So I admit Im an American Idol follower. I Have Crystal and Lee picked as the final two, but I would buy Andrew Garcias album if he filled it with this stuff…
On March 15th my husband and I welcomed our daughter into this crazy world. This epic event was the cause of my 4 week blogging hiatus. During that time I came up with dozens of blog entry themes and I even kept track of them in my iphone app specifically designed to help me remember things, but alas…I deleted it. So it looks like I have to start from scratch….
Today I was debating what to cook for dinner. I decided that since I will be away for the weekend I would treat my husband to one of his favorite meals, Chicken Parmigiana.
I took out the chicken breasts which I had just bought from Costco, and HOLY HANNA! These beasts are massive. I have no idea what kind of chicken could possibly hold herwieght with breasts like these. I mean these are the Pamela Anderson sized Chicken breasts.
So this little picture made me laugh….
Best of the superbowl commercials.
PS. GO SAINTS GO!
I heard on the radio today that January 18th is the most depressing day of the year. Due to the extra christmas baggage, weight and debt finally catching up to peopel, I guess this day has been deemed the most depressing of the year.
When I had heard this I actually chuckled. I was having a great day and I still am! But for a moment I actually thought…”hmmmm, what can I be depressed about?”
And then as my mind kept moving I decided that that is exactly why we have ‘The Most Depressing Day of the Year’….because rather than thinking abotu what we can be thankful for and how we are blessed, we think of all the crap that has happened to us and then we dwell on that. Believe me, I could think of a thing or two to be depressed about; stretch marks, debt, losing a good friend, being serperated from great friends, etc…
But there are so so so many things to be thankful for and by choosing to focus on those, I am choosing to focus on the future. Sure life gets me down sometimes, but that just means that we change some things to fix our little messes. Im not sure when the happiest day of the year is, but Im going to do some research and if there isn’t one yet, I will start one. Look for it on your 2010 calendars everyone!
Using Ping.fm to update my status’s. What a time saver!
January is a big month, full of events that many of us had no clue even existed. While everyone is busy trying to stop smoking for the 8th year in a row or dropping the 20lbs that have been haunting them since graduation, others are celebrating the month of January for different reasons.
January 2010 is:
I have an obsession with lists. It’s a deep rooted infactuation with getting things done. I have 3 different iPhone apps for lists and numerous note pads around the house.
Each day I make a list of things I need to get done an it is not often that I stop before each thing is checked off. On top of thAt each night I make a list of tasks to accomplish the next day.
Often the best part of my day revolves around checking something off of my list.
If you have never watched these on youtube….YOU HAVE TOO!
These are the literal versions of some pretty hilarious music video’s. My favorite is Total Eclipse of the Heart….
Over the last week, I have had this constant love-hate relationship with Maccers. The smell is so tempting, but the after effects are so devistating. And like many others, I keep going back.
I decided to do a little bit of research into why the world is so infactuated with this fast food mothership. What keeps us saying ” Im lovin it” when deep down inside we know we will end up hating it within a few hours? Many of these things may or may not be true, but the WILL be interesting.
