I hope I'm not the only one that sings songs to my pets. To Cornflake, I sing "C Moon" and substitute "C Flake" in the lyrics. He seems to enjoy it.
Today is lil' C's birthday. 
"C-Flake, to meeeeee"
Cool New Product Alert
I am not the type of girl who gets manicures. I have a few reasons for this-- price, practicality, and the fact that due to my love of milk and milk products, I've always had healthy, strong nails. But occasionally I do like to wear polish. However, I usually don't, because it is hard to apply to my dominant hand (the righty) without the result looking like a four year old applied the polish. Then there's the drying time...being the klutz I am, I always smear and smudge wet polish. Also, it chips and peels and generally looks trashy after about a day or two. So I've just stopped painting my nails altogether. And then I found this: 
Dry nail polish applications! No dry time, no difficultly applying to the dominant hand, no smearing. So excellent. Here are my results: 
I chose a sheer pink with light pink sparkles. Very subtle and nice. It was so easy, too! This brand, Incoco, is available only at Walgreens. I think I paid about $5. It comes with a nail buff/shine/file and cuticle stick, as well as a polish remover cloth. It says the applications should last for 14 days. Awesome!
Reflections on LOST
Hmm.
Gorgeous tropical island.
Jack. Desmond. Sawyer.
Food, shelter, etc...
Jack.
I think I'd be perfectly fine staying on that island.
Equally Scary on Land and in the Sea
I don't know why I watched this video, since I knew it would terrify me, and I was right, it did. Giant Sea Spiders!! WHY? :(
Wussiest Songs of All Time
In honor of Valentine's Day, amuse yourself with AOL Music's list of 111 Wussiest Songs of All Time
Count all the songs on there that you secretly (or admittedly--Whitney, "MANDY", ahem) like, and post your wuss total in the comments.
4 Under $4
In honor of the Month of Loooove, here's four things I love, all under $4.
International Delights flavored coffee creamers
So Delicious. I usually drink my coffee black, but once I tried the Chocolate Mint Truffle flavor I was hooked (alas, that flavor is only seasonal). Whitney, these creamers may make coffee palatable even for you.
Olay InShower Body Lotion
Lotion you put on in the shower...like conditioner, but for your skin. I thank Kerri for introducing me to this. It's amazing. I have never been very good at moisturizing after a shower, and so my skin was always dry. But this makes it so easy and smells fantastic.
Naked Juice Tropical Mango
Tastes like paradise. My mouth is watering just from seeing this picture. If you have not tried it, you must; not only does it taste amazing, but it's good for you, too!
Conversation Hearts
Classic and Sweet.
How Cold Is It?
Well, I have on two pairs of pants, and if I could have accomodated them, I would have added a third.
1. PJ Pants
2. Jeans
New Favorite Thing
Minute Rice Ready to Serve brown rice. It's quick (only one minute), easy (nothing to add), delicious, and good for you. I am terrible about bringing things to work for lunch. If I make my lunch ahead of time, I forget it at home. I always forget my lunch bag at work and wind up w/moldy disgusting Gladware. But this-- so easy.
Birthday
Me on my birthday last year:
Me on my birthday this year:
Last year's picture would have been vastly improved had it featured a cupcake, no?
I love you Fug Girls!
I have extolled the hilarity of the lovely ladies who created Go Fug Yourself, Jessica and Heather, many times before on this blog. Here is just another example of why I think they are my cyber bff's:
Still, at least Katie Holmes is interesting to talk about these days. In all the years I watched Dawson's Creek, I never particularly thought Joey Potter would ever make me think. She would make me enraged, irritated, annoyed, and at times murderous -- between Dawson and Pacey, or anyone and Pacey, THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS PACEY, fool --
I was just talking about Pacey this morning on the way to work! The answer is, indeed, always Pacey-- and speaking of Pacey, if the writer's strike ever ends, he is going to guest on some episodes of Grey's Anatomy. I haven't watched that show since it's first season, but you best believe I'll tune in for the Pacey episodes.
"It's a Major Award! I won it!"
I got a phone call from the Regional Vice President this morning-- I have never gotten a call from her, so when I saw her name on my caller ID I immediately thought "Good Lord, what did I do?" She called to tell me I am the recipient of the 4th Quarter Special Achievement Award! I am totally shocked-- whenever they send out the emails about this stuff, I always figure "ah, I'll never be nominated for that," so I'm pretty amazed that I was nominated, let alone that they selected me. It's really nice. I'm the kind of person that appreciates a pat on the back, so it means a lot to hear I'm doing a good job. Plus the bonus money is nice, too, especially this time of year. 
Two down. Ten more to go.
I KNEW I forgot to do something before I left the house this morning! Before I talked to John, I thought it was that I had forgotten to make my lunch. John just called me and told me that two Christmas ornaments were broken when he got up this morning, and then I remembered: I forgot to put the tree away before I left for work.
We just decorated our little tree last night, and already there's two casualties. Damn kitties! Actually, that should be singular, as in damn cat, Smokey. As soon as the tree was decorated he was right there, trying to bite (!) the ornaments and chew on the (fake) tree. Idiot. Cornflake just wanted to be near the tree-- either he saw all the flak Smokey was getting and decided he wanted no part of that, or he's not as DUMB as Smokey and didn't think glass would be tasty.
There are some ornaments that aren't glass, so they should be fine. We'll see what's left when I get home. I suppose it's too much to expect a cat not to be attracted to shiny, round things dangling on a tree. Sigh.
Smelly Cat
Cornflake is Smelly Cat. He has the worst gas EVER. He eats the same food as Smokey, so I don't know what his problem is, but it's gross. He will come over to me, all cute and "mew, mew, mew" and then will drop a bomb and run off. He is getting coal in his stocking if he keeps this up!
Water Pets, or: The Bane of My Existence
The jingle from this commercial has stayed lodged in my brain for, oh, almost 20 years now. No one at work remembers it, or the Water Pets toys, but my brain refuses to forget that cursed jingle.
The In Joke
Why Sponge Bob?
I think I've touched on this subject before, but it was quite some time ago, and a few folks may have missed that post. With the template change, I thought maybe I should explain the Sponge Bob thing. Contrary to everything my blog name and template suggest, I am not a die hard fan of Sponge Bob. In fact, I've only seen that cartoon a few times. Admittedly, it's funny and likable, but I don't have cable and wouldn't go out of my way to watch it if I did have cable, anyhow.
The real reason for SpongeBobAlliance is an In Joke resulting from a personality quiz regarding the cartoon character you are most similar to (obviously the answer being Sponge Bob). My bff's Kerri and Sydne took the same quiz and were also identified as Sponge Bob. There are some other details (this is the In Joke part, so, it's kind of unexplainable-- mystery is appealing, right?), and so Sponge Bob Alliance (SBA) was born.
Now Sponge Bob is a happy, fun guy. He wouldn't have a dark, stark blog template! So I went in search of a new template, and I found this little gem-- actually, it found me. I wasn't even looking for a Sponge Bob template, but there it was. It is happy, warm and bright --like moi, right?-- so I thought it fit quite well.
Mmm, Sugar
I have coveted Aquolina's Pink Sugar fragrance for a year or so now-- it is delicious, it smells just like cotton candy (which always smells far better than it tastes). I always have a hard time buying fragrance, though, because instead of spending $50 on a new fragrance I usually have free bottle of something or other that I've received for Christmas, so I don't really need a new one. It's a lot easier to part with $4.99, though, which I did gladly when I found Cotton Candy body splash at Walgreen's. It smells exactly the same! It probably doesn't last as long as the $50 fragrance, but for $4.99, that's okay with me. I love deals!
