And then there were 3...

As of next month, everyone's favorite jerk, I mean judge, will be off the judging panel of American Idol. Goodbye Simon, hello Quincy Jones? Maybe. But only if he still has that killer stash!

According to TV Guide, 40% of readers favoured Quincy replacing Simon Cowell for the next season of Idol. Other possibilities are Howard Stern, Elton John...even Adam Lambert!

Who do you think would be a good match? Leave it in the comments!



Because you never know when you'll need an outdated stroller...

And that's why sites like Kijiji, Craigslist and Used Victoria are so awesome/addictive.

Is there such a thing as using those kinds of websites too much? My boyfriend and I always joke that Used Victoria is like my mom's second job, and when she's posting stuff for sale online, she's "going to work". But hey, if you can make some sales and find what you're looking for at a good price, everyone wins!

What are some of the best finds you've come across online?

I love you, darling

Everyone has that one person in their lives who makes things way more entertaining and spices life up a notch or two. For me, it’s my Nonna. Here are some of her stats:

Age: 86 (give or take ten years depending on who she’s trying to impress)

Marital Status: Married 60+ years. He’s also pretty darn special.

Words to live by: “Tomorrow’s another day”. She also likes telling people “I Love you, Darling”...whether you know her or not. Followed by a light pinch to the behind. Again, whether you know her or not.

Official Position: My Italian Grandmother. Maker of unbelievable lasagna. Sewer of torn jeans and buttons. Master gardener. Philospher to the max (get her going on the power of a positive attitude and there’s no turning back!) And most recently…a poet, too?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you everyone’s favorite Italian grandmother! So why don’t you introduce yourself, Nonna?
