Because I Feel Like It...

Today, I'm feeling the need to blog.  But today, I'm also feeling a bit under the weather.  My sick brain is kind of all over the place today.  So that being said, I'm going to do a rather random post today.  Here goes nothin'.

* Kevin and I have started watching the show, Breaking Bad.  It's really pretty good.  It's just strange seeing the dad from Malcolm in the Middle in this kind of role.  Pretty interesting concept for the show, though.

* Hannah and Mason want to make a web page to showcase their sweet, sweet dance moves.  That way, viewers can send in clips of their own moves for Hannah and Mason to deem worthy to join their dance club.  Hannah's not really all that great, but Mason's actually pretty awesome.  He's got some street dance, hip-hop kind of thing he does.  Greatness.

* I have a bit of an attitude problem right now.  I've really enjoyed this summer. Nothing much to it, but it's just the break I needed after last year. It has really made the idea of going back to school that much harder to wrap my head around, though.

* I could really go for a cupcake right now.

* The grass in our back yard is so dead, Hannah looked out the window this morning and said, "Mason, I think it snowed last night.  Look how light the grass is!"  Then she looked at me and winked (or at least tried to).  Smarty pants.

* I can't wait for good TV to come back.  I'm not even ashamed to admit that I've got the premiere dates marked on my calendar.  Right along other only slightly more important events.

* I've done a lot of reading this summer.  Probably the best book of the summer was "The Help".  If you haven't read it, you should.  The movie comes out in August (I think), and it looks good, too.

* One of these years, we're going to take the kids to Universal Studios.  They don't really have any desire to go to Disney World.  Plus, Universal Studios is the place that has the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  I mean, come on.  Who doesn't want to see that, right?

* Kevin has a sick obsession (literally sick...literally obsession) with popping pimples.  It GROSSES me out!  Even the kids have learned that if they have a tiny pimple (or even an ant bite) somewhere, they do everything they can not to mention it around him.  Eeeeww.

* You know how certain actors get type-casted as a certain type of character?  It really makes you wonder (or at least it really makes me wonder) how close they are to that in real life.

* What do you think?  Are dinosaurs and birds related?

* I just love the commercials that try to make the simplest of tasks seem oh so hard.  When all they really do is make the people doing those tasks seem ridiculous.  That is, until they get the help of whatever product is being sold. 

* Speaking of commercials, there's one I think I will always remember.  It's a local (Abilene) commercial.  I think some of you may already know which one I'm thinking of.  It's for Abilene Portable Buildings..."family owned and located on Butternut and Treadway".  I guess you could say it's a testament to the advertising that it has stuck with me all these years.

* I'm going to bed now.  Good night.
