My hubby finds this hilarious and lets me know how many times a day he says each of them.  It’s pretty funny.  “Woot!” is a new word for us and it’s a big joke to us how many people say it.  Cracks us up really.  Not sure how we never noticed it before.

Friday was a 4-Woot day.  The day before had 3 “You are sh*#ting me”s.  I’m guessing Friday was a better day for him.

Maybe he was checking out Woot! for some great deals?

Are you a Woot!er?

Her weekly expenses that she submitted to court include:

  • Maintaining a Park Avenue apartment and three residences in Sweden
  • $700 for a limousine service
  • $4,500 for clothes
  • $1,000 for hair and skin treatments
  • $1,500 for restaurants and entertainment
  • and $8,000 for travel

Now, I’m not going to get on a soak box about all the unemployed and homeless and people going hungry in this economy, but believe me, I wanted to.

I just think it’s so ever the top, ridiculous and sad that this woman’s perspective of what she needs is so skewed…it’s just well, almost, laughable.
