What would be your dream job?
I, personally, would LOVE Rachel Ray's job. Yeah, I know she works a lot and she's entirely too perky. She has 85 TV shows for God's sake. But check out how fun it would be.
a.) She gets paid for cooking. How fun would that be? I love to cook. I love to try new recipes. Afterall, I am a self acknowledged recipe whore.
b.) She gets to travel all over the place meeting all kinds of cool people, trying nifty restaurants and eating different kinds of foods. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE to eat?
c.) She gets to meet the coolest celebrities. I'm NOT a celebrity junkie by any means. I mean, they are just people who get a lot of attention and put their pants on one leg at a time just like you and me. They're not extra special. They're just "popular". BUT - when you get to go to work and sit down and chat with the likes of Shemar Moore and maybe The "Rock", well. . . life wouldn't suck too much. Can we all say it together - "Gorgeous!!" Shemar Moore is just stunningly beautiful and HE is who brought sexy back. The Rock - well, he's just a well-defined, chizeled speciman of a man. Just pretty to look at. It wouldn't hurt my feelings at all to have to sit down and chat with him. All in a day's work, right?
Do you see how her job just rocks?!?! All of the above is not to mention all the other cool perks she gets with her job. She gets to manage a magazine, write cookbooks, get free stuff, and get paid to cook. Oh yeah, I said that already.
Yep - I'd love her job. But sadly, I'm not nearly perky and peppy enough. I need a Vivarin just thinking about it.
I saw this video on Good Morning America this morning and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! It is for every single mom on the planet. This lady has put together a serious list of "momisms" that we ALL use everyday with our kids and has put them into a song with the music to the William Tell Overture. It is hilarious!
No matter how old your kids are, you WILL relate. If your kids are little, you may actually learn a few new ones. If your kids are grown, you will laugh at the sheer number of momisms that you used during their lifetime. I STILL use the one "Were you raised in a barn?" quite often.

Boiling lava hot Hot Pockets. Cracks me UP!
CuteOverload is a site I visit everyday because . . . well. . . it has a lot of really cute pictures. I'm not sure why really, but this one just makes me giggle.

What in the world did I do before Google? Actually read the newspaper? That's so yesterday.
I've had a blog on MSN Spaces for awhile now, but I'm finding that most of my Spaces blog friends have either transitioned over to something else ie.(DeWitte) or just given up blogging altogether so I haven't been getting a lot of attention. :-( DeWitte has been trying to get me to transition over to Vox for a long time, but I didn't want to leave my Spaces friends. Well, now that they have left me. . . here I am.
I've been reading a lot of food blogs lately. I love food. I'm a recipe whore. And I eat as a sport. So food blogs satisfy me on many levels. I love to cook (when I have somebody around to eat it) and I eat just about anything. About the only things that I don't eat are licorice, root beer and raw celery. I've tried them and they didn't work so well for me. AND even though I KNOW that I don't like those things, I watch people who eat licorice and I'm jealous. Licorice eaters LOVE their licorice and they eat it with such fervor. They're also very generous with their licorice. . . "Here, want a piece of this delicious goodness?" I'm always so tempted because they make it look so enjoyable. I always have to remember that my particular taste buds think it's nasty. . . despite how good they make it look. Dang it!
You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on...
If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:
COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
ABBOTT: I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W".
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
(A few days later)
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on "START".............
