The grocery store had all the flavors of Chex Mix on sale today, so I bought a bag of the original recipe Chex Mix. I used to make this mix myself, back in the day. One of my neighbor from when I used to live in Fredericksburg had a party at her house and invited me. She served homemade Chex Mix at the party and I was hooked! She was sweet enough to give me her recipe for it and I made up a batch for every party or special occasion that came up, like picnics and pot lucks. But it has been a long time since I made up a batch. I just realized how long it has been since I even had a party here. That needs to be rectified ASAP!
Weird Tyra
The first time I heard this I thought it was a crazy lie or a publicity stunt. But then I heard it a second time, from Tyra Banks herself during an interview on a TV news show. She says that when she was a teenager she was not popular at all and no one ever asked her out on a date. So she would look at herself in a full length mirror in her bedroom and kiss the mirror, like she was kissing herself. She said that she did deep kisses and french kisses, for the practice.
Sorry, Tyra. That is just too weird for me. I don’t think you should be telling on yourself like that, either. Those kinds of things are better kept as secrets. Its just too much info and it does nothing to enhance your image at all.
Showtime New Shows
Tonight is the series premieres of two big shows on the Showtime cable network. This weekend is a free preview weekend, too. So even if you don’t have showtime on your cable subscription service, you can watch their movies and shows tonight. If you like them you can add it to your cable for only $10 extra each month. Think about it – if you watch just two movies on the cable channel, it’s cheaper than going to the theater.
Name Game
Are you old enough to remember a song from childhood called, “Name Game”? They sing bama bama no-bama, banana fanah no fanah . . . it is a cute little novelty song. I heard them sing a version of this song on a commercial tonight, where a male nurse is giving a little girl a dose of medicine and he has her sing with him during the procedure.
I was thinking about the name game and how my name, Michele, is spelled with just one “l” instead of two, and how my girlfriend April Michele not only spells her name with just one “l” but it is her middle name that she uses as part of her first name. Anyone who knows he,r knows to call her April Michele. Only people like teacher’s and nurses or the clerk at the DMV call her by just April.
