Ten. Or nine. Whatever.

  1. Asia and I switch cars fairly regularly. It used to be that the Trailblazer was always mine and the Mazda was always his - but with me driving across town four days a week, it makes more sense for me to take the car that gets the best gas mileage on those days. It's never a problem in the Trailblazer, since it's a really smart car and knows how to adjust the seat depending on which key fob opens the door. If it's Asia's, it sets the seat to his settings, and if it's mine, it magically knows I'll be the one driving. But in Asia's car - the Mazda - we have to manually move the seat. And both of us think the other one's seating preferences are completely whacked. Asia likes to sit with the seat back WAY straight. I'd venture to say it's even beyond straight, and actually pushing you up toward the steering wheel. I prefer to lean back, which Asia thinks is completely ghetto. It's a miracle we've stayed married all these years.
  2. American Idol... while we find ourselves hardly ever watching t.v. anymore, we are still taping American Idol. We're just tonight watching the girls from last week... we watched the boys last night - and now they're already taping again tonight. I don't have any real stand out favorites yet... I have a few people I've got my eye on, but no one has really wowed me yet. We shall see... this is probably my least favorite part of the show, when they're weeding out the ones who just don't have the ability to make it work on the big stage. My favorite is when we get to the top 12...
  3. My new favorite find at the grocery store? Thomas Bagel Thins. Yum!!! I love a bagel - and for only one WW point - these are REALLY a good thing. My favorite thing so far is to have one with some reduced fat Laughing Cow cheese... SO yummy.
  4. I have crocus blooming outside in my flower beds. Did I tell you that already? Maybe so. Either way - it's a happy thing. I don't recall ever seeing them before April. Yay for a mild winter!
  5. I was rockin' the coupons this week at Albertson's and Safeway... there were some amazing frozen food deals to be had. My freezers are full TO THE BRIM.
  6. Ethan had his first wrestling tournament on Saturday. It was a short take-down tournament. He won all three of his matches... he's really showing his years of experience now after doing it for four years... it's fun to see his skills begin to really shine as it all comes together for him.
  7. I'm finishing up 20 cards this week for a card exchange with some dear internet friends. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with - the talent pool is amazing in this group. And I desperately need some new cards... it'll be great to have some variety again.
  8. I've been horrible about posting pictures lately... got to try to be better about that. Truth is, I've hardly taken any pictures lately. Guess that would help...
  9. I gave up Facebook for Lent... I don't miss the time I wasted there at all - but I hate not being able to be in touch with friends as easily as I can there. I hate that I haven't been able to see what everyone's up to... somehow, after Easter, I'll have to figure out how to benefit from the good things about Facebook without getting sucked in the same way I have in the past.

That's all. My brain is totally empty.

Happy Tuesday!

  2. I haven't picked any real favorites on Idol yet this year either. Could be an interesting year.

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
