what's a new year's resolution post without mentioning the running man? both the movie and the dance are acceptable.

there are only a few more hours left in the year 2009. and what a year it's been. let me recap for you. (see archive over on the right side bar.) crazy, wasn't it?

and for 2010, i've got even more planned. for instance. i'd like to learn how to do the running man this year. you know. the dance. my friend carrie can do it. i'm gonna see if she'll teach me. i might even put on some nkotb.

in fact, i'm thinking of video recording my progress. you know. week by week updates on my technique, wardrobe malfunctions, injuries, etc. also. i should issue a challenge out to arnold schwarzenegger. see if he can perfect the running man before i can.

but really. i'm not going to do any of that. i wanted to get you all excited and then let you down. so that you'd feel this utter sense of disappointment and possibly even sadness. and while that's a horrible thing to do. just think.

the new year can only get better.

yep. you're very welcome. have a great one!

you can't see my pedicure because of these footed pajamas. and i can't see your pedicure because frankly, i don't want to.

it's been cold here at night. so. li'l tot and baby have been sleeping in their footie pajammies. also. so have i.

those are my feet you see there. don't mock my tiny feet. see the design? skulls. guitars. i'm hard core, man. and. i got gripper hearts on the soles of my footie pajammies. that's right. i don't slide in these babies. so i can totally chase you down.

i suspect, however, that my friend kimmy kim kim (who gave me these jammies for christmas) gave them to me because she thinks they're cute. whatever. ain't nothin' cute about me. i'm fierce, i tell you. especially at 2am when i'm trying to unzip the jammies to go potty.

note to self: loop a large ribbon through the zipper pull so that pottying in the middle of the night is easier.

men dolls - 1:12:christmas (special episode)

'twas the twilight before christmas,

and in the apartment,
lay edward cullen doll (the vamp),
and michael vartan doll (the gent).

as ecd began to drift,

he dreamt about the decorated tree,
and carrying mvd on his back,
he whispered, "better hold on, spider monkey."

mvd slept soundly,

whilst holding his gun,
and visions of ecd arose as he chuckled,
"i'm gonna shoot you. you'd better run!"

early the next day,

before the morning dew,
the roomies awoke and went skating,
and snapped this christmas card just for you.

the end. have a great week!

i'm running like a stripper at a victoria's secret sale.

tonight was my first race ever.

so it was in the low 50s here tonight. which is like freezing to me. and knowing how cold it would be, i went out earlier today and purchased a lovely (hot pink, of course) jacket to run in. and some pants. slimming pants. black with a low rise pink panel pants. we're talking totally hot lookin' pants.

and you know what i'm going to do? i'm going to take those slimming, black with a low rise pink panel, totally hot lookin' pants and toss them right in the fireplace. burn you motivator, burn! let me tell you. those pants of mine? well. they decided they wanted to keep falling down. i mean. they didn't fall down - fall down. but they kept trying to. dude. i had to hold them up while i was running. i'm thankful the race was at night. in the dark.

still. i had a blast running it out with my friend vanessa. i'm so glad we were able to run together. also. i hope my mouth was closed for the finish photo. and. i hope my pants are up around my waist for that photo, too.

brytonpick review

dude. it looks like a tiny little boomerang. and it comes in pink. so obviously. i had to say yes when given the opportunity to review brytonpick.

brytonpick is an interdental cleaner. it's an alternative solution for times when you can't get your hands on floss. basically. use brytonpick instead of a business card or paperclip or (insert weird office supply product here).

so when i opened the pouch, and held the product, i had an immediate fear of cutting my gums. mainly because it's made of (germ resistant) stainless steel. i had to read the instructions and watch the video like a million times. after assuring myself that i'd be fine, i tried it out.

and it worked. it took the slim jim right out. the thing is though. it felt great between my upper teeth. however. i've got some crowding in my lower teeth. which means. i was not able to fit brytonpick between those. and man did i try.

i like that brytonpick is reusable for 30 days. and that it's small enough to fit in my wallet. and while nothing beats floss, i do think brytonpick is convenient for on-the-go cleaning.

overall. i'd give them a 3 out of 5 rating.

this post was a review for brytonpick. the makers of brytonpick provided said item specifically for a review. but please note. this lovely post you just read is comprised of my own personal opinions - which were not influenced monetarily - as i was not compensated for the review. i'm just nice that way.

i'd only pick pretty locks with these. locks is a play on hair and actual door locks. did you get that?

no one ever complained about me being too pretty. except for my hubby. he's obviously really really smart.

so i got these gorgeous bobbie pins from shelly over at lemontreestudio. they're way too pretty to wear. still. i wore the blue rose one today. yes. i'm that confident.

additional proof of my confidence can be found here. that's where shauna of lemondropstudio announced me as winner of the lemontreestudio giveaway.

first. notice that both ladies are lemon (insert cool word here) studios. also. both ladies have names that start with "s". which leads me to possibly changing my name to sashay and starting up lemonwindstudio. you can extrapolate on the "wind" part on your own time.

anywhooo. sometimes i just want to be part of the crowd. like in "heathers". remember that movie? yeah you do.

my husband rocks.

that's not me. but it could be. if i bought the shirt. from union28.

but first. i'll try my hand at winning it on my friend's blog. you can try, too. i don't know why you'd want to walk around with a shirt that's all about my hubby and his rockin'. but whatever suits your fancy.

check out the giveaway on "much more than mommy". written and directed by my friend vanessa. and tell her i sent you. also. tell her i sent you. yes. i meant to write that twice. it's because i want you to tell her i sent you. and that's because i like to see my name everywhere. it makes me feel like i'm a headliner in las vegas.

also. i've never been to las vegas. but i love "csi: crime scene investigation" and big peacock feathered hats.

the end. have a great week!

brazil nuts are mostly exported from bolivia. that's what wikipedia says. take it up with them.

remember how the prizes in cereal boxes were so spectacular that you'd tear open the box and dig in all over with your grubby hands just to find the prize? that's what i do with my nuts.

first. get your mind out of the gutter.

second. i buy like this huge jug of mixed nuts just so that i can eat the brazil nuts. seriously. you can't find brazil nuts shelled deshelled shelled de without shells anywhere.

third. the rest of the nuts just sit there waiting to be picked. i feel bad for them. kinda like the same way i felt bad for myself back when i was in junior high and i'd always be the last one picked for team sports. i hated being a peanut.

scrabble is my most favorite game. if you call me a nerd, i'll punch you. i love pink! yay!

it's like visions of sugarplums dancing in my head.

also. i'm not 100% sure as to what sugarplums are. so. this is what i imagine them to look like. a pink scrabble game.

if only money were pink. i'd probably save it a little bit better.

even though i knew, i was still surprised. i'm not schizo. yes i am.

ding ding. package delivery. for me.

they're clip-on earrings. because that's what i wear. and my friend theresa made them just for me.

she was like. "i'm going to send you a surprise in the mail!" and i was all like. "um. if you tell me. it's not a surprise."

but then today. when i opened up the mail. it was like. "surprise!" man. she's good.
