Happy Holidays… See Ya In a Week!

Tomorrow me and Mr. Smith will be boarding a plane to snowy NJ to spend Christmas with his family. Therefore I wanted to tell my 5 loyal readers that I will not be writing for a whole week. I hope that nothing exciting happens while we’re gone, so just sit tight and I will be back in no time to report the daily news ;-) .

The Siberian Husky – One Day…

siberian-huskyWatching one of my recent favorite show – Dogs 101 – on Animal Planet, I finally saw the Husky story. I personally have never had a dog but have dreamed of one all my life. I love big dogs, and living in a tiny apartment in downtown Miami, would not be fair to my future best friend. I never knew exactly what kind of dog I wanted because I really do love them all but Mr. Smith had mentioned that the only dog he will be willing to have is a husky (He loves snow). After giving it some thought, I immediately fell in love with the idea and as soon as we move up north and have a good size house and yard – I WILL have that dog. ;-)

After watching the Husky special I realized that it really is the perfect dog for me. The husky is a strong silent type but when it comes to making it’s point across it can howl so loud, he can be heard up to 10 miles away. The breed is originally from North East Siberia but was brought to America by way of Alaska in 1909. The Huskies love pulling sleds in cold weather which may become easy since they have well furred toes that insulate sub zero temperatures, can change it’s metabolism which allows them to run for long periods of time and not get tired and of course their double layer coat that can withstand temps of up to -160. They have a great adventures spirit, sometimes against their own good so you might want to make sure the leash is well secure  when you take them on a trip or your Husky might go on their own little adventure.

When it comes to training, they are a very smart breed so make sure you don’t try to outsmart them – They’ll know. They do have a lot of energy so make sure they have a large space to run around in. Their thick coat does need attention so weekly grooming is necessary. They are prone to some health issues such as hip displacement and eye issues but they are great with kids and can make a great family pet.  One day…

Writers Block Sucks!

writers-block

It’s been awhile since I wrote anything, I know. And it’s like there’s nothing to write about, there is, just nothing I am interested in writing about. So Miley quit Twitter and Jon and Kate are together again for twins birthday party… Who the F cares??? I promised myself I will never write anything about stupid things like that and I intend to keep it. I promise as soon as I find something news worthy I will definitely add on… If you have any ideas, please don’t be shy!

We’re Not Dead… We Just Moved! :-)

House_MovingHello faithful readers. We just wanted to let everyone know that the reason we haven’t written in a while is because we just moved. From a termite / roach / worm infested, no central air, old hand-me-down furniture apartment to a hardwood floor, stainless steel appliances, 36th floor that the bugs can’t reach, central aired, working on the new furniture, terrific view (Pics to come), dream of an apartment.

So right now I am sitting on a lawn chair in the living room (All I need is some sand in my toes) next to blankets and pillows (For Mr. Smith to sit on of course). Don’t worry, posts will be coming soon. In fact Mr. Smith promised he will be doing the Spain preview while I go to dinner with friends :-) but we’ll see…

Have you ever had a bad experience with an apartment? Share…

Why We Do What We do!

Hollywood signIf you read Our Story you would already know a little bit about our background and how we met. You would also know that we work together but what you don’t know is that we work for an Affiliate Network and for the last few weeks my job consisted of reading other people’s blogs (Financial to be exact). Although we run a completely different blog here, there are still many similarities and many things that I have learned.

One of the things I’ve learned is that every self respecting blogger has an extensive “About Us” page that details their life and the reason for their blog creation. So I started thinking, and I suppose I should explain what this blog is all about.

First of all, I am a huge Entertainment buff. Unlike any entertainment site out there, I will not write about people I have no interest in and I will not cover every tedious story like “Lindsey Lohan, driving a car, where is Sam?” It’s stupid and it’s pointless.  I will also write about more then just entertainment. I love fashion, I love to travel, I love good food.  I will write about anything and everything that interests me and Mr. Smith will write about anything that interests him, like Sports :-) . We will also talk about our lives and the crazy interesting things that happen to us. (Hahaha NOT)

This is not your run of the mill celebrity gossip site, this is the Meca of everything interesting and I hope you enjoy it.

2 for $20 at Applebee’s Review

applebeesMrs. Smith and I like to occasionally dine-out on a Saturday Night and being that we have no money, the Applebee’s 2 for $20 sounded just right.  After a quick trip to Google Maps, we were on our way to the Applebee’s located in Doral.

We arrived around 5:45 pm, which seems a few minutes too late, as there was a good size amount of people waiting.  Not a problem, when people wait, they wait because the food is good, so we were handed our black beeper (cool little device that blinks and vibrates when your table is ready) and we patiently waited outside.  About 20 minutes we were seated at what was undoubtedly the coldest table in the Restaurant.  Although there was no vent next to us, we were seated by a very drafty window.  South Florida seems to have a case of recent wet weather, so it was somewhat chilly outside.

Anyway, after being seated we waited for just over 15 minutes before a waitress came to our table asking for our drink or menu order.  Mrs. Smith gave every passer by a glaring look of anger but I managed to keep my cool.  We decided to order the Boneless Buffalo Wings as an appetizer and the Mrs. had the A1 Stake-house Burger, while I chose the Three Cheese Chicken Penne (The most expensive thing on the regular menu for this promotion, I thought I would get a maximum return on my selection).

The Buffalo wings (10) arrived shortly thereafter with 5 pieces of celery and a blue cheese type sauce.  Too small to be worth the $8.65 they are on the menu, we gobbled them down pretty quickly as they tasted pretty good.  Only a couple of minutes later, our entrée’s were ready!  Mrs. Smith was served her Burger first, (so few serve the lady first) then I was given a big bowl of Pasta.  Absent from my pasta was the focaccia stick it should have come with and the serving of grilled chicken that was used was smaller than I had anticipated (About half a breast, sliced)

The first words out of Mrs. Smith’s mouth when describing her burger was “a little pathetic” and I was less than impressed with my meal.  Considering the advertisement we were bombarded with when we logged on to Applebee’s website, we expected the Burger to be much more impressive in look.  Setting our early feelings aside, we dug into our meals and finished around the same time.  While the wife had good things to say about the taste of her Steak-house Burger, and the taste of the Honey-Mustard sauce they gave her, I struggled to down my Pasta filled bowl as the mix of cheeses and lack of chicken made for a very heavy meal.

To finish the meal properly, we asked for the desert menu, which we didn’t realize was considerably short.  Only four choices to choose from, we decided to share the Triple Chocolate Melt-Down (Heated Chocolate Cake with fudge, vanilla ice-cream and whip cream).  Two spoons and 5 minutes later, it was devoured and undoubtedly the most delicious and well presented part of the evening for the both of us.  With tax and tip, the meal set us back $32.00.  Was it worth it?  Probably not but with the right waiter, table and meal, it certainly could be.

I Started Dancing Again!!!

3935leg-warmers-postersYes it sounds just like my previous article “I started playing Tennis” but the difference here is that I’ve actually danced before, unlike Tennis where I’m just running around the court like a crazy person with a racket, which is not that great of an idea for a crazy person… but i digress.

I have actually been in and out of dance schools and dance teams since I was about 4 and I’ve tried everything from Ballet to Hip-Hop. (Between you and me I like Hip-Hop the best)

So here is the story. One of my friends (who I used to dance with on my college dance team) told me about a dance school that just happened to be down the street from my house and we decided to go. What we thought was going to be a beginners/intermediate Hip-Hop class turned out to be an Intermediate/Advanced Jazz class (An hour and a half long). Let’s just say this was the wrong class for me to take my first day back. I haven’t danced Jazz in about 5 years, haven’t danced anything for 3 years and I haven’t even worked out in 3 months.  Aren’t you suppose to have something called muscle memory? Well apparently that’s something I’m lacking (Unless I’m missing the meaning of that phrase) because I was using muscles that apparently my body forgot I had and I looked like a damn fool.  Every  20 minutes a different muscle started to cramp up and pain started shooting up my legs. Well I’ll stop the bitching… you get the point. Just to give you a time line, this was yesterday and today I’m walking as slow as possible and  I prep to sit down worse than a pregnant lady at 9 months.

Withstanding all the pain, I’m going to continue stretching through the week and pick up another class next week… I am gonna need some new dance clothes though!

I Started Playing Tennis!!!

With the Economy going up and down and down and down…. I (As the rest of the country) had to make some cuts in my monthly budget. Many things went out the window first, like the gym. ( It took me a while to give up but i finally did it!)

So how can you still get your exorcise without paying $40 bucks a month? There are many things you could try… Mr Smith and I started walking to the mailbox at night (A 5 minute walk but still…) and of course the reason for this post!  We started playing Tennis! Well, I started. ( Mr. Smith has been playing since high-school and even made it to the New Jersey State High School Championships. (He would kill me if I forgot)

We were out there for a little over an hour and I realized that I need a major Tennis makeover – as I was running around the court on a beautiful Miami afternoon (about 90 degrees) in black jazz shoes, little shorts and a black tank top.

Shopping time !!! And what a coincidence … I just saw a commercial for the new D’lights from Skechers – for around $50 they look really cute.  I also found a very comfortable looking pair of New Balance tennis shoes at PlanetShoes.com for like $30 with free shipping. I am also in desperate need of a white pleaded skirt (Yes i am getting all decked out). I found some really cute skirts from Buy.com bu we’ll see what I’ll get.  Keep you posted.

Who feeds you your daily entertainment rush?

angelinaMrs. Smith –

Well I guess I’ll start from the beginning. I was born on October 5th, 1983 in Odessa,Ukraine – when I was 6 I moved to Israel – and when I was 16 I moved to where I currently reside, Miami, FL.

I graduated from the University of Miami with a marketing degree and soon after moved to Boston. Then I moved to Buffalo, NY (don’t ask) and decided to start over and move back home to Miami.

As you can see I love moving around and experiencing new things and places. I love flying. I love dancing. I love eating. I cant live without water. I love a good movie. I cry at movies. I love music – it makes me feel good. I love candles. I LOVE Clothes and Accessories.  I love making spreadsheets.

Well I can go on and on about myself but I’ll give the stage to my partner in crime.

mrmetsMr. Smith –

Mr Smith was born in raised in the great state of New Jersey.  At the young ole age of 17 I decided to attend college at the University of Miami for no apparent reason.

Racking up a sizable loan bill, I graduated with a degree in Mathematics and decided to stick it out in Miami, rather than move back up north. After picking up a couple of jobs here and there, I’ve been working as a Marketing Analyst for a little under two years.

The ultimate goal is to have this website make billions of dollars, so I can retire in a couple of years and move to the mountains so I can freeze to death.

—-

Mrs. Smith here:  Just for the record Mr. Smith and I didn’t meet at the University of Miami, though it seems very likely.  We actually met two years later when we started working for the same company (creepy) and for a little over a year now have been sitting  spitting distances from each other (and I can’t spit very far).

A couple of months after we started working together we decided to bundle our resources and move in together and the rest is history.

We hope you enjoy our lives and our very strong and different opinions – Please comment and let us know what you think!

Jeffrey Donovan spotted at Mr. Moe’s!

It’s St. Patrick’s Day again and where else would I be but the grove. The evening started out slow but picked up pretty quickly once we got to Moe’s Tavern. Two of my friends and I walk in, look around and decide to go somewhere else. While they’re walking out I see this gorgeous guy in a green shirt that looks just like Jeffrey Donovan. Naaa… No way. So I walk outside, following my friends and go “hey guys…do you watch Burn Notice?” They turn around and say “Yeah, why?” and I reply “Because Michael Weston is inside”!!! They run inside and started hyperventilating; I could not believe me eyes. I knew they were filming in Miami but I had never seen a celebrity that close before. Right away we came up to him and asked to take a picture…

picture-047
We walked outside and stood at the outside bar for a while and I decided to use the restroom. I walked right by him on the way there, and guess who I see on the way back? Bruce Campbell!!! Just chatting it up with Jeffrey. I go back to my friends and tell them what happened, meanwhile a girl and a guy behind us were talking about the same thing. We start talking to her and next thing I know she’s dragging me back inside to introduce me to Bruce Campbell and his wife. We shake hands and before I have time to ask for a picture they run out and we are left standing right next to Jeffrey and his friends so we start talking to him. We kept chatting for about 10 minutes but unfortunately had to close out and leave, so we shook hands again (like 4 times in total – I’m never washing my hand again!). Now a little bit of background:

Jeffrey Donovan, born May 11th, 1968 in Amesbury, MA and raised by his mother along with 2 other brothers. After earning a Masters degree in Fine Arts, he made his film debut in a typical modern caper flick Throwing Down. Many films followed, as well as guest appearances on many popular TV shows such as The Pretender, Spin City, Monk, CSI: Miami and Law & Order. He played a rich player in the hilarious movie Hitch with Will Smith, and a police investigator in Changeling along side Angelina Jolie.

burn-notice
The role that in my opinion made him this popular is playing Michael Weston on the hit TV show Burn Notice where he tells the story of an ex spy that’s been burned by his agency and was exiled to Miami (not much of an exile!). Alongside his buddy Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) and his trigger happy ex-girlfriend Fiona Glenanne (Gabrielle Anwar) they help people that find themselves in unusual situations and require the services of an ex spy, while trying to find out who burned him so he can get back to his life. Unfortunately the season finally aired about two weeks ago but I can’t wait for the next season. (USA every Thursday at 10pm) Jeffrey currently resides in Topanga, FL with his wife and three boys. (when he’s not filming in Miami).
