Happy Birthday Frankenboot!

As you get older, you find that you can usually count your true friends on one or two hands, not more. So today is the birthday of my true friend, who also happens to be my best friend: Heidi Ho. She is my best friend for several reasons:

• I can always call on her for advice or a shoulder to cry on.
• No matter how much I irritate and annoy her she still wants to be my bestest bud.
• No matter how mad she got when I told her that I was moving half a world away, she still spoke to me.
• She doesn't get older, she gets better!
• She is the most fanatically NY Islanders fan I have ever met in my life!
• She loves Disney movies even more than I do. Anyone that has Disney Trivial Pursuit must!
• She understands why Eeyore has High Hopes and Low Expectations.
• Knows how gross Budweiser really is since Coors Light rules!
• She loves hanging at Tri-County looking for dumb stuff like new scrunchies!
• Loves getting new pocketbooks made by hot designers such as: DK and Y or Kada Spada.
• Knows that Beauty and the Beast is the greatest Disney movie ever!

So here's to the bestest bud in all the world: Heidi! Hope you day is a groovy one and no lizards try to kiss you!

All Time Cheesy Ballad Playlist??

I was so busy at work today I had no free time. I worked thru lunch and found my lunch, partially eaten, still on my desk at 5:30. I did get a small reprieve and was listening to a BORING conference call while surfing the Internet. I came across this great article on Entertainment Weekly about "all time cheesy ballads" . . . This made me chuckle since we frequently come up with lists like this at work frequently. Some of the previous list include: Greatest Superhero of All Time; Greatest Action Hero; Stupidest Movie of all Time; Greatest Movies of all Time, etc.

The article can be found at the following link for your reading enjoyment: http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20034199,00.html

One thing that I find laughable at work is that the people that tend to come in for interviews to work in my department are fetuses. Half of them are barely 21. It is crazy. I know that when my girlfriends and I go out we laugh about how most of the guys that are out looking for girls are fetuses. They are actually young enough to be our own children. Scary Thought! My great friend Tiz whom I happen to be lucky enough to work with, who is also my brother from another mother, is the same age that I am. When we have new people start that are born in 1985 and 1986 we laugh and remember what good years those were. We recently had a guy start that celebrated his 21st birthday. I laughed with Tiz, I actually have shoes that are older than him. Anyway, back to the point. Most people that are born in the 90's and after have no idea what a ballad is. In my mind, that is a term from the 70's and 80's. Funny enough, the theme song from my Senior Ball in High School made this list.

Please read the article and enjoy the stroll down memory lane. I may just have to go home and get the photo album out and take a look at my high school yearbook and look at the horrible 80's hairstyles. Just for the record, the theme song for my Senior Ball was: Phil Collins, One More Night. Oh the memories.

My personal favorite all time cheesy ballad: Take My Breath Away by Berlin. I mean wasn't Top Gun the greatest movie of all time and Tom Cruise just the dreamiest??
