I had an experience in a doctor’s office yesterday that reminded me of his ‘Doctors’ bit. So I thought I’d post this cute little video and a photo of me waiting ;) You’re welcome. Tee hee ;) I just don’t get why we have to put on the robe to wait. If I already gotta sit there for 35-40 minutes, why do I have to have my ass out?
Ahhhh, one of life’s seminal questions…
The waiting game...
And here’s Jerry’s take on doctors. If you’ve never seen this bit, enjoy. And if you know it… sing along! ;)
There’s a young guy who I’m ‘friends’ with on MySpace who sent me this photo that he doctored up of me in Photoshop. He said it was“Me… as Beyonce.” This was, how shall I say it… a non-commissioned work (or is it uncommissioned?) Either way, I didn’t ask for it, and I had no idea it was coming. So imagine my surprise when it arrived in my inbox…
Ummm... Thanks?
What up with the ocean/sky backround? Am I on a cruise? … Also I’m not sure why my lips are so black in the corner, and why he added makeup, and whose necklace that is, and how by adding a brown wig to my headshot, he managed to make me look like a drag queen… To borrow from Robert Downey Jr.’s Oscar-nominated performance in Tropic Thunder: “I look like a dude playing a chick playing… a crackhead?
It’s hilarious to look at, but not for the reasons he intended I’m sure. Unless he hates me. But the worst part is that this is what he thinks Beyonce looks like. With that wig and that flower, I’m looking way more Neicy Nash ;)
never thought I'd have the need to use this photo ever again
I feel the need to include the original headshot in this post so you all can at least see what it really looks like. But what I need from y’all is for you to tell me (1) this photo looks nothing like the original — BECAUSE IT DOESN’T … Right? (2) a little outrage would be nice, and (3) a few “Wow E, that’s a really cute photo”s would be a nice touch too.
I was outside all day yesterday (ALL DAY = 5am – 5 pm) participating in the biggest and most historic event of my lifetime. My body is beginning to forgive me. And as soon as I can corral all the info and photos I have from yesterday, I’m gonna post about it. In the meanwhile, I thought I’d share the photos my parents sent me this morning. They watched the inauguration events from their living room, but they were just as into it as the millions of folks here in DC… Haha… you do remember me talking about my mom’s slightly stalkerish obsession with President Obama magazine covers, right?… Please notice how the collection has grown ;)
Blankets are such a pain in the arse! Why didn’t I think of this sooner?
But all jokes aside, I think I might actually want this. Maybe not because it’s functional. But because it’s hilarious. And kind of creepy at the same time. Snuggie, the blanket with sleeves, is quietly moving up on the EJ after-Christmas must-have list!
Kymaro Body Shaper
OK, so I own several pair of Spanx. And they’re great. But then the other nite after one of my shows in Indy I saw this infomercial for the Kymaro Body Shaper and my good ole friends Jack and Ginger were talking to me like,“Go ahead, EJ! You should totally buy that. No need to do a sit up or go for a jog, This will solve all your problems…”I know myself well enough not to drunk dial infomercial hotlines but I did save the number in my phone. I didn’t see it or even remember doing this until this afternoon. Then I didn’t remember what it was so I Googled Kymaro. And I got a bunch of horrible reviews of this product. Some very kind woman actually did a play-by-play on how the infomercial is a piece of crap. I love it. So glad I didn’t buy this. And just in case there was anyone out there who’s considered buying it — check out the chart below AND the online reviews. Her comments on the chart are soooo funny.
You’re welcome.
I did just buy the 30-Day Shred, so we’ll see how that works. Who knows, before long I may not have a need for Kymaro or Spanx… I won’t however be making any New Year’s weight loss resolutions. I’m just gonna make sure all my tags are tucked in ;)
Tee hee ;) Come to a show for explanation on that last sentence :)
This is Miles Avore ;) Adorable bulldog of Karen and Chris — who incidentally are expecting their very own new bundle of little person joy any day now! How exciting ;) I’ve been asking for months — actually since the day I found out Karen was expecting — if they’d consider naming the baby Erin Rashida.
I believe they seriously considered it… Because it makes me giggle to think so.
But about a week ago Chris told me that Erin Rashida Avore was out of the running because a panel of baby-naming experts determined that the clash of the soft vowel sounds in the middle and last names would be too troublesome. Totally get it. I know that if y’all had a different last name, she’d be named after me for sure. And hey look, I appreciate the offer, but I can’t let you guys change your last name. Too much paperwork… Y’all should just go ahead and pick another name.
Anyway, back to the adorable-ness that is Miles… I’m severely allergic to most dogs and all cats, but I would snuggle with this dog until the EMS techs pried him from my itchy, swollen hands. Seriously.
