I have PTSD…. from my vacuum cleaner. When we first got our Dyson many years ago it was wonderful, I vacuumed the house so easily and breezy, we looked like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, in sync, swaying, moving easily throughout the house like a dancing team, me and my Dyson. As years passed, the Dyson began to slow down, the container holding all the dust would randomly open and pour out everything it just picked up, and the worst part, the battery would die after only two minutes. Every time I vacuumed it was like I was on a game show with a running clock. I had to race around the house, while holding the container together and praying the battery would not run out. This is how I vacuumed my entire house. In two-minute increments. Exhausting!
Breaking news! We got a new vacuum cleaner, but the stress and trauma from the old one is still hovering. Our new one works. It works, but my brain is still living in the past. It was so bad for so long and took so much time and stress to get anything done, and because of that it has taken a minute for my brain to accept that change has finally come. It took a moment. Everything was so dirty and frustrating, it felt like it was going to be bad forever, but I finally made it to the other side.
Speaking of dirty and frustrating, it's been another week of pure insanity, let's get into it.
Useless Thoughts
Greenland, Canada, and now Gaza?! Yes, my jaw hit the floor while watching TRUMP claim Gaza as ours now?! Our real estate leader seems to think earth is a big game of Monopoly, where you can put up hotels anywhere you want. Gaza is like a fixer upper to him, a handyman’s special on the water. The press conference was shocking. The most shocking part…that it was Trump meeting with Netanyahu and not our actual President, Elon Musk. What the hell is going on? And you know every other country in the world is like don't make eye contact, maybe he won't notice us and claim us as theirs. Trump is like Kanye West and America is like Kanye’s wife. Humiliated, naked and afraid.😳
Speaking of vile Kanye, THE GRAMMYS were fun-ish. Some of the outfits were nuts, but that’s to be expected from musicians, creatives, it's always been this way and makes it more fun to watch. Tayler Swift and Benson Boone looked like ice skaters. And how about his triple axle flip off the piano!! Perfect 10! Amazing! I was so disappointed that Beyonce beat out Kasey Musgrave, makes zero sense to me, but as we all know, the Grammys has never been about the music. The Beach Boys, The Who, Queen, Jimi Hendrix, The Supremes, Bob Marley never won a Grammy, hence it’s not about the music. The winners of the night, Shakira’s sons! What a precious duo. So respectful and loving of their Mama! Filled my heart my joy! 🎵
Another great Mama, KELLY RIPA! Watching this dog Mama come out and do her show right after putting down her beloved precious pup was hard to watch. She tried really hard to function and be at work, and do her job, but she was dying! She couldn't stop crying. She wanted to stop, you could tell, she kept covering her face, she didn't want the attention, but the reality of the situation took over and the tears just kept pouring down. I felt so bad for her, but so much respect that she tried and if you’ve lost a pet, you know the first week of them being gone is unbearable! Unbearable, you think you’re going to be sad for the rest of your life. Of course you do eventually move on, but in the beginning there's no peace, it's just endless grief. I’m sorry Kelly & Mark and I know you’ll rescue another lucky angel soon and you’ll feel whole again!🐶
Which reminds me of a quote…
I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you; but instead I am deeply honored knowing you spent the rest of your life with me.

The mainstream media covering the BLAKE LIVELY/JUSTIN BALDONI case has been really disappointing. The fact that they withhold evidence and proof that we’ve all seen on TikTok and YouTube is so confusing to me. E! News, People Magazine, The Hollywood Reporter, are all in bed with the cuckoo Reynolds family. Why? I have no idea. You’re the media. You don't need to pick a side, all you need to do is print the truth. Why they’re withholding that from their audience literally makes zero sense, unless I guess they're getting paid and are actually part of the real smear campaign against Justin. Just look at this headline regarding the movie.
BULLSHIT! SHOW ME THE PROOF!
Domestic abuse survivors live in fear. So, to all you feminists screaming believe women, start with hearing the ones who are crying. Blake did LITERALLY NOTHING for abuse survivors. She never spoke about it, she never reached out to them, included them, listened to them, or cared about them. Justin however has spent years working and talking to survivors and was trying to make this movie about real victims and help them have a voice.
This article goes on to say how much they support Blake without giving even one example of how she advanced the conversation around domestic violence. You can find endless examples from Justin from podcasts, interviews, etc. it’s all there for the world to see. Blake, nothing. Just screamed, wear your florals and promoted her stupid alcohol poison during the press of the movie, which in my view is still the sickest thing I’ve ever witnessed. (if you know, you know).
Blake was not living in fear and wasn't scared to go to work. The fact that she and Ryan bulldozed this guy, completely took over the movie, ruined it, threatened, sued, threw him in the basement, got him dropped from his agent, and future projects, repeatedly calling him a predator, manipulated Taylor Swift and anyone and everyone around her. WHY? Greed? Ego? That just seemed impossible to me that someone would go to such great lengths to destroy another person, another family. My brain doesn’t work that way. It's like it does not compute that people could truly be this way, but meanwhile we are surrounded by this phenomenon, greed, power, ego with Trump, Musk, and all the sociopaths in the White House. I’m guilty. I fell victim to the endless feminist calls and was so confused, not understanding that a woman could be just as crazy and want power and would do whatever it takes to get it. So, my bad, just thinking guys are sociopaths. Turns out I’m not a good feminist, without even realizing it, I was assuming men and women are not equal.🤪
And finally,
THE SUPER BOWL is Sunday, and it couldn't come soon enough. The world feels so incredibly intense right now and it will be nice to get stoned, make nachos, watch over-priced commercials, hopefully see a close game, see Taylor in the stands supporting Travis, watch Tom Brady commentate and call everyone a stud, check out all the crazy bets people made from the coin toss to interceptions or whether or not Travis will propose to Taylor, and of course the halftime show. I know nothing about Kendrick Lamar, just that the kids love him, so maybe that will be fun (highly unlikely). I’d rather see some vintage rock, like the Grateful Dead, that would be so cool, but I know, I’m just an old lady now, who embarrasses her son just by saying the word “cool” and have been told by him, many times, I’m not a cool mom. Darn! Oh well! Enjoy the game everyone. Have fun! 🏈
That’s all folks. Keep on keeping on!
And…Sorry you can’t unread this!

You’re the coolest mom I know!✌🏻💙
