So, I found a better version on YouTube of the Ben Stiller episode. The one I posted before had cut off one of the funniest parts. It still makes me laugh every time I see it.

Cheese.

I recently signed up to stop receiving telephone books. They usually just add clutter to my house. I hardly ever use them, I can find the information I want via the internet. Also, I get the bonus karma of saving some trees.

They are trying to sign up 10,000 this week. So I thought I'd try to help.

I saw this years ago, when Elise and Jake were still young enough to watch Sesame Street. It's awesome. I let Claire watch it today. She 's been singing it at the top of her lungs.


Looky Here.

I read this today on swissmiss. Sometimes I wish I lived in NY.

I read this blog entry today. Which linked to this site.

These are my favorites:

Hostess Cupcake (I sooo want this for my next b-day)
Kit Kat
Rolo
Krispy Kreme Doughnut (I'm not a big fan of sprinkle doughnuts, but this is impressive)

I have a new obsession. Design/Art Blogs. I love reading them. They give great ideas, they showcase different artists/designers. I like to look at them and pretend that maybe I could do something like that. I've found a lot of different stores/shops through them. The one bad thing about them, is that I find so much stuff I like, but I am way to poor to buy anything. I have been thinking I should start a notebook or something with ideas/things I see that I like or am inspired by. I think if I ever went back to school, I would study interior design. I love how much you can express yourself through your home enviroment.

Booklogged tagged me to do this history meme. So I guess I'll play.............

1. Go to Wikipedia and type in your birth date only -without the year.

2. List 3 events that occurred that day:(I decided to do 4)

4. List 1 death:
