My phone is wearing the shirt that says "I'm with Stupid!"

I'm pretty sure that my phone thinks i'm stupid. I have the Blackberry Curve. It's always asking me for passwords & such. But when i'm in the car i'll try to use my voice commands so I have less of a chance of crashing into the car in front of me from pushing buttons.

Here's how our conversation goes:

Phone: Say a command...
Me: Call Marion
Phone: Did you say Call ElMatador?
Me: No
Phone: Did you say Call Malstrom Salon?
Me: No
Phone: Did you say call Mindy Chase?
Me: No!
Phone: I don't understand the command. Please try again.

So I push the button again.
Phone: Say a command...
Me: Call Marion
Phone: Did you say Call ElMatador?
Me: No
Phone: Did you say Call Malstrom Salon?
Me: No
Phone: Did you say Call Marion?
Me: Yes
Phone: Next time say Call Marion, Mobile, One
Phone: Calling Marion

And it says it so snotty too. Like you can just see it looking down at you shaking its head & putting it's nose up. It has a womans voice on it & she's so proper all the time. It makes me want to say "How about next time I slam you on the ground & you break into a million pieces!" Ah! I don't know why it irritates me so bad, but she's totally asking for trouble. :)

Loving It!

I just bought this Nail Polish at Classy Chassis in BTown. It's on the Katy Perry display. I love it! It's called Black Shatter by OPI. I did my base color in OPI La Paz-itively Hot (hot pinkish) & then used this on top. It was a little bit awkward to put on cuz it dries super quick. If you can get half of your nail in one swipe of the brush & the other half w/the other side of the brush then it works out pretty good. I wouldn't recommend trying to put full coverage on it cuz it just doesn't work & then as soon as it starts to dry it pulls away & looks like shattered glass. After that I put on a "Diamond Hard" top coat, 2 coats of that cuz I like mine super shiny & super hard. No chips for me. If my nail polish chips I feel trashy & it has to be removed immediately. I know it takes a long time to dry but for me totally worth it. So, if you happen to see this while out & about I would recommend picking it up. It looks super neat w/out having to put any kind of effort into it. :)

Tweet This!

I have 132 Followers on Twitter & I follow 188 people, mostly celebs, news channels & food blogs. I'm not sure who IS following me & why. What makes me angry is when an individual tweets 20 times a day. Who cares? I promise that nobody cares about your every move. It's like...i'm awake, i'm in the car, i'm eating lunch, i'm bored....blah, blah, blah. I don't update mine very often. Maybe a few times a week, if that. I know a few of my followers but most of them i've never met. I do think it's cool though that Salt Lake Places likes to re-tweet my entries. And i'm listed as a Downtown Fav. Yay! I go back & read mine & it's like lame. But if you're reading them & enjoying them then hey...have at it. :)

"Don't Look Puppy!"

Adam & Steve is on this weekend on Logo so I just thought i'd share one of the best parts on it! You know you love the gay cowboy dance-off! :)

REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE VOLUME ON THE PLAYLIST!

Wakey, wakey, Eggs & Bakey!

On Tuesday I went to the new Whole Foods at Trolley & they had all kinds of yummy samples around & I tried this cereal & I like it a lot! The guy who was doing the little demonstration was this guy named Dee's grandson & he told us all about it, so I just thought i'd share it with you guys. It's full of grains & nuts & a few raisins. I I think it also has Quinoa in it too. You make it the same way you would oatmeal w/a 2:1 ratio. I use Almond Milk & a little bit of brown sugar to sweeten it. If you're interested it's in the freezer section at Whole Foods & needs to be stored in the fridge.

"There aint no party like my Nana's tea party. Hey! Ho!"

I LOVE the Flight of the Conchords. B, posted "You Don't have to be a Prostitute" on FB today so I thought i'd share some of my fav. songs from them!

DON'T FORGET THE TURN OFF THE MUSIC ON THE PLAYLIST BELOW!




This one is probably my fav!




I heart Jermaine!




Hahaha! :D




And of course I had to post this for Biggs!

I can do without...

Guess what? I HATE these stickers! I don't care that you have 15 people in your family & 4 animals. If they cover up more than half of your rear window the only thing I think is that poor woman. Not cuz she has that many kids...but because she had to literally have that many kids. That can't feel good. Who knows what kind of disaster area that left behind. The ones I don't mind are the flip-flops, the turtles & the Hibiscus flowers. The ones I absolutely dislike are the ones with the Disney Mickey ears & shirts. Not cool. And double not cool if it's a man driving around in this awfully decorated car. To me that ranks up there with the 40 year old men who have Pooh Bear stuffed animals staring at me at a stop light. Yes I see you...Hello Eeyore. Yuck! Please stop it Soccer Moms!

YUM!

I made these this morning cuz I didn't have to be to work until 10:00 & I dyed the sugar green for our pre-St. Pat's Day parade week. I always try to get the kids all excited for events or holidays so this week is green week & then we'll finish it off w/the parade. These cookies are delicious & my tummy is kinda pissed off cuz I ate too many of them & probably gained a lb. or 2 cuz you use a whole lot of butter for them!

Shortbread or Short Dough Cookies

1 lb. Butter
1 1/4 C. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
2 Eggs
1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
6 C. Flour, sifted

Cream all ingredients together & mix well. Roll dough out 1/3 inch thick & cut w/various cutters.

Bake at 375 for 12-15min.

I didn't do the last part. I just rolled them into balls in my hand & slightly flattened them out. First rolling them in Sugar...green sugar. And I cooked mine for 15 so they got that crumbly shortbread consistency.

Hope you try them out!

Ginger Tea Recipe

So, I usually don't like things that have the word "Ginger" in their names. As I think most people don't! LOL! But here is a recipe that I wanted to share w/you guys that I think is a great tea & has amazing health benefits. Remember a couple years ago when I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis & I could hardly move or function? I had to take Anti-Inflammatory pills in combo with Pain Killers & Tylenol multiple times a day to get through an actual day comfortably. I found this recipe on some natural sight & read it in my Nutritional Healing Book (one of my very favorite books of all time!). If you don't know about ginger it helps w/everything! You can read about it on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger)

A few recommendations first. I would only buy ginger at Whole Foods or a natural organic store. I buy mine at Whole Foods. Have you seen the ginger root they have at a regular grocery store? It's disturbing. Nothing should be pumped full of that much growth hormone & get that large & in charge. I don't know about you but I don't like any of my food genetically altered. So, after all my rambling here is the recipe.

GINGER TEA:

1 Tbsp. of Ginger Root, finely grated or chopped
2 C. Boiling Water
Honey or Agave, to taste

First grate your Ginger or chop finely. Pour boiling water over ginger & let steep for 5 minutes. Strain the ginger out of the tea into a separate cup. Put in honey or Agave to desired sweetness.

That's it! Super easy! I like mine pretty strong so I use less water, only 1 3/4 C. instead of 2 C. But you can adjust to your own liking.

After I tried this tea, I cut way down on all my pills & could actually get out of bed in the morning. I'm super grateful that I amazed my Dr. & got over it. It's completely gone & he can't figure out what was going on w/me even after all the tests, x-ray's & exams. I hope this can help some of you or if not help it's a delicious drink.

I also have a recipe for Ginger Pear Punch that I will post at a different time!

Sucks to be Me!

I HATE it when I totally screw up at work! Today is one of those kinda days. At work i'm in charge of initiating everyone's Direct Deposits & yesterday we had like 50 of them for 3 different companies & I did to the DD's but I accidentally made them effective for Monday instead of today. So, my first thought was great, now I have to go to the bank cash out $10,000 & drive around to all the different banks. But it wouldn't be just me. my mom, my bro & my sister would have to do the exact same thing cuz it was a ton of people. And then I felt sick to my stomach, like I was going to throw up. My mom & sister were nice enough to call the 3 employers & tell them what happened, kind of, & told them that if anyone HAD to have money we could put cash in their accounts or wire transfer it over. Thankfully, only 3 people needed $. So my day is ending up pretty good. I just hate when I do something wrong though & it effects everyone. It's not so bad when it's just me. Oh well, I guess we all screw up sometimes. :)

It's Dragalicious!

OMG! Is anyone else watching RuPaul's Drag Race on Logo or VH1??? Cuz, I LOVE it! Like you knew I would! I can't resist anything with drag queens in it. Their make-up is to die for. "I die, literally" LOL! If you're not i'd highly recommend. I like to watch it on Logo cuz it's on the day before it's on VH1. I guess it's still on VH1. It was last season & I think I saw it on my guide the other day. I was watching Logo the other day & is it just me or do I own all the movies they play on there? I watched Trick the other day...I forgot how lame it was & that Christian Campbell is also on Big Love as Carol Lynn's teacher. Funny, since in Big Love he's some cute little return missionary mormon boy & far from that on Trick. I wish they'd play Priscilla Queen of the Desert, that's always a good one! Or Adam & Steve cuz "Don't look Puppy" never gets old. So if you haven't watched RuPaul then here's a little treat for ya!

REMEMBER TO TURN THE MUSIC ON THE PLAYLIST OFF BEFORE WATCHING!
