What a weekend. I don’t even know where to start today! I spent some time at my favorite little Chinese place, Yee’s Village in Townsend. Steve Yee has been a good little friend of mine since I was like 15 and I like to check in with him every few weeks for some of his chicken wings! When you are on a workout plan like I am, Chicken Wings are not so bad, right?
So I grabbed my friend Nik (yes, there is no “c” in his name) and headed there for a night of bad decisions. I am not a big drinker and really only drink Bud Light or now Bud Light with Lime every so often, but I decided to have my 1st ever scorpion bowl. I must say, pretty tasty Mr. Yee! They seem to go down just as smooth as my diet coke and go very well with wings. I had a few of these neat little treats and got into some great topics with the bar crowd, who were all in the same boat of understanding nothing anyone said but still nodded their heads and agreed with everything all while smiling! After a few hours of useless banter and prank calls from the bar (someday I will share some with you), we called it a night and headed home. And for the record, we had a DD, so MOM, you can relax when you read this!
On Sunday, I had my sons Pop Warner Football game at Oakmont High School in the nice community of Ashburnham. Now, I am a huge fan of any sport my son plays in and supports his teams any way I can and just love to watch his teams play. He is on a young team and they all work hard with the help of some great coaches. That is what Pop Warner is all about. You learn the game of football, have some fun and get a taste of what it will be like when you get to High School. Well, I must say the fine folks of Oakmont have a great field, great teams and great coaches, BUT, the guy who runs their league needs to get a pie in the face!
I don’t even know his name, but I have never wanted to trip someone when they walked by me so they fell into a pile of manure as I did this guy! He comes off as the kind of guy who was made fun of so much as a kid that he now takes it out on everyone around him! Last year we had to play this team and this guy almost started a battle with our coaches (who remained calm!) over things that were just uncalled for, and now this year, he is right back at it all while in front of the kids! I remember last year his own team parents were apologizing to us for his behavior! All I want to say is youth sports are for learning and fun and you act like you are going for the Lombardi trophy. I give your coaches credit, I would have told you to get lost a long time ago. I’m sure you care about the kids and do some good things, but buddy, relax and enjoy the game! It isn’t the kid’s fault you were always the last one picked for dodge ball and you had a horrible hair cut as a child!
Okay, now that I have that rant out of the way, I also stopped by my friend’s house to see his “straight from the oven” twins! (Welcome Ryan and Gavin Rollo to the world and big shout out to their older brother Connor!) They are like 1 month old, tiny and seemed to think I was funny! I would tell them jokes and then make them smile by taking my fingers and moving their lips into smile position. It is always great to get fake smiles from infants to make you feel like you are funny! I had some gifts for them and that got me to thinking…What is the obsession with Rattles and why do babies like them? I mean, they make such annoying sounds and give people a headache! How is that remotely fun for a baby to hear that? I would much rather have like a pacifier that would sing sweet little songs to me or a diaper that had an alarm that would alert the adults as to when I had a mess so they could change me ASAP! The rattle just seems so irrelevant and I will never buy one again to save all future babies I may meet of these useless noise makers.
Now, the best news of the weekend is with my Cousin Eric. This guy is a professional model and has been all over the world doing his thing and we are all proud of his work. BUT, now I think he is out to ruin my day! I found out this morning that he just got back from showing off his looks wearing some new clothing line from Russell Simmons. Now, you may ask why am I so jealous? After all, I am starting my modeling career and should be happy for him, right? Well, this new clothing line will be in Wal Mart sores and that means HE will be in the Wal Mart flier possibly before ME! I can’t have that happen! That is my baby! I need to get on the phone today with them and see how I can expedite my “pictorial” so I can be the 1st in the family to be in the flier! I have worked too hard over the past 3 weeks to be upstaged by a family member who is leaving for Spain today to be in some high end catalog or something! I think he has it out for me and intentionally did this to show me there is only room for 1 model in the family! Well, I will show him! Look for me to post some calls this week in my quest to make it happen!
I also have some interviews this week with Leslie David Baker who plays “Stanley” on my favorite TV shows “The Office” and local guy and one of the stars of “ER”, Scott Grimes. Now, I need to go have a bottle of water and plot my next move with Wal Mart. And, what the heck was up with the Patriots game? Was that a bad dream??
Wow your own cousin is out to take your glory away! You should post a picture of him so we can see what he looks like. That is funny!

Wow…that is really great to read! Not only is my cousin a model, but when you click on his name about, it turns out he is a FORD model (and no, that is not the car people…it is like the elite agency for models!).
I am going to have to get him on the phone as this is not a fair battle for me. I am new and raw at this and he is like one of those people on the walls at Abercrombie or something!
Well, at least he says there is room for both of us. I just need to be 1st! Someone help me!!!

That guy sounds like a piece of work. They forget it is for the kids and not about their own egos! Too bad because he is a role model for kids and they will think it is acceptable behavior.
Sounds like your cousin is going to make it tough for you! I can’t wait to see how it all ends up and if you beat him to it.
And how is it you have never had a scorpion bowl before? You seem like the type that has one everyday before work!

I can’t believe how serious this WALMART thing is getting! It cracks me up to think about how bad you want to be in it. Maybe now that you have some competition, you will want it more! And, why didn’t he know your goal and help you out? Maybe he can make a call for you.
I look forward to hearing your interviews. I love the office and you make me laugh with some of the questions you ask them. I think you even throw them off a bit!

I love scorpian bowls! Yummy! Where is this Yees place? We all work in Fitchburg which is close to where you live I think. We would love to meet the guy with a chicken bucket on his head and see if you are as funny in person! And you can show us how you look in sweaters!

Babies love rattles! You need to think of it the way they do. They make some noise and they can hold it in their hands. It is just some stimulation for them or something like that!
And I can’t wait to see how this shakes down with your cousin. He seems to be a few steps ahead of you! You may want to call JD back and tell her to get going on that call! I do like your shaved head though!

Hey! You probably don’t remember me cause you meet a ton of people, but I met you a few years back at the Palace at your birthday party. You were hosting the night and were so funny! I can’t believe I just looked at the site and saw your picture with a bucket of chicken on your head! You always cracked me up on the radio and missed you over there. It is too young for me now (and I’m only 30!) and I like this station a lot. Your blogs made me laugh so hard today! And that interview with Janice Dickinson was unlike any I have heard before! I’m so glad to see you over here and will check this out all of the time! Are you still doing any clubs? I love how you bust on everyone! Have a great day!
