MOMENT OF TRUTH

In the midst of this horrible writer's strike, I salute FOX for coming out with reality show after reality show.  Thank God someone out there cares enough to keep me entertained!  Fox really hit the jackpot when they created "The Moment of Truth."  I love watching idiots go on national television and ruin their own lives.  For instance, last week the dude confessed that he would want his wife to have lipo if she gained weight.  He then confessed that he has put off having children because he doesn't know if he considers his wife his "life partner".  And after he completely pissed off his wife - he lied, lost the $100k he could have walked away with, and left with nothing but his bitter wife.  Hilarious.  I can't wait til this show grows in popularity, they come out with a celebrity version, and then have a "Where are they now" follow-up to the lives that were ruined.  I'm sure it is terrible that I get so much joy out of other people's misery - but if you are going on a show like this, you really just deserve it!  

Now the big question of today is - if my non-existent husband wanted to go on this show, how much money would I demand that he win in order to make up for the pain and suffering I felt at the hand of his honesty?  I think I would demand he win the $100k and then quit.  I can deal with the fact that my husband wants me to get lipo if I have a lifetime of shopping to look forward to.  And just like that, another important decision in my life has been made.

ANTICIPATION!

4 years ago, Anne and I watched an infomercial for The Magic Bullet Blender/Mixer system. We were captivated by its ability to turn regular table sugar into powdered sugar - honestly, who hasn't been looking for a way to powder their own sugar? Well tonight is the night - after four years of anticipation - I will attempt to use my Magic Bullet Blender/Mixer to powder my own sugar! I see no way that this could fail!

AMPED!

Last night I purchased Tae Bo AMPED! at my local Target store. My thought was that it would allow me to still get my exercise on days when I was too lazy to brave the cold and go to the gym. But let me tell you - Tae Bo AMPED kicked my a*s. It was 52 minutes of pure agony, with Billy Blanks lecturing me about having to "feel the pain to lose the pounds" the entire time. I would rather go to the gym every day of my life than touch that 3 pound bar of death (technical name "The Amplifier Bar") ever again! If I could even lift my arms today, I would take that amplifier bar and use it to teach Billy Blanks a lesson. I guess that no matter how great the infomercial makes it look - exercise is not fun!!! Who knew?

I'M BACK...YOU KNOW IT!

This afternoon I stumbled across my own blog, read it, and remembered that I am one of the two most hilarious people on earth (behind Anne of course). And due to the inspiration I felt by reading my own blog, I decided to quit my blog hiatus and make a comeback. Of course I don't really have time to blog at work anymore, due to ridiculous year-end close, and my computer at home is having some technical difficulties...so blogs will be shorter than usual. But a short blog from me is better than no blog at all. I am certain you all agree. Here for your viewing enjoyment is a list of all the things I am thinking about today:

-Bemidji winter is not so bad as people said it would be. Its been above freezing for days now, and hasn't been below zero in quite some time. But here is the big question - why was it 40+ degrees all weekend and unbelievably sunny all week - but none of the snow on my driveway is melting? Melt already dammit.
-Accounting: it is not the black and white world that is was made out to be in college. I think if Dr Wilcox knew how many shades of grey there are in the real world, I would have scored much higher on his exams. All that time I thought I was dumb, but really I was just using creative accounting techniques that were beyond his comprehension.
-LG Chocolate Phone: I hate this piece of crap. Don't even get me started.
-The Writers Strike: What the eff? I bet there have been at least two dozen suicides that can be attributed to the writers strike so far. I am soon to be one of them. Stop robbing my life of hilarity, greedy writers.

That is all I have time for today. Make sure to check back later this week when I (hopefully) find my blogging stride once again.
