worst friends E-V-E-R

Q: Wow, you ask for love, support, and a little creative-license, and what do you get?

A: Only the most humiliating confirmation from your truest of true friends that you are officially 'weird'.

Life Lesson Learned: never post a one-question survey where the answers from your greater readership will most assuredly determine and confirm your worst possible nightmare. No, I am not speaking of limb amputation this time. I am specifically referring to that common human thread which binds us all together in perfect insecurity: the dreaded, "am I weird?" question.

Yes. I am. And you know what? I embrace it. If preferring pancakes with no syrup throws me outside of the social breakfast circles of the world, then so be it.

I don't need your stinking approval anyways.

can't wait until tomorrow...I'm so in the mood for a good old-fashioned dry pancake. mmmm....
if anyone wants to partake, breakfast will be served at my place around 9am. BYOS. I think you know what I mean.

I immediately thought "Breakfast Club"
and started humming, "Don't you....forget about me...."

aww ... we still love you even if you are a little weird. In my opinion, of what I've seen of you so far anyway, that's the only weird thing you have going for you. Don't we all need at least that ONE thing??

when did weird start being, well, weird? i'm telling you, REAL maple syrup will make a new person out of you. On the other hand, some people do munch to the beat of a different drummer...

Ok, this SO made me want to eat pancakes this morning!! When I asked the hubby if he would make pancakes this morning he willingly said yes :) They were so yummy! We added dark chocolate chips to them - WAY YUM! Even though I do like to eat my pancakes with syrup I do agree that it is not necessary especially if the pancakes are warm and contain chocolate of some kind (I have never had M&M pancakes before!). So, since I do agree with you even though I do like syrup on my pancakes, am I your favorite cousin-in-law or what!? :)

no pressure over capuccino

This morning, my iPod played this song for me. My iPod has been playing this for me quite frequently. Weird considering it's on 'shuffle'. For some reason, my iPod likes this song. For some reason, I like this song. I have a special affinity for songs that reference Jesus and the Bible written by people who don't profess to be Christians (another great one is Dave Matthews' "A Christmas Song"). It's always interesting to see these figures from a secular point of view. I googled the lyrics this morning, because Alanis is Canadian :-p Some of the most important words were not what I previously thought they were. And now I like it even more. Disclaimer: I don't pretend to understand this song completely (especially the origin of the title), but I really like that it makes me think. Any intuitive comments about the meaning of this song will be rewarded with great awe. Side note: all the "90's" references, I think, are meant to convey ...

local Nashville girl turns 30...

...and the intersection of Murfreesboro Rd. and Thompson Ln. wins "No. 1 site for car accidents in Metro Nashville." Coincidence?? I think not. When something this great happens, everyone wants a piece of the action. Finally, the happiest day of the year has come. After a whole weekend of pre-party celebrating, my big day is here, and bigger than ever. I am thirty today. It's been a long road. I thirty year road. I worked hard to get here. Survived countless potential car accidents, dodged all possible life-threatening illnesses, and legions of unknown potential mortal hazards just to be here today. Not everyone can say that. I'm not even kidding actually. I feel really blessed to have made it this far; witnessing tragedy around me, but never really coming face to face with it. I'm not really sure why I get to lead such a charmed life while the world around seems to be crumbling. All I know is I'm thankful. Details to come on why this is the B-E-S-T birthday ...

you are what you see

If you visit here regularly, you may (or may not) have noticed something. I don't blog about t.v. shows. This is because I don't really watch t.v. that much. Yes, I have one, and yes, I have cable. And yes, I do, on occasion, decide to sit down and relax by voluntarily turning off my brain and turning on that blackhole box. But I don't have a show . I don't want a show. I want to explain why. This post is dedicated to those of you out there who have a show, have too many shows, or think you need a show. And you all know I know you know who you all are... Top Ten reasons why you do not need a show: 10. You are what you see. This could be bad if you are watching - well anything. Unless you are watching your own reality t.v. show, and then that would be, just, meta - and therefore redundant, and also a little bit egomaniacal . But I digress. 9. Studies show watching teevee produces less brain activity than sleeping. It also has an adverse affect on your ability to discern...
