Was awesomely busy and you know I love that.  Dying to see the movie “Something Borrowed” after talking to Ginnifer Goodwin who is too much fun.  A few days later the gorgeous and talented author of the book, Emily Giffin came in.  I now have a total girl crush on her because of the outfit, her charm and her asian (gay, i think?) assistant.  HOT.  See the full photo gallery here and the interview with video will be posted next week.  Now I really have to read her books, I hear they are awesome.

On Friday I invited a bunch of girls to hang out in the studio.  This was beyond fun and I loved them all!!  Thanks to Intimacy, Stella And Dot, Woo Cosmetics and Sun In My Belly for providing goodies for the gals.  The best part was how none of them knew each other and they all came away friends.  I feel like I made new friends too.

This weekend I’m chilling in preparation for my annual girls trip which starts on Wednesday.  8 of us go somewhere every year and the girls come from all over Portland, OR, North Carolina, Minneapolis, Boston and Alpharetta.  This year we are going (again) so Sea Grove, Florida (near Seaside).  SO excited for this you have no idea.

Tonight I’m planning on torturing Mike by watching the Lady Gaga concert on HBO tonight instead of going out.  And while we’re talking about GAGA I’m so not feeling the Judas video.  I was ALMOST over her until I then saw her on Oprah performing my new favorite song “You And I”.  This performance is SO Elton John and I’m kind of obsessing over it.  I wish she would stick to stuff like this instead of lame dance videos that are kinda obvious.  This is the reason why I am a little monster.  Watch it soon before Harpo takes it down:

On Radio Free Lunch I try really hard to stay topical, interesting and in the moment of what people are thinking.  Hearing the news of Osama Bin Laden being dead was shocking, exciting and history in the making.  All morning yesterday I was trying to come up with a Radio Free Lunch around it and it just didn’t feel right.  I can totally understand why people were celebrating—hey I was happy too!  It just felt strange to do an hour of goofiness (Radio Free Lunch) around death (him and the innocent).  Believe me, I tried to come up with so many different spins on the situation (songs that mention dead! revenge! justice!) but the images and horror of 9/11 kept running through my head.  There is no doubt this was incredible news. Reading about what went into this mission, wow!  But beating my chest with an “America is great!”  on RFL just felt, well, not right.  So, I stuck with my gut and went with what I originally planned.  So there it is.

Hello, hello!  This weekend we spent enjoying the amazing weather.  Charlie and I had some major bonding time which was great.  We did everything from soccer to seeing his summer camp to lunch at Yeah! Burger and pretty much tooling around town.  While we are on the topic of burgers, what is up with the burger craze?  I know I’ve talked about this before but it seems like a new one opens every week.  My new favorite is Grindhouse Killer Burgers on Piedmont.  The veggie burger was off the charts amazing.  Normally I favor the one at the Righteous Room but this one just killed me.  I seriously haven’t stopped talking about it since I’ve tried it!!  Nerd.

I’m still recovering from seeing Lady Gaga Monday night.  It was a GREAT show but I didn’t think it was as good as the one 2 years ago at the Fox.  Nevertheless, we had a ball.  My co-worker Liz Bradley posted a fabulous picture gallery with some of my random iphotos from the night.  You can see them here.

This shot is from Getty images and it’s part of the linked slide show.  This guy was sorta channeling this look:

Earlier in the day I got to interview the fabulously funny Kristen Wiig and Wendi McClendon-Covey.  Kristen is everything you want her to be–funny, nice and down to earth.  Wendi was the same way, just as nice and funny as it gets.  Her part in Bridesmaids is hilarious.   I can’t wait for you to see the movie.  Until then, here is the slideshow from the interview.  We will post the video May 11th, Bridesmaids comes out May 13th.

Today we tried to snag an interview with Sherri Sheppard (the View, 30 Rock) as she was the host of the “Dove Awards” which were taped Wednesday night at the Fox Theater.  We spotted some Christian celebs like Kim Fields (Tootie) Kevin Sorbo (Hercules), Reuben Studdard (American Idol winner) and other people who we didn’t know.  The funniest part was people taking pics with football player Tim Tebow’s seat card.  Um, OK.  The good news is that we did in fact meet Sherri and she was nice as could be.  Unfortunately she wouldn’t pose for a pic since she said she wasn’t in hair and make up.  I get that—but she still looked SO great and was SOOOOOO nice.  Love her on 30 Rock!!  Ham!!!  The Dove Awards are on GMC TV Sunday night at 7PM .

 
Speaking of looking great—now I need to go Kathie Lee on you.  I just got Charlie’s school picture and I’m dying over it.  Tell me this doesn’t look like a JC Penney ad??????  He’s so grown up!!!!!!  Can’t even stand it……

Here are my two favorite monsters Charlie and Fred from last week’s Spring Break:

Watching these two hang together is hilarious—and it makes it easier to be on vacation.  Since Fred is 6 (on right) the two of them entertain each other all day.  Because of this I was able to listen to tons of Howard Stern and read Tina Fey’s new book “Bossypants”.  If you even remotely like Tina get this book, it’s so funny!!!  It’s really a treat to sit down and read it.

This week we had a great time with Fitz And The Tantrums.

I absolutely LOVE this band and they were terrific live.   The only problem was the venue because there were no seats and it was super crowded.  This is mainly MY problem since I’m a cranky concert goer—but it was worth it.  Speaking of concerts tomorrow night is GAGA and we are so excited!!  We bought the tickets a year ago and I can’t believe it’s finally here.  Before the show the great Kristin Wiig is coming to the Dave studios!!  How cool is that???  She is promoting the new movie “Bridesmaids” which she wrote and stars in.  Elizabeth and I saw it this week and it’s super cute.  Perfect girls night out movie and several scenes with Jon Hamm in bed which pretty much closes the deal  Here’s the trailer:

It opens May 13th.

It’s almost spring break (for Charlie at least) so I’ll be taking some time off from work.  Before then it’s Dave-FM’s Earth Day Birthday at Verizon Wireless Ampitheater.  Thankfully the weather is looking GREAT so it should be a fantastic night. Also, congrats to Richard Blais who won Top Chef!!  He is such a cool guy and totally worked hard for it. Did you watch Andy Cohen’s after show??  OMG was it me or was Mike totally drunk?  And Padma is NOT made for live TV.  Yikes!! Have a great weekend—and if you don’t hear from me in a while it’s because I’ll be trying to have a digital cleanse (yeah right) during my week off .  We’ll see……

Could this be any cuter?  Looking at this photo makes me almost forget being woken up at the crack of dawn to a whining dog.  Charlie just looooooooves Brogie and so do I (Mike, well, um, don’t tell him she’s on the couch ).  What I love is that they are the same age growing up together.  I’m already thinking about how different it’ll be 15 years from now and it’s making me a lil’ misty.  Moving on.

The highlight of the weekend was definitely getting to meet JOAN RIVERS.  She was so lovely, personable and warm.  I just freaking love her.  The show at Symphony Hall was hilarious and she is a true legend.  It doesn’t look like she’s thrilled to be posing with me here but I promise, she was beyond nice.

Elizabeth and I both told by Joan to “stand up straight” for the picture.  How much do I love that?  It was more like meeting one of my moms friends than a legendary comedian.  Just amazing!!
