A Whole Lotta Cookin' Goin' On

Over the past two weeks I have really been busy in the kitchen trying out some new recipes. Due to a long night of drinking last night in celebration of my upcoming birthday, I'm incredibly tired but plan on posting the following recipes later this week:

Valentine's Cookies
Garlic Butter
King Cake
Mystery Rolls

All of the above are guaranteed to make you gain anywhere from 4 to 8 pounds. So be proactive and get to the gym! Just don't make this mistake.

A Blast From The Past

My sister and I recently were trying to remember a Christmas movie we used to watch as kids. I've noticed as I've gotten older that the children's Christmas movies from my generation are, frankly, creepy. We didn't think they were creepy at the time, but I mean, remember clay-mation Rudolph? CREEPY.

I digress.

We couldn't remember much about the movie, except that it involved toys that came to life when the children left the room. And these toys for some reason we couldn't recall ventured downstairs to the living room on Christmas Eve.

Through an email exchange today, we remembered discussing this movie the other day. Since we're both corporate monkeys and sit at computers about 95% of the day, we commenced our respective Google searches. Almost immediately, we each found the movie on the Internet Movie Database and simultaneously emailed each other with the excitement that we had found our beloved creepy film. Shockingly, it's down 2% in popularity this week.

Although you can purchase this movie online, based on the reviews it appears that the DVD version doesn't include the Kermit cameo or the sing-a-long of all the toys, including the formerly dead but magically resurrected ones, at the end.

You read that correctly. Dead toys. It was the 80s. Gimme a break.

You can also watch it for free on You Tube in five parts. Which I did today. Unfortunately, the Velveeta commercial I remember fast forwarding through on the VHS version we recorded from TV is not included.

You Know You're Married If

You weigh more than what you weighed when you started trying to lose weight for your wedding. Shit. Why do I feel like if I must eat everything today just in case there's no food left in the world tomorrow?

Oh right. The economy. There's a DISTINCT possibility I could actually not have food tomorrow.

I hate to make this a forum about weight, but it's hard to avoid it when my stomach is obstructing my hands' access to my laptop keyboard.

I Heart My Husband

Don't worry, I got him a little bit more than I originally intented.

A Valentine's Present For Matt

Because I'm in a loving mood, I'm going to put my purses up where they belong as my Valentine's Day present for my husband. No longer will we have a purse hanger taking over our breakfast nook.

Yep. That's just how much I love him.

A Recently Overheard Conversation in a Public Restroom

Teenage Girl #1: "Ugh."

Teenage Girl #2: "I know."

Teenage Girl #1: (bathroom noises)

Teenage Girl #2: (giggling)

Teenage Girl #1: "I am never eating Denny's again."

Nope. Me either.

You Might Be A Public Accountant If...

You can feel your ass getting bigger during the day while sitting at your desk.
