Random Tuesday


I recently had a celebrity sighting in my neighborhood--

Katie Holmes and her 4 year old daughter Suri Cruise at the fabric store near my house. (You can see the photos here if you want.) The store was practically empty and I had no idea who the woman was carrying around her very well-behaved daughter. We were the only customers in "cottons" section of the store and sort of dancing around each other to look at the fabric in the small space. It was their very loud publicist/person carrying Katie's huge monogrammed Louis Vuitton bag that tipped me off when she kept telling the salesperson that KATIE and SURI will let her know how much fabric...KATIE and SURI will this.... and KATIE and SURI that... You get the idea. She was talking very loud. Their big security guy was rolling his eyes. Oh and no, Suri was not wearing high heels and neither were decked out in designer clothes. They were just happy looking for some fabric together. Outside were about 15 paparazzi stalking/waiting for them. Ugh.

Thanks to Chris at Diet Coke Rocks who passed the A Sweet Blog Award on to me! How nice is that! Tammy is very creative, a busy mom, and has a fab sense of humor. Please stop by and say hello. I pass this Award on to all of you! Feel free to grab the button cuz I think you're all sweet.

Did you know you have until July 1st to hit indoor tanning beds and NOT be charged an additional 10% tax as part of healthcare reform and the new Patient Protection Act? So time's a wasting to save some loot and get your summer tan ready-- If that's your thing. Me, not so much. I prefer the spray tan because the humiliation of standing naked in front of a usually much younger and much thinner woman spraying my middle-aged bod from head to toe is a great diet incentive.

  4. In my "former life", I worked with celebrities on a regular basis. My biggest thrill, however, was not with a client...it was riding in the elevator with Muhammad Ali...what a presence! OX

  10. Easy to do chick... while we CAN multi-task rather well... I think blogging and talking on the phone is one of the harder ones to do! LOL
    Eh... same with reading the paper and talking of the phone, you can end up saying some weird things to the person on the phone that you were reading!
    ONWARD... have a great weekend.

  12. I think it is nice that you got to see Katie and Suri but what I like the most is how you noticed how well behaved she was.....good news hardly is repeated. Too bad the adults with them wouldn't grow up and show some respect.
    Never did like tanning beds and the news says they are as bad for the skin as smoking is for the lungs.....:-)Hugs

  13. I'm totally curious...does the little girl walk? I never see her walking, only being carried. She's four years old!!!!!

    What? Is Kate going to sew?

    I'm sure it was a sight to see...the publicist and the bodyguard. What a life!

  14. I agree with the previous commenter. What I wonder about, is WHY is that little girl always being carried. She´s 4 and can walk.

    I guess this post decided to publish late or was it just late on my reader? Because the date says May 25.

    But it was interesting anyway. :)

  15. I always wonder why she is carring her. Isn't she 3 or something?

  16. What a funny thing to come across! Once Marlon Brando yelled at me for making too much noise in a hotel hallway. That's all I've got.

  17. that surprises me she sews or they shop for such menial items as material. Guess they are just folks like everyone else.

  18. Congrats on the well deserved award! As for celebrities...I haven't a clue.

  19. Congratulations on your blog award.
    Sounds like your shopping trip was quite the adventure. I would consider it interesting once, perhaps, so shop elbow to elbow with a celeb, but not regularly!
