Happy AmericanThanksgiving

It's a big holiday in the U.S. today, best wishes to all for a safe and happy holiday. We have to wait until Christmas before we start over-eating again! Maybe I should bake some squash today to help with the celebrations!

Yesterday, I went to see my blood pressure specialist for a checkup and I've been given the all clear and she doesn't need to see me anymore unless things change. This is a good thing.

Adam Lambert is all over the news and I'm having trouble keeping up with all his TV and radio appearances after his controversial AMA performance. He did a wonderful show on the CBS Early Show after ABC's Good Morning America cancelled his appearance as they were concerned about viewer complaints. His official website crashed about 20 minutes after he announced that his new music video was online. My sister thinks the real reason was that the moderators could not handle the volume of comments as people fight back and forth. This whole thing is unbelievable. I hope he survives this and safely. His new CD is doing really well.

Check out the genius marketing strategy video below. I think it means that if you don't have a Facebook account yet, you need to get with the times, as it has moved into the business world.

  1. I totally missed this Adam Lambert thing, but I did catch some of the aftermath and he has some valid points. How come the girls can get away with it and the guys can't?!

  2. Gosh I don't know. I didn't see it but I did read that he took one of the musicians' head and brought him to his crotch. That ummm... sounds a bit much. This sure did promote a lot of publicity though.

    The facebook IKEA is really something. I've not really gotten into Facebook I'm afraid.

  3. Thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes. Didn't you have a Canadian Thanksgiving earlier, too?

  4. SoccerMom, you'd have to see the video ...he did go a bit far, albeit fully clothed. But I did buy his CD.

    Kay, Canadian Thanksgiving is mid-October. I'm trying to get my husband to open a Facebook account, but the kids will probably have to do it for him, he'll never get around to it.

  5. I tried to watch Adam Lambert's AMA performance, but it was so hard to concentrate on his singing--I think he was distracted too. Do you like his new CD?
