I Need Your Help!

Squeezy don’t beg, but…

LOL

This guy is hilarious. I’d give him a dollar just for making me crack up. I can’t give it all away, so just watch the video!

My Morning

This was how my day started. One can only hope it goes up from here.

I busted out my LAST 2 packets of maple and brown sugar oat meal. Poured them in a bowl. Opened the cabinet to grab a glass to pour some OJ.

Literally as soon as this door opened, a glass careened down from the top shelf.

Like, it must have been on the edge and only staying up because the door was closed.

So that shit tumbles out and lands on my Ikea bowl. I didn’t look too closely but i think the glass is OK (It’s a serious piece of glass, heavy). The bowl cracked/broke in 2 places and there are pieces of porcelain or whatever material ALL OVER my kitchen. Dry oatmeal all over the counter, stove and floor.

FUCK

So I clean this up. I think I have all the porcelain. Start over. New bowl. New packets of oatmeal (this time going for the regular flavor since that’s all I had left). Grabbed a new glass just in case the other one is broken. This time nothing falls out of the cabinet. Score.

So I cook the oatmeal, pour a glass of OJ. I have the milk out too, which I intend to pour into my oatmeal. I go to pour milk in the oatmeal, but instead pour the ORANGE JUICE. So now I have a glass of OJ and a bowl of oatmeal and orange juice.

FUCK

So i put everything away. Dump the oatmeal. Move the poured glass of OJ over to where I will be eating my meal. This part is OK and cannot risk being messed up. Grab yet another bowl and start over. This time with Cheerios. I can’t be wasting 2 more packets of oat meal – that shit is expensive. Grab the milk. Pour it. Go to put it back. Step in a piece of porcelain. Small cut to my heel.

FUCK

Whatever, I’m hungry. Bring my cereal over to the desk and enjoy my 3rd attempt at breakfast.

WTF is wrong with people

OK so some people are just totally crazy. I understand being a fan of a sport, or liking a particular individual athlete. I’d be lying if i said I didn’t have my own healthy obsession with one or two myself :)

However, there is a line. And in addition to knowing where that line is, you really shouldn’t ever cross it.

This lady doesn’t seem to have that concept down. WTF is wrong with this woman?

She then informed the employees that there was a live goat in the trunk that she planned to slaughter later…They popped the trunk and found the animal, dyed purple and gold with the number 4 shaved into its side.

I’m not sure what statement she was trying to make with this? Yeah, I’m upset that Brett Favre has moved to Minnesota, but let’s be rational abou this. Sacrificing a goat just doesn’t seem like it would be a productive way to prevent this plan from setting into motion.

Lunatics.

Maybe we should expand (rather than continue to cut) the budget for mental health care in the US.

Random Thoughts Email

I generally hate forwards, but occasionaly one will come along that makes me laugh. The one I received yesterday was that diamond in the rough, so I’m gonna post it here. Enjoy!

Random thoughts from people 25-35 years old..

-I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.

-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you
realize you’re wrong.

-I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to
have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and
sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?

-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re
going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to
be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the
direction from which you came, you have to first do something like
check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to
yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re
crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

-That’s enough, Nickelback.

-I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

-Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the “people you may know”
feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose
not to be friends with?

FINALLY!

A friend got me the single most amazing set of pajamas a couple of years ago. They’re from Victoria’s Secret and I wear them more or less ALL of the time. What makes them special is the length.

I’m not the tallest person in the world, but like my mother, I have very long legs. This makes the “regular” length PJ pants a tad to short. One thing I’ve always hated about PJs is that the legs ride up and end up around my knees in the morning. Well, not with these long ones!

Ever since I received these I’ve been looking to find more. Of course I can only seem to find them when I have NO money to spend. And then just like that, they’re gone again.

Well HELLO long PJs :) Victoria’s Secret just launched a preview of their Fall collection, and they have 3 styles of PJs that come in a variety of lengths: The Afterhours Tank Pajama, The Sleepover Pajama in Flannel, and The Dreamer Satin Pajama.

I’m in love. Definitely going to have to buy at least one of each of these styles. (more…)

Cake

I’m having issues when it comes to my birthday cake this year. Serious issues. And for something as trivial as a cake, I feel this shouldn’t be happening.

First off, I for some reason had my heart set on an ice cream cake. I have no idea why. Maybe it’s all the ice cream I’ve been eating since surgery. I was thinking Red Velvet cake with Cookies n Cream ice cream. It sounds pretty delish in my personal opinion. Turns out neither Baskin Robins nor Dairy Queen do Red Velvet. Next stop on the cake hunt: Cold Stone.

And there it was: the perfect cake. Cake Batter Confetti….offering layers of moist red velvet cake, Cake Batter™ ice cream and rainbow sprinkles wrapped in a fluffy white frosting.

YUM.

Too bad the location of my party will not allow ice cream cakes.

To play or retire?

I’ve come to the conclusion that Brett Favre will never retire. Ever.

Technically he’s done it twice now. Once in 2008 from the Packers, then again in 2009 from the Jets. Even after seeing him “unretire” in ’08 and sign with the Jets, I truly believed this second retirement was for good. After all, he’s old and although he did OK this year, he was falling apart by the end of the season. Yes it saddens me to say this about my dear Mr. Favre, but sometimes you just need to know when to call it a day.

It seems this knowledge is something the man lacks. After re-retiring, and then just 3-weeks ago going on the record as saying he’s gonna stay retired, he’s back. As a Viking.

Yep, that’s right. Brett Favre is now the QB for the Minnesota Vikings.

Granas Table

UPDATE: I FOUND ONE! This table was $100 at Ikea, plus tax. I got it unassembled on Craigslist (fit into my car!) for $50. Super easy to put together, and at over 50% savings, this is truly my kind of deal. I’m totally happy now :)

I’m sad/pissed/frustrated/upset/mad/at a loss for words. Ugh, so many emotions. Basically I had found a coffee table I really really liked. I’m pretty picky about coffee tables, and it’s hard to find one that I like that also goes with the decor of the living room. But I did it. I found the perfect coffee table: Ikea Granas Series.

I’ve been waiting to purchase it because I want to make absolutely certain that once the new TV and couches are selected, I still love this table in reference to its surroundings. Also gotta make sure the dimensions suit the setup of the room. So I waited.

Faith

Mario sent me this picture

(click image  to see all of it – I can’t get it to not cut off…)

Basically this is saying: Ignore reality; just believe whatever we tell you. What kind of advertisement is this? Perhaps it’s a cult. Either way, I’m totally fascinated by their method of trying to get people in the door.
