So did you watch the Screen Actors Guild Awards on TNT last night? I really didn’t catch the whole show, but I did watch most of the red carpet entrances before the ceremony started and caught a few of the acceptance speeches.

I love watching the awards shows mainly to see what Hollywood starlets are wearing. Here are a few of my favorites.

My favorite moment of the night was Meryl Streep’s remark “I didn’t even buy a dress!” when she accepted her award for best female actor win with Doubt. Visit People or ET to see more fashion or who won.

OK ladies I know there are many of you out there with the same problem I had today – the running hose.

As soon as I no more than walked in the office, sat down and checked my e-mail I could feel it. At the back of my left knee a run started and by lunch it looked as if I was wearing fishnets. I guess I should have know because the first pair I tried on this morning already had a run and well as my luck goes with hose.

During the winter I wear pants most of the time or long skirts with tights (men if you’re reading this tights are thicker and stronger and will last forever and hose they’re as thin as rice paper.) In the spring and summer I will go without, but it really depends on where I’m going and what I’m wearing.

My question is are there any hose out there that will last all day and not cost a fortune? Ladies please fill me in on what you like to wear and what lasts. I am happy to get at least three wears out a pair, especially when it feels like you’re throwing money away. Have you tried the spray on hose? Do they work. I’m tired of living in pantyhose hell.

OK, as many of you watched the President take his oath of office today, how many of you were checking out his wife’s attire? I know that’s what I was doing.

Michelle Obama wore a creamy yellow dress and matching overcoat by designer by Cuban-born designer Isabel Toledo. She accessorized the look with a sparkling crystal necklace and green leather gloves and shoes.

I’m not sure how I feel about the dress. Although she looks classy I would have picked another color. So do you think her dress was a success or a failure? Let me know what you think.

If you can think it, there is probably a Web site that exists about it.
Anything and everything you want to know about drugs, sex and rock-n-roll can be found all over the net, but if you are looking for something, lets say a little more unique — I bet it’s out there too.

OK, want to know about dumb laws or moreso dumb criminals dumb criminals then there are several sites devoted to those subjects.

There is also pages devoted to heroic pets.

So happy searching and feel free to share any fun and interesting sights that you know about.

OK, the Madison County Health Department has updated its database of food inspection scores on its Web site. Now not only can you check out the inspection score of your favorite places to eat, but you can actually search by category. If you only want to look up places in Alton, then you can. No longer do you have to look at a long list of places you will never go.

The list also gives the past four scores. So hey, happy searching.

I’m so ready for winter to be over. The past few days I’ve been sick and I hate it. I started off with the sneezes, which lead to the full-blown fever and then congestion in my chest.

I blame it on the yo-yo weather. It’s like nice one day and then freezing the next. I can deal with cold weather, but going back in forth is really not good for anyone. Oh well.

One of the reasons I don’t like being sick is that I don’t like staying in bed all day. although I didn’t get to do much during my days off, did get to enjoy something. I caught up on one the the Showtime programs that I rented from Netflix.

So tell me, besides sleep, what do you do when you’re home sick?

OK, here are a few news stories that may make your blood boil.

* The Chicago Tribune reported on Dec. 31 that the social-networking site, Facebook, has begun removing photos of mothers breastfeeding their babies from the pages of its members, saying that such photos violate its indecency policy, . Facebook says photos of breastfeeding must not expose a woman’s areola, the part of the breast that surrounds the nipple.

In response to Facebook’s decision to remove “obscene” photos, 11,500 people posted shots of nursing mothers on their Web pages last Saturday and a group of mothers picketed corporate headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif. Over 85,000 people have also joined a Facebook group called “Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!”

“We challenge the notion that women’s breasts are dangerous or sexual, especially in the context of breastfeeding,” said Stephanie Muir, organizer of the “virtual nurse-in.”

* CNN recently reported that a Saudi judge refused to annul the marriage of an 8-year-old girl to a 47-year-old man, sparking outrage from women’s rights activists. The judge said the girl must wait “until puberty” before she is allowed the right to petition for a divorce. The girl’s father gave her to the man as a bride in order to settle bad debts. The judge extracted a promise from the husband that he would not consummate the marriage until the girl has reached puberty.

* A group of 20 women in Naples, Italy, staged a “sex strike” to prevent men from launching dangerous fireworks in celebration of the New Year. By withholding sex, the women believed they would prevent injuries and even deaths from fireworks. Their slogan: “Make love, not explosions.”

This past week I took a vacation. I didn’t go anywhere, but I did accomplish one of the things I set out to do, which was organize my closet.

I rearranged it and added more room, with help from my dad of course. I feel great because it’s the one thing I wanted to do during my break.

The best part about my closet venture is that I added much more space for my shoes. What’s funny is I find it much easier to get rid of shoes I no longer wear than clothes. Why is that?

I didn’t get rid of too much stuff, I usually wait to do that in the spring right before I hold a yard sale.

Anyway once spring rolls around I have plans to pull more than out of the closet, but for now it was all about getting organized for the New Year.
