** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** I have been waiting to write this entry for so long! A whole year I've waited. Three Hundred and Sixty Six days of waiting. Oh. No? Hm. New Year that almost rhymes. Twenty-Ten should be used in a slogan like: "It's a Twenty-Ten All Over Again!" or "It's 2010 and no John Glenn!" Well something clever anyway should signify this year. Speaking of New Years, it is the season of RESOLVE. I mean everyone does it even the Pope. His resolve will be to not forget the Latin words to the Michael Jackson song "Thriller" I bet. There's a job that is a hard act to follow and be noticed. Whew. I wish they would pick more outstanding names so one could remember which one was the pope now. I think Pope Zotto would be good a name. Easy to remember. So, resolutions - what to pick this year? Personally I use resolutions I know I can keep. Last year it was to eat at least 1/2 pound of excellant chocolate each month. I did achieve that. Why pick stupid goals like losing weight or exercising or going vegan? All that does is stress people out, make them grumpy and the more grumpy they get the least likely they are to succeed. That is why resolutions last about 2 and a half hours I believe. Go my route and pick something you know you will do that pleases you. Why is it when you look up the 10 top resolutions they are ALWAYS the exact same ones? Are people really so unoriginal? Why not give up eating kidneys or drinking unsweetened kool-aid? I love original don't you? I think we should honor this rhyming year with originality. It needs something unique. After all it is the last year we have right?  |

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Tis the Season to be noiseful...fa la la la la...la la la la! Come we now to calories untold fa la la la...la la la la Yes it is the season of fatness. There are more than sugar plums and hogshead cheese to choose from. Granny makes those Fudge Pecan Chewies and Auntie May presents tins of Chocolate Dipped Apricot Crescents. Even PawPaw takes part with Rum Balls (although we all know where most of the Rum went to don't we?). What little wonder that after the first of the New Year everyone is letting out their pants, loosening their belts and avoiding the scales. Since we all are aware that the burning up of calories is directly proportional to the contraction and relaxation of the muscles and active use of muscular system, let us investigate different ways to burn calories during the Holiday Fatness Season! Reclining the Lazy Boy Chair 5 calories per pull Pushing the recliner to a upright position 10 calories per situp Clicking buttons on the television remote control 1/2 calories per button pushed Locating the remote control 14 calories per room Burping after consumption of Holiday Food depending on strength of burp from 5 to 30 calories per So we can and should do all we might to take off some of the fat put on during the holiday feastings. I am still researching calories that can be burned by opening the refrigerator seeking more to eat; calories burned by bending down to take out a container as well as calories lost by eating excellant chocolate.  If you know more methods you have found helpful please feel free to add them. Typing burns 6 calories per 55 WPM.  |

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** So I have a houseguest this weekend. I have been watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes over and over and over again. I also had a severe dose of Agent OSO. *sigh* When we weren't singing for our Magic Tootles, we were pretending to ice skate and build snowmen in the living room. My puppies are quite stunned by all this. Out of sheer desperation, hoping to avoid a temper tantrum, I suggested we make up a story about a pig. First things first however and a name was required. "What shall we name the pig?" "Lell-La!" "You mean Ella?" "Nope! Lell-La!" So we now have a pig named Lell-La. Three year olds are stubborn. As for the story, well you all will have to wait. It seems we need to go color as I am not as good as she feels I need to be. Oh, my Spidie Girl - YOU MAKE ME NUTS! |

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** So I was cruising around the web looking for gifts for the upcoming holiday. (Okay I still call it Christmas but I'm trying to be EB - that's 'everyday bland' which is what PC has done to us in my opinion.) Whilst cruising, well wait let me preface this first so you can better understand. I had an interview (finally) for a job last week. My terribly sour mood had lifted and I allowed myself to get all optimistic. Hm. Yesterday I received the e-mail saying I was wonderful, my experience was awesome but sorry we aren't hiring you. A major letdown. Please no sympathy now. I have enough going on within myself! Anyway, I tend to push negative things away from me if possible and to that end was looking to create gifts for friends. I was looking for inspiration. What I ended up with was questions. It was while watching snippetts of the show "The West Wing" that I started to wonder things. For instance, I know there are many Americans, Arabs, Israeli, French, Spanish, Russians, Italians, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Left-wingers, Right-wingers, Democrats, Republicans, Independents - well many - who cannot tolerate our President. The reasons are as varied as the groups who loudly proclaim him to be useless, incompetent and worse of all - a total liberal. The political slams against him are many and I've read some blogs regarding this here. I was taught to never discuss politics, religion or sex with anyone unless I knew them well. So, normally I do not argue. Now the President isn't the only one in the news being slammed. Sarah Palin has also elicited press, much of it probably unwanted by herself as well as her family. This is, of course part of that price of being in the limelight. It's unfortunate living in such an age of instant communication with such a lack of facts from all sources of media, but those who are intelligent know that to get to the facts, a whole lot of digging and research needs to be done. Here's what I do believe about everything being canted about by American masses. Good for you! That's right, good for you. Show the world what democracy is all about. Wave that Constitution in everyone's face and scream, "See this? This means I can say whatever I want, about anyone I want unless it is libelous or slanderous. I am exercising my American rights! My forefathers (and mothers) died to give me these rights." What I wonder is; do those doing the most criticizing, the most condemning, the most name calling - do they understand they are using their rights? I wrote a term paper in a Journalism Writing class that got an F. The professor took umbrage at my opening sentence. She disagreed with what I said and hence felt it was within her power to just grade me a failing grade. The sentence was: Man is controlled by his emotions not his intellect." I went on to "prove" my point, with much research done of course, but this Professor would have none of it. When I cited Freedom of Speech I was asked to leave class. I did. What sticks with me after that episode is that while she thought she disagreed with my thesis statement, she jumped right in and proved it. Today, I feel more than ever that humans react from their emotional centers. We are what we are, and where we head to in our futures will depend on each of us understanding, in this country at least, that we do have a right, a responsibility to disagree with each other. What we should also shoulder, is the ability to listen to the other side or sides. This is how we grow, how we learn, how we change and evolve. I really need a job! If I get any more maudlin you have my permission to take away my chocolate! Uh, no - wait. Cancel that. Take away those frozen peas and carrots Sarah gave me when she moved away! |

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** I am on a 'learn stuff' kick and using Google's Library as an aid came up with a couple of books to browse through. There is good and bad with Google's Library. You open a book, get into reading it and WHOOPS - "pages 20 - 25 have not been included" . Huh? So anyway you have to get around that by, oh making stuff up yourself! It's fun stuff. I was reading Genius Explained by Michael J. A. Howe. You never know when the subject may come up in casual conversation! I made it through the long introduction, was on page 6 towards the end and the last sentence was: ""Mozart's relative youth at the time he performed his feat of musical...." I rolled down to keep reading and read this: "...fruitful beginning because it gives revealing glimpses of the ways in which a young person might have gained certain qualities that made the creation of works of genius possible." O-K-A-Y....that made no sense until I saw between the two pages in small type the following: [Page 7 is not part of this book preview] Well that sucked. Due to frustration, boredom and the weather I decided henceforth to fill in the blanks, as it were. The NEW improved sentence I came up with was: "Mozart's relative youth at the time he performed his feat of musical....fingerings caused his teenage acne to clear up. He was so overjoyed he promptly wrote Symphony No. 25 in G minor." Because I'm so nice I post now a link so you can hear the music. The lyrics are not displayed, which are too bad as they make the song I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lC1lRz5Z_s Now if I could only find those lyrics! Anyone know them? |
