try to remain quiet when this happens

Went to the spa for a pedicure this week.

Picture this. They have one of those relaxation rooms, probably the closest thing to heaven, where you don't hear cell phones ringing, kids calling your name, or horns honking at you to move the minute a light turns green. By the way, the horn thing happened last week, and I heard Hayden yell from the back seat, 'Don't sass my momma!'

Good to know a 5-year-old has my back.

So I took a seat on the plush couch in the relaxation room, donning a robe and flipflops, and noticing that the woman across from me either had better biceps than my husband, or once worked for that show American Gladiators. I then poured myself a steaming cup of cinnamon tea...

And PROCEEDED TO SPILL IT ALL OVER MY LEG.

Hot. Tea. Skin.

Not a good combination. And my reaction was anything BUT relaxing.

but Regis doesn't live here

Here's the lowdown on Regis, and the co-hosting gig.

They asked for a second video, so I sent it Sunday. The Top 10 will be announced on LIVE! with Regis and Kelly Monday. You can keep sending in your comments here.

I've heard someone jumped out of a plane for their pitch tape, and that's just not going to happen on my end. I can barely fly IN a plane, without holding the hand of a stranger next to me, true story, and who knew the seatbelt actually fits over your lap while curled up in the fetal position? Peanuts? No thanks. More like valium.

At any rate, whatever the outcome, it's been fun. It's also been ALL that my 5-year-old wants to talk about, as in 'Hi, Regis!,' repeated a minimum of 20 times daily after hearing me say it on the tape. He knows he's driving me nuts, responding with 'Hi, Regis!' when I tell him it's time for a shower, or I am greeted with 'Hi, Regis!' as I bring in groceries from my car.

He smirks and bats his lashes for effect.

Or he uses it to get out of trouble. Like when he told his dad he had hairy armpits, I shot him a look, to which he responded with a grin...

'Hi, Regis!'

It's gonna be a long week.

my husband's frantic call for help

I was preparing food for the baby shower I threw yesterday in honor of my dearest friend, who is expecting twins! Then I heard my husband scream for me, and the rest is history:

Greg: Deb, get in here now!

Me: WHAT? What is it?

Greg: Ohhhh, this isn't good. This isn't good at all.

Me, running: What? What happened?

Greg: I was dusting the piano.

Me: Yeah, and?

Greg: And I sprayed it with RAID.

Lady Antebellum Webisode = Halarious

kevin got a new webcam

Morning!

My co-host, Kevin, got a new laptop. He's into taking studio pics and using the timer. Not bad for a self-portrait.

Oh, the fun.

my favorite moment of all-time

See that photo?

I've never laughed so hard in my entire life. I'm almost 38 years old, and I can honestly say, without a doubt, it was the funniest moment in my lifetime.

That's my husband Greg, by the way. We had been out with the boys, when he realized it was late and we needed to get home. He suggested getting the kids a 'bedtime snack,' though certainly not the healthiest, at a nearby McDonalds drive-thru.

So he pulled up to the speaker and placed the order.

As he slowly approached the window to pay, he grabbed our youngest's football helmet, saying 'Who dares me to wear this up to the window?'

He wasn't kidding.

So this was the final result, and I found myself snorting while crying tears of laughter, with the boys dying of embarrassment. Kids standing at the counter inside McD's stared and grabbed their parents to point at the weird guy wearing a football helmet in the drive-thru. (Greg yelled back, 'Go Colts!') The female employee turned to hand us our food and bust out laughing, saying 'I like your...uh...hat?'

Griffin chuckled, and capped off our cackle-fest by saying:

'Gosh, Mom...you haven't laughed like that since the 80's.'

Note to reader: He's 9.

I wanna sit next to Regis

Found out you can vote up to 50 times a day...so have at it.

Click the link here, then click LIKE and make your comment. The list is down to 100, and I want, more like NEED to make the Top 10. How else will I be able to find out what Regis smells like?

Yeah, I said it.

Regis is a handsome fellow, so I would imagine he wears some killer cologne. So far, the closest I've gotten to sniffing Reege is posing next to his wax statue in the Big Apple.

And that didn't smell so hot.
