HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY 2009

Break out the green outfits and the corned beef and cabbage..

To read some info on truth and myths about who St. Patrick actually was.. click here. Turns out he didn't actually drive snakes out of Ireland! I feel like I have been lied to my whole life!

I love the Twilight books.. but check this blog out. Whoa. Someone has some time on their hands. :)

Erica,
I know I said I wanted you to make an animal costume for Claire.. but I found this and I think it would be better. You could even start making these and selling them on your Etsy page!?


Nici - I think this would be a great Christmas present for Trotter!

Random Thoughts from last night...

I think people who can play instruments on American Idol should get extra points... or something. Ecspecially the blind kid who plays the piano. I mean.. come on! That is good!


When you go to tell your 3yr old to stop singing in her bed and go to sleep.. and you are rubbing her hair... and whispering sweet nothings in her ear.... and she is almost asleep...

Don't.. I repeat.. DON'T tell her to "close your peepers".

This DOES NOT help her to settle down, but causes her to erupt in a fit of giggles. I may have well said "poop" or "tooted" or something like that. Apparently "peepers" is one of the funniest things she has ever heard.

ALWAYS say the word "eyes". Lesson learned.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

Melissa from the Bachelor is going to be joining the cast of Dancing with the Stars!! She is replacing Nancy ODell who has a torn something or other in her knee! I can't wait!

My prediction is.. she will fall in love and marry her partner and they will live happily ever after..

Or.. he will confess his love and then change his mind as soon as filming stops.


See story here.

It's March.. and that means It is SPRING!!!!

Whoops! Those are spring rolls.. haha.. silly me. I mean.. yeah! It's spring! Flowers.. rain!!!

Dear Barbie,

I wanted to write you this quick note to let you know how much I love you. Even if my family hates you because I am obsessed with you and now have low self esteem and an eating disorder.
All my life I put you on a pedestool.... something to strive for. You are so beautiful and have such luxerious hair.. Who else can look so good in hot pink stretch pants?!

I tried to be just like you. I had ribs removed so my waist would be tiny and a killer boob job. I constantly wear high heals and now have foot and ankle problems, but I look good.

I focused so much on looking good that I failed out of high school. The good news is that I got my little sister to change her name to Skipper and I even found a hunky guy named Ken to date. Things are about perfect!

I also wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday!

Love,
Jill

(Yeah Right. Click here if you don't know what I am making fun of.. )

I just finished listening to my audio book over lunch. I have been REALLY into it. Maybe a little addicted even. I pulled out of the parking lot and headed to Walmart to get some groceries.. listening to the book.. and then I sensed it.

The book was about to be over.

Within 3 minutes the book was done and I didn't have another in the car. I had to.. just.. Drive.

I have already reserved another audio book from the library. My coworker says this one doesn't have swear words so I can listen to it with Kate in the car. I will have to stop and grab it on my way to the gym tonight. If I can make it all the way to the gym...

Question

How long can a can of pinapple that is in a tupperware container last for? Would you say a week? I grabbed some from the Fridge to take to work as part of my lunch and I am sitting here wondering when I put this in there.. I think it was only a week ago. It doesn't taste too bad. I close my eyes... I am sitting on the beach and a Cabana boy is feeding it to me while I lay on a chaise lounge.. in a sparkly bikini.. covered in tanning oil. MMM.. that is better.
