Sunday in Miami

Sunday in Miami during this time of year is fabulous...not....we live with the threat of hurricanes and if there are no hurricanes its thunderstorms. But you know what the rest of the year its hot and bright. It is better then Earthquakes. Today we woke up to some pretty yucky weather lots of wind and rain. But you know what we are fortunate we were dry and safe. Except for someone who decided they had to walk the dog in the middle of Gustav's winds.

Detailed Forecast

Rest Of Today: becoming partly sunny. Breezy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 80s. Southeast winds 15 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 70 percent.

Tonight: partly cloudy with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. Breezy. Lows in the lower 80s. East winds 15 to 20 mph decreasing to 5 to 10 mph after midnight. Chance of rain 30 percent.

Right now its cloudy and 84 degrees.

The plans for today are to go to Marty's place and have Thai! Yee pee! I so love Thai food. That will be fun because everyone is going including Nick. So it should be interesting and I am so sure that at some point in the visit football will be on tv and I wonder if the famous subject(s) of Godfather or Star Wars will be mentioned? Lets see

Stay tune

Good Morning Saturday!

Well hello everyone! Here I am on a nice Saturday writing these updates. Ok lets get right to it, Big Brother when last we left Jerryattic won Head of Household and he had not made his nominations. Jerry has made his choice he has nominated Dan and Keesha and his target is Dan. Jerry is just so upset at how Dan has been (after all Dan has been playing the game). NO real surprise there it would of been a surprise had Dan not gone up. The Power of Veto was already done but so far no reveal has been released as to who won POV. I think you know I will try to continue to find out. It will be revealed its just that the competition was done in the wee hours of the night/morning so they are sleeping. Those in dorks,...don't they know inquiring minds want to know! Once I learn I will post it (not sure when I will post it but you know I will).

Edit: This just in Memphis won POV and his plan is to use the POV and remove Dan from the chopping blocking leaving no choice but Renny going up. Then the plan between Dan and Memphis is to vote out Renny. So it appears that one of my favorites will be leaving. (Yeah I am a wee bit sadden).

Picture above is: Dan, Marty, Paul, Dennis
Dad came with his little friend Sarge yesterday and I am already so attached to Sarge. He is the cutest and sweetest! He has a character and its so special. He has a way of eating which is the food is placed in his bowl, he comes over and looks at it and looks at dad with this yeah so what. Dad takes it and places some on a spoon and gives it to him then Sarge will take some and dad directs him to the bowl. Sarge looks at the bowl and looks at dad and steps back. Ok step 3, dad takes some of the food and puts it in the palm of his hand, Sarge comes over and eats from it and this continues until Sarge has ate his food. It is just a total treat to see. The bond is really nice.
Last night we all stayed in the house and had Chicago styled hot dogs, home made potato salads, Shortys Baked Beans, Shortys cole slaw and 2 bottles of white wine and 1 bottle of red wine. All the boys and I really had a nice time talking and laughing.

Today Dad and Marty went to Shulas 2 (Bar in Miami Lakes owned by Don Shula and son) and they will be watching the Gators game there together (Go Gators!). Edit: Gators won big time.

Tonight we went to http://www.capitalgrill.com/ for dinner to celebrate Dennis' s belated birthday. We certainly do not mind. I had for the first time a White Bordeaux which was fabulous. Some of us took advantage of the Miami Spice Menu. I had a nice Filet Mignon which was so good along with creme brulee. Yum. The boys each had their steak version while one opted for the Salmon, (ever so healthy). The picture above is of the boys and dad at the restaurant. The top picture if Sarge.
Cuurently the weather in Miami is 81 and light rain. There is no sun out right now and occassional light showers.

Detailed Forecast

Today: considerably cloudy then becoming mostly cloudy. Breezy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, then widespread showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 80s. East winds 10 to 15 mph becoming 15 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 80 percent. Tonight: mostly cloudy with numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms. Windy. Locally heavy rainfall possible. Very warm lows in the lower 80s. East winds 15 to 20 mph becoming 20 mph after midnight. Chance of rain 70 percent.

Stay tune for further developments

Buh Bye But is it game over?

Ok good news and bad news! Good news is that on Big Brother Michelle is gone gone gone. She looked like a total fool. She was voted out and in her interview she mentioned how she suspects Dan is a "plant" and she is no fool. Well Julie Chen told her look you have said he is a plant and she goes oh yeah and Julie said I am here to tell you no she is not a plant you are here because you were really nominated and voted out. Oh her face was like blank well ah ah ah he is weird. Then she mentions another brillant statement. Since she knows its double eviction and there is someone else leaving she is "Positive" that it will be Dan she goes "no doubt about it Ollie will make sure he is gone" Well the girl best not go to Vegas because she will lose big time because the next person who won HOH was Keesha and Keesha nominated Ollie and Jerry and Dan won POV and kept the nominations the same. Well the vote down and in a vote of 3-0 OLLIE you are so gone! Buh Bye Ollie! So Michelle lost her "no doubt about it" statement making herself look like not just one but a double LOSER! Yeah it was good.

Now bad...Well since this was what was called BB Fast Forward they played a week's worth of competition. SO a new HOH competition was played and Jerry aka Jerryatic won. Yeah this is not good for the remaining 4 who were planning on being the final 4. So now the big mystery is who will Jerry place up for nomination? One needs to stay tune because well its not done yet. He has problems with all of them. If I was to guess who he will put up it is going to be Dan and maybe Renny. Oh but of all things to happen Jerry! Why or why! Oh but this is a game and anything can happen and it does.

So stay tune folks...

So close ... The Weekend Long!

Oh the long weekend is almost here and my very favorite father in law arrives tomorrow so I am way excited! Dad is bringing his new live in friend. Now before you jump to conclusion the new live in friend is named Sarge, you see Sarge is a doggie.

It is kind of hard to see Sarge's face but I am sure I will have more chances to take more pictures. From what I am told Sarge has a character and dad has already started spoiling the latest member of the family. Now Paradise and Max are just going to love Sarge -----NOT! But so what you know what they say Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

Tonight is Eviction night in the Big Brother house! Those silly houseguests think its just one going to the jury house (ha ha ha those silly kids) they have not figured out before the hour is over a 2nd will leave. Of course Jerry (aka Jerryatic) and Michelle (Manchelle) are on the block and so far Michelle should be the one leaving. But Michelle and Ollie have been campaigning very hard and what is very noticable is that Jerry has done zero campaigning. Some of the HGs are wondering why he has not campaigned or asked for their vote. Ok HELLO the man is old but not totally senile he was there for the blow up he knows to move back and let you all fight it out. Somehow they have not come up to that answer...Yeah some of the HGs in there are "special".

I will try to update over the long weekend but because of our HGs I may not be able to so if you cannot wait to find out who was evicted go to www.cbs.com/primetime/big_brother or better yet go to scoop central at http://www.mortystv.com/big_brother.shtml

In other local developing news it appears Hanna is coming to visit Florida. Tropical Depression #8, which formed in the Caribbean Sea Thursday morning, is now Tropical Storm Hanna.
Hanna is moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph. A turn toward the northwest is expected later today. On the forecast track, the storm will move away from the northern Leeward Islands and be centered well to the northeast of the Bahamas during the next couple of days.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 50 miles from the center.

You know folks this time of the season its almost never a dull moment. I am very fortunate that I live in a well secure home with strong built in accordian shutters. Once closed we are so safe. There is something nice to be said about that. But it leaves me wondering if I lose power how in the world am I going to A) catch up on my soaps B) Catch up on BB News? C) Catch up on the comings and goings of celebrities! Oh this also reminds me I need get my water jugs refilled.

Stay tune folks!

Almost time

Today is Wednesday and if its Wednesday its Elks Meeting night. These are the busy times of Elkdom for me since the Charity Ball is Oct 18 and I am totally freaking out thinking no one will show up and no one will donate and we will all close down because of my in ability to raise money. Yeah but I am a positive person so I have faith.

In other news I was very disappointed in Big Brother last night. Why? Well I thought they would air more of the big blow up! OMG one of the biggest explosions to happen and they barely show any of it all they showed of Ollie was his movements of throwing stuff around. I know that CBS cannot air cuss words yes I know that but bleep it out or blur it like in the past. So if you want to see any of the fights I advise with no bleeps I recommend you go to www.youtube.com and type in BB10 Ollie, sort by today or this week and catch the latest and greatest. So last nights feeds did have a rather funny conversation Michelle (AKA Manchelle), and Ollie were having. Michelle is convinced that Dan is a plant by CBS and that the person Monica he saids is his girlfriend is really a CBS employee. She is positive that the reason she is now on the nomination block is because she was close to discovering everything and she wonders how the others in the house can be so stupid as to not figure this out. I can't wait till the show is over and she learns how stupid she really is.
Tomorrow is double eviction I cannot wait for a) Manchelle to get booted out and B) hope Ollie or Jerry follows.

Oh word on the street is that Ollie will have a consequences over his breaking of CBS property.

Explosion

Ok if you never saw Big Brother you do not know what you are missing. Last night I managed to catch on the Live Feeds the start of the big daddy of fights. It was great! It was loud it was bordering physical and all by none other then the Preacher Boy's son. Yeah the guy who prior to going in there said oh I am a good Christian boy I don't drink or swear. Thats right he only had nightly sex romps with the boobsie blonde and well last night his mouth did the talking. Oh yeah he sure did it talking and cursing. Oh even for people that do curse he was going full throttle. You see he seemed to think he was Head of Household and he thought he was secretly controlling all the shots and well last night he learned he was not calling any shots and in fact there was a plan to get his new best buddy Manchelle ops I mean Michelle out of the house. He just got angered at that. He yelled at everyone including the guy who used his POV to save himself from being on the nomination block. Imagine that he Memphis saved himself? Oh rude is that? Then he could not figure out why the others were not mad too. He went up to Keesha and said ok you were suppose to go up he lied can't you see that. Keesha looked at him and said so if you had your way I would be on the chopping block and going home and he goes "yes" and she goes NO sorry I am NOT mad I am ok with it. I think it was the anger that did not let him think straight he must of been in another realm. Needless to say this Thursday will be a Double Eviction but the Houseguests do not know that they only think one will be leaving but before the hour is up another will leave. Hope Ollie (Preacher's son). Thursday should be good!!!!

Ok stay tune and watch the fireworks!

Two Couples Will Be Eliminated During the First Week of Competition!!!!!!!!!

For the first time ever, all thirteen teams must prepare two routines for the first week of competition, one of which they'll perform on Monday night. The judges will score the performances on Monday while the viewers cast their votes for their favorites. Only twelve will have the chance to showcase their second dance on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 (9:00-10:0 p.m., ET). In dramatic style on Tuesday's show, one couple will be eliminated as the remaining contestants perform their second dance of the season. The judges will score the dances on Tuesday and the viewers will once again cast their votes before a second duo is dismissed WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET).

You may wonder ok Lola who are you going for? Well those that know me will know of course Susan Lucci hello All My Children star! AH Yeah. But I also suspect Misty May Treanor will be one of the top contenders after all she just came back from the Olympics where she won the Gold in Vollyball. Lots of physical activity and used to jumping..Of course she was jumping on the sand...The others well we will see how the weeks go.
