Celebrity Spotting
Posted by Barbara Vey on May 8, 2008
I recently told you about my niece who won a trip to see the filming of American Idol from a local radio station. Well, she took her sister and just got back. After talking with her, it was obvious that the most exciting part for her was the celebrity spotting. Their first sighting was Pete Wentz of the band Fall Out Boy (I have absolutely never heard of this man ...Read More Guest Blogging at Beyond Her Book up for Grabs

Lisa Ling: Investigative Reporter, Not Charlie's Angel
Posted by Barbara Vey on May 6, 2008
![]() Last night I saw Lisa Ling, investigative reporter for the National Geographic Channel and Oprah. She was part of the Smart Talk Women's Series and the first thing she'll tell you is that yes, she plans on reading Barbara Walters new book, she loved working on The View and no, she has never been one of Charlie's Angels. But what she has done is nothing short of amazing. Lisa started her career at age 16 when she snagged a hosting role on "Scratch," a teen magazine show. She went on to become a reporter...Read More This, that and the other thing Monday

Posted by Barbara Vey on May 2, 2008
![]() Before we get started on Your Turn Friday, I though I'd mention that we have now moved into the month of May, the 5th month of the year. In 5 more months stores will have up their Christmas decorations and I haven't even had a chance to wear my sandals yet! Is it just me or are the years flying by at an alarming rate. It used to take forever for my birthday to arrive and now it slaps me in the face when I'm not looking. I always have to stop and ponder how old I am. And to think, on my 20th birthday I was already saying "I'm almost 21." The almost days are long over. ...Read More Wednesday Book Blurbs

![]() After all the nonstop action of the last couple of weeks, I was looking forward to a little down time. Sunday was supposed to be spent in jammies surrounded by the dozens of new books I collected at the conferences I'd been to. But my son called, so I dropped everything to help him out. Now, don't go thinking the worst. Andrew called to say that he just found out Best Buy had a shipment of Wii's in and he was on his way to get one. The next thing I knew, I was at his place to help him break it in. I am not a video game player. Everything always moves too fast for me and all the buttons on the controllers give me a migraine. Andrew assured me I could handle it, yet I...Read More This, that and the other thing

I'm starting off Mondays with pictures of baseball players, so when I Googled "hot baseball players" I got a Yahoo question from a girl who wanted names and pics of hot players. When this came up for Robinson Cano, I couldn't resist. Well, I'm home for 2 weeks before I head off to the WisRWA conference in Green Bay, WI with my Flip video camera. I'm still downloading videos and I'll be posting more from RT and...Read More Laughs, Tears and a Mini Vibrator
