random musings friday: 01.06.12

One week down in 2012 - we killed it people, in a good way! I started following the wise words of Ally and Shana when it came to keeping notes and the verdict is: I have issues with a lot of Hollywood types. So here goes... First Random Musing Friday of 2012!!!

• Zooey Deschanel gets on my last nerve. Everyone thinks she's soooo cute and quirky. I think that A) She's trying too hard to seem like she's not trying too hard and B) That doesn't make her quirky at all, it makes her a faker. I'd like to also comment that my note to remind me of this actually said "I would love to punch Zooey D. in the face." Isn't that sweet? I never claimed to be, so get over it.
• Speaking of Hollywood types - by now you all know about Katie P and her hubby Russell B getting the big D. I can't believe this didn't happen sooner. I don't know how she put up with him. About the only thing I can deal with watching him in is Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I couldn't stand him for 4 hours let alone 4 months of dating + marriage.
• Hollywood #3: I don't get the whole Ryan Gosling plague that's happening. Sure he's attractive but I am just not into him. And yes, I've seen the Notebook and I'm of the few that think while it's a touching movie, it's also overrated [yes I just said that]. Same thing happened years ago when everyone was hot for Brad Pitt. They just aren't my thing.... then again I have the hots for Zach Galifinakus sooo there's that. [Note: I do have crushes on conventional hunks like Ryan Reynolds, Ben Affleck & Jason Sudeikis]. 
• PMS hit me hardcore this time around - hence wanting to punch sweet Zooey in the face. I probably would just roll my eyes at her now that my cycle has come to an end.
• I truly enjoyed New Years Eve at home this time around - I made some amazing crab cakes with twice baked potatoes. This allowed us to not have to worry about reservations anywhere and we didn't have to worry about calling, paying, or riding in a cab to get home after partying. SCORE!
• Why do cab drivers always have their heat set on HELL in the winter? I mean they ride in the car, never getting out... doesn't it get hot for them? Bottom line I hate FULL BLAST HEAT in a car unless it's warming up, and it's needed.
• I forgot to put on my wedding rings yesterday after doing my hair - I felt truly naked.
• This weekend we are getting the mancave in order. It currently resembles a Hoarders producer's dream. It's packed to the gills with wedding gifts still in boxes as well as props from the wedding reception - what the fudge am I going to do with 30 mason jars filled w/ dry wax and coffee beans? Once this is all straightened up and the room is cleared I will be resuming Turbo Fire again, starting over from day 1.
• Mason Jars = Hillbilly Fun Fest this summer. I'm sure I can master some sort of moonshine recipe before then, right?
• I hate this time of year when you realize all your hard work went down the crap shoot because you were too lazy to workout while you were busy celebrating with friends and family. I wouldn't say I was too lazy just didn't care to. I made the joke the day after my wedding when I was stuffing my face at the lodge's buffet ... "I'm married now, I can get fat and ugly and he's stuck with me!"So not true... but it was funny... now I fear if I don't get my ass in action it will become a reality! SO I am going to get my booty moving for my health and the love of my husband in 2012.
• I purchased some of my favorite all time Quaker Oatmeal in Cinnamon Spice last night. The store we shop at NEVER carries it. Only at random times. So since the shelf was full I purchased not 1 but 2 boxes. I also purchased what I like to call my "hippie oatmeal" which is Kashi Cinnamon and Honey. I will eat the Cinnamon Spice sparingly, at least that is my plan. When I made some this morning it didn't seem as amazing as I remember it being though. I was disappointed - then I feared that my hippie oatmeal with the flax and good for you junk ruined me. Sorry Mr. Quaker... there's a new meal in town.
• I'm thinking of taking my blog in a new direction for the new year. Change is a good thing or so I tell myself. I guess it's not really a new direction but I think a new name, that is more reflective of who I am and what I do here is in order. As well as some new things - More on that to come! 
• This weekend is big, HUGE for my football teams. Steelers are going to be playing the Broncos and I'm nervous. It would totally be JUST MY LUCK that Tebow would possibly knock my boys out of the playoffs - man will I be pissed. Anyone that knows me, knows how much that boy gets under my skin. While he's a great kid, no person on earth is that holy good 24/7. It's just not possible. Yes, I'm very pessimistic. I've been over him for years, since he was a Gator. Mark my words there is a skeleton or two in his closet. LET'S GO STEELERS!!!!
• HUGE FOOTBALL NEWS #2: My Bama boys are set to face off with the tigers of LSU! I'm so excited and nervous about this game!!! LET'S GO FOR #14 BOYS!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!

So there you have it... my random thoughts from the week. I wanted to leave you with one of my favorite SNL skits to date... It's a shot of a TV so sorry about that but it's too good not to share.
