Best gift ever

Get this for everyone on your list. And me. I'm not kidding. I really do want this.

Must Read

We all love I can has cheezburger and I can has hot dog and such, I mean cute animals make everyone happy.

This blog takes it a step further...

lazy-ass

This is hilarious:


This is my lazy pile of fur:


I know I could never handle energy like that crazy snow-dog, but come on - mine is sleeping with 2 blankets and a pillow. Seriously.

McCreeping

McDonald's new ad campaign for McNuggets is cracking me up.

Cheating

My husband's family must be terrified of buying each other something the other doesn't like. Either they're all terrible at pretending they love it or they don't know enough about each other to make educated guesses on gifts. I won't say which option I believe is to be true**, but the list-making was a new concept for me when I joined this family. Everyone makes lists of things they want and nothing is bought that's not on the list. I've even transferred the lists into my side of the family. I've got my mom buying me gifts off of both my and my husband's list.

On one hand, I love it - it's like having my own personal wedding registry every year. On the other hand, I'm doing exactly what I did with my wedding registry - cheating. I already know today (12/7) what I'm getting for my holiday gifts. I asked for a camera and I know I'm getting it, so I'm reading the manual online now. This way, when I open it on Christmas, I can work it right away :).

I am a bad person.


**sidenote - my father-in-law never makes a list. One year my sister-in-law bought him Arthur 2: On the Rocks (the Dudley Moore movie). Another year, my husband bought him a cake from the grocery store. This may help explain the need for lists in this family...

I just want her to succeed

I have insomnia and when I wake up in the night, this is in my head. I think somehow, she has put subliminal messages in there so that I can't get it out of my head. I don't even like it. I mean, she looks great - but she also looked incredibly sad in that MTV "documentary".

I do love me some Britney though and let's hope that whatever cocktail of meds they have her on and whatever lockdown they keep her on works out.

stressed

I am very stressed these days and I can't seem to find a healthy/ productive/ sensible way to deal with my stress. So far, I have tried crying, yelling, fighting with my husband, not getting out of bed, slamming my office door in people's faces and eating copious amounts of salami.

Here's what I should be doing: exercising and not procrastinating. Today on WikiHow, there was a highlighted article on how to not procrastinate, so here is my tip o' the day:

"Focus on starting, instead of on finishing"**














**look people, I'll try anything.
