Cancer Horoscope for Today

The building cluster of planets in sympathetic Pisces encourages you to take your emotions even more seriously than usual. However, your fear of rejection might make you feel uncomfortable about sharing your innermost thoughts with others. You want intimacy, but you may not be ready yet for that level of emotional disclosure. Meanwhile, you are eager to grow professionally. Thankfully, concentrating on your career objectives might be a perfect distraction for now.

Sometimes I am baffled by my horoscope, spot. on.

"someone like you" -adele

Yesterday I has the pleasure of attending Adele's "Live at Letterman" performance at the Ed Sullivan Theatre. I have always found Adele to be amazing, but last night she confirmed that for me. I saw Adele at the VH1 Divas concert last year and 'Hometown Glory' was an epic performance. This time she sang songs from her albums "19" and her newest album "21" and WOW. She seriously sings so effortlessly with a voice that will knock you out. I love love her new album and have been in love with her latest single, 'Someone Like You' ever since I heard it.

Here she is singing the single in her beautiful apartment. I just love everything about this woman!

I and Love and You.

I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day. Yesterday was perfection for me. I surprised my bf at work with a chocolate covered strawberry cupcake from our favorite pastry shop, Crumbs, as well as his favorite coffee, large iced hazelnut! I like to think it made his day :) Then he came home with a dozen lovely red roses, hand-picked chocolates and a card so perfect it made me cry. We enjoyed a Valentines dinner at Nino's on the Upper East Side that stuffed us to the brim.

Overall it was a nice night to share together. I am not all in favor of celebrating Valentine's day, it was annoying when I was single and part of me still remembers how I felt then, however, this Valentine's day was special and I very much appreciated the reminder that I am loved. I know I can take this for granted sometimes and I like to think Valentine's day put me in my place--stop your bitching, someone loves you! I need to remind myself of that more often.

Now I will stop with the BS and leave you this song by The Avett Brothers.

Lady Gaga

I have a love/dislike relationship with Lady Gaga. I say love/dislike because I go from seriously loving her work/music/style to not really understanding why she has to do all these crazy showy productions. I never really hate her--thus the dislike. I respect her creativity and total insanity and there is no denying she has a great voice. I just dislike her sometimes. However, in the above video of her w/ Anderson Cooper, I loved her again. I was reminded that Lady Gaga lets it allll out there because she wanted the fame SO BAD. She was so passionate about making it and now that she has, there's not stopping her. I loved how the producers talk about how she is willing to show the world who she is. That is all she wanted after all.

Her performance last night at the 2011 Grammy Awards was strange nonetheless, but good! She looked and sounded fantastic. Like my sister said "she looks more abs and less ribs,"--so true. Her song "Born This Way" has definitely grown on me, although its it reminiscent tho Madonnas "Express Yourself"

FREEDOM FOR EGYPT!

"Voice of Freedom" byAmir Eid - Hany Adel - Hawary On Guitar & Sherif On Keyboards

EGYPT YOU DID IT!!! You stood up against a President who was ruthless, uncivil, stubborn, and unfair and fought until your recieved vicotry. This is huge for Egypt and its people. The power the Egyptian people held has proven that the rrevolution was not a waste of time, it's a cry for change and notion that together we can fight for freedom. You did it Egypt, you are free from Mubarak and his ways. I pray that you all continue to fight for the rights and freedoms you deserve, and don't let anyone tell you its not worth it.

"Fear has been defeated, there is no turning back"
-Anderson Cooper.

FABIO, no not the long haired glamorous one...

Top Chef is one of my favorite shows on TV these days. It's funny, creative, exciting and let's be serious, its all about food...who wouldn't love a show about FOOD. I've especially loved this season because it is comprised of the Top Chef ALL STARS. Some of my favorites have returned (and left again) for the chance to be the TOP CHEF, including Carla, Mike, Rich, Spike, and my all time fave FABIO. Which leads me to the rest of this post.

I have been madly in love with Fabio ever since season 5. The man cracks me up and that is a strong quality for me in a person. The man can cook, he made it to the Top 4 in his season, but sadly he was sent home last night. It was a big heartbreaking seeing that i loved his life but also he was sent home on making a bad burger. I die for a juicy delicious burger! How can the man I love fail at making BURGERS! sadness.

Regardless, I am a fan of Fabio fo' life. I hope he gets his own show because the man is talented and hilarious and I can listen to his Italian American accent all day.

And now I leave you with my TOP 5 reasons why I heart Fabs. (we're on a nickname basis)

1) TOP SCALLOPS MOMENT-Jamie sucks and all she makes is scallops. Fabio agrees.



and other AMAZING quotes such as:

• "I'm 30 years old and I have to sleep in a bunky bed."

• "We could serve monkey ass on an empty clam shell and we would still win." (On his front-of-house prowess)

• "Next time I'm gonna do a piece of toast, bacon and some bulls**t eggs on it, and I'll probably be one of the top three."

• "Go to the hospital? I'd rather chop my finger off and put it on the flat top." (After breaking his finger)

• "I got so many kick in my ass that sometime when I am in the bathroom I poop shoes out of my ass."

2) HE HAS AN E-BOOK CALLED...

Did i Really Make Breakfast ???

holy shit, breakfast is my favorite food EVER.

3) HE HAS LOVE AFFAIRS WITH MALE CONTESTANTS. ie Stefan, Richie...

Love tweet to Richie:

@fabioviviani My Grandma meatball recipes is on your way ;-)) kill em @richardblais i love you Brother !!

4) HE MAKES LIGHT OF GETTING THE BOOT. AND HAS A TURTLE PET.

5) HE'S A GOOD PERSON!

Fabio is currently working on opening the Firenze4Kids Foundation, which will emphasize the promotion of health and wellness for kids through good nutrition and will also launch kidshealthcafe.com, the largest informative resource library available online, designed to enhance a healthy and safe lifestyle for children.

I love this man. May he get his own show!!!

This video instantly put me in a better mood. "Good Life" is such a feel good song and I am in love with OneRepublic.

Enjoy and happy Monday, I guess...

Live Love Laugh Eat

I want this shirt. I don't want to be at work. I am so tired and exhausted. I should be on vacation with my family en route to Egypt. I'm not in the best of moods today.

I would get an iPhone just to get these cases...

For Freedom, for Civility!!

Fight on Egypt! I am so proud of you!!!! I am overwhelmed with emotion as I watch videos like this and others with similar notions. Egypt is coming together as one, Christians, Muslims, men and women, to fight for their rights and for their voice to be heard. The government has too much control of their freedoms and they are finally doing something about it. Although, the revolution has taken a violent turn and many have lost their lives as a result, the country is pushing forward in hopes for a better future. I support you Egypt and am hopeful for progress!
