  Today is my 2nd day of sitting in for the President’s assistant. I have a feeling (and hope) that today will be even duller than this past Friday. Laurren, the president’s assistant, is in California for about 6 weeks working on her acting career.
This weekend I was pretty lazy, but then again, when has my weekend been exciting lately? I made King Ranch Chicken Casserole yesterday evening and it is pretty good, but it doesn’t beat my Mom’s. Big CONGRATULATIONS go out to JASON & JENNIFER WHITTINGTON, who just got married this past Saturday in Natchitoches, La. New findings from this weekend: there is a device called an Octadog, which turns an ordinary hotdog into an octopus you can eat.
Interesting and just a bit scary as well! (MSRP $16.95) I also discovered a popcorn fork – so you don’t have to worry about getting that pesky butter all over your fingers cause I know that’s always been my biggest problem!! Today’s discovery is: “Snapple Pie” hits store shelves. OK, it’s not an actual pie but an apple pie flavored Snapple drink. It’s only available for a limited time (Oct-Dec 2003) to coincide with apple picking and the holiday season. Do I dare try this one? OK, now onto this whole David Blaine stunt. I can’t figure out why anyone would want to literally starve themselves for, what, 44 days?!? Publicity? Is he just that vain? I don’t know. Now the guy will have to be weaned back onto solid foods.
I mean is that the sort of thing that tickles his fancy? I guess we all know what our own reactions would be to that sort of proposition. You certainly didn’t catch me hanging from a cardboard box suspended 10 feet above the ground behind my Queens apartment building, now did you? Oh, and now for the kicker: There are reports that Prince (yep, the rock star, Prince) has been going from door to door to door sharing his Jehovah’s witness faith in the Minneapolis area. Now if that isn’t strange .
