Charlene Ross's Blog

Hello, friends! It’s that time of year – when I sit on my couch in my pjs giving my thumbs up or down on Hollywood glamour as if I were qualified to have an opinion on such matters. Marley is busy tonight and was unwilling unable to help (though she did pipe in for a […]

Like all years, 2024 was filled with highs and lows. But to be honest, the horrific results of the 2024 election aside, 2024 was a pretty good year for the Rosses. And it was definitely a good year for me. I got a promotion (and a decent raise) at work and got to travel pretty […]

Hello, Friends! Awards season has finally come to an end with the one that everyone waits for – the Academy Awards. I was especially excited to watch this year because my husband and I did something we haven’t done in a very long time – actually watched the movies! You know, I have to say, […]

Well, I have to be honest. Last night’s Emmys took me by surprise! As everyone knows (or should know!), The Emmys come on in September when the new broadcast network TV season starts. But due to the writers’ strike it was postponed. (And if I’m honest with y’all, I didn’t even remember it didn’t happen […]

Hello, Friends! It’s that time of year again, where my daughter Marley and I sit home unshowered in our plaid pajama bottoms and cozy fuzzy tops and judge the glamorous people for their stylist’s fashion choices.

My sister hates country music. So did our dad. My kids hate it too. I get it. I used to hate it as well. It used to literally make me angry when it came on. That twang. Ugh. Like nails on a chalkboard. But a trip to Stagecoach 10 years ago for a friend’s milestone […]

Once again, the Oscars have come at an unfortunate time for me. I had the double whammy of coming home from a long weekend getaway at my girlfriend’s house in the beautiful St. George, UT (landed at Burbank Airport at 1:00 PM) and hosting a virtual trivia event for work at 5:00 PM. Sure, I […]

“Do you want me to record the Golden Globes for you?” my husband asked me yesterday afternoon. “The Golden Globes are back?” I answered. “I had no idea. Sure. Thank you. When are they on? Sunday?” “Tonight?! On a Tuesday?! Why???” Look, if you are a regular reader of my red carpet report (which is […]

And just like that (as Carrie Bradshaw would say), 2022 is check, done. And once again, I wonder, how did another year go by so fast? At the beginning of every new year I like to sit down with my happiness journal and reflect upon the year before (and bore y’all with a blog post […]
