Guess what?  Taylor Swift won “Favorite Female Artist” at the People’s Choice Awards last night. Shocked?  Nope.  Not so much. That was pretty much the tone of the entire evening.  It was all nice and packaged with no real surprises. 

Well, maybe just a few surprises.  Alyson Hannigan won “Favorite TV Comedy Actress” for How I Met Your Mother.  Well deserved for an actress, and show, that should get more buzz.  Steve Carell won ”Favorite TV Comedy Actor” for The Office.  That was actually a really nice surprise. I am not a fan of 30 Rock and that show seems to win EVERYTHING.  Plus, Steve’s “That’s What She Said” acceptance speech was a perfect tribute to all the true Office fans. It was unexpected, but super cool. (That’s what she said.  Ahem.)

I was so excited when Glee won “Favorite New TV Comedy.”  When the kids from the show accepted the award, they said they had a surprise for the audience.  They would sing!  Yay!  Nope.  That was not it. Instead they delivered sponsored frozen pizza to the audience.  Super cheesy.  (Sorry).  And strange.  But they were still really cute and they definitely deserved the win. 

The hubbie, kiddies, and I listened to the Glee soundtracks in the car during our long holiday road trip.  I really love Rachel’s (Lea Michele) and Finn’s (Cory Monteith) rendition of “No Air.”  It’s such an amazing pop song.  I love Jordin Sparks, but I can’t bring myself to listen to her version anymore because of Chris Brown.  Now I have this cool version to turn up in the car.  Thanks Glee.

Bean loves to play with my little pink umbrella when it’s raining outside.  And it rains A LOT here. 

But the amazing thing about this little pink umbrella….

… is that it was with me during a summer vacation in Venice, Italy.  That was when my little Bean was still just a *twinkle* in my eye.
