We're Mean Girls.

We've all done this. Don't pretend that you haven't... it doesn't make you any better than us. M broke up with her boyfriend in February. There appeared to be some controversy over his ex-girlfriend. Today while we were sitting in the library, we of course had to look at pictures of his ex-girlfriend and make comments. M's comment takes the cake:

If that's what he's missing, I've got nothing for him. I can't compete with that. I mean, she's wearing white eyeshadow... and I know this picture wasn't taken in 1998!

Another Favorite

Yesterday while I was supposed to be getting ready for church, I was reminded of another favorite: The Sunday Morning Home Show. It's an awesome 1/2 hour infomercial from a local real estate office that gives virtual tours of homes that are having open houses in the area. Yesterday I said to myself, "Self--you get 15 minutes and then you have got to start getting ready for church." Thirty minutes later, I was still watching... and I was 15 minutes late to church... but I just can't help it! It's fascinating. I'll still never understand how people in beautiful $1.75mil homes can have such crappy furniture, but whatever.

Now if they could only start having more open houses on Saturdays, I'd be set.

An Instant Favorite

By now you all know how much I love celebrity gossip, right? It's certainly no secret. A few months ago I added another celebrity blog to my list of must-reads.

CELEBRITY BABY BLOG

all about celebs and their adorable offspring. Wholesome family entertainment. I became obsessed instantly, and now it's time that I share this information with all of you. You can thank me later :)

Overheard.

It's no surprise that my eating habits haven't exactly changed from the time that I was five. My favorite foods are all the same. On that note, I have a confession: on more than one occasion in the past month, I got the strangest craving... a gas station hot dog. When I have this craving, I drive to this nice little gas station down the road from school to get one. They have been phenomenal. Go ahead, judge me.

Today while I was sitting in the cafe area of the store, I overheard what could be the funniest thing I've heard in a while:

"He just went in the house, grabbed a gun, and shot out the windows. And that is how my mom's car got shot up."

I quickly finished my lunch and headed back to school.

I Don't Hate It...

I don't hate Heidi... you all know that I really feel bad for her, right?

Ok, that being said... PopSugar posted one of her new songs this morning. Surprisingly, I like the song... but Heidi's voice just isn't strong enough. Maybe a techno-dance version by Lady Gaga or wait a few years until it's age-appropriate for Miley Cyrus? Really, just someone who won't whisper it. What do you think of this song? Could it be good if someone else released it?

The Little Red Suzuki

I was scrolling through my phone to text my sister today and found a listing that I forgot about:

Car--Red Suzuki

I put this one in my phone on my way home from Michael's and Lowe's about a week ago. I was turning onto the interstate and I pulled up behind a car that looked like this:

But there was something different about this little red car. On the back, it had giant vinyl letters that said:

MY CELL: 614-893-4973
CALL ME NOW OR CALL ME LATER

So I risked my life putting that number in my phone while turning.... because it naturally sparked my interest. Only I'm too nervous to call it myself.

So that's where you come in! Will you call that number (block your ID, if possible) and see why he has his phone number on the back of his car?

You know what... that would be helpful if you wanted to call and tell him to speed up or move out of your way... or if his turn signal was on for miles... or if he had a flat tire?

It would be so fun if everyone called, don't you think?
Maybe he has a different reason for everyone?

If you call.... tell me what he says! Leave a comment!!

A Suggestion...

Dear Little Sister,

I'm sure you're still wondering what you could possibly get us for our wedding. Considering that you are just as passionate about cleaning products as I am, I have a suggestion... the H2O Mop!

Since I only have 3 channels, I ended up watching the infomercial on Saturday morning and I am sold. It picks up EVERYTHING! With STEAM. We need this. Thanks in advance!

Love,
Neen

Kathleen's Mosaic

I almost never do these, but this is a cool idea. Enjoy!

The Questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What is your favorite color?
4. Favorite drink?
5. Dream vacation?
6. Favorite hobby?
7. What you want to be when you grow up?
8. What do you love most in life?
9. One word to describe you?

How It Works:
A. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search: (http://www.flickr.com/).
B. Using ONLY the first page, pick an image.
C. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into Mosaic Maker: (http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/mosaic.php).
D. Change rows to 3 and columns to 3.

A New Rule.

Dear Supreme Court,

I propose a new rule for judges/justices: If you are not writing the majority opinion of the Court, but want to write a concurrence or dissent, you are limited to one page.*

*because if your opinion mattered, you would have been on the winning side.

I am just tired of reading these court decisions with 1 page majority decisions and 5 page concurrences. The concurrence or dissent is not law and really doesn't matter (unless I get called on in class). You have one page... choose your words wisely. Learn to state your case efficiently.

Thank You,
Kathleen

I Jinx Things.

On my way home from school/errands/Targeting, I picked up the mail. Nothing exciting... not that I'm really surprised... just a coupon for Bed Bath & Beyond and a postcard. I couldn't see what the postcard said at first... I only saw this familiar logo:

I picked it up and started reading...

Dear Kathleen,

We regret to inform you that we will no longer be publishing Domino.

(blah, blah, blah)

Starting in August, we will be replacing your Domino subscription with Glamour for the remainder of your subscription period. We think you will enjoy Glamour (insert retard-level description for a popular magazine here).

(blah, blah, blah)

Sincerely,

(Insert some random person's name here)

So, can someone please explain why everything I like gets discontinued? Do I jinx things?! Here is just a short list of things that I would bring back if I happen to become filthy rich someday:

1. Justice
2. Domino
3. Pond's "Bare & Repair" Eye Makeup Remover
4. PopTart Pastry Swirls
5. The right-turn lane by my apartment. (Who needs another bike path?!)
   

Season 5!

Can you believe season 5 is here already?? Let's discuss The Hills, shall we? Here are a few of my favorite lines from the first episode:

Lauren: So, which one of you invited Heidi?
Stephanie: Umm.. Loooo?
Lauren: I know Lo didn't invite Heidi; I was trying to be nice.

OR

Stephanie (to Audrina): Are you reading this? Out loud? On camera?

OR

Spencer: Touch me first so I can f* you up.

And now, a few words of advice:

To Lauren: Get rid of that hideous men's blazer that you insist on wearing over your dressy clothes. It's cute when a girl wears her boyfriend's jacket that is two sizes too big... it's not cute when she owns a men's blazer two sizes too big.

To Brody: I'm not even really sure why you're still here.

To Heidi: Colby sure seems cute... and you can't exactly blame your mom for trying now, can you?

To Spencer: I hope you hooked up with the skanky bartender. You're scum and I hope Heidi dumps you. Also, you fight like a girl.

It's No Wonder.

Yesterday, I watched General Conference on the internet at work. In between sessions I ventured through the building in search of food. I saw a girl that was seriously, perfectly skinny. The type of skinny that I would imagine only my resurrected body to be. I thought to myself, "I'm never going to look like that.... sad."

...and then I walked to the vending machine, got a Diet Mountain Dew and a bag of Fritos and went back to work.

So Sad.

MTV Shows

I'm really going to miss these boys.

Separated at Birth?

Left: Allie from "The City."
Right: A Bratz doll.
(Did anyone else notice this?)

A Theory

Many of you know that I no longer have cable. Well, that leaves me with three channels: NBC, ABC, CBS. I know, right? How do I even survive?!

Once upon a time I had a show on ABC. Remember a little show that got "postponed indefinitely" called Dirty Sexy Money? Apparently its ratings weren't high enough or some crap like that. They essentially canceled it... although they won't call it that. Instead, they left it on a cliffhanger and called in "postponed." Why? Because they had some awesome, brand new mid-season pilots to pick up. Awesome shows like "In the Motherhood," "Surviving Suburbia," and a show all about a man who thinks he's Cupid. Because clearly these will last an entire season and give ABC the ratings boost they're seeking--NOT.

But I think that I have discovered ABC's strategy... they lure us in with promising previews for new shows... and who doesn't tune in to see if this new show will be their immediate favorite? Who doesn't want to say that they watched it from the beginning and liked it before it was "cool"? My theory is that ABC is going to air new tv shows regularly to keep people interested. It's never going to be the same lineup... so that people continue to watch for the next big thing.

You don't fool me ABC... and it's not going to work forever.

Bring back Dirty Sexy Money!
