YouTube Love

I've been loving YouTube lately. Sometimes when I'm a little bored at work I just look for fun things to watch. It's great!

While I don't support Fox News... I do support this SNL skit. It's hysterical!


I adore Tina Fey.

Organization

Last night I organized my bedroom... got rid of stuff I didn't need, straightened things up, dusted, cleaned... just overall made things pretty again. I love a clean room. Too bad I HATE cleaning and can't seem to keep my life de-cluttered.

Today I'm diving into finances. I've done this before and never stuck with it... but I'm really going to try this time. I did a balance transfer with my credit card. I'll have 12 months of 0% APR. I should be able to make a decent dent in that amount of time. If I pay 300 bucks a month for a year I should be in good shape! I can do this....

I also canceled my land line. I dropped my weight watchers subscription down from going to meetings to just online. I canceled my netflix. I reduced my DirecTV pacakge.

I made up a budget. I really hope I can stick to it.

Please oh please wish me luck!!

Yikes. Clearly 90210 is going to have to go.... but it still hurts.

Tupperware Extravaganza

My aunt recently started selling Tupperware (HOORAY!) and I’m hosting an ‘online’ Tupperware party for her. So if any of you are interested in some good old fashioned to go containers I've come to the rescue! It will be open for two weeks. You can order whatever you suits your fancy, and then the items will ship directly to you! I know it’s not as fun as gathering round, seeing a riveting demonstration and eating bad for you foods, but let’s be honest it’s just easier this way.

A few of my favorite items?

Plus, you can prepare patties ahead of time and then store in the freezer for later use. The 1½"/3.8 cm deep press ring lets anyone can create thin or thick patties that are always uniform in diameter. Each keeper holds up to 1/3 lb. of uncooked ground meat. Keepers are stackable in the fridge, as the groove on bottom forms a seal for the next keeper on the stack.

This set also doubles as a great cookie maker - especially for ice cream cookies!

Slack Ass

It's been brought to my attention that jeanniew has yet again been neglected. Tragic, I know. I guess I've just not had much to say to the general public (and by general public I am referring to the only two people who might still possibly read this).

But I'll give it a go and see what comes out....

Big news on the food front -- I ate mushrooms and olives tonight. Both of which I really hate. But I was at a friends house and she whipped up this cheesy bread with olives and shrooms on it. I mean really, it couldn't have been red peppers and brocoli? That would have been amazing. But I felt rude picking off each piece of diced olive... or digging through the cheese to find all of the shrooms. And I sort of refused to ignore the toasted french bread smothered in cheese, so I just ate them. And you know what? I survived! I still don't really like either of them, but at least I know eating fungus won't actually kill me.

I also mowed the lawn tonight. No matter what is going on inside while I'm mowing the lawn Maddie sits by the back door and watches me go back and forth, back and forth. It's adorable. Or at least as adorable as anything related to lawn mowing can be. Then when I'm done the back yard I let her out and she sits by the gate and watches me do the front lawn. How did I not used to like dogs? The unconditional love pouring out of them is amazing. Even if I forget to feed her... and it's 10pm and I think SHIT! Brown dog needs food.... she still loves me and wags her tail even though the poor thing is starving.

So here's to the pup....

...and not having to mow the lawn again for 8 days!
