My co-worker, Amy, called me over to her desk to look at this picture.

Amy said, "What could happen during your day to make you do this?"

Indeed.

According to the Associated Press, this undated mug shot released by the Middletown, Ohio, police department shows Michelle Allen, 32. Allen was arrested Sept. 27, 2008.

Police allege she impeded traffic, urinated on a neighbor's porch and chased children while wearing a cow suit, according to a Middletown police report.

Right. . .

So, are police saying it's not OK to dress up in your cow suit, play in traffic, use your neighbor's porth as a toliet and frighten small children when you chase them?

What is this world coming to, when a juicy woman in a cow suit can't go out and live for a day?

We even have the same name.

But for the record, I have not done any of these things. (Or at least no one can prove that I did any of these things.)

So, I'm at the gas station Wednesday after work buying gas.

As you know, gas is more than $3-something a gallon everywhere.

I'm in line behind this woman who apparently has her priorities straight, and I'm annoyed.

She is talking to the guy with her, telling him how the tank is empty.

The woman tells the cashier, "Five in gas and a pack of Newports."

Come again?

The clerk asks her if she's sure, she says, "Yeah," and turns to her friend to tell him how badly she needs the Newports.

So, she put a whopping $5 in the tank, and paid almost $5 for a pack of smokes.

Maybe she doesn't have to worry about driving to work.

Or running errands. . . or driving anywhere at all. . .

Maybe it's just me.

I know, I should have told you guys.

But the love is new, and I don't want to jinx it.

I love. . . my cycling instructor. Her name is Angie.

My other gym buddy, Jess, had told me how special Angie was as a teacher. I didn't know that she rocked until I took her class last week.

She's the only cycling instructor I've never wanted to harm.

She was funny and motivating, and had great songs.

For the first time, I was not wishing for class to be over. I did not pray to God to make time move faster to get me finished with the torture, I mean, fun, of cycling class.

In short, I love her.

Can someone tell me why all the foods that I like to eat are on the "bad, evil foods" lists?

I mean, every time I find something healthy - something that doesn't taste like sandpaper, and that is better than say, french fries covered with cheese, bacon and green onions, dipped in ranch dressing, someone one says it too, is bad for me.

Mmmmm. . . bacon. . . (Sorry, I needed to have a bacon moment.)

In this story, there's more of my favorite "healthy foods" that are no so healthy.

Damn. Damn. Damn.

Bagels with cream cheese - 700 calories?

What about reduced-fat cream cheese, or diet bagels?

That's a lot of frigging calories. Seriously.

And granola bars are good. Really good.

They keep me from chewing off my own hand around 4 p.m., when I'm starving and just getting off work and the temptation to go to McDonald's and get many, many cheeseburgers is almost overwhelming, but I resist -- thanks to that granola bar.

Oh well. I knew those foods were too good to be true.

Here's a list of healthy, yes, real healthy,items available at your local grocery store.

Saturday Night Live is at it again.

In the opening of its fourth show this season, the late-night comedy skit show parodied Gov. Sarah Palin again, but also poked fun at Sen. Joe Biden in an opening skit that mocked the recent debate between the two vice presidential candidates.

Taking the moderator's position, one of my favorites, Queen Latifah, joined the parody playing Gwen Ifill.

Here's the skit for your viewing pleasure:

I love Queen Latifah's hair. It's dead on as Ifill's troubled do. And the guy who played Biden rocked.

Any thoughts on the parody?

Imagine a diet where you actually could enjoy food again.

No starving.

No deprivation.

No binging on a bad of Chips A'hoy cookies because you haven't had sugar in weeks.

Maybe that's only me.

Anywho, some new diet trends are emerging that talk about eating better, and not starving, as a weight-loss solution.

In this story, nutrition experts and dieters talk about eating healthy to lose weight, but not waging an all-out war against food.

Amy Winehouse talked about herself recently, saying, "I'm a mess."

I know, it's earth-shattering stuff.

Winehouse, whose husband is in jail because he refused to go to drug rehab and who has been said to have a drug problem herself, has been circling the drain for at least the last year.

The talented British singer who brought U.S. the fab song, "Rehab" has since become a poster child for the need for a person to go to drug and alcohol rehab.

Sad stuff, folks.

Can we get Whitney Houston to do an intervention?

This commercial is so cute. It's from the MasterCard, 'priceless' series, to the sounds of Parliment's "Give up the funk (Tear the roof off this sucker)":

Get down, buddies.

Here's the video on YouTube, done Parliment-style. The song is from the album, "Mothership Connection."

Yes, this is a ringtone on my phone.

"We went the funk, give us the funk. . . ."

Have a happy, funk-fllled Monday.

She's baaaaaaack!

Viewers on both political sides enjoyed Tina Fey's spoof of Republican Veep candidate Sarah Palin, and Tina Fey was back for an encore on Saturday's show.

In this opening sketch, Fey's Palin is being interviewed by Katie Couric for CBS News.

What do you think? Was this one as funny as the last one?

To see the original spoof again, click here.

The 'SNL' crew also made fun of the first debate between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama.

Thursday was one of those days at work.

Amen, brother. I feel your pain, but my computer was not the source of my frustration.

Thursday was a day of working with difficult co-workers who get on my nerves, and those for which I know the feeling is mutual.

(In my office, my co-workers would probably tell you that I'm that difficult co-worker. I've embraced my inner bitch, so I'm OK with that assessment.)

Anywho, Thursday was stressful - to say the least - and I really needed to do something to let it go.

Enter my newest gym buddy, Jess, and more than an hour of cycling class. (We're working together to fight the fat! Check out her blog.)

Yes, you read that correctly. I biked for more than an hour Thursday.

And it felt great.

As some of you may have heard, there's a new '90210' show on the CW.

For those old enough, it's a revamp of an older show, 'Beverly Hills, 90210.'

Anywho, the two lead female stars, Shenae Grimes and Jessica Stroup, have come under fire for being really, really, (did I say really), thin.

Sources from the show note that the two wear sizes that rang from 00 (is that a real size?) to 2.

In this US Weekly cover story, a source said, "I've never seen them eat."

Some say the young starlets are under a lot of pressure because the show was highly-anticipated, and may have lost weight because of it.

My question - if these women are this thin on camera (which supposedly adds 10 pounds), how do they look in real life?

One of Shenae's thighs could be my arm!

Celeb gossip sites also had dogged the tiny girls on 'Gossip Girl' for being too thin, but these twigs make those girls look healthy. (Notice I did not say fat.)

On the Web, other bloggers weighed in on the skinny women.

They are really tiny. Any thoughts on this one, guys?

This clip makes my sister's husband cringe.

It's from my favorite show, "Scrubs," which my sister Regina also loves.

We think this song about a "special kind of love" rocks.

It's "Guy Love," a duet with "Scrubs" doctors J.D. and his BFF, Turk.

Awww. . . doesn't it just warm your heart?

The news media has not been kind to a 'Desperate Housewives' star who wore a sparkly, shimmery mess of a dress to the Emmys.

Eva Longoria Parker and her bow dress has made it on all the worst-dressed Emmy lists.

Do you guys think her dress was that bad?

Ok, she did make one best dressed list.

I found this overall round-up on the frocks and shocks from Tv's big night.

I weighed myself Monday.

It was not a high moment of the day.

274.

Yes, you read that right.

274.

This is the heaviest I've ever been. I wanted to cry and was in a panic.

However, I've got a plan.

So, I can't get this song out of my head, and I was giggling thinking of how much I used to love this video.

This is Whitney Houston's, "How will I know."

Is it just me, or does Whitney seriously need a sandwich?

And don't you just love the random, 80s dancers? Whitney's hair and bow?

This video rocks.

I'm putting this here so this song can be stuck in your head, too.

You're welcome.
