I hope you all enjoy this as much as me. As you all know, I too am a car singer. Luckily, my mom has never video taped me singing. At least I don’t think she has.
The vid. is a bit long, but stick with it till the chorus. It’s totally worth it. ![]()

See that bridge? I walked across it. All 12,000 miles of it. Well, maybe just six or so. But, it FELT longer. Anywhoo…I am back to give a full report of the hilarity I saw while walking the big ole’ Mackinac Bridge.
So, remember how my life is completely changing (for the good) and Mr. A and I are completely changing careers, schedules, homes, etc.? Yeahhh…it’s a lot right now. Not to get too personal here on a snark-site, but seriously, I have cried/laughed/cry-laughed/craughed literally HUNDREDS of times this week. Just to give you an idea of the insanity this is my life right now, I am sitting in a van headed to Michigan on a planned family vaca, driving nine hours away from an existence that currently includes leasing two apartments simultaneously (as of yesterday), with new graduate school classes looming next Wednesday, with a husband who is now awaiting Firemen Academy and meeting a gaggle of new brothers next Tuesday. Meanwhile, we will be moving over the next two or three weeks to a different side of town we know nothing about while trying to start the process of applying for a first mortgage and finding a house.
Sighhhhhh…(I’m craughing again)…
So, as this vacation is needed and timely, it is hard to drop everything and run…well…drive.
Anywhoo…here is some snark to finish this post. The Aufschneider gang is headed to that little tip between the “Mich” and the “Igan” parts of the state above. There is a loooooooooooooooooong bridge that connects them and our family will be WALKING ACROSS it come Labor Day. It will be our third year at such event. And, as you know, large events mean only one thing. People to mock.
Just look at what I found last year: see here. I will have camera in hand, and will have a full report.
So I have been saving these picts of the Heigler until I had something good to say. This is her at some benefit looking like somebody’s mom who squished her boobs together in a water bra in order to go “clubbin.” Here are two more beauty shots:
Yeahhh…real good, huh?
Anywhoo…as I glanced over the Internets this morning trying to find motivation to work, I found out about our Kat and her run-in with the law yesterday.
Apparently, she was smoking in public and threw her cigarette butt on the ground…completely disregarding a nearby trashcan. A bike cop peddled over and MADE HER PICK IT UP AND THROW IT AWAY! (Seriously, how great is that?)
From the Star,“the officer told Katherine to pick up the butt and throw it away in the trash, 10 feet away,” the source says. “He added that he’d fine her next time he catches her tossing trash on the sidewalk.”
How great would it have been if this member of LAPD’s finest said, “hey, you know what? I read theMockDock…and I think you suck. Quit taking yourself so seriously.”
A girl can dream, right?
So, the Internets are saying this evening that the two pictured above are back together. Let me back up for all of you know don’t know who this is. These are the two stars of the movie “The Notebook,” which is a movie-adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks book.
*Dorky Confession: I am a total girlie girl about Nicholas Sparks books. I have read almost all of them. I turn to mush from these stories. Aw jeeze…I am so going to get made fun of for this.
Anywhoo, the two stars, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams (see above) FELL IN LOVE during the making of this movie. Which is so cheese-alicious that I can’t barely stand it. When I was planning my wedding, I remember that she was on the cover of a bridal magazine. So that tells me that she totally thought things with Ryan-O would take off. But, alas, they broke up. The news today is that things are back on.
And this is where I come in. Good things are happening in my life right now people. My husband got the job of his freaking dreams, I am starting back to get another degree, we are moving which is exciting, and basically everyone in my life has something fabulous going on right now (you know who you are).
So, when I read this story about these two star-crossed lovers, I KNEW that my good-vibes reached to Hollywood-Land. Here’s why: Totally randomly and without reason, I watched the Notebook this weekend. I know that Ryan and Rachel have only ME to thank. My cheesy, giddy, happy-go-luckiness watched the two of them embrace and now they are reaping the benefits. To them, I say, “You’re welcome.”
So this morning I am sitting with my coffee at my desk…thinking about the weekend…and realizing…as usual…what a dork I am…and apparently how much I use ellipses.
ANYwhoo…first off, I have told you before that I weep uncontrollably when celebrities die (see here.) Well, I have been really sad since the deaths of both Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes. *sniff*

Nothing mockable to say here…but seriously…this is way too sad. I also heard today that Isaac and Bernie had recently worked on a movie together that is due out soon. Samuel L. Jackson is in it too. Can you imagine how sad that movie premiere is going to be? Sheesh.
Alright…I’m all weepy again…moving on.
Another main reason that I am such a dork is how excited and obsessed I get about the Olympics. Friday night was the opening ceremonies, and I loved every minute of it. Did you guys watch? It was seriously the coolest thing ever.
Also, I get completely teary-eyed when the Americans march in the Parade of Nations. There is never a more patriotic moment in my opinion. I feel the same way every time someone gets a gold medal and they play our National Anthem. Which, by the way, if you watched when Michael Phelps won his first gold medal, they completely butchered it. The best part was that the NBC camera man quickly shot to President Bush in the audience who mouthed the words, “Well, alright.”
So basically between the celebrity deaths and the Olympic Games starting, I have been a basket case this weekend. What a dork…
Do you guys have “this guy” at your places of employment? The “how you doin’?” guy? Well, for some reason this morning, it is extra annoying to me, so I thought I would post a video that gives you a glimpse into the morning ritual in our little corner of the world. At LEAST 15 times a morning, he yells to people passing down the hall…”HOW YOU DOIN’?”
I swear I might snap soon. First of all, 1997 called, and wants their sitcom quote back. Secondly, how is this even remotely a good greeting to someone? In the show version…as seen above…the joke was obvious. In a real life setting, what is the appropriate response to said question? “Fine.”? “Hi.”? A punch in face?
I am just hoping that this guy will soon move on to a more up-to-date reference. Anybody got a DVD set of “Everybody Loves Raymond” I could borrow?
