A list of BETTER

Yeah. I said it. Better. A list of BETTER foods that should be fat burners.

(In case you don't know, fat is that stuff that hangs on around my waist after eating cupcakes)

And without Further Ado : A List of Better :

  1. Pizza. With Extra Cheese
  2. Christmas Chocolates
  3. Easter Chocolates
  4. OK, ANY Holiday candy or chocolate
  5. Sugar
  6. Bread, Buns and other assorted carbs.
  7. Butter. REAL butter.
  8. Ice cream bars ( I would also have accepted fudgecicles and creamcicles)
  9. Potato Chips - and dip
  10. Cookies and Chocolate bars
So I guess what I am trying to say is this : If it tastes good and you like to eat large quantities of it while watching Glee? I t should be a fat burner!

Movie Night

Every single Saturday night we, as a family, watch movies. Well, one movie. It's something that we all look forward to doing.

Tomorrow night we wont be doing our normal family movie night, we will be at my dads helping to celebrate my Step Mothers birthday with ~SQUEEE~ Ice cream cake!

If you read my last post, about what the best acne treatments are, you can understand how I am not quite sure what to wear tomorrow. I have a nasty zit on my neck (the back) and I don't really want it visible at the party, if you know what i mean.

At this point my options are either wear a turtle neck or leave my hair down. The issues with the turtle neck is that I hate them with a passion, and the issues with leaving my hair down is that I loathe my hair being down.

So. Basically, win: win, right?

GAH!

30

I'm 30. And while that is not an advanced age by far, it is most definitely advanced enough that I should not have to deal with acne anymore.

And yet, this huge pulsating zit on the back of my neck proves other wise, doesn't it?

One would think that by the age of 30 I should not be sitting here ate half past midnight googling how to treat acne, for crying out loud.

I still remember this one time, about ten, 13 years ago, Micah and I had gone to a get together at some guys house and his roommate came in - it was winter and absolutely freezing outside, and had this white stuff all over his face. Once the roommate had left the room we asked what the hell was going on and what on earth was on his face. Apparently the roommate had heard that putting toothpaste on his zits then holding an ice cube on the toothpaste it would make the zit go away. the roommate had no ice so he simply put toothpaste on his zits and went outside and stuck his face in a snow bank.

I never did hear if he was successful in his acne treatment or not, but to be honest? Even if he was combined with how much I hate the zit growing on the back of my neck, Sticking any part of my body in the snow is NOT in my plans!

GleeK

I downloaded and watched the entire first episode of Glee last month and watched them all, in the tub, on my iTouch. Last week, Micah and I started watching them on the laptop, together. I'm enjoying it just as much the second time around.

We are only four episodes into it, we just watched the episode where Terri talks to Quinn about the best prenatal vitamins - becuase if you don;t take prenatal vitamins your baby will be ugly LMAO.

What I find REALLY funny, though, is that I find myself talking like Emma - The guidance councilor, using the same inflictions she puts on words and the same type of talking. And its not deliberate either! It just comes out of my mouth without me planning it! It's hilarious. Every time I catch myself doing it I stop, and so far, I am pretty sire no one has noticed what Io am doing, but OMG.

Too Funny!

Good Judgment. Use it.

I am tired of commercials for things like erectile dysfunction, hemorrhoid creams and herpes on during prime time hours. Or whatever the hours kids are up are called.

I do not need to tell mt five year old what a herpes is or what "those blue medicines do". How hard is it to wait until after, say, eight PM to air those? and WHY WHY WHY air them in the middle of the day. Most people who those ads are targeted for are at work during the day, so what is the point?

Same with holiday commercials that ruin the season, there were three commercials that hinted at their being no Santa, one was quite bad but luckily, Logan wasn't paying close enough attention to the television to notice!

It's called GOOD judgment, television people, USE IT!

Sad News

Yesterday when my husband got home from work, I had just filled my cup with coffee. As he walked toward the coffee pot to fill his own I mentioned that the coffee wasn't very hot for some reason, and I didn't know why.

He poured himself a cup, sipped it, then put his had on the heater part of the machine and said "It's broken".

I would much rather read a colonix review than hear those words in connection with my coffee pot, to be honest.

We assumed that just the heater had broken and that it would still make coffee, just not... keep it hot, you know?

But, a quarter to eight this morning, if you heard wailing and teeth gnashing, that was me, realizing that it is the Whole machine that is broken, and that I am up, awake, moving, and have NO coffee.

A sad SAD day indeed.

Lost out

I subscribe to a service that is kind of like a recycling program, you take things you no longer need, like say, a twin bed, or toddler clothing, and offer it to the group, that way it goes to someone in need instead of taking up more space in a landfill.

Lots of things can be found there. I've gotten a bed for Logan, Roller Blades for Parker, even some refurbished fitness equipment for myself.

But the item I have really been watching for, finally showed up the day before yesterday, and I missed out.

:o( SAD :o(

See. I have been looking for a baby gate. I need one for the door to Logan's room. His room is a good 20 degrees colder than the rest of the house and we have no idea why. the window is sealed, we cant feel any drafts, the heater is blowing hot air, and at a nice clip too, but his room is freezing. I need the baby gate so we can leave his bedroom door open, to get some of the warm air from the rest of the house circulating in there, but at the same time keep the dogs out.

My big issue is the type of baby gate. I need this specific kind so that Logan can get into his room without having to ask for help or re-set the gate each time, but they are damn expensive.
