BBVD on DWTS

So many initials! My friend's son is in the swing band, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. They'll be performing on Dancing With the Stars this Tuesday night, March 17. Look for the short one! His daughter is 4 1/2 years old. She commented to her mom, "Mommy, I noticed that some of the other girls have desserts in their lunch boxes. Would it be possible for me to have a dessert, too?" Too funny. Not as cute as Froody's Lauren, but still cute.

Julie Chen filmed a segment on "The Unit." This show is filmed in areas close to my home. They closed a few streets the other day and left notices on our front doors, to expect loud explosions. Last week, the Ellen DeGeneres show visited a woman in my town. I recognized the condo unit, which is very close by. The woman went into the "golddigger" cage to scoop up money. She stuffed the bills into her clothes as the money twirled around in the wind in the cage.

We rented a movie last weekend, "Frozen River." Melissa Leo, who I had never heard of before, was nominated for Best Actress in the movie. It was excellent. Then we re-watched it all over again, while the producer and director commented on each scene and the details behind the scenes. It was a low-budget movie and quite good. I like the extras that come with renting DVD's.

I went into Walgreens a couple of weeks ago. I found "2-buck choc," which is a play on Trader Joe's "2-buck chuck." It was a huge chunk of chocolate for $2. Loved the name, 2-buck choc!

Wheezy is coming to town! She'll be in several locations within an hour of here, so I'm going to see her at a book signing on March 27!
