It’s good to be back (kinda)!! Today’s Radio Free Lunch is inspired by the marathon final match at Wimbledon Sunday.
Roger Federer won and now claims the title of the most Grand Slam victories (15!). In honor of this, the lunch set is going to feature “tennis terms” in music titles. Anything that mentions love, game, set, net or ball will work. I also want to give a shout out to the Dave-FM corporate tennis league. They’re playing tonight at Piedmont Park so check em out!!!

I don’t want to bore you with 4th of July vacation details (swimming with the kids, beach, parades, blah, blah, blah) but it has come to my attention that there are some celebrities on the island. Miley Cyrus is here which is not surprising since she’s filming a movie nearby. I told an 11 year old on a shuttle about this and she quickly said ”MILEY CYRUS IS HERE?!?!?! OMG, that is like the coolest thing—like ever”. Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are also around and I was alerted to this by my father in law. I cracked up when he said “Tony Roma checked in last night!”…and I said “the place for ribs, I love it there!”. Then we figured out it was ROMO and he is here with Jessica Simpson. I want to spot JS to witness one of her amazing outfits.
This gem is from this week’s AT&T National golf tournament in Bethesda, Md.

Hi from St. Simons again…..It is soooo relaxing here and the weather has been beautiful. The gambling cruise that I spoke of in an earlier post was fun until the last two hours. We felt like prisoners when you couldn’t get off the boat (ahhh!). The f0od was also very prison like (mmmmm canned corn). Whatever, I got to play black jack (and lost). We did have great food at one of our favorite places off St. Simon’s Island (in Bruswick) at Cargo. If you ever are here I highly recommend going. The rest of the family is arriving today so there will be plenty of hot dogs, american flags and kids fighting over toys. Good times!! Happy 4th!!!!

While Charlie was in day camp today I had some peace and quiet. It’s nice being together at the pool but let’s face it— being able to read In Style Magazine in a lounge chair is pure luxury. Meanwhile, I’m glad he was with other kids because the pool had a Caddyshack “incident” forcing them to temporarily shut it down. Hilarious and gross.
Tonight we’re going on a gambling boat called the Emerald Princess which has an interesting reputation. Of course I could care less as long as there’s live black jack. We are taking all of our cameras so hopefully I can capture some magic and post it here

We’re here with Mike’s parents (they live here) and it’s just beautiful. Today I got the chance to work out in the AM and hung out at the pool with Charlie (like you care). Until I find something more exciting to blog about, check out a fun event with Yacht Rock tomorrow night. I LOVE this band and they will be playing a big party for me coming soon (stay tuned for that!!).
Miss you. Not really.
Here’s the info:
Come Aboard!
Please Rock the Yacht gives you the opportunity to check out some of the band’s many talented aliases. Listen to new tracks off Y.O.U.’s original indie-rock album, new comedy clips from Three Dog Stevens’ webisodes, and some live tracks of Yacht Rock Revue performing the smoothest songs from the 1970s and 1980s.
This is a free event with complementary food, yachty cocktails, amazing giveaways and music you don’t want to miss. You will even have the chance to win The Yacht Rock Cruise Pass, which grants free admission to every Yacht Rock at the 10 High for the rest of the year! So spread the word, because all are welcome!

This is late, but I finally finished the ABC season finales of “Brothers And Sisters” and “Private Practice”. On B&S—what a waste!! Enough with the illegitimate kids already! And Tommy in Mexico? They should have killed him off. PP on the other hand had an AWESOME finish with one of the best cliffhangers ever. Ugly Betty was amazing and is probably the best of all the ABC shows. Don’t get me started on LOST. The finale was great but this season was a little on the lame-O side.
Over on Bravo the Real Housewives rock. I don’t care where they are from, I’ll be watching. New Jersey was awesome, especially the reunion show. Dina and Caroline are my faves. I know she brings the drama, but get Danielle off this show. The Atlanta girls start back up July 30th and I can’t wait. Have you checked out NYC Prep? Where do they find these people? Loving it. I’m not sure I’m feeling this new “Top Chef Masters” show. It’s more fun watching the amateurs than the pros and the new Padma is awful. Kathy Griffin’s D List is pretty good too and the episode with Paula Deen was absolutely hilarious.
TV Land has a great show this summer called “She’s Got The Look”. If you love America’s Next Top Model this is the version for the over 35. Some of the girls are crazy so of course I love it. On HBO True Blood is all the rage this summer so I’m trying to jump into season 2. The first episode was pretty cool (sex! blood! vampires!) so I totally get why people love it. The new season of Entourage is coming on soon and a new show called “Hung” which is about a male prostitute. In!!
Since there are very few shows Mike and I can watch together we have been tearing through season 1 of Mad Man on DVD (thx Allise!). O-M-G that show is amazing and we can’t get enough. We have about 4 ep’s left so don’t tell me what happens.
I want to catch up with season 2 so I can be ready for the new season in August. We also love Weeds but we don’t have Showtime so I am about to get season 4 for our trip tomorrow. LOVE that show. What shows are you watching? Or do I just need to read a book? Why bother!
