theme party: top that doughnut!

i love a nice theme party and reading about the doughnuts at the nickel diner gave me a great idea – a make your own doughnut (toppings) party! it sounds like it would be best in the fall/winter, as most of the toppings will probably be sticky icky in the summertime. can’t wait! start thinking of good toppings!

while we are talking theme parties – how great is this theme?

anita o'day

fresh air recently replayed an interview from 1987 with jazz singer anita o’day. i went through a big jazz singer phase a few years ago and really liked anita’s music but never knew much about her. she’s pretty interesting and super hilarious in an “old broad” kind of way (she called terry “kid” a lot). i’m excited to see the documentary about her and read her autobiography.

miserable men

instead of listening to miserable men on howard101 (i have standards. who knew?), i spent any non-robin’s news time on a recent roadtrip with just me & sirius listening to all of the awesome old school country stations. just me, merle, waylon and the mountains.
