Hey there everybody!
It’s blog time. Since getting my blog on last, I’ve had a birthday. I am 46 years old. Yep. January 11th, 1962. I suppose it’s surprising for a woman, especially a woman who spent any time in Hollywood, to tell her real age, but hey, I figure, I’ve earned it, all the wisdom and all the wrinkles. Plus, as they say, “black don’t crack”. So, I think I’m looking good for my age. But let me say this, black may not crack, but it just may droop. Bring on the push-up bras.
My co-hosts surprised me with a chocolate man-cake on the show, baked by our very own, Eileen Atkins, Program Manager. My cake had candy nipples, frosted chest hair, and was delivered by a hunky chocolate man! Mama Like! Mama Like!
I flew to L.A. and spent my actual birthday surrounded by wonderful old friends. Well, not that they’re old, it’s just that I’ve known them for a long time. We had a delicious Chinese meal at Ghengis Cohen. Get it? Cohen, instead of Khan. And it felt like my official going away party, which, by the way, I never had. I sat back and watched all my friends, some of whom had never met one another, now making new friends with each other. I knew that even though I left them temporarily for “In The Loop,” they’d all be just fine.
I am still loving the winter and the snow and the cold. But Bill Rancic always tells me that this city truly comes alive when Spring hits. When does Spring come anyway? No matter, I’m rockin’ my turtlenecks, my Ugg boots, and my puffy coat. I guess I can say I love winter because I have been going to L.A. enough to catch some 60 and 70 degree days. With all the miles I am accruing, a free trip to Hawaii can’t be too far off. Now how I can ask my boss for some time off?
