Super Bowl

It truly was a Super Bowl.
A great big Congrats to The New Orleans Saints for one heck of a ball game.
I watched most of the game and it was a bit of a nail biter.
Being from Tn I guess I am suppose to be a Colt's fan.
I can't help but go against the norm.
So last night I rooted for the Saints.
This being their first Super Bowl and the fact that they are one of five NFL teams who up until last night had never played in a Super Bowl.
With that said let's get to the important stuff....
The commercials.
My favorite was this little gem from Doritos.


I also really liked the Career Builder.com one

followed by this one from Budweiser. They ALWAYS have some of the best commercials.




So those are my favorites. Which ones did you like ????

Bloggy Award for my peeps

Ok so I have seen all the cool blog awards that are floating around.
Some are cute.
Some are sweet.
Some are funny.
But none seem to say exactly the right thing to me.

The following blogs are being awarded my first ever blog award.
In no particular order....

also sorry the award while I think it's dead on is not quit as artistically fab as some of the others you may have received. I am a total stoog when it comes to paint and paint.net. I would love to have been able to put a snazzy border on it. But alas that is beyond may abilities.
Just know that it comes from the heart and was "homemade" just for you guys :o)
It's the thought that counts right ?

Guilty Pleasures

So Kristie over at The Geek and The Belle posted a list of her 10 guilty pleasures.
I decided I would post my top 10 as well so here goes.....

 
1. Hoarders on A&E. I am so hung up on this show. I watch it in total disbelief. Then I get up and go a little OCD on things in my house.

 
2. Dirty Jobs. I LOVE, LOVE,LOVE this show.
It's very entertaining, mildly eductional, and it hosted by Mike Rowe. What other reason do you need :o)
3. Massages. I mean who doesn't like these :o)
4. People and Us magazines :o)

 
5. Chilis chips and salsa. Yummmmmmm
6. Hot baths with good smelling bath stuff and a great book. I can literally spend hours sitting in the tub. I have been known to stay so long that the water gets cold and I will drain out some and turn the hot tap back on to heat the water back up.
 
7. Glittery, sparkly, shiny things. Like candle holders or those little decor balls that you put in glass containers. I can stare at those things all day.
 
8. Craigslist free stuff ads. I have never gotten anything from here but I love to look. I like to check out the garage sales and the barter section too. BTW this site is hilarious

 
9. The Vampire Diaries. This is the guilty pleasure of everyone in my house right now. We all gather up on Thursday nights to watch.
I am team Damon
Megan is team Stefan and John well I'm not sure but he's just happy that they follow the "vampire rules" much more closely than the goobers in Forks.

 
10. Bejeweled Blitz on Face Book. This thing sucks up more of my time than laundry. I am however working on kicking this addiction. I just have to get my score higher than Johns and then I'm done :o)
So there's my list.
What are yours ?????

This will piss off a lot of people :o)




is AMAZED and DUMBFOUNDED by people who think Haiti doesn't need our help!!! We can not control natural disasters or even which race, family, or country we are born into. As American's we should be happy that we are in a position to help. The shoe could be on the other foot. Would we want people to help us?
(this nugget was posted by a friend as her Face Book status)

Since I am a giant uneducated ass on my good days this post will probably piss off just about everybody.
But you know what, opinions are like assholes everybody has one and they usually stink.
So behold my asshole...
I mean my opinion.
Feel free to share yours and tell me how stupid, heartless, and uneducated I am.
Bring it,
because unlike some I can take it.
While I agree that Haiti needs help I am upset by the fact that everyone seems so gung ho to give, give, give, to Haiti but turn a blind eye to the people in our community that are being foreclosed on, have no electricity, and no food to feed their kids. We have kids in our community that are hungry. The only meal they get in a day is the one that they get at school. They get nothing on the weekends. These are not the children of parents who don't strive for better for their children, or parents that until recently could provide those things and more for their children. These are people that you see everyday, that are in serious need of help. People you know that are going without basic needs right here in America.
"As American's we should be happy that we are in a position to help."
if only this statement was true.
Perhaps this person lives in a different America than I do. I have friends who have lost jobs. Jobs that they have had for years with companies that were once strong and folks were proud to say they worked for. People that lived as most folks do pay check to pay check.
Working to make a better life for themselves and their families.
Proud people.
Honest hard working employees that have lost their livelihoods.
I am not sure that America in all her glory is in a position to take care of people around the world when her own economic structure is in the toilet.
So be amazed and dumbfounded by me because I believe that we need to take care of our own first and then do what we can for others after.
Also if the shoe was on the other foot I have little doubt that America would be left to solve her own crisis and take care of her own people.
I don't remember Haiti or any other country holding a telethon for the victims of Katrina or Andrew. I don't recall tons of volunteers from outside the U.S. rushing to help in the search for survivors or to render aide to those people affected by the attack on the World Trade Center.
I also understand that the situation in Haiti is dire and that the loss of life there is great.
I am not a cold hearted bitch.
Well maybe I am.
I understand that the people of Haiti need help.
I just wish that people wouldn't forget those that are in their "back yard" struggling.

1 in 50 Children in US is Homeless

In and out of classrooms, sleeping in shelters, shielded by parents, homeless children can seem invisible to society at large.

A national study released Monday finds that one in 50 children in America is homeless. They're sharing housing because of economic hardship, living in motels, cars, abandoned buildings, parks, camping grounds or shelters, or waiting for foster care placement.

"That is something that I don't think most people intuitively believe to be true," said Ellen Bassuk, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and president of the National Center on Family Homelessness.

The national center last did such a report 10 years ago, and numbers of children without a permanent place to sleep are growing.
Taken from this website but can be backed up all over.

Are these children less important than those in Haiti ?????


I sure as hell hope not.

Some Paul Rudd and Andy Samberg for your Friday with a little update on the side.

Woo Hoo
Just a quick little post today.
Sorry I have been a bit absent as of late.
My mom and I have been shopping for Miss Megan some clothes and I have been going to job interviews.
I was offered one job, but because of the pay and the (ridiulously) small amount of hours they wanted I turned it down.

Today I went for my second interview at a local vet clinic.
I must have been having a good hair day, because as long as my references check out I'm in.
Since I got to pick the references I am hoping that I am a shoe in.
Don't want to jinx it but I am happily optimistic about this one.
It's decent hours and a good pay rate :o)
So everyone keep their fingers crossed for me :o)

And just for giggles here's Paul Rudd and Andy Samberg.
This is too funny.

Woo Hoo

It's Friday
FRIDAY !!!!
I am so glad it's Friday.
We have a long weekend because of the Monday holiday. Plus it is actually warmer here today. Well it suppose to get up to around 50. Yee Haw. We haven't seen those temps in a good while. This arctic air and freezing fog stuff is for the birds or at the very least the Canadians :o)


As if it could get any better the


sun has come out of hiding. It should up here yesterday and will hang around (if you can believe the local meteorologist (lying Bastard) til later tomorrow. Then we will be drowned


with up to 2 inches of rain. Like we need more of that :o(
But today is Friday, the sun is out, and we are going to a hockey game tonight :o)
Now off to wash my car and get a haircut. Then all will be right with the world.
At least for a few blissful minutes anyway.
Happy Friday to everyone :o)


Tallahassee
Yee Haw
