Who is this  crazy man drinking a beer with an afro??

Yes, it's Greg (love the karaoke) Thunder!  Greg had a little get together on Saturday night and put on his 70's wig to sing karaoke.  You can kind of make him out in this picture...the profile gives it away.

Soon K-Tel will be presenting the 'Best of Thunder Sings the Hits'...Songs like Mustang Sally, Kid Rock's Cowboy, Hooked on a Feeling, Funky Cold Medina(Tone Loc) , Let Me Be There and Let's Groove Tonight! 

Wish we had some video for you, but none of us were in much shape to find a video camera and figure out how to work it! 

Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!!

See anything wrong with this picture??  It was an inflatable slide in the kids section at the Taste of MN over the weekend.  I went to my first Taste on Thursday night and was quite surprised when I finally realized what this inflatable was.  Figured it out yet?  It's an inflatable of THE TITANIC!!  Look again...it's a huge slide that the kids climb up then slide down like the ship is sinking.   

 (Real Titanic)

I am known for not being the most politcally correct person in the world and even I was surprsied that there is an inflatable of the Titanic sinking that is now a slide.  It even says TITANIC on the back of the ship!!  I'm sure none of the  kids realize that people actually slid to their deaths on the real one or that there even was a real one.  What disaster inflatable will be next?  The Hindenburg? 

Apparently there are still companies out there who require women to wear nylons (pantyhose, stockings) with their dresses or skirts.  I have to admit that I did grow up having to wear nylons and that was just the way it was.  Yet in 2008, a 'Nylon Requirement' seems really old fashioned.  In the article I read, it also stated that there are a lot of women in their 20's who missed the 'Nylon Generation' and have never worn them.  Not to church, not to work, just plain never! 

I love the woman who called today and said that she is 33 and wears them everyday to stop any jiggling and just hold it in.  Even when I don't feel like wearing hose, I've got the jiggle concern too which is why I'm a huge fan of Spanx.  If you are not familiar with Spanx, they are amazing at reducing all the bad curves and giving you nice, tight curves.  Oprah first talked about them a couple of years ago, Tyra Banks loves them and ever since I tried them I am also a believer.  My one bit of advice, don't by the pantyhose Spanx, by the other ones that go from above the knees to under the bra.  It rocks and will make you feel 10# lighter!

Have a great Tuesday~

Anyone else try and get a 'date night' in with their spouse on a regular basis?  Bill and I are on a good roll with date nights and right now we're planning on going out for an early dinner tonight.  I'm still thinking dinner, but I'm also thinking that we might get wild and crazy and also go to a movie!  For us, this is crazy because we're ususally at home in bed by 10:30pm on the weekends.  If you're a parent I'm guessing that this is also your life, but for folks who are just leaving for the clubs at 10:30pm just know that this will be you in a few years.  It just happens. 

If you haven't seen the trailer yet for Wanted with Angelina Jolie, here it is(CAUTION:  IT'S A RATED 'R' MOVIE!!):

I love a good romantic comedy on a date night, but I have to admit that this movie looks awesome.   If you see it this weekend shoot us an email and let us know what you thought.  GregandMelissa@KS95.com

Have a great weekend!!

Can you return a pair of shoes after you've worn them out of the house?  That was my dilemma this morning.  You see, on Friday night our family went out to a local shoe store to find a pair of walking/running shoes for me.  Found those, then also found a cute pair of black flats on the clearance rack.  They were only $25, my size and cute!!  I tried them on in the store, they felt fine, so I bought them.  Yesterday, I wore them to work and I HATED THEM!  They couldn't be more uncomfortable if they tried!!!!!  I HATE THEM!!!!!!! 

Now I know why they were on clearance...awful shoes.  Greg said my feet looked like sausages crammed into them...lovely visual.  Thanks Greg. 

So, I wanted to take them back but figured there was no way.  Then the calls came in....and I CAN take them back.  I had said that I wouldn't lie, would admit that I wore them outside of the house and if they would then take them back under those conditions, I would return them.  They will!  Who knew...I thought that if you bought an awful pair of shoes that you were stuck with them.  Nope....most stores will take them back for at least store credit.  LOVE IT!  I've never done this before, but today I'm returning the awful shoes. 

Have a great day!
