Seacrest signs on to continue hosting ‘American Idol’
All-but-omnipresent entertainment personality Ryan Seacrest is sticking with the job that propelled him to national fame, announcing Monday that he’ll continue hosting “American Idol.”
Seacrest hosts a daily morning radio show for Clear Channel, helms a daily entertainment news show with Giuliana Rancic on E! and is an executive producer of several shows, including “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” Plus he announced earlier this month that he’ll be part of NBC’s primetime coverage of the Summer Olympics in London.

Posted April 25th 2012 by tyralyn30 Day Challenge: Day 10
Posted April 25th 2012 by tyralynDay 01: Something you’re looking forward to this year.
Day 02: Something you regret not having done last year.
Day 03: Something with which you struggle.
Day 04: Something that is part of your routine that you enjoy.
Day 05: Something in life that gives you balance.
Day 06: Something that excites you and fills you with joy.
Day 07: How do you feel about the holidays?
Day 08: Write about your worst relationship.
Day 09: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Day 10: Something at which you’ve been a champion or the best.
I can’t really think of anything that I’ve been champion or best at. I was a good student, but I wasn’t top of the class. I’m a good writer, but I’ve not won any awards for it. I’m good at a lot of things, but I’m not the best at anything. I don’t strive to be the best at anything other than being myself. Being the best tends to lead to arrogance and I can’t stand arrogant people.

Music Love
Posted April 15th 2012 by tyralyn
I love music. I always have. Part of me wanted to grow up to be a musician. When I was in school, we had a band. A traditional, orchestra type band. So we had to pick out orchestra type instruments if we wanted to be in band. So, I picked out the clarinet. I loved it. I loved music. I loved being a part of band. What I really wanted to play, however, was piano. I had a love for piano music, the idea of learning the keyboard. Sadly, it wasn’t an option. Neither was guitar, which was something else I wanted to learn.
I wanted to learn to play, learn my favorite country songs. I’m afraid it’s too late, even though there are some great eMedia Guitars out there that have everything I’d need in order to teach myself. I don’t know that I have the hand dexterity to learn and spending money, even if they are fairly inexpensive, on something that I can’t use scares me.
I do love music though. Maybe I can still learn to play piano…

Have you ever…
Posted April 15th 2012 by tyralyn
Have you ever wondered where old race cars go to die? It appears that they go to Dale Earnhardt Jr’s car graveyard. I think this is kind of cool, really. I’d love to know just how many cars he has in his graveyard, since the google earth, sat. photos don’t show that many out in the open. Can you imagine the history you could see if you were to walk through a car graveyard? God that’d be a fun Nascar tourist spot.
It makes me wonder if he has the car his father was driving that fateful day at Daytona….

Yard Sale Season!
Posted April 15th 2012 by tyralynIt’s officially yard sale season! I’m kind of excited by this. Don’t judge me. I like yard sales. You never know what you’re going to find. I’ve seen people put out practically brand new KitchenAid mixers for cheap. Sadly, I’ve never had the money when I saw one to get it. I’ve seen people put out old ratty clothes, too. Sometimes you’ll find stuff like welding cable. You never know what you’re going to find, really. That’s one of the things I love about yard sales. I have a few things I’m looking for, so we’ll see if I can find any of them.

Hunger Games Still Winning At Box Office
Posted April 15th 2012 by tyralynGood grief, The Hunger Games is still kicking box office behind in it’s 4th week in theaters. Their $21.5 million take this weekend beat out The Three Stooges, which hit theaters this weekend. I’m amazed that this movie is still doing so well, especially since it’s about teens killing teens. The books weren’t that well known prior to the movie coming to light, so I’m even more surprised by it’s success. I read the books long before the movie was a thought in Hollywood, so I made my way to see it two weeks ago. I wasn’t as impressed as I thought I would be. I did enjoy the movie, really, and it stuck to the book fairly well, so it wasn’t bad. I’m just surprised by how well it’s going over.

Keeping Up
Posted April 15th 2012 by tyralynNo, we’re not keeping up with the Kardashians. Although, it would probably be a lot more interesting to read if we were. No, today we’re keeping up with weight loss plans. For some reason, I can’t lose weight so I’ve been reading about different weight loss plans and supplements. I’ve read review upon review and I don’t know what to make of them. Just this morning, I read an apidextra review and I’m still lost.
Tuesday, I go visit an endocrinologist. I’m kind of nervous about it, but perhaps s/he will be able to figure out if there’s something going on with me that is causing my inability to lose weight. I eat properly, I eat healthy and I still gain. It has to stop. Period. This cycle needs to end, one way or another. Hopefully, we can figure out something soon to counter it.

Hermione Granger Turns 22
Posted April 15th 2012 by tyralyn
Wait, 22?!
Yeah, I know it’s hard to believe that little Hermione from the Harry Potter series is all grown up, but it’s happening.. It doesn’t seem possible, does it? But Emma’s all grown up and looking absolutely beautiful. Thankfully, she’s been able to move on from her time in Harry Potter to land roles in a few upcoming projects, including one called Bling Ring.
I’m looking forward to seeing what she makes of her career.

Day 09: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Hmm.. 5 years from now, I hope that I’ll be more financially stable. I hope that I’m in better health. I hope that I’m still married. I hope that things are better than they are today. I’d love to have the same job I have now. I would love to have a better life, though. Personal life, business life, social life, everything. I can’t really say a whole lot of bad things about my life as it is right now, other than the financial side of things – that needs improvement. But who’s doesn’t?

Sleepy Time
Posted March 29th 2012 by tyralynI’m sleepy tonight. I slept well last night for the first time in weeks. I’ve had a great day, too. I spent it laughing, cracking jokes and working on stuff. I haven’t had that kind of motivation for a while. I called and made an appt with my PCP to go over my tests, so that happens Monday afternoon. After my eye appointment.
Tonight, I’ve been working on an article and looking at Padron cigars. I used to love the smell of a good cigar, even though I detest the smell of smoke. Cigar smoke and pipe smoke is different, though.
I think it’s nearly time for me to head to bed. Read for a while then sleep.
