Hannah: I think that guy looks like a pizza delivery man. Don't you?
Me: Sure, I guess so.
Hannah: Actually, I think he looks like Barack Obama. Doesn't he look like Barack Obama?

Nathan: (As he is wildly punching the air with the controllers) I'M GONNA BEAT YOU DOWN, BARACK OBAMA!!
My hair is living a lie.
It’s clean on the outside, but inside, it’s sooo oilyeeeee. Why? Because I was too lazy to actually take a real shower and thought it would be easier to wash my hair in the bathroom sink. I’ve washed my hair in sinks before, so I figured it would be simple. I then remember why I had never washed my hair in that particular sink before. It’s because the sink is too small...
The kids are watching Hannah Montana
And as the phrase goes, “Shoot me with a spoon”. Please, just do it. Gah.
So, Today...
I was babysitting the twins (9 years-old) and we were doing our hour of individual reading as prescribed by the parents. The girl decided to read her beginner’s Bible that was made for children and had vivid illustrations and everything. She had never read the Bible before, and I was helping her with pronouncing different names and words. She got through the first couple chapters of...

Mighty Thing of the Week: Christmas Edition
The Mighty Thing of the Week is my cat, Little One. That’s her name. When we first got her no one could agree on a name for her, and Little One was a term I used to refer to her, because she was tiny at the time. It stuck. My other cat is very territorial, and doesn’t allow Little One out of the basement much. But when I’m home from school, I’m her protector. I take...
So, the kids that I nanny for are nine years old and like to play house. And by ‘play house’I mean they like to make up random imaginary scenarios for us to get involved in. Sometimes we end up spending hours in some world of suspended reality. Let me tell you our story of the day, that came completely from the imagination of two nine year olds:
I was the mother an they were both...
Today I went sledding with the kids I'm...
and I got sentimental. I’ve gone sledding within the past couple years, but do you remember going sledding as a kid? It’s somehow different when your that age. I watched all the kids going up and down the hill, and the pure joy and excitement in their eyes was remarkable. They would get on their plastic sleds, speed down the hill for abut 5 seconds, have a pause to recover from the...

Want to know why I'm so excited right now?
Because I’m going Christmas shopping today! Sure I’m fueling the consumerist image of the Holidays and yadda yadda yadda blah blah blahI LOVE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!
I love it. I love picking gifts out for people. I like to think of myself as a very good gift picker-outer. I love wrapping the gifts. I love the whole thing so much that I hardly choose to care about the dent it may make...
Our Christmas Tree
I decorated it, and it’s not too shabby if I don’t say so myself! Give me tree like this, over a Martha Stewart designer tree any day. I also decked the mantle. It’s a little Marthe Stewart-ish, but I came up with the idea of wrapping white lights and silver garland together, all on my own.
I love Christmas.
I just saw Avatar in 3D.
It was so remarkable, I can only think of the following remarks to describe it.
It was amazing, with intense social commentaries, beautiful imagery, and special effects and graphics that made it nearly impossible to tell what was real and what wasn’t. Add 3D and it was like you, as a viewer, could actually get lost on the planet Pandora. I could see a huge fan fire emerging from this...
Bananas for Bison

You guys know I’m not a huge meat eater, but this is one type of meat I don’t feel as bad about chowing down on. ETA: BECAUSE IT’S HEALTHIER (read the post!!), NOT BECAUSE IT’S UGLY! I eat both cute and ugly animals alike.

About 15 minutes ago...
I was sitting on the ground in front of the t.v. with my dog, Mary, when she simultaneously farted three, loud, stinky times, in a row…while licking herself.
People may say cats are gross in the way they lick themselves, have fur-balls, and poop in a box, but at least they aren’t that gross.
P.S. the show’s called Moonlight.
I know.
I watched a T.V. show about vampires today.
It was mainly about a mysteriously handsome vampire/private detective living in modern day L.A., who is basically in love with a attractive female human/reporter. And together they solve crimes while dealing with the complicated sexual tension between two people who are from different worlds and can never be together.
I know. It’s a unique plot, right? Never heard of anything like this...
Dear lady who is singing the Christmas song on the...
The lyrics are “Giddy-up, Giddy-up, giddy-up, let’s go”. NOT “Giddy-AP, Giddy-AP, Giddy-AP, let’s go”. Ew, stop it. That’s all.
Sincerely,

Bella
I just watched a movie titled Bella and it was a truly intriguing movie. It was a bit confusing in one part at the end, but that, I think, was only because I came into the movie about a half and hour late. But there was still that moment at the very end when I went “awwwww!” in a kind of revelation of plot poetry. I love plot poetry. When the plot weaves itself so intricately and...

What is it with popcorn and Christmas? This is really the only time of year I see such mass quantities of those huge canisters of popcorn being sold, and this is the only time of year I see people I know actually giving and recieving them. Huge, decorative, tin canisters of assorted popcorns. Why Chirstmas? Why Popcorn? Why huge decorative tins? Why?
Mighty Thing of The Week: Star Wars
Enough said.
So here's an awkward situation for you:
Yesterday morning, I was having a conversation via computer chat with unroductiveprocrastination when I hard some men’s voices in the house/dorm I live in. Only girls live in the house, so when I heard the burly baritone voices shouting at each other through the walls, I got a little scared. It sounded like they were either in our basement or our bathroom. With the encouragement of my...

This looks so cool.
Things I've learned from movies:
~ Don’t let your loyalty to an actor influence your loyalty to a character. It gets in the way of appreciating the movie for what it is. Example: “I didn’t like that movie. So-and-so is such a great actor, but why did he have to play the bad guy?”
~ Go potty before the movie begins, or hold it in. Because it is NOT THE SAME when you leave in the middle to go to the...
The Lady of Shalott, by Lord Tennyson
On either side the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye, That clothe the wold and meet the sky; And thro’ the field the road runs by To many-tower’d Camelot; And up and down the people go, Gazing where the lilies blow Round an island there below, The island of Shalott.
Willows whiten, aspens quiver, Little breezes dusk and shiver Through the wave that runs for ever By the island...
