For some reason I am STARVING this morning...not sure why since I didn't eat any less then normal. My stomach keeps growling very loudly. Fortunately the guy in the cube next to me is out today and the guy who sat on the other side got fired a couple months ago...so no one can hear it (I hope.)
In an effort to find a small snack I turned to my desk drawer where I have an assortment of really old candy, a really old mini pack of oreos and a really old bag of chips. I went for the really old mini milky way and now I have a strange taste in my mouth. It's kind of like sour milk (which is interesting since it was a milky way.) Can milky ways go bad?
Completely unrelated...congrats to Teresa and Juicy Joe (from Real Housewives of NJ) on another baby girl. Can you imagine if it had been a boy?

Role Models
The bad behavior exhibited by public figures of late (hello...Kanye, Serena Williams and Rep. Joe Wilson) has got me thinking. In the shower to be specific, which is where my "grand" thoughts tend to hit me.
Is everyone entitled to a freak out now and then? Absolutely. In fact, K would probably say that I average 3-25 random freak outs per week. But, these happen in the privacy of my own home around people who (I hope) will love me no matter how crazy I act.
The way a famous person acts during a televised event is a totally different animal. These people chose to be in the spotlight and need to recognize the responsibility that comes with the fame. I get that we all make mistakes, but what I wish that celebrities would realize is that they are role models and should act that way.
Whether you want it or not, if you are a famous...singer, athlete, politician, whatever...you are going to have kids looking up to you. So many kids today are rude and undisciplined already, so they really don't need to see those behaviors reinforced in their icons.
Curbing the bad behavior of celebrities is a battle that will never end. I know it is idealistic to hope that before a celeb does something rude in public they would consider all of the children who are going to see what they do and think it is "cool," but I can hope.
So that's my rant for the day...and way to go Beyonce for being a positive role model and a classy lady!

True Blood
If you have not watched this show...you should. K and I spent the bulk of Friday and Saturday watching season 1 and I seriously can not wait until season 2 comes out on dvd so I can buy it. I think HBO should give me something free for all the money I spend buying their shows on dvd. On the one hand it may be cheaper to buy the channel...but then again I am so used to watching a whole season of HBO shows very quickly I don't know if I could wait from week to week to see what happens!
But really...watch True Blood...it's great.

Rainy Friday Rambling
It's pouring rain here today and doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.
Too bad the rain boots I ordered are not getting delivered until Monday. What do you think?

I have been really wanting Hunter's but just couldn't justify spending that much on rain boots. These seem to have the same style and were much more reasonably priced, yet not just cheap knockoffs. They also had really good reviews from the other people who bought them. I'm pretty excited since I can't even remember the last time I owned rain boots and they will definitly come in handy walking Hanna!
Since it is so yucky out K and I are going to hang out at home tonight and start watching Season 1 of True Blood. As if I don't have enough TV shows already!
Happy {rainy} Friday!

Football Season
warning...pointless post ahead:
I am going to bare my soul here, it is my blog after all...I just spent about an hour trying to write a cute poem in the style of "The Night Before Christmas." That is a much longer poem that I anticipated, either that or my ability to change the words in songs (and poems) to make them funny has rapidly declined since my sorority days.
Anyways, the gist of my failed poem was about how I think football is totally boring. Which isn't funny when you just come out and say it.
Now I could list all the reasons why I feel this way about football, but after my poem disappointment I just don't feel like it.
In the hopes of finding something amusing to add I googled "anti football."
This is what I found.
Aren't the random things you find on the internet funny?
(and yes, I realize people could say the same thing about this blog!)

Sparrow?
I actually like some "weird" celebrity baby names (like Harlow)...but Sparrow...for a boy? I don't get it.
Just had to put that out there...
