Confessions... So, 2008 is over. I remember sometime last year, I had made a goal to scan something everyday. I laugh at that goal now. It's hard and I complain to easily... not a good combination. Because 2008 is over, I can make a few confessions about the dreaded year:

1. I saw New Kids on the Block in concert (AKA NKOTB). It was a free ticket that my friend won. But, what's worse? I actually enjoyed myself. I can't honestly that I enjoy all of their songs, but I gotta give them credit for getting up there and not caring if they were making a fool of themselves... I guess they are laughing all the way to the bank.

2. I saw High School Musical 3 on opening night... It's true. I have seen all three on their premiering night. I actually watched HSM 1 on it's television premiere. I bought the soundtrack that same night... Believe it or not, the store only had a stock of 3 copies. Not because they were sold out, but because that's all that was ordered for the store. Who woulda thunk? (I am getting tired of people obsessing over it)

3. Taylor Swift's song "Love Story" is actually growing on me... but only the Pop Edit.

4. I am thinking of opening a Facebook account. I wasn't really against it, I just didn't want to start yet another something that I would just end up ignoring... ie: this blog.

5. My iTunes library has 22,877 songs. And it's growing everyday.

"These are my confessions"... more to come.

Please feel free to leave a confession from 2008.

High Fructose Corn Syrup... I know you are all just dying to find out what I have to say about Britney's new album and concert, but that will just have to wait (the verdict is still out even though, we all know where I will side)... Anyway, tonight's blog is about my love for Betty Crocker and her amazing talents when it comes to make junk food with High Fructose Corn Syrup. So, I want to say thank you Betty. My personal favorite is Gushers. Do you know who else likes gushers? Hilary (no hugs please) Duff.... This is what she had to say about them (try to make sense of the transcript and keep in mind that she was probably 14 at the time:

Hilary: I really like these candies.
It’s really bad for you, they’re called “gushers,” and they’re, like, filled
with this liquid stuff, and they’re really, like –

Conan: Is it a gum, or just a candy?

Hilary: No, it’s — it’s like, it comes in a package, and it’s got,
like, little, it’s not like candy, but it’s definitely not good for you.
It’s like, gummy-type –

And that my friends is what a gusher is ... liquid gummy candy. So, instead of filling stockings with traditional candy, why not fill them with something that has some fruit (pears from concentrate and grape juice from concentrate). I promise you won't be disappointed.

Ads...I've looked at a lot of ads this past weekend. I thought I would make the traditional trek to the black friday sales. I didn't. I don't regret it either, I got to sleep and that was worth more than getting a CD for $7 rather than $10. BUT, this morning I was inspired by this ad to go to the local Dollar Tree store in hopes of possibly seeing these 2 scary children. One friend commented that "they look like they are 50 but photo shopped to be 6." I happen to agree. I can't put my finger on the kid on the left, but the girl on the right looks like one of those annoying ladies on The View:Apparently, her name is Sherri Shepherd. Actually the little boy looks a lot like Meg Ryan. Strange, I know. Well, Happy Shopping to all of you in this crazy season.

Thanksgiving... Today is Thanksgiving. I like Thanksgiving for many reasons. The primary reason would have to be that our country decided to always put it on a Thursday, which usually means you get to take Friday off too! Because it's just silly to come back from a Holiday only to work one day and go into the weekend.
I chose this scan for a couple of reasons:
1. Macy's is an American Institution
2. They host a Parade on Thanksgiving that is always way too long and has way too many commercial breaks and way too much lip syncing, yet I still love it.
3. This scan also shows Santa and it's a little symbolic of the Holiday season that will be ushering in tomorrow with Black Friday.
4. This scan is from an ad and I love to look at all the ads on Thanksgiving morning as I eat breakfast.

On this Thanksgiving, I want to thank all of my blog fans for reading this trivial mess.

Happy Birthday Nicole... The beauty about Nicole's birthday is I have never been able to remember if it is on the 24th or the 25th. It's always been close to Thanksgiving and sometimes even lands on Thanksgiving. Only Nicole knows the significance of today's scan. It makes me laugh even thinking about it. Nicole is a great person, she knows it... everyone knows it. I know she thinks that because I didn't blog on her actual birthday that I forgot... Actually, it's a combination of many things, but mostly laziness. Scanning has become a tiresome practice and in these lean times I really wanted to conserve energy. Of course I am kidding, I really was just lazy and needed the perfect scan for such a cool person and I finally found it. The question was whether or not to put it up on the 24th or 25th??? How bout I back date it to the 24th but just know I actually did it on the 27th and your birthday was really on the 25th.
Happy Birthday Nicole and don't eat too much corn on Thanksgiving!!

Britney's Back!... For all of you haters out there (especially those that were hatin during the hatin period)... Britney is back and she's on top... Number 1 on Billboard Hot 100 (making a record jump from #96), Number 1 single on iTunes, Number 1 Video Download on iTunes. That's all I got to say....

Things that aren't funny... Well, for one, "The funnies." Why they are even get the distinction of "the funnies" is really beyond anything I can figure out. To some degree, it even disturbs me, because I am left thinking... "wow, someone out there is laughing at this??..I wonder who?" What makes this particular "funny" ironic... is the fact that the title is "F Minus." My sister refers to unfortunate events with the curse "F MINUS!!" So, in effect, this "funny" is actually deserving of an F Minus grade.

Another item that isn't funny and to some degree makes me want to puke is the tongue-and-cheek-look-at-modern-Mormon-life blog titled "Seriously, So Blessed." My other sister asked if I would check it out and find out why it is sooo incredibly popular... To that, I say... I have no idea... My guesses are: There are actually Mormon women out there that actually see themselves in the silly and retarded things that she carciturizes??? Ladies, if this is the case, please go out for a run and take a look outside. This "seriously, so blessed" blog is absolute trash, and what is even worse is that for every click you do on that blog, the he-she-Mormon-blog-phantom gets money.... THAT'S SICK!! Sure, he-she is out there blogging thinking to her-him self... I am so witty and people pay me for it... Don't let him-her think that!!

Oh, and to my sister who asked me to take a look at it......it is NOT funny... The-he-she-mormon-blog-phantom is on my (those we don't speak of) list.... Bad list to be on... sad for them.
