The Best Cookie

The best cookie in the world is the cookie I am eating RIGHT NOW.

Oatmeal Raisen Cookie, I could fly away on the wings of your love.

Bushisms

I don't rail on politicians generally - but these make me giggle.

TOP TEN BUSHISMS (as chosen by viewers of dubyaspeak.com)

1. I want to be the peace president.


2. My most important job is to defend the homeland, to protect innocent Americans from the deaths of the killers.


3. First thing that Medicare has done is it says that if you're — when you join Medicare, you get preventative screenings. Put in Texas terms, in order to solve something, you got to diagnose it.


4. Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better.


5. A political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your Commander-in-Chief.


6. I want to send the signal to our enemy that you have aroused a compassionate and decent and mighty nation, and we're going to hunt you down.


7. I want to thank the President and the CEO of Constellation Energy, Mayo Shattuck. That's a pretty cool first name, isn't it, Mayo. Pass the Mayo.


8. Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.


9. This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table.


10. There — it's — you know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror

List of the Day 1/21/08

Some interesting facts:

• The average coach airline meal costs the airline $4.00. The average first class meal: $50.
• The first toilet being flushed in a motion picture was in the movie Psycho.
• There are 10 towns named Hollywood in the United States!
• Medical studies show that intelligent people have more copper and zinc in their hair.
• About twenty-five percent of the population sneeze when they are exposed to light.
• Babies that are breastfed are more likely to be slimmer as adults than those that are not breastfed.
• You are more likely to be killed by a champagne cork than a poisonous spider!

I liked the last one.

Carolyn needs to watch out for champagne corks.

Hello, hello, hello

I'm back. It was rough going there for awhile with the whole Fats Domino experience, but we made it through. And we're stronger now.


So I looked up Fats Domino, and here's what he looks like:

Charming.

I am currently babysitting for my pastor's baby. He's very cute, and he kind of has a comb-over. But I think it makes him cuter. They have a big friendly dog named Tok that looks at me a lot. I want a dog.

I am super-de-duper tired. But I have a PAR-TAY to go to tonight, so I need to wake up.

Well, it's good to be back. I'll be updating regularly now.

Public address to "Fats Domino"

Dear Creepster:

Why do you have to be so creepy? Lately, you have been leaving "comments" on my blog, and they have all been excessively, unnecissarily creepy. If you do not stop, you are going to force me to make it so only other bloggers can leave notes. That would be unfortunate. Do you want to make me have to do something unfortunate?

[Note to other readers - here is an example of Mr. or Mrs. Creepster's comments -

Darkness
Darkness
As the last of the rain of light hides for all eternity I gaze upward into the sky of terror. A heinous face looms above this forsaken earth. It speaks in a bellowing voice. The earth trembles with each breath. I crumble to my feet. I fall to my grave.
Thoughts from a Domino.
Crying for help.

????????]

Creepster, (as that is how I want to address you, and not as "Fats Domino") please stop leaving creepy comments. You can certainly leave comments in the form of compliments, friendly notes, etc. However, if you continue on the path of creepiness, I will have to take action.

Sincerely,
Nicole Kristine

List of the Day 1/16/08

I'm so counter-culture. Watch this:

Reasons I'm Glad I've Gained A Little Weight

• I am warmer in the winter months.
• If there was a famine, I would probably survive longer because I have more stored fats to live off of.
• If I were to die (of natural causes, of course) whoever ate me would be 1) more satisfied with the meal and 2) probably live longer than if they ate a skinny person
• I had to buy new pants and they are very, very soft. I would not have had the opportunity to buy these pants had I remained all skinny-mini.
• My boobs are bigger.
• My internal organs are probably happier and more comfortable.
• I don't have the stress you have when you look really, really great to STAY looking that great (very stressful).

Coffee here and coffee there...

I read this article on msn.com and it made me so happy!

http://www.slate.com/id/2180301/?GT1=10837

It was saying that Starbucks opening everywhere are actually HELPING the profits of local coffee shopes instead of hindering them. They interviewed coffee shop owners and a lot of them said that Starbucks attracted coffee drinkers and then people would wander over to their little shops all the time!

Way to go, series of events! I'm glad things always work out for the best.
