The Up side of Down….

*Last day of April. I seriously cannot get over how fast the month goes by…unless I am on a treadmill then it seems to last forever. Maybe they say the key to living a long life is the treadmill because it just feels like you are there forever. :) *I like to leave dead flies in the windowsills as a warning to any bugs who might be thinking about coming into the house. It’s like hey let’s check out this house it looks nice…oh wait…is that Chuck? Chuck buddy what happened? OMG you are dead Chuck. They killed Chuck we can’t go in there. Morbid I know. And don’t worry I don’t think bugs can talk. Plan to torture and mess with me yes if they are spiders, but talk no. *I wish I liked camping. I mean real camping the cheap kind. I used to like it as a kid until I realized peeing in the woods isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and I really do like a shower vs. a film of dirt. I like the kind of camping that has a rustic cabin. And by rustic I mean this. Anyway I … [Read more...]

First off congrats to #41 Lynn G for being the winner of my absent minded cookbook ordering. Please see the contact section of this blog and email me your address and get it out to you! Congrats. To those who are sad about not winning coming up next week (on the blog birthday) there will be some other opportunities. :) Also my first post is up over on Tablespoon. If you would like to show me some support over there that would be awesome. And for those who were wishing I was sharing my cocktail making skills of my youth you are in luck as pretty much every post over at Rock UR Party involves a cocktail of some sort. :D You know you love that. In other news while making this bread pudding I learned the valuable lesson of not putting whole Whoppers into the bowl when the whisk is at full speed. In good news I evented the Whopper comet…which could probably take an eye out. So if you don’t like someone invite them over and put Whoppers into your mixer when they are standing near … [Read more...]

Best of friends…

January 4, 2012 by · 19 Comments

I don’t think best friends work for most adults. I don’t really think they work all that well for kids either but right now I am focusing on the adults. A friend of mine basically started a discussion on how we don’t really have best friends. Most of us had concluded that we had someone we called our best friend but they were back from college or even high school days and in reality knew very little about what was actually going on in our day to day lives. And we all concluded that no one we know lived like a Friends episode. I have this too. The female that most people assume is my best friend still lives in Phoenix. I probably speak to her physically on the phone maybe once a year and we text maybe a few times a month. How is it that this person is expected to be my best friend? It’s a good question and the one that we have been mulling over. I think one thing that comes into play is that people end up marrying their best friend kind of thing. When you used to run and … [Read more...]

Getting over it…

November 5, 2011 by · 15 Comments

"Negative thinking destroys your brain cells and causes global warming. Source: The Scientific Institute of GetOverIt!" Saw this. It made me laugh. I really wish there was a Scientific Institute of GetOverIt. We should totally build one in Laid Back Land. I especially love when you give someone an answer and they don’t like that answer, so they keep asking. Only to get the same answer from you. Only to piss them off. The answer isn’t going to change. So get over it and move on. Is it the answer you want, no. Is it the one you have to deal with, yes. When I asked my parents for a Nintendo when I was a teen the answer was no. No matter how many times I asked or annoyed them, I never got one. I was told feel free to save up for one. Which I didn’t. So I didn’t get one. End of story. Not getting your way happens a lot, at least to me. Probably to most people. Life is compromise. Life becomes hard for you when you can’t compromise. When you can’t compromise you don’t … [Read more...]
