Forget being a fan....

I decided it would be easier to list some of the stuff that I would "not be a fan of" on facebook.
10. Assholes who drive, eat, and talk on the phone at the same time
9. Fat people who use being fat as the reason they have a handicap permit(neighbor)
8. socks that twist and the front is all crooked
7. when you go to the bathroom, think you are done, only to have to go back in
6. underwear that creeps up your butt
5. when your boobs pop over the top of your bra
4. that McDonald's food NEVER looks like the pictures
3. the best foods are the ones that are worst for you
2. Starbucks charges a shit load for coffee that is burned
1. Dreams that you are pissed off at someone and then you wake up in a bad mood
Not the best list but true for me!

I'm a fan of being a fan of being a fan of.....

So being a fan of stuff is all the rage on facebook. It seems that you can be a fan of almost anything and I find myself wondering just how you get to create a thing to be a fan of? I recently became a fan of "yelling at the car in front of me" since I do that a lot. Some of them are so ridiculous and make no sense. After drinking out of a styrofoam cup I rip it to shreds? Why would you even like that? Or girls can communicate with each other using just their eyes. Really? I can communicate with almost anyone using just one finger. Does that count? No, I guess not. Here are the things that I think there need to be fan lists for:
1. Having fat fugly neighbors
2. eating left overs b/c I am too lazy to cook
3. hiding from your family on facebook
4. hiding in the bathroom on the phone so your kids cant bother you
5.wondering how to spend your spouse's insurance money if he were to accidentally fall off a cliff
6. why did I have kids anyway
7. why the hell do people even become fans of shit on facebook
8. wanting to smack the hell of your mouthy teenager
9. having to take a test before being able to breed more of your kind
and my favorite...
10. I don't give a shit how you did it when you grew up I do it my way now bitch-who gonna check me boo?

Murder, sheep,fish,cook, breed, oh my!

The person who invented Facebook is evil. The person who invented Zynga games is just, well, a terrorist! Seriously! What better way to cripple the American population than to get them hooked on FB and all the stupid games! I STRESS! Animals need to be fed, crops need to be harvested, there are bad guys to kill and looting to be done, the fish might die, will my sloth breed okay, and is there enough food cooking to feed the guests because I need a bigger diner!!!!
Yes folks at some point I will have to abandon one or more of these games but the stress of leaving something undone makes me nuts! I visit my son's farm and then feel the need to login as him to take care of the crops he doesn't want to bother with. I train their animals for them too! Where does it stop? Sitting on the computer for hours everyday is just insane.
I challenge the population of the USA to go computer free for just 1 weekend. Could you do it? Walk away? NO CHEATING by using your phone either. I don't think most could do it and I think the drug, alcohol, and tobacco companies would profit as most would turn to some other sort of vice to get them through!
Really the best way to attack America would be to disable the internet. No need to kill us...we would ice each other in an attempt to recreate Mafia Wars!

Bed Bath and Beyond....

Okay the funny thing about blogging is that I tend to compose the BEST blogs in my head as I lay down at night. Hence I have not kept up my pledge to post daily!.
Bedtime is a nightmare for me. Most people lay down at night with the hopes of :
A. Sleeping through the night
B. Sleeping for more than 4 hours in a stretch
c. Sleeping without being kicked and rolled on
D. Sleeping in general
I don't get those high hopes. I know that within a few hours Tristan will want to nurse. Yeah, yeah he is too old to need this in the night but the fight.....just the thought makes me want to go back to bed. Then in comes Jeffrey and Delaney. I used to think a King was large bed.....
Move a child, push a child, shove a child-rah rah rah. It's like a bad HS cheer! I have come to realize that sleep is totally overrated. I have yet to sleep through the night since about Jan 1995 when I began multiple trips to the bathroom to pee when I was pregnant with Casey. Sad but true. I don't hold much hope for it getting better anytime soon as I approach the days of a driving teen and middle age! At least it bothers me less and I look forward to the joy of Facebook games and a good cup of coffee from my Kuerig!

Betty Crocker 1961

After watching my new favorite movie I was inspired to take a long look through one of my favorite cookbooks-the Betty Crocker 1961 edition! Yes 1961 is older than me! You really need to see pics to appreciate it so tomorrow I will take some and finish this post. Let's just say that 1961 was a very different and simpler time that I for one would love to return to. Woman's lib was a conspiracy by men to get women to go to work and run the house! WTF?!!
Til tomorrow....

Okay here is the nearly 50 year old book I am referring to!
It is the be all and end all of finding out stuff on cooking. Simple cooking for the most part. That is not what lured me in though. Here are the photos that, as a kid, had me spellbound.
These are bonbons! You know the thing ladies sit around and eat all day? This is them.
The best part of this book is the opening advice. It states, and I quote, "Every morning before breakfast. comb hair, apply makeup and a dash of cologne. Does wonders for your morale and your family's too! Have a hobby. Garden, paint pictures, look through magazines for home planning ideas, read a good book or attend club meetings. Be interested and you will be interesting!"
See ladies? There was a simpler time when your goal was to keep your house and cook for your family. Where did that time go? Why did women go to work and then come home and do all that crap as well? I am here to tell you that I am happy to be a "homemaker" and it is NOT at all fulfilling and easy most days. If you want to feel better about it I suggest watching Brothers and Sisters. Nora summed it up this weekend when she said that she only needed to look at her kids to know that her life's work was worth something! Amen Nora!

Julie and Julia

So here I sit in my comfy chair on a FREEZING day watching this movie. It occurs to me that as stupid as it seems this is quite a cute movie with purpose. I see Julie's ambition to achieve a simple daily task of cooking from a cookbook. Isn't this something we all strive for? Completing tasks? Not like making the bed or putting laundry away(which I should be doing). Just a simple task that means something to the doer! That is the purpose of my blog. I don't know or care who reads it but my goal, albeit a day late, for 2010 is to post SOMETHING daily!
We all do something like this I think. Facebook fanatics play on farmville, yoville, mafia wars...whatever daily. Makes you feel like you accomplished something.
Now of course comes the daunting task of trying to figure out what to write daily. It would be better for me to get off my ass and walk on my new treadmill when I have free time but that is a topic for another day I suppose. But anyway here's hoping for 363 great ideas to blog about for the rest of the year!
Til tomorrow!
