A Few Random Oprah Thoughts


As I sit here and watch today's TiVo'd Oprah, I am coming across with a few thoughts. Today was her Fridays Live show in which she talks about several different topics. Here are my thoughts about some of today's topics:








  • Her first guests were Sarah and Bristol Palin.Unless, you have been under a rock, you know that Bristol had a baby when she was a teenager. Oprah questioned Bristol about a statement that she made in US magazine, about not having sex again until she gets married. During the interview, Oprah asked her why she would made such a statement, since the media is going to watching and waiting for her to fail. I felt that Bristol could not really explain herself and her mother was not much help in explaining either. I have seen comments on Oprah.com with people being upset that Oprah asked the question. My opinion is that if you are in the media light and are doing interviews, you need to be ready for questions that are asked or be able to explain statements that you have made. Furthermore, why do we care if Bristol has sex again or not? I think that Oprah was just asking the question because she did not want the young lady to set her self up for failure and let's be real we are nosy and we all want to know what is going on in reality stars lives. Oprah did not say she would not be true to her word, she was just asking how she was going to guarantee it. I do not know why some people are upset about the question since no one gets upset when Oprah asks murderers why they kill or why people use drugs or any other question that she ask guest. There are some many other interesting things and people to talk about besides the Palins. I wish that we would leave this family alone and move on to something else. 
  • Oprah also talked about a show that aired earlier this week talking about driving and texting. You can click here to see the whole show. Today she had viewers reactions to the show. I must admit I did find the show informative and interesting. It was interesting to learn that when you text and drive you are more impaired than a drunk driver. I do talk on my phone with my bluetooth when I am driving. I am seduced by my Blackberry when the red light is blinking and I want to know what was uploaded or who is sending me something. Since the show I have been working on not talking on the phone or checking it unless I am at a stoplight. I am not a total convert yet, but I am working on it. 
I really like Oprah and I am going to miss her show when she goes off the air. Maybe she will not go totally away and start her own network..... O Tv sounds good.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Wife +Sick Hubby =Medical Degree

I posted  last week about my husband being sick. Even though he is feeling better, he went to his doctor to make sure everything was OK. His doctor in-turn referred him to a specialist, to make sure as well. When I asked him what was the specialist going to do, he said " I do not know. Probably just check me out."  That did not sit well with me, so I decided that I needed to attend the appointment with him. We attended the appointment. He signed in at the front desk and the receptionist asked for the paperwork sent. He of course looked at me......especially since I was the one who fill out the paperwork. I am not sure why I filled out his paperwork, probably because he asked me to, but I never have him fill out my medical paperwork. I digress. We were escorted back to the exam room. The nurse was really nice. As she began to ask for some of the medical information, I found myself answering more of the questions than he was. Maybe I should have been quiet. The doctor eventua...
