My week.

Monday
Harry had hockey, so Cooper and I watched The Muppets. My favorite muppet is Floyd. He’s so cool and laid back – the opposite of me! Cooper’s favorite muppet was the little girl giving Walter the side-eye. Cooper is also a big Chris Cooper fan.

Did I have a soda, candy and popcorn while watching the movie? No. I had celery sticks, apple sauce and water.

Tuesday
I checked in on the roses. After finally getting rid of whatever was eating holes in the leaves, our five rose bushes came down with powdery mildew. And just when they were looking so healthy and lush and were starting to bloom. I had to cut them all back. Boo.

I did my ironing. I hate ironing. Here is a shirt that is supposed to be “no iron”. Grrrr.

Wednesday
Wednesday we got in the car and headed to Temecula‘s wine country (about an hour north of us). Last year Harry gave me a horseback ride and wine tasting lunch for my birthday. We finally got around to doing it. My horse’s name was Rusty and Harry’s was Quincy. It was super hot, and my horse kept fighting me to be in front of the guide, but it was fun!

After our ride we went to Wilson Creek Winery for our wine tasting. Woo hoo!

Then we had lunch. The restaurant was outdoors. They had misters which was lovely on such a hot day. The rolls had cheese on them (yuck), but the crackers were pretty good. I had a (steak) salad.

Thursday
Thursday was the last day of my painting class. Some of the students brought in snacks. One of them brought chocolate cupcakes. I took one because it would have been rude of me to refuse.

Here is the painting I’ve been working on. It’s Franz Marc‘s Red Horses. It’s a little off because the dimensions of my canvas are different from the original. And I still have a lot yet to do. I’m the queen of unfinished projects, but hopefully I’ll keep working on it.

Friday
After dinner at a Mexican restaurant with friends (I had 2 daiquiris, peach and strawberry), Harry and I decided to go to the local dive bar to drink some more. He had beer and some kind of cinnamon shot thing. I had 2 rum and cokes. They have a neat jukebox with bajillions of songs.

We killed zombies, played air hockey (Harry won) and pool (Harry won – maybe it’s because I played this way…).

Saturday
We went to our local farmer’s market. We got some fresh, organic California strawberries.

Then we took the car in to Pep Boys because the air conditioner broke. This would be their second go round trying to fix it (this isn’t our first experience having to bring the car back for a re-repair). After we got there they told us to bring it back another day (after just telling us on the phone to bring it in). After we get it fixed we shall never, ever return. Manny, Mo and Jack can suck it.

We decided to have lunch in Hillcrest. We went to Freebirds World Burrito. It’s kinda like Chipotle, but with more options. Check out my huge burrito:

We sat outside and guess what music was playing? “Black Betty”. I kid you not. Also, I totally didn’t have a brownie or cookie. Willpower!

On the way home we saw this bar. It reminded me of Adam.

Sunday
I didn’t do much. I can’t find my brand of shampoo anywhere anymore, so I used this brand for the first time. It smells like flowers and fruit salad.

I also read, played on the computer and watched tv. Then I worked on Cooper’s exciting post for Monday.

So how was your weekend? And who is your favorite muppet? Let me know in comments!

It’s Taco Time!


Last night I attempted to eat ten Taco Bell tacos. Was it a taco fiesta or a taco fiasco?
Let’s find out.

First we went to Blockbuster, so I’d have something to watch while I was cramming those tacos down.

Probably not the best selection I could make…

Next we went to our neighborhood Taco Bell to pick up our dinner.

Once we got home, I changed into my eating pants (pajamas),

and got my hot sauces ready.

We caught a back episode of Jeopardy.


One of those answers should be “What is Wonder Woman?”. None of them were. Boo!

I got down to business.

Midway, I had to take a break. And then again after tacos 7, 8, 9 and 10.

The last taco almost did me in. The taco shell was soggy and I felt like I was chewing wet paper napkins. Each bite was torture. It wasn’t so much that I didn’t have room, but that I couldn’t stand the taste and texture anymore. God, it was horrible.

But failure wasn’t an option, so I persevered and forced that sucker down.

So now we know:
1) Harry should never doubt me again,
2) I will make myself ill to prove a point and,
3) I will never eat Taco Bell again.

Elimination complete. Please wipe until clean.

Okay, let’s get this over with!  It’s time to boot this week’s player from Biggest Cock and Rudest Loser 2.
The two contestants that are facing elimination are:

FDot &

Adam

But before we announce this week’s loser, here’s a farewell video that Mush selected.
Please enjoy Elton John (and the Muppets) performing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road:

And now, without further blah blah blah, this week’s eliminated contestant is…

ADAM!

This means that FDot has avoided elimination for another week!

As a final farewell to Adam, Craig has offered two more doodles:

It’s kinda weird writing an elimination post for yourself.  But in case you’ve forgotten, I still have a chance to win. This year we’ll be awarding our Rudest Loser prize to the eliminated player that loses the most weight. I’m going to win that prize on April 7th!  Ha!

OMGFF! (Oh My God it's the Friday Five!)

Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls of all ages…  Welcome to the Friday Five, where I examine my five favorites of the week!  It’s been seven days since our last Friday Five, and oh how my favorites have changed!  Let’s get right to it:

1. I Whip My Hair Back and Forth!
Since the world first read about Willow Smith’s kiddie porn video, Whip My Hair, on last week’s Friday Five, the hair whipping trend has exploded!  I was in a store yesterday, and there were more people whipping their hair back and forth than people NOT whipping their hair back and forth.  It’s becoming ridiculous, people!  The kid from the Exorcist is whipping her hair, some seven year old kid is whipping his hair, and even the Muppets are whipping their hair!  I’m even whipping my hair back and forth right now … and lemme tell you, it’s hard to type!  And I have a headache!

2. The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia
From the people who brought you Jackass comes a movie about my family called, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia! My father’s side of the family hails from beautiful West Virginia.  I’ve never been to one of our family reunions — but maybe I would have gone if I had been told that it’s a land were people shake their boobs around, enjoy killing other people, shove ass-naked guys into doors, get arrested, and go on rampages!  I’m so proud that my dad’s side of the family made a movie.  And I can’t wait to get it from Netflix (you can even stream the movie right now!).  Check out the trailer:

3. I Can Has History
I’ve never been a fan of LOL Cats.  On the one hand, I love cats, but on the other, I just can’t take the bad spelling and grammar.  Just ask Mikey — he is constantly yelling at me for stuffing as many commas as I can into his blog posts.  But there’s something about this random I Can Has History chart that amuses the hell outa me.  I’m not sure if it’s because David’s Ceiling Cat Gravatar has apparently spawned a whole line of Egyptian and Star Wars cats, or if it’s just the sheer size of the history tree that I’m digging … but something makes me love this.  My favorites: Bread Cat, Bag Cat, Link the Kitten, Stonoga, Corncat, “Lolly Cat” & Mooncat.

4. Tube-Free Toilet Paper
“Kimberly-Clark estimates [that] 17 billion toilet paper tubes are produced each year in the U.S. When placed end-to-end, those tubes could stretch to the moon and back — twice. All and all, these cardboard toilet paper tubes account for 160 million pounds of landfill-bound trash.” So Kimberly-Clark (under their Scott brand) has created a tube-free toilet paper roll!  I’m a big fan of anything that takes a step in the right direction towards a healthier, greener, less wasteful planet — and I think this is great news.  They’ll be rolling it out (pun intended) their tube-free magic in select Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club stores, and then if it catches on, it will be available nationwide.  Let’s just hope it doesn’t go the way of the Sun Chips environmentally-friendly decomposable bag

5. Geocaching
Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. I’m pretty sure it’s the nerdiest outdoor activity that I can partake in … and it’s fun!  Once I registered on the website, I was able to find that there are a bunch of local caches.  Then on Thursday, I used my phone’s GPS to successfully locate 3 different caches.  In every cache is a little log book where you write your name and the date of your visit.  Sometimes there’s also some worthless junk that you can trade for worthless junk that you brought with you.  It’s all sorts of fun!  OMG I’m a Supernerd Extreme!

And that’s my Friday Five!  Hair whipping, crazy West Virginians, Cat History, Tube-Free TP and Geocaching.  Could there be a better Five?  I don’t think so… but try to prove me wrong!  What’s your Friday Five?  Tell me all about it in the comments.

Oh, and a special note: It’s not too late to take your photo with the Rainbow Poo mask! Send us your photos and we’ll post them on Sunday!
