New Favorite TV Show

Dead Like Me. We got streaming Netflix and now I can't stop watching this. I mean, I stop, when the dryer buzzes so I can change out the laundry and maybe Swiffer or vacuum. But I've got to say... this is pretty entertaining.

And fun fact: Ellen Muth is a member of MENSA. How awesome is that?

Coffee??? How do I make it?

I'm a horrible coffee maker. How does everyone make coffee??? I follow the directions - 2 tablespoons per 6 oz of water. BUT, it always turns out kinda gross. What the heck am I doing wrong? How do I perfect the art of coffee making?

In Hawaii we had the best Kona and K'auai coffee. It was amazing. So I bought some to make at home and um, I'm not doing it correctly!

BTW - we have a Krups 12 cup coffeemaker. It looks like this:

Are You Following Me on Networked Blogs?

Because apparently I'm one of the Top 50 followed blogs in Minnesota on Networked Blogs in Facebook. Not so sure if that's a good thing though - I don't have too many followers on that! But then again, I don't update as often as I'd like.

Interesting.

Maybe it's because it's starting to get nice outside! And I can't wait for summer! So really, blogging this summer may turn into more photos of my feet and summer sunshine and pretty flowers and who knows what else??!!

Oh, and I've decided to order one of these:


Kitchenaid Professional 5 Plus

For $319 and FREE SHIPPING at Amazon - it's the same price at Macy's RIGHT NOW - but with Macy's you need to know the free shipping coupon code (CHOICE). If you don't know the code, then it's like $360 - that's a little more than I was planning on spending!

So - happy Friday! Happy almost weekend!

so I feel like a kid again!

Check out this height chart! It's totally made for adults, but it's theme is: "I'm as big as..."

How about the average size supermodel? A panda?

BWAHAHAHA!! This is great! Although I have to admit, for $9.99 I think I might have to purchase it. I'm pretty short though, so I'm probably not going to have too many interesting items on my height line!

You can find it at Perpetual Kid and they do free shipping on orders over $75. You'll find lots and lots of other stuff that reminds you of what being a kid is all about, hence the name of the store.

Obviously.

Earth Hour

Earth Hour. It's coming...

The Google Reader

If you look closely, you'll see that there are a TON of subscriptions in my Google Reader. Some people tend to post more, others don't. And I've cleaned up my RSS feeds, believe it or not.

Generally I use Google Alerts for certain tags like green living, sustainability, cooking, etc... Those are shortened feeds which I only peruse the headlines (peruse... I really like that word). To get to this area of your Reader, click on "Trends" on the left hand side. I think you'll be surprised about who posts the most (Um, hello Perez) and who posts the least (which would be a friend that doesn't have the internet at home).

Mostly, I'm more addicted to iambossy.com, F***MyLife.com (which you can tell that a lot of these people are either in high school or make the shit up), Digital Photography School and my green living tips alerts (Oh, I can't forget Ideal Bite).

I try and go through my Google Reader daily, but sometimes I feel bad about commenting on a blog post that's older than a week. That's because I probably just got to it...

And you wonder why I've been posting randomly... I haven't had time to cook! I've been too enthralled with my Google Reader when I get home from work!

(Though, funny story = last night I made pulled pork and I didn't correct Bimmer Man when he called it chicken. Sorry, Bimmer. I just couldn't help it! You were way too cute!).

So, enjoy the stats!
