No magic pill... boo.
If you know me well, you know I’m constantly trying to lose weight (I’m not fishing for comments, I’m simply stating a fact). Most recently, I tried no-carb, then low carb diets… right now I like South Beach. It’s really hard for me to give up carbs completely, I go crazy.
I’ve searched for days, weeks, years for the perfect diet for me. You see, I believe each...
Ahoy, Maties!
Best thing I’ve done all day. Whitney urged me to change my FB language to Pirate. I did. And this is what happened:
Everythin’ changed to Pirate speak! Ye hear!?
Now change yer page… or walk the plank!
“Be a blesser… not a depresser.”
– My daily words of wisdom from Keith, an engineer from work.
We were talking about how you can’t let one moment or person ruin the rest of your day. So we decided when you realize that your sending bad vibes you need to bless everyone you’re with with a positive attitude so they leave...
The wait is over!!
Today is my second favorite day of the year. Spring Training begins for the Minnesota Twins. For those who are wondering, my favorite day is the home opener.
The Twins catchers and pitchers report to Ft. Meyers, FL today to start training. It’s so exciting. Everything from last season is erased, they get to start over again. And that’s what’s exciting with the Twins....
Cha-Ching
The House and Senate worked super fast to pass President Obama’s stimulus package. But with the federal government spending $787 billion dollars… how much if it will actually impact us?
Luckily, for those of you who aren’t huge political nerds (like me), the Associated Press laid it out pretty simply.
(By the way, before anything can happen, the president has to sign the bill....
“People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll...”
– Rogers Hornsby
So true. Two days until the Twins catchers and pitchers report for Spring Training.
Happy Bad Luck Day!
It’s Friday the 13th… you know what that means: stay away from black cats, broken mirrors and ladders. It’s the day that NOTHING good is supposed to happen. Well, I’m having a pretty good day, so take that karma!
I did some Googling and found the reason the number 13 is frowned upon. It’s because it’s considered an incomplete number. 12 is a rounded number,...
Instant Fix
Starbucks just announced it’s going to start selling instant coffee. As the Wall Street Journal put it “the company that made coffee into a luxury item, is taking on a new market: instant coffee.”
You can get your instant Starbucks fixes starting next month. Three packets will set you back $3… or you can get 12 for $10.
Looks like Starbucks is really desperate to get back...
Buh bye!
It’s the news EVERY Minnesota Vikings fan wants to hear: Brett Favre is FINALLY hanging up his cleats for good. Brett Favre told his agents to tell the Jets he’s done. Favre played for the evil Green Bay Packers for 15 seasons. He’s a football institution.
As much as the Viking in me hates him, I do appreciate the passion and skill he brings to the game. He’s one of the...
Mizzou still sucks.
Everyone still has their panties in a bunch after last night’s loss to (gag) Mizzou.
Tiger fans around KC are peeved the Jayhawks are criticizing them for rushing the court. Well yeah, we’re too classy to storm the court after a basketball game - WE’RE USED TO WINNING.
The last two times we rushed the court were after a Texas win a few years ago and after beating Florida in Las...
God on the 'net
It looks like major religions are using social media to reach out to more people than ever before. I logged onto Twitter this morning, and found out The Dalai Lama is now on too. It’s not really him, it’s his official office. It says you can write him a question and they will do the best they can to answer it.
A few weeks ago, the Pope said he was going to be using YouTube to reach...
Tracy is: perplexed.
This may be an awkward post… but it’s on my mind. When did Facebook become the popular thing for EVERYONE in the world to do? Today I signed up one of my best friends for FB, because she’s the only one that we know without a page. Then I realized, people my age, people my co-workers ages and people my parents age are on Facebook.
Kansas was one of the first schools with...
Sex is back!
Grab your Milanos ladies… SJP just announced there will be a Sex & The City: part two! E! Online says all the main characters agreed to make the sequel.
The script hasn’t been written, but they’re reportedly shooting this summer. Anticipated release date: Summer 2010.
They’d be stupid to not make the sequel. The first movie pulled in over $57 million.
I can’t...
Rebel.
I feel like that kid in college. You know, the one who knows they shouldn’t go bar hopping on a school night. Well, I’m not bar hopping, but I am going to happy hour instead of going to bed. I do have to work tomorrow. No worries, I’ll be in bed by seven. Okay, eight at the latest.
Did I mention it’s 62 degrees out!?! It’s February! Heck yeah! I actually changed into...
I got duped.
Okay, so remember the most genius ad ever created… the one second Miller High Life ad… turns out I fell victim to genius marketing. As did millions of you.
The 1 second ads were released by Miller High Life to create buzz around the ads. So while the commercials saved mucho moola, they also got tons and tons of free publicity (I didn’t get a cut for telling you about the ad.)

Never saw this one coming
So perhaps you’ve seen this picture of Michael Phelps circulating the ‘net? A British newspaper released a pic of the Olympic wonder boy smoking pot. Turns out its real, not doctored.
Phelps apologizes for the “youthful and inappropriate” behavior. And he promises it won’t happen again. Here’s the full artcile for his statement.
It just kinda makes me want to...
