M-I-C-K-E-Y......

Ugh....not going to go into details, but today was "one of those days".  I'm sure you have been there too.  Instead of sitting in my sorrow, I decided to flip through some pictures, and I came across this one.  This one makes me smile, but also makes me a bit sad because she is no longer this little girl.  Sure, she gets excited when we see Mickey Mouse, but she will never be as excited as she was this day.  This was taken January 2007, and it was her 2nd trip to Disney World.  You just can't bottle this type of excitement!

Not My Proudest Moments......

Alright...I am going to admit five things that I have done and that I am not all that proud off...but at the same time, I'm not ashamed of them either.  Think what you want people.  Who are you to judge?    
  

1)     I have played the “I Had Cancer” card to get better seats at a Bruce Springsteen concert.  I even showed the usher the scar on my neck to drive the point home.  It worked – we got great seats for one of his last concerts at the Spectrum.

2)    I have played the “I’m Pregnant” card to get better parking at a Phillies game.  Granted, I was seven months pregnant at the time, but I was in perfect health.  I just didn’t want to have to walk to the stadium.  I gave the parking attendant a sad look, and he waved us through to the handicap lot.

3)      I have played the “My Mom Passed Away 8 Weeks Before My Wedding” card to get a better deal on a new car. 

4)    I have played the “I Had Cancer” card to get others to do my dirty work.  Dirty work in this case means I didn’t want to walk to the bar to get a beer.  I was simply being lazy, and asked my cousin “F” to get me a beer.  He said no….I said the word cancer….and off he scurried.

5)     I once wore a knee brace at Disney World, which enabled me to jump to the front of the line after a cast member expressed concern that I would be standing too long.  Disclaimer: I did this for one ride, and felt so guilty, I took the brace off and dealt with my pain for the rest of the day.

Everyone has moments like this.  Now is the time to come clean…..

Tasty Thursday

Brother-in-Law #1 LOVES this dessert.  Brother-in-Law #2 HATES this dessert.  I'll let you decide. 

Peanut Butter Pie

1 graham cracker pie crust
1 container Cool Whip, thawed
1 block cream cheese, softened
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter

Mix cream cheese and milk until well combined.  Add peanut butter, and continue to mix.  Add cool whip, and again, mix until until combined.  Pour mixture into the pie shell.  Freeze for 4 hours.

Super easy, right?  I'm telling you....my husband's family loves this. 

You wanna know what I love?

Love him.

Come Back Urkel...I Miss You

What the hell happened to family television? 

Why am I forced to watch iCarly, and Wizards of Waverly Place, and Good Luck Charlie?  Why is is okay to portray kids as being smarter than the adults.  Every adult character on those shows are morons.  Why are we okay with that?

Are teens having as much sex as the characters are on The Secret Life of the American Teenager? That show is like soft porn for high school students.  I'm not a prude by any means, but my word.

Reality shows blow.  I hate American Idol, America's Got Talent (although I will watch it now that Stern is a judge), Dancing With the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, The Voice, and so on, and so on, and so on.  I despise all reality shows....except for Extreme Couponing and Dance Moms.  Yeah, you caught me.  Those are my secret vice.

Why aren't there any family shows on from 8-9 pm that my entire family can enjoy together?  What happened to Uncle Jesse, Urkel, The Seavers, Kevin and Winnie, and the Keatons?  Where is John Boy?  How about Cousin Larry?  Remember when the Huxtables would put on a show for their grandparents anniversary?  Alf and Willie?

I guess I just have to wait for them to come on air later today on Nick at Nite.
