The Buttonista Show

Thank God It's Tuesday! Maybe Khloe Kardashian named her baby Taylor Thompson? TUESDAY Thompson? TGIT Thompson? Tabloids tell us we'll know for sure soon, but we do know is spring is in full swing and bonus points for you if you've already done a seasonal swap of the ol' curtains if you're anything like me over here. This week, there's a lot of nostalgia in the building thinking of the thriving mall era of the past and Easter Sundays spent doing kid things vs. cheffing it up like Martha Stewart sans-Pyrex glass margarita in hand. Sip a Miller Lite and dive into the latest episode for more on a toxic Trader Joe's trait, what the Dalai Lama asked of a small child at a public outing to do to him and more.....

Thank God It's Tuesday!

Well hello, hello, WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW!
