Today I am thankful for this place and their vanilla steamers. How would I get through winter without them?

I am not, however, thankful for the cat that tipped by 3/4 full cup over so he could drink my vanilla steamer last night. Next time I will just have to get him his own. It's not worth the risk.

These people creep me out. Why can't they be cute and endearing like their dad? Why do they have to be weird and alienating?

Poor papa Will. I wonder if he even saw this coming.

I guess I should weigh in on the TSA travel requirements since I travel a lot, and don't like blowing up.

I'm flying to D.C. on the 2nd out of Salt Lake. I hope they grope me.

I FINALLY figured out why Ryan Reynolds is so sexy. I'm obviously not the only one who thinks so, since he received the official title from People Magazine this year. I was staring at this picture thinking, "what is it about him that makes his so appealing?" You think it would jump out at me, but it doesn't. And then it hit me.

I love him because he has a small mouth. I have a small mouth too, Ryan! It doesn't fit on my face, and neither does yours.

Whew, I'm glad I figured that out.

I'm sick of not getting enough ketchup packets in drive-thrus. I'm going to have to start asking for it using the only words I have found to be effective, no matter how embarrassing it is.

"Can I get a butt-load of ketchup?"

It works. Promise.

Apparently these two are dating. Say it ain't so. I would like to continue to believe that Michael Phelps never gets out of the pool except to smoke pot and eat Subway...wearing his speedo, of course.

It made me cry

I was catching a flight to Atlanta out of D.C. in October. There was a man in an Army uniform sitting a couple rows in front of me, which meant that I was behind him as we exited the plane when we landed.

As we walked through the airport, another man wearing shorts and a grubby t-shirt walked up to the Army man and said "thank you for your service, sir."

I followed the Army man until I had to turn off to my next gate, crying the whole way. I didn't even care how weird I looked. It was one of the best things I have ever seen. Ever. I'm glad there are still people like both of those men left in this world.

Never forget.

I really don't know how we forgot how nuts Angelina Jolie is. I found this little video, which prompted me to look at her wikipedia page, and I was reminded just how weird she used to be. Maybe she is cured and doesn't like women, vials of blood, her brother, or weird tattoos anymore. Way to go Brad. You are the most successful form of rehab ever.
