5 Things: One Way Ticket To Gitmo, Plz. With Tanya Harding And Pork On The Side.

1. It baffles me that people pay good money to hear Sugarland. Really? Maybe the dude singer is worth it, but I wouldn't know because I can never get past the squawking of Jennifer Nettles. I hear her sing and it's the train wreck scenario....I can't NOT listen; I have to hear it just to confirm that yeah...it's that bad. I mean, can a person be born with that much nasal, inbred twang or is it an acquired annoyance? And it's a total catch-22.... surely one's voice isn't created that way....but why on Earth would you choose to develop your God-given voice into THAT? I don't know what's worse...the actual voice, or the fact that people PAY to hear it. It's like paying to be tortured, except that waterboarding HAS to be less painful.

2. I bet Tonya Harding & Kellie Pickler like Sugarland.

3. A few days ago someone put a box of sausages & cheeses (sealed) by our mailbox... no note, no phone call.... NO idea who left it there. Is that weird? I feel like it's weird... I mean, I would leave a note or card or something... Wouldn't you leave a note? I hate questions that are never answered. For the rest of my life, I'll be trying to figure out who left a Johnsonville Meat & Cheese Set With Bamboo Cutting Board and Serving Knife by my mailbox. Just like one time 3.5 - 4 years ago, a girl said hi to me in the meat (omgz, irony alert!)section at Lowes Food; she called me by name. I STILL try to figure out who she was and it drives me craaazy. So if you left a Johnsonville Meat & Cheese Set With Bamboo Cutting Board and Serving Knife by my mailbox or said hi to me in the meat section at Lowes Food 3.5 - 4 years ago, kindly tell me who you are, thank you. Or if you accidentally left a Johnsonville Meat & Cheese Set With Bamboo Cutting Board and Serving Knife by my mailbox and it was actually intended for someone else, you can let me know that, too. It's still sealed. Unfortunately we don't eat pork. :o(

4. I miss pork. Pork chops, pork tenderloin, pork roast, pork link sausage, pork sausage patties, pork country ham, pork any other kind of ham, pork bacon, pork livermush (no comments), porcupine (ok, just kidding), pork pork pork pork pork pork pork.

5. Tonya Harding is a dumb porker.

5 Things: This One's Boring. Don't Read It.

1. I don't own a microwave. Never will.
2. I don't believe in psychics. And even if I did, I wouldn't understand why people visit them.... Where's the fun in knowing everything ahead of time? Does knowing what lies ahead make people manipulate what otherwise would have happened naturally? And really.... just like with horoscopes, give me 10 different psychics' descriptions / predictions / whatever and I can make it fit my life.
3. Sharapova should have stuck with Prince racquets instead of switching to Head.
4. I wish Mitch Hedberg hadn't died.

5. Bananas.

5 Things: Tiny Little Miracles (A Few Days Late)

Forgot to actually post this on Friday. Erps.

1. THREE years ago today, God and my best friend brought two VERY premature little miracle babies into the world.... Hayden weighed 2 lbs and Kolby weighed 1 lb 14 oz. Now they're beautiful, happy, potty-trained toddlers! Time fliiiiiiiies!
2. Why is it that the only excuse people can give for hating Sarah Palin is "because she's stupid," without providing any reference or example? Really??? The President thinks there are 57 states in America and those same people think he's the smartest person ever elected to office. Hmm.
3. Did I mention Dook lost to Florida State? Yeah. They did. Happy, happy, happy, happy day. (And yes, I do know I already mentioned it.)
4. The Miss America pageant is tomorrowwwwwwwww! LOVE me some Miss America. Love it. But why??? I mean...is there really a point anymore? Does the platform actually better anything or serve a purpose? I hope so...and I'm pretending it does, even if it doesn't.
5. Girl Scout Cookie Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!

5 Things: Pickles & Weaves

1. You know it's going to be a good episode of Police Women of Memphis when the cops roll up on a domestic call and the first thing they discover is two different colored weaves laying in the middle of the road. Ahh yeeeah.
2. Dill pickles, Gatorade, and Yoohoo do not mesh well in one's stomach.
3. I'm staring at 3 feet of snow. The thought that God created each single solitary snowflake that has ever fallen and none of them look the same is incredible! If He took that much care in creating each snowflake, imagine how he felt creating you :oD
4. Did you know you can actually eat the berries that grow on Dogwood trees?
5. Florida State beat Duke last night. I can't begin to describe my elation... It's like I got a pony for Christmas!!

5 Things: Van Gogh, Capehart, and My Lil Sissy

1. Vincent Van Gogh is my favorite artist. Well, dead artist. My favorite living artists are my sister and my stepdad...and not because they're my sister and my stepdad, but because they're amazing (Photos below... Top piece is one of my stepfather's paintings, bottom is one of my sister's.).
2. I used to have a snowmobile. Three, actually. Miss 'em. Bigtime. ESPECIALLY this winter.
3. I have 3 cats, but I can't ride them in the snow. They're pretty awesome other than that.
4. I love Sharpies. SharPIE, not Shar PEI. Shar Peis are cute, but they don't come in green or purple.
5. Every state in the US except Florida has snow right now. Pretty rad.
