Fired!

If this woman still has a job, the news director should be fired. Unacceptable.

3 Days to Go

Tuesday could be a disaster. But, I'll be watching.

Tahoe Pictures

Just got some pictures from our photo session in Lake Tahoe in my good ol' inbox. Thought I'd share them with you.

Not much news to report. Cherie says Lila went potty in the toilet on Wednesday. That's a big deal, but I refuse to acknowledge the accomplishment until I witness it myself. So there. Enjoy your photos.

Repeat After Me!

Here's another video -- similar and longer, but just as cute!

Lots of News...

... about 90210 of course, as the premiere date gets closer (9.02), more and more news is out, including the first promo featuring Brenda & Kelly together.

Also, here's a sneak peek at the new Peach Pit.

And then there's word that Tori Spelling may not be out forever...

And, at what point will we learn that the new "Silver" is Erin Silver (Mel & Jackie's kid)?
This info from an article may get us one step closer:

"While the new show seems to embrace diversity in a far more explicit way than the original — which was roundly criticized for its all-white cast — there are no wholly Jewish characters this time around. The closest is a female character known as “Silver,” who, according to a spokesman for the show, is half-Jewish. Silver is presumably a descendant of the original show’s other Jewish character, David Silver, who dabbled in being a hip-hop DJ, as did the actor who played him, Brian Austin Green. Green is now a series regular on the Fox show “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.”

Bombshell I didn't know about:
Green (as in Brian Austin Green) has a son, Kassius, with former "Beverly Hills, 90210" co-star Vanessa Marcil.
I knew he dated Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, but had no idea about crazy Gina!
Also, did you know Ian Ziering is 44?!?!?

Well, I think it's clear that I can hardly wait the 18 days until the show launches!

Back from Vacation!

LMCP is back from her first vacation that required an airplane and several nights in a hotel. We had a great time visiting with Grandma, Grandpa, Grammy & Grampy, Auntie Gayle, Gene and Cousin Josh. In fact, LMCP thinks Josh is just about the coolest thing around.

We did great on the plane -- the hardest part was just sitting still, but LMCP was never afraid and was all-around a pretty good girl. We loaded up all of our stuff (and there was a lot--good thing we flew Southwest and didn't have to pay to check our bags) and headed to Tahoe in a minivan Grandma & Grandpa rented. We stayed at Montbleu, which we don't necessarily recommend. LMCP did great at our fancy dinner and slept in her big-girl crib in the hotel. We had a fancy photo shoot outside, and we're hoping the weirdo photographer may have got one or two useable shots. It's hard to get people in so many different age groups to get it all together all at once. I wasn't very good about taking pictures, but I got a few good ones. We were just too busy having fun to stop for pics!

The photo shoot wore out Grampy! (And the rest of us!)

This picture may be better than any the photog took, here's Auntie Gayle & Uncle Gene:

That's right, Grandma bought me this cool new bathing suit, following the Dora Incident. LMCP got spoiled rotten with lots of new books, toys and clothes. Thanks, everyone!

Grammy is pretty cool, too. LMCP especially loves the new puzzle Grammy brought her.

Here's Josh! They're pretty good friends! LMCP thinks he's hilarious!

Auntie Gayle is great. She took LMCP to the beach and babysat one night so Mom & Dad could go on a date. (And Mom was on fire on the roulette table!)

Ummm, I don't know if I'm ready for Grampy to tickle me. Maybe next time.

We're sure LMCP wasn't trying to hurt Grandma's feelings, but she sure kept her distance. Sorry, Grandma. You'll be chasing after her in no time with your new hip!!

The plane ride home may have been a little shorter without all the delays, but LMCP did great anyway!

And after a long vacation, the best thing to do is relax in the car on the way home. What a tired girl!

90210: Stop the Insanity

Word on the street is, Tori Spelling is begging 9-0-Deuce producers to let her real-life hubby, Dean McDermott, appear in the new show. C'mon. Now, I'll admit, I like the "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" show on Oxygen. And I don't watch reality TV. But seriously, you're trying to get him on the show. Lame. That would be like me asking my boss to let Chad anchor sports at work. (I'm sure he'd do great, but it just doesn't work like that). So, let the rage begin. I have to say, I'm pumped for the new show, but Tori needs to let the nepotism die with her dad. (Was that too far?)

In other 90210 news, there is a new promo out that features Jennie Garth. (Producers, you BETTER NOT change the show's theme music, c'mon! What are you doing to us?) Now, it's official. I also learned Carol Potter will NOT be part of the new show, because she's doing some show called "Greek." And, I stumbled upon this "Old 90210" trivia article. Test your knowledge. (My score: You got 100% correct. Either you've had wikipedia open this whole time or you are simply amazing. Tell your friends and make them slow clap for you.)

USA Today is also on the 90210 bandwagon, with an article comparing the "old" version (I think I prefer "classic" or "original" to the "new").

And now you are up to date... for tonight.

Busy Days

LMCP is very busy these days. We have a pool on loan from some friends that is a big shark, that also has a sprinkler in it. LMCP appears to like it very much. She got a new bathing suit, after the Dora Incident ruined her old one. We had to get her outfitted for our upcoming trip to Lake Tahoe. Anyway, Cherie tested it out today in the shark pool, and I think LMCP looks a little bit like a 1940's Hollywood Starlett, don't you? It must be the big "Hello Kitty" sunglasses (which she loves, by the way). Here are some fun pics from the pool.

Also, here is a (very long-- you've been warned) video of LMCP attempting some songs. Basically, you hear a lot of me singing, with the occasional back-up. You also hear a lot of cheering for my singing, which proves LMCP could be tone deaf.

Late on the News

And I know you all know this, but Shannen Doherty is definitely coming back to the new 90210. Click here to read all about the exciting (and I predict pretty lame) story line involving Brenda Walsh.

Too tired for ice cream?

This can't be my daughter -- too tired for ice cream? Here's the story: Cherie took Lila to the library. Before their adventure, Lila was playing in the pool in the backyard in her bathing suit. Cherie tried to change her before their trip to the library, but LMCP REFUSED! She threw a fit and wanted to wear it all day (I've heard about this stage, now I guess we're there). So, Cherie packed up the stroller and they went to the library. After playing amongst the books, they went to our local pet shop, where LMCP checked out the "free range" turtles, and a sweet kitty. I'm also told she kept pointing to the fish on her bathing suit then to the fishes in the tank -- showing everyone who would pay attention.



Then, on the way home, they encountered an ice cream truck. Cherie sweetly bought LMCP a "Dora" treat. LMCP loved it so much, even though she was exhausted. She ate as much as she could before starting to doze off. But, when Cherie tried to take it away, she had a fit, wanting to hold onto the melting treat and it's mysterious stick. Eventually, she starting snoozing, with the "Dora" melting all over the place. Cherie documented it all with pictures that tell the story much better than we ever could!
