Two great things happened this weekend and I’m so excited, I just had to share! First, I was selected as one of the top 3 bloggers by Demand Media – the company behind all the online content for heavyweights like USA Today, LiveStrong, eHow and the Chicago Sun Times! This is a huge honor and …
Gwen Stefani with 4-month-old Zuma Nesta Rock (I cannot hear that name and not immediately think Zima. I’m sure she did not mean it but her baby will forever be linked to a much-mocked adult beverage.) If this is “gross, big and uncool” sign me up! Gwen Stefani is hot.

(You know back before the whole fairytale fell apart into the sordid mess of eating disorders, spousal abuse, extra-marital affair, divorce and untimely death – Disney would be rolling in his grave but I bet the Grimm brothers are pretty proud!)
