WELL, I simply have to follow up my earlier blog this week about little Jessica and her daily affirmations.

Over the last couple of weeks, ‘Jessica’s Daily Affirmation’ has blown up ‘Ouch Charlie bit me’ style, proving once again that kids have the Midas touch when it comes to instant YouTube fame.

However the video wasn’t actually an instant hit, it was uploaded last June, but after nearly a year Jessica is on her way to becoming the next big YouTube child star.

Yesterday after my super cute post about lil’Jessica and her affirmations in the bathroom mirror, a regular blog reader emailed me privately for the first time.

It was a simple message..

Dear Emily

I can’t think of a better time to watch Jessica than today, tomorrow and every day thereafter...

‘’I like my Alison’s’’....so says little Jessica, the star of this Youtube sensation.

Jessica is just having a good day.....a really REALLY good day.

And why wouldn’t you if you could look in the mirror each day and find so many things to be as happy about as this little munchkin is.

Let’s talk ‘Sex and the City’, cause I saw it Friday night..

AND I won’t ever get that Friday night back.

Being the barren one in my friendship group, I often worry when their kids come over that I have no toys to entertain them during their visit.  And un-entertained children are like rioting soccer hooligans, all angry and yelling while throwing chairs through windows and lighting stuff on fire.

Seriously they are exactly the same right down to the bald heads and no teeth.

But a quick scout around the house and I’m giving the Playland at McDonalds a run for it’s money.

How to keep your 2 year old Godson happy?

1 Mini tramp bought to rehab my knee and used maybe 5 times.

1 Tambourine from my ‘Praise the Lord, Hallelujah’’ days in the church band.

1 Pink guitar, sent to me as a promotional gimmick for Aussie Idol

and 1 childless Godmother singing him the only song she knows all the words too just to keep him entertained before he throws a chair through the sliding door and lights the deck on fire…

Sweet Child O Mine, Guns and Roses...Oh yeah!

Fisher Price can bite me.

A thousand thank yous. To you and you and YOU for helping me with my debate.

As you’ve helped so much I thought I would share it with you.

A bit unorthodox, especially if you were planning to come, but I know some of you don’t live in Brisbane and can’t make it and I wanted to show you guys that I really do value everything you say and share with me.

This is the debate my bloggers built.

Let me know your thoughts, good or bad, what works, what doesn’t and I’ll try to fix it by Saturday.

Then if you can make it to the Comedy Fix, Saturday Night at 6pm at the Suncorp Piazza Southbank, laugh really REALLY loudly..please xox

Husband and I talk about many things, but one thing on the top of our list is pee and poo, namely our dog Libby’s pee and poo.

Internet Friendlies, have I told you lately how smart, amazing and fabulous you are?

Well you are, and I need your help.

I have NEVER been a good dieter.

Mention the word diet and my head will start spinning and the chocolate I just shoved down my throat will come spewing out The Exorcist style.

It hasn’t stopped me trying them all for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes however, I will tell myself that I need to treat myself for being so good dieting for that whole 10 minutes, so I will eat a Tim Tam or 10 and a vicious cycle begins.

It only took till 33 to wise up to myself and now I just try my best to eat as well as I can and walk my dog when the sun is shining.

Sorry boys, this is not a post for you. Unless of course you are looking to win some mega points with your lady and are planning to be her man bag at the movies…

Sex and the City is here, don’t listen to all the bad reviews it has been getting...who cares about the plot, it’s really about the fashion.

Continue reading 'BRISBANE GALS SET TO CELEBRATE ALL THINGS SEX & THE CITY!'

A piece of Celebrity news this week really pulled at my heart strings. It’s not often a celebrity will do something these days that will stop me in my tracks and give me a thirst for more information.

Ditch the workout-join the PARTY!

That catch phrase was enough to suck me in. Seriously guys, I only like working up a sweat if they hand out Tim Tam treats as a reward at the end. Alas I have never found such an oasis of exercise, and so Zumba it is.

It seems like everyone’s on it, into it and doing it. Wiggling it, jiggling it and shaking it. As far as I could tell a Zumba workout was like watching Olivia Newton-John doing Physical ON SPEED.

So of course I HAD to try it.

Clearly wagging is a serious issue, and not something I would normally discuss on this blog.

Let’s face it, I spent my life as a piano playing, speech writing, eisteddfod choir singing, Girls Brigade and church attending, goody two shoes. In fact I’m surprised I made it out of puberty alive and didn’t die of boredom from my own goodness in the process.

But believe it or not, I did wag...ONCE...and it nearly put me in hospital.

Have you tried all your life to NOT be like your mother?

I have.

Don’t get Justin Beiber? Me either, I just want to grab his head and give him a decent haircut...and there I go sounding like a fuddy duddy, book me into a retirement village STAT!

But still his songs are the worst kind of ear worms. If I catch even a chorus of “Baby” I’ll be absent mindedly buying banana’s and singing “Like baby, baby, baby Noooooo”

Well Justin needs to move the hell over for the new kid on the block, Greyson Michael Chance.

If Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber had a baby together this kid would be it.

He is a sixth grader from Oklahoma and a school recital of Gaga’s Paparrazi and posted on YouTube even got the attention of Ellen Degeneres, who invited him on her show.

This instance is just further evidence of the rising power of youtube and the amazing ability of anyone, living anywhere, being able to pursue their dreams.

So, how did Greyson get so talented? Well, he’s been taking piano lessons for three years, but he’s never had a voice lesson before. The kid just put his talent show performance on the popular video site and wall-ah – over 9 million hits. And he even got a call from Lady Gaga herself.

As the teacher emceeing the Edmond’s Sixth Grade Festival says at the end of Greyson’s stunning piano performance, this mega-talented kid could even “teach Lady Gaga a lesson.”

Warning...he may be uber talented...but he needs a haircut too..
