A few things I refrain from if all possible. Cutting class. Sitting with my back to the door or the vast majority of people in a room or ‘the teeming masses.’ Watching things like Blues Clues [sometimes, when babysitting . . .]
A few things I do not do. Eat tomatoes. Watch Teletubbies [period]. Cry.
Two of [...]

What I Want

Food Pick
This food is old enough to be my grandparent, yet I never ‘discovered’ it until I went to Germany.
Never fear, however, it can be obtained at your local Wally World.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: Nutella.
This past summer before I scored a minifridge from the neighbors, I subsisted on fast food and items that could [...]

My Philosophy of Laundry
Somewhere are written the Rules of Laundry. I don’t know where they are—maybe under a lid of a washing machine, or in some mothers’ handbook—but in my 4 years of college I’ve broken every one of them.
I’ve washed whites with colors, bright red shirts with everything else, even brand-new jeans with the rest of my [...]

Pet Peeve 1: “You’re NOT fat!”
I’m starting a series on pet peeves.
I know, I just started a ‘Pick of the Week’ series, but I promise you won’t be overrun with methodical posts. For one thing, I doubt I will remember to do the pick of the week every week. Actually, I doubt I will find 52 somethings worthy in the [...]

Chex Mix
I love chex mix of all kinds. The storebought (40% less fat!!! . . . .than potato chips fried in lard and leftover grease from the hamburgers) kind, the homemade kind, the kind where you don’t have enough M&Ms or pretzels or unidentifiable crumbs in the bottom of your backpack to make a full [...]

Rundown on the Week
OK, so if you haven’t been watching the news, here’s a recap! Why waste your time reading authoritative sources when you could just come here and get it all in a neat, tidy, opinionated package?
1) Obama’s minister made some stupid comments. Obama gave a brilliant, well-delivered speech which said basically: “Well I patently disagree with [...]

Pick of the Week 1
I’ve decided I’m going to do this thing called ‘pick of the week’ where I point out something random I’ve found. I may have known about it for a long time and just want to enrich your life. Or it could be something I’ve recently discovered and feel the need to invite you to do the same. Basically it [...]

I accuse Myself of hypocrisy
Wrestling and boxing are OK, but I’ve never really been a huge fan.
I have always scoffed at things like the WWF. Fake, oiled macho men on steroids – whose best assests are their lack of brains, matted hair, deep voice – doing scripted albeit semi athletic moves.
Yet I love UFC. Ultimate Fighting Championship is basically an [...]

Question
By now I’m assuming everyone knows about the big ‘incident’ with Obama’s minister. This post is not about the incident itself but the news reports about it. Below is an excerpt from msnbc. The whole article is here. Oh, and I ditto their disclaimer, just so you know.

If I live it, I mean it
As this blog is basically for public consumption I don’t usually vent anything personal (as in personal life, not as in personal feelings about the world. That I do quite often). I don’t often bare my soul publicly. Since it IS, however, my blog and I can do whatever I want, I am about to and [...]
