Odds and Ends

I'm going to try and look at this Andervacation as a time to clear out my inbox. I've got some Anderson stuff and non Anderson stuff that's been piling up, so hang on. It's going to be one of my ADHD type posts.
I came across this in the August 7th issue of US Weekly. I'm a little behind in my magazine reading, wonder why?
Since the current People's Sexiest Man Alive included John Robert's in the same category as Anderson, I've decided to boycott it.

Speaking of JR I had a sinking feeling, when I saw John King doing TSR, that Roberts was back from Iraq and subbing for AC. I understand that it makes sense for JK to do TSR, since he lives in the DC area. But making sense just doesn't please me. With my DH still communing with nature I had an entire week to dedicate to 360 worship. What am I going to do now?
Speaking of my dear husband, Monday was our wedding anniversary. Yea, I know he should be here to celebrate, but I laid a huge guilt trip on him and got a wonderful present. The man is a saint to put up with me and my obsession, but let's keep that between us.

A few weeks ago I bought a packet of Anderson clippings and a craft book by his mother,Gloria Vanderbilt, on eBay. It's been a treasure trove of pictures. Most aren't new but it's nice to have the original publication instead of an internet capture. In the craft book Gloria made a doll in her image. It sort of freaked me out because I remember Anderson showing a doll on the old ABC overnight news show, that looked like him. Here's Gloria's


And here's the clip of Anderson with his look alike doll.

Someone sent me this picture with the heading of 'safe sex dress'. There's nothing like being prepared when you go out on that big date.
So what are you planning on doing with your 2 extra hours everynight this week? I think I'm going to start decorating for the holidays.
Happy Birthday to American Tomboy!

I hope he enjoys his turkey,cause he is causing alot of heartache for your holidays. I am planning to catch up on my sleep during this Andervacation. What I want to know is just how long this vacation is going to be. He is in NOLA speaking again a week Wednesday!

I'm still blogging. The news stops for no one! I think you guys are too hard on John Roberts. Yeah, he's not my favorite, but he's okay. Now Rick Sanchez, that's another story.

Phebe, maybe I will go through all the boxes of Christmas decorations and get rid of some old stuff and begin decorating, too.

I usually have to cajole my husband and son into helping me with the outside lights.

They're hard to get to slow down because of their hunting trips here and there. (Deer and ducks!) If they aren't hunting them they are watching them on tv. Dear Lord!

It must be totally true about opposites attract. My husband and I are night and day from one another.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Happy Birthday Tomboy!

Pheb- even tho you're boycotting People, you might like the Stephen Colbert comment (on being named one of sexiest) I posted at AHA

Rachel said...

LOL!! Chucky!!! Just kidding
Someone told him it's in his office? Not sure.

Skin the color of a dead fish? DUDE, not cool as Anderson and I have the same skin tone. And what culture is it that finds our skin tone attractive? I must go there.

American Tomboy said...

Phebe and xtina - thank you so much for the birthday wishes!! That was very thoughtful of you. I'm having a great birthday but it would really end on a great note if there was some live Anderson to watch tonight. I am going to be in NYC for the Thanksgiving holiday - but he's probably not! Didn't someone say on here that he hates Thanksgiving? I wonder why? Anyway, thanks again for thinking of me on my birthday.

Oh Lord! Love the dress! Countless nights of fun! Okay, I'll be good!

xtina, Stephen Colbert is soo awesome! He's such a sweetheart! I love the librarian comment!

rachel, I'm joinging you! I'm the palest Italian in the WORLD!

Okay I have one very funny comment related to the dress! I went to type in the the verification letters to post my comment. Do you all know what they were?

I don't care for John Roberts because he's bland.... I like a little spice in my news ;) I'd perfer John King but I'll be honest and say I don't watch 360 if Anderson's not on. I usually end up watching the situation room and that's all the news I need for the day.

where is Anderson this week?

phebe said...

@eliza, I like Ric Sanchez, how sick is that?
@joanie, the elk are safe again after tomorrow. Of course he's heading home in time for a big meal. Typical man. If you've been reading a while you know I'm of the 'opposites attract' school. Glad to hear I have company.
@anon, I have no idea where he is, why doesn't he clear these vacations with us? :P

Ally said...

Tim Gunn - are they serious? Well, he was in the Sexiest People this week, which was just nasty, but...I just don't get it. At least Andy took the vote. ;)

eliza said...

@Phebe-Oh, very sick! ;) Besides his less than stellar reporting, I can't let it go that he killed someone while drunk driving. Of course Cafferty hit a biker and I love him, so I guess that makes me a hypocrite. Man, CNNers just need to stay off the road.

Rachel said...

@ Phebe...
WHAAAAAAAA????

You like Rick "tase me again" Sanchez?

Hey look I just made up nickname for Rick....hehe

Billie Newman said...

I'd like to think he went to MS to visit the Cooper Clan, but he's probably either home in NYC or LI yelling at John Roberts - I can just hear him "It's AC 360, not 360 get it right Roberts!" lol.

PS I cleaned up AC's language a bit afterall there are ladies present.

I got more time to go around the blog this long weekend, and thought, I'll just write something here, though it's already passed, couple of days ago, but it's interesting.
@rachel, It's in some part of Africa where they find skin color attractive.I'm not sure about other places but it's pretty serious over there (i.e when it comes to women)
