Is it just me??

Is anyone else getting sick of the "cute kid" syndrome in television commercials lately?? Take for instance "Bob" the Quiznos baby. WTF?? He's creepy as hell, more annoying than Morton Downy on crack, and about as appealing as Spam on a saltine. Seriously, I would rather have the weird-ass singing hamsters back. "They got a pepper bar"

The other one that has been pissing me off lately, is one of the MANY sickeningly sweet cutesie kids from the Welches grape juice commercials.

Little pigtailed brunette girl: "Mom says she loves sharing her Welches white grape juice with the whole family, but I think she gets it just for herself"

OK... so you think she gets it just for herself, yet your snot-nosed, selfish and inconsiderate little cakehole is still guzzling down the juice. Probably the ONE thing that mom indulges on for herself.

I know it's not something I should get all riled up about. And to be fair I'm not REALLY. But damn. I don't need a bunch of ankle biting kids to tell me what I should and should not consume. Especially when they aren't even old enough to know the value of a dollar. (Especially MY dollar.)

Fit for the future

I have always been the kind of person that goes up and down in weight. I am in one of my moods again, where I am tired of looking and feeling like a couch potato. I would like to re-join Curves For Women. I was a member some years back and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately at the time I couldn't afford the monthly fee. Hoping I will be able to squeeze it into my budget. I am trying to push the plate away before the plate is empty. I always drink lots of water, but maybe I should drink nothing but for the most part. I HAVE to have my coffee in the morning, and I am fond of the Rummacoka. I know, I know. Alcohol is nothing but empty calories. But I can't deprive myself of every enjoyment! My biggest downfall is sugar. I love the donuts, and chocolate, and cake and PIE! Oh how I love pie.

Now that the holidays are behind us for another 11 months, I don't have temptation staring me in the face everyday. I have been planning on bringing my Thighmaster to work for some time now, and this morning I finally remembered. (Yes I still have a Thighmaster, thank you Susan Somers LOL.) I have found in the past that it really works. I sit at a desk much of the day, so I figure no one will be able to see what i am doing under there. LOL. Anyway, wish me luck.

Mozartballs

Friday night is the private screening party for the film documentary "Mozartballs". I am so excited. Not JUST because my dearest friend, Steph and his wife, Lynette are the featured cast, but also because they really do throw the best parties. He posted his gastronimic itinerary on his blog this morning and it looks like quite the feast! Also, since moving to Stillwater, I have made so many new friends. Dr. Scott will be there. He is a professor of music history at OSU. Also, another friend I met only recently. His name is Jaeson and he is an old friend of Lynette's from high school. Of course Beau will be with me and another new edition to my friendship repertoire, Lashell. I met Lashell last July when I started my job at Express Personnel. We became fast friends and I think we will be for our lifetimes. Yeah, she's a keeper.

Anyway, after living virtually alone for 6 months last Fall/Winter, it's so nice to be able to make plans!!! Yay! It's a party.
