Top Ten Things I Won't do in 2009.....

Tuesday, January 6, 2009.....

As everyone announces their goals for 2009, I thought I'd take a different approach.

Yes, I have goals for this upcoming year, but thought it'd be more fun to tell you things that will definitely not make the list. Here are my Top 10 Things that didn't make my 2009 goals list:

1. Spit. I know what you're thinking. How can she make that declaration? I can. It is extremely rare that I do spit (the dentist chair) and have had many opps over the years to do so, but chose not to.

2. Run a Marathon. I may run one in 2010 or 2011, but not in 2009. I walked a marathon and I'm not delusional enough to think I'm in shape or have the willpower to want to train for one this year. However, kudos to everyone else who does. I think it is a marvelous goal.

3. See any Rocky Movie. I haven't yet and it is my personal mission to keep that mission alive.

4. Sing on the Bonnie Hunt Show. Bonnie Hunt has had some non-famous people on her show perform (one danced the new Beyonce video), but I really can't sing. In fact, I'm pretty horrible and am proud of that fact.

5. Become a Stripper. Unless it is a paint stripper, I will not be stripping in clubs this year. Although, I'm unemployed and I bet they make a decent salary, I will not be doing this.

6. Have dinner at the White House. I really shouldn't rule this one out, but since it hasn't happened yet and I don't know the Obamas, it is safe to assume that I will not be eating at the White House.

7. Not buy a cookbook. That's just silly talk. Anyone who knows me, knows I might stop breathing without my cookbook collection.

8. Read the Bible. I know. I know... I've heard it's a great book, but I know I'm not going to read it in 2009. I have a stack of books I plan to get through this year - some trashy, some classics, but not the bible. In fact, I don't believe I have one in the house. Does that mean I'm going to burn in hell?

9. Skydiving. Not this year. However, I do see this in my future.

10. Star in a Broadway Musical. See # 4 above. Seriously, I have no singing or dancing talent, but I do love to see shows in NYC....

I'm happy I made this list. I have 10 less things to worry about not accomplishing this year. It's so nice to take that burden off my shoulders.

I'd be curious to know what others have on their 2009 Not to Do List....

The Bonnie Hunt Talk Show.....

Thursday, September 11, 2008.....

Okay. I bet you're thinking why did I dedicate a blog entry to The Bonnie Hunt Show? No, I don't work for her, nor do I know her personally. However, it beat the alternative title of "why I consider talk shows to be a possible car wreck"?

You know how most drive by a car accident and look, but turn their head as soon as they see a possible victim, well, I don't. I either look or I'm busy cursing why I'm stuck in stupid traffic. Seriously, people slow down causing a standstill traffic jam because they "think" they have to look when they really don't want to. It's just annoying to me. If you're that curious to look then look and be grossed out. Don't pretend, slow down traffic and not look. That's just wrong.

However, I have a different version of a car wreck. They are new talk shows. Ever since the Chevy Chase talk show, I'm hooked to watch the beginning of some new talk shows. The Chevy Chase talk show, if any remember, was so horrible that I couldn't stop watching. If it were a car accident, many people would drive by pretending to look, but would have to turn their head. I, secretly hoped that the medics could revive him, but nope.

I have to admit, I don't watch every new talk show that comes out. Some, I actually know will work because of their established fan base, their hot factor, but others, I wonder about. I knew they could be a hit or miss. Megan Mullally's show was another car wreck and I knew it was to be short lived after week one.

I dvr'd the Bonnie Hunt show because I felt she could straddle the fence of being a car wreck, but I am happy to report she's not. She has an ease about her that makes her real and very enjoyable to watch. I hope that she's on the air for a long time.
