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.

Coca-Cola (Coke)... I just did a search on my own blog, and I have never spoke of my love for Coca-Cola Classic. Frankly, I am shocked at myself. When I was younger, I would collect Coke memorabilia. I don't (like most things) have a reason for my collection. I think it started with a Coke bottle i bought back in 1994 to commemorate the NBA All-Star game that was in Utah. Actually, I think I had one from Christmas 1993. It doesn't matter. Coke is great. I don't like the many derivatives of Coke (Coke II, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Cherry Coke, C2, Coke with Lime, Raspberry, Lemon, Coca-Cola Blāk, etc.) There is only one spot for a soft drink in my life and that is Coca-Cola Classic. And don't think that because Britney Spears was a spokesperson for Pepsi that I ever even thought about switching... The rumors are just not true!...You Can't Beat the Real Thing.

Haircut... I gotta haircut today. I love getting haircuts. If it's short enough, I don't have to comb my hair for at least a week. Plus, it always looks the same, so no styling, no gel, no mess!! In case you were wondering, these are not the scissors used to give me a haircut.

Nieces/Nephews.... This is a work of art sitting on the fridge. It is the work of Brady. Brady is 3 (pronounced "thfree"). Pretty good circles correctly placed for a little guy that is 3. I love my nieces and nephews. Do they drive me crazy? You bet. But, they are able to put life into perspective that isn't possible as an adult. I find it very refreshing and at most times enlightening.
