1. Why does Chris Harrison, the host of The Bachelor feel the need to stroll out and announce that it’s the last rose of the night? Duh Chris Harrison. We can all SEE that there is one rose left. I realize that some of the women’s intelligence might be in question but I can almost guarantee that they can all count to one.
2. Fox has a new show called Our Little Genius or something like that. Tom saw the preview and went, “Natalie could be on that,” and I went, “Tom. When you ask Natalie what her name is she says nose. If you ask how old she is she says grass. She’s a smart kid but genius she is not…”
3. I always seem to be behind slow people in drive thrus. I’m not sure if these people are aware, but drive thrus are for people in a hurry. Drive thrus are for people with impatient two year olds who are screaming, “FRIES NOW!” in the backseat. But some people go to the drive thru and are all, “Yes, I’d like a burger but I only want the bun lightly toasted, just a bit of cheese, only one onion and….crap, nevermind, I think I’ll have the nuggets but not if they come out overcooked..” If your order is complicated, go inside. If you order half the menu, go inside. If you don’t know what you want when you pull up to the speaker, GO INSIDE!
4. Natalie screwed something up with the TV yesterday. This is why I need to put the remote control out of reach. I finally figured out how to fix it but it was after I had thrown the remote angrily across the room and called it an asshole (not in front of the kids, don’t worry.)
5. Remember awhile back when Tom ordered some Girl Scout cookies and didn’t bother to get me some Caramel Delights because he couldn’t remember what I liked? Well, he made it right. A guy at work was selling some for his daughter and Tom called and was all, “What do you like again?” *Sighs* We had had the conversation less than a week ago but still I said, “Caramel Delights.” We hung up and then a few second later he called back. “They don’t have Caramel Delights,” he insisted. “Yes, they do. The Girl Scouts would never get rid of Caramel Delights,” I said calmly. “No really, I don’t see Caramel Delights on the order form,” Tom replied. “Are Samoas there?” I asked. It was silent and then Tom went, “Yes! Samoas are there. Do you want those instead?” I went, “Tom, it’s the same thing as Caramel Delights,” and he went, “Then why aren’t they called Caramel Delights?” So I had to explain that in different areas, cookies are sometimes called different things and Tom went, “Girl Scouts are confusing.”
6. “Greetings, Sire,” I said to Tom as I dipped down into a curtsey. Tom didn’t even miss a beat when he said, “You’ve been watching The Tudors again, haven’t you?”
7. I really tried to like Jersey Shore since so many people were buzzing about it. But I couldn’t get into it. I sat down to watch the first episode and as soon as some guy said that he was called The Situation I turned it off. I’m sorry, but no. Just...no.

"I finally figured out how to fix it but it was after I had thrown the remote angrily across the room and called it an asshole (not in front of the kids, don’t worry.)"
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate! But yes, never let them hear you say it. I made this mistake with a lesser word "stupid" and when the kids heard me they kept saying all day to anyone that would listen "Mommy said the "s" word. Of course in my family we know the "s" word stands for stupid but others are not so enlightened and... well you know they thought. Hehe – you just have to chuckle.
Oh man...now I want Samoas like WHOA. Darn you!
ReplyDeleteI'm fully in agreement with the drivethru thing, not cool people. You need to be prepared...the drive thru is the assembly line of food acquisition, and so should move like a well oiled machine. End of story. :)
My name is nose...HAHAHA. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteJersey Shore gets addictive as it progresses. My fiance saw me watching it and said, "I don't get it. You're smart. You have a degree. You read all the time. . .how do you watch this crap?"
ReplyDeleteBecause it owned my soul for the short time it was on. . .
random question...
ReplyDeleteDo you like microwaveable DiGiorno as much as the ones you bake? I think the Microwaveable DiGiorno pizzas are HORRIBLE!!!! Love the ones you put in the oven though..
I can't even pick which one I liked the best because they all made me go... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think the same things.
ReplyDeleteI've also wondered why Chris Harrison announces the last rose. Who DOESN'T know? Its just fekking annoying.
ReplyDeleteMy remote control has a little button on it that deletes channels off the line-up. I'm always curious why Spike, HGTV, Lifetime and USA has disappeared from my bedroom TV.
ReplyDeleteLove the random post!
As a born and raised Jersey Girl I can tell you that the Jersey Shore show is a joke. None of the cast is actually from Jersey, but just a bunch of guido bennies making us look bad. Horribleness.
ReplyDeleteAh yes. The Situation. King of the douchelords.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Caramel Delights, so I can't fault him for that one.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm...I want a box of Samoas...now I'm hungry :( As for your Tudors watching - I'm right there with you!!!
ReplyDelete~WM
Love love love The Tudors. Too bad the real King Henry wasn't that hott. Maybe he could have shot for eight wives then. Which would have given us more seasons!! Because history really should be all about my viewing pleasure, don't you think?
ReplyDelete♥Spot
My name is nose and Im grass years old too...what a coincidence! Love that Natalie, she is adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh.. and bank drive thru's should have the same basic rules too!!
ReplyDeleteI with you on the Joisey Sure folks... just... no.
I.LOVE.CARMEL.DELIGHTS! AKA SAMOAS.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I sit on my remote by accident and all kinds of bad things happen. I can NEVER get the TV right after that. My husband has to come in, give a deep sigh, roll his eyes, (the whole routine means "WHAT STUPID THING HAVE YOU DONE NOW?") and pushes one or two buttons and everything magically appears back on the TV.
ReplyDeleteCaramel delights - my fave, too!
Can't say I've watched Jersey Shore.
I think Chris Harrison's sole purpose on that show is to announce the obvious.
ReplyDeleteAnd I had to giggle a little at "Girl Scouts are confusing." hee hee!
I don't think anyone really likes jersey Shore, they watch it because it's a train wreck! Those people are a HOT MESS!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the fast food thing. What is up with people?! Aargh. It is so hard being perfect. No one else can possibly measure up.
ReplyDeleteI've been MIA on your blog, but I'm back and you never disappoint!!
ReplyDeletei'm giggling about Caramel Delights
ReplyDeleteThank goodness! I thought I was the only one who couldn't stomach those vain, vapid kids on Jersey Shore. I'd rather bang my head against concrete.
ReplyDeleteBut I have to admit, I had no idea Caramel Delights were a.k.a. Samoas - and I was a Girl Scout for 18 years.
They should have a drive-thru only for people who have kids in the car screaming for fries and/or nuggets. :)
So your remote is an asshole too huh?! Mine likes to hide. Annoying article.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as a non parent, I'd like a special lane at the drive thru for kids too. Nothing winds me up more than parents who spend hours trying to get their kids to decide while I stand behind them having already decided. Agh!!
I ordered Samoas for my husband because *I* remembered that he likes them. He now suddenly has no recollection of ever consumer a Samoa, even though he snarfed two entire boxes last year. Oh well, I tried.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jersey Shore is a horrible show. That is all.
Amen to 1, 3, & 7!!!
ReplyDeleteglad he righted that GScookie wrong. whew. and jersey shore, what the hell is this country thinking?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get into Jersey Shore either. What's the deal?
ReplyDeleteThe thing about Natalie being a genius just about made me fall off the bed laughing. Kinda reminds me of a "Malcolm in the Middle" episode, where Reese calls his dad "phone". "Phone bye bye!"
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
Chris Harrison is turning orange. I love the guy and how he's the Bachelor's older brother figure who gives advice.
ReplyDeleteAnd the drive-thru ATM is my worst nightmare. People in the South mosey up, put the car in park, THEN start digging through their stuff to find their card, do the transaction, and then sit there and put everything away while there are 15 cars stacked behind them, all waiting.
NO ONE IS IN A HURRY.
Hooray for Tom for coming through on the GS cookies! He gets props for that one, even if he didn't remember the name!
ReplyDeleteIn Tom's defense, I didn't know that samoas were called caramel delights. I'd die if those went away. Gawd how I love them. Mmmmmmm - gotta find someone to order from. Thanks for the reminder to consume calories I don't need. I'm on it. My name is nose, too :) Damn she's cute!
ReplyDeleteI effin hate the way that tosspot comes in to announce the last rose. Pisses me off BIGTIME!
ReplyDeleteMMMmmm..... Fries and Girl Scout Cookies! Im hungry now.
ReplyDeleteWe have the final episode of The Bachelor airing next Tuesday, so I'm really glad you didn't say who he ended up picking!
ReplyDeleteSomoas are the bomb...and my remote control pisses me off, too!
ReplyDeleteYou always make me laugh. I'm addicted to The Tudors, also!
ReplyDeletegirl scouts are weird... i didn't know either different regions call cookies different things.. very confusing!!
ReplyDeletebut so glad you gotcha some of that good stuff!
HAHAAAA i dont like the jersey shore situation either..i tried to sit thru an episode and my IQ dropped 15 points!
ReplyDeleteThank God I made choc chip cookies last night... just the words Girl Scout Cookies send me into a frenzy of NEED-TO-HAVE-COOKIES... I think it has something to do with Cookie Monster and my childhood... maybe.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jersey Shore? I am so with you on that one. I tried. I watched 2 whole episodes and just thought "WTF? Do they real lives? My GOD I hope they don't procreate!"
My kids were all like... hey that's a cool show...it's been parental control blocked from our TV.
Controlling B*&^% Mom... That's me!
Argh! The drive-thru thing really drives me crazy.
ReplyDeleteAnd I won't even watch commercials for Jersey Shore.
:)
Girl scout cookies confuse me too and they are soo expensive!
ReplyDeleteA few years back the GS changed all the names of their cookies except the Thin Mints. Now, I can never remember to call them by their new names. Why do they have to fix something that wasn't broken?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh...you crack me up!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love the Tudors!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS Saturday Sharefest
Happy SITS Sharefest from your Soul-SITSta LOL
ReplyDeleteGirl Guide cookies in the US are SO much more interesting than in Canada. We just get chocolate mint ones and then vanilla and chocolate cream (and the vanilla arent nearly as good since Oreo decided to make THEIR own Golden Oreos and stop making cookies specifically for the girl guides. Bah, I shake my fist at you Oreo!!)
