Congratulations Mr. President!!

Last night was one of the most exciting nights in a long time. I was thrilled to watch Barack Obama decimate McCain. The change is coming!

And then this morning, Georgie W. had to break into morning television to make his remarks....and the question is WHO CARES WHAT HE HAS TO SAY? We just want him out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and can't wait until 1/20/09! Georgia will go down as the worst president in history. Good riddance Georgie and don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

Kim Zolciak Spotted At the Atlanta Hawks Game

The following is an excerpt from today's Peach Buzz written by Richard Eldredge in today's Atlanta Journal Constitution (http://www.ajc.com/):

"Last year, the celebrity quotient at the Atlanta Hawks home opener was virtually nil. This year, with the Hawks showing signs of being a quality team, Buzz noted a few notables in the crowd: a very satisfied former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young high-fiving Josh Smith as the Hawks beat the Sixers in a huge come-from-behind win; Olympian and Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt; original Destiny’s Child singer Letoya Luckett and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas of TLC.
“Tyler Perry’s House of Payne” lead actor Allen Payne won a Home Depot contest, properly pricing three hardware items (including a leaf blower) and getting a free throw in on his second try, winning a $100 gift card he then gave away.
Most amusing moment: when crowd announcer Michael King introduced Kim Zolciak of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Buzz could hear some discernible booing. Zolciak appeared blissfully unaffected. "

This is yet another situation which demonstrates just how much Kim is reviled in Hotlanta.....and just as you might imagine, this narcissist is painfully unaware and oblivious to the entire event!! Buzz does not say who accompanied Kim....and whether she finally found a decent hairdresser. Hey Kim, try Carter Barnes in Buckhead!!

Kai Medspa Owner Dishes about Kim Zolciak of the Real Housewives of Atlanta

The following is an excerpt from the blog of the owner of Kai Medspa in Johns Creek, Georgia, http://blog.kaimedspa.com/,which was featured on the 10/28 episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. The excerpt reveals the drama between Kim, Sheree and Nenee(what else do we expect?) and that Kim, one of the most overindulgent mothers in the history of the world, took her kids out of school to come to the spa when the FOKs (Friends of Kim) who promised to come out to the spa no showed. The owner closed the spa for the day for the filming and I only hope that she will make up her losses for the day in free publicity. Check this out:

"Kim Zolciak and her best friend, Cori Davenport showed up first. There was already “drama” going on when they arrived. Kim told me that she and Nene had dinner last night and she was scheduled to come to the spa…but what happened was that Nene found out that Sheree’ was coming with her friend and Nene decided not to come. Then Sheree’ had second thoughts and Kim was extremely upset because no one was coming! Kim had initially told me that 3 “housewives” were coming and each was bringing a friend. Therefore, I brought a big staff in from my other stores and I had other special items set up. Kim really has a big heart. Kim felt so badly because we had even closed the store on this day to do the filming, so she and Cori called the schools and took their daughters out early, so that they could come to kai. In the meantime, Sheree’ changed her mind and ended up coming. Kim was so relieved…"

Amazon Kindle My Favorite New Gadget

I am an avid reader. I usually read one book per week in addition to my collection of magazines, to which I am addicted. I subscribe to many of the tabloid magazines in addition to Vanity Fair, Self, Shape, In Style, Lucky, Oprah, Rachel Ray and many more. I also read newspapers daily including parts of the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New York Post and the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Sheree Whitfield and Lisa Wu Hartwell are 'inspiring others"

The following blurb appeared in the Peachbuzz column of the Atlanta Journal Constitution today(http://www.ajc.com/). Written by Richard Eldredge

"On Thursday night, a full house turned out for the third annual Taste of Ebony at the Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery. About 25 Atlanta chefs, including TV One’s G. Garvin, gave guests a taste of their signature dishes. Among the guests were two of the stars of Bravo’s “Real Housewives Atlanta” —- Sheree Whitfield and Lisa Wu Hartwell. It appears the “Housewives” are becoming bona-fide celebrities as they spent a great part of the evening posing for photos for and with fans.
“We’ve gotten lots of love from Atlanta,” Hartwell told Buzz.
Whitfield agreed: “It’s been a blessing; we’re having so much fun.”
Still, both say they’ve been surprised by how negative and judgmental some people have been.
“There have been other ‘Housewives’ —- New York, Orange County —- and it’s like because we’re African-Americans, we’re being criticized for spending money,” said Hartwell, who was there with her husband, Ed.
So how are things between arch rivals Sheree and NeNe?
“We’re fine,” said Whitfield. “We’re all grown women, and at the end of the day, you have to get past your differences.”
And what’s been the best part about being on the show?
“That we get to inspire others,” said Whitfield, who noted that she gets many positive e-mails from young girls. “If we can do it, so can you,” she said."
