Snickerdoodles

Wow… this blogging thing is hard stuff to do. Really. I don’t know how people that know nothing about HTML do it. Wait, I know absolutely nothing about HTML, just whatever information I can find online through numerous stressed induced Google sessions. I just spent the better part of my evening looking for a new layout that was XML formatted for the “new” Blogger, but of course I didn’t find any I really liked. I did find a few I liked that were HTML based (is this even the right terminology?)… so I went for it. This might not be much to you, but what you see here is the result of a few hours of hard clicking, copying, pasting, and Googling. So yeah, I am kinda proud of myself. It’s like a baby taking its first steps, sure EVERYONE else can walk, but it’s a big thing for the kid. This was a big deal. Don’t ruin it, let me feel smart and awesome and “geeky”.

Stuffed Pasta Shells

AFC CHAMPIONS: New England Patriots ( 21-12 San Diego Chargers)

NFC CHAMPIONS: New York Giants (23-20 (OT) Green Bay Packers)

Check out who made the Super Bowl.

The Hubby and I were supposed to make it over to a friend’s house in time to watch the New England/Chargers game, but as usual, we were late. We overslept. The good news is (well maybe it’s not GOOD news) I knew the Pats were going to win. Even though we missed practically the whole game I don’t feel THAT bad, it’s not like I’m surprised by the outcome. But I suppose since it’s the play-offs EVERY game is worth watching. Yeah yeah yeah. I’ll try and catch the highlights of this game a little later.

I can barely type this without laughing. Hubby and I just watched that kid’s show, “Hip Hop Harry” and WOW… too funny.

I like kid shows. Really. They offer a source of entertainment you just don’t get anywhere else. The acting is awful, the songs are terrible, and usually the concepts are cheesy.

Chocolate Cake

There is a huge disconnect between what I want to know and what I actually know.

I would love to talk and about History, Current Events, Poetry, Literature, Science, the Performing Arts, Politics, etc. I crave the ability to intelligently converse on a wide range of topics.

I find it frightening that I’m more interested in VH1, MTV, Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel. It’s scary that my comic book collection is noticeably larger than any other collection of books I own. How come I can explain the dynamics of the relationships on “Big Brother”, “Bad Girls’ Club”, and “The Real World” but can’t for the life of me tell you what platforms the potential Presidential candidates are running on? Why can’t I remember anything important I ever learned in school, but can practically quote “Zoolander” word-for-word?

Chicken and Dumplings

When I was a kid, I wanted to play:

Photobucket

I was talked out of it.

A friend of my mom called me up and asked me if I had ever broken a leg, dislocated a shoulder, or sprained a finger. Of course the answer to all those questions was “No”. I fancied myself a tomboy; able to play rough with the boys and not get hurt. But… I was effectively scared into “safer” activities.
