Three Tangent Tuesday: Valentine’s Day Addition

In honor of yesterday’s holiday, St. Valentine’s Day, I present to you three things I LOVE:

  1. I LOVE emptying the tray on the hole punch.  Weird, right?  When you take off that tray and the thousands of little circles fall out it is just so satisfying.  I mean, it is a visible clean slate.  You put the empty tray back on the hole punch and you start over fresh.  Every time.  It’s sort of poetic.
  2. I LOVE going out to eat at restaurants.  I know it’s more expensive than eating at home.  I know it’s usually less healthy than eating at home.  But it’s so fabulous to not be the one cooking and cleaning up.  So fabulous.
  3. I LOVE the smell of clean laundry.  Be it a Clean Cotton Candle or actual warm, fluffy clothes fresh from the dryer, there is no better smell out there.

Three Tangent Tuesday...in pictures!

1.  I love macaroni and cheese.  A freakish amount.  Not gourmet, fancy restaurant mac and cheese.  Not homemade (although my mom’s homemade mac and cheese does kick booty).  Kraft.  From a blue box.  Flavored with orange powder.  It rocks my socks off!  On last week’s Biggest Loser there was that girl (wish I could come up with her name) who’s temptation food was none other than Kraft mac and cheese.  She was all, “I could eat a whole box in one sitting”.  Ummm, yeah…me too.  EASY!



2.  When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut.  My visit to the Space Museum only confirmed that this is indeed the right path for me.  NASA may try to argue that I’m not the right fit, but Dear NASA…if you’re reading this…I am meant for you.



3.  I touched Kris Allen’s hand.  Yes, I did.  American Idol winner, Season 8.  Total eye candy, and a nice voice to boot.  He came to Alabama Adventure (ever been there?  Not a lot of rides, but a decent concert venue!) and did a concert for all of 200 people.  I stood right by the stage during the encore, where he reached down and touched my hand (and about 30 other people’s hands too, but my moment with him wasn’t cheapened by this J).  I instantly reverted into a 12 year old girl.  I screamed, clutched my chest, my knees went weak.  It was all I could talk about for the next two weeks.  It was AWESOME!  Before the show some local radio personalities came out and asked Kris Allen trivia questions for prizes.  I got picked to answer a question (Q: What was Kris’ first concert he attended?  A: Reba McEntire.  It was multiple choice and a lucky guess, I’m not that up on Kris’ past).  Anywho, I got picked, answered correctly, and was stoked.  The radio guys threw my prize to me.  A t-shirt.  I’m thinking a Kris Allen t-shirt is cruising through the air and into my arms, making for a cool, free souvenir and a great story.  When I open up the t-shirt, I’m unpleasantly surprised to find this:



Blech.

Three Tangent Tuesday

Here is the Accidental Runner version of Three Tangent Tuesday because The Hungry Runner Girl asked us to :)

1.  I love love love The Biggest Loser.  It is hands down my favorite show.  I have considered two things very carefully:

  • Gaining extra pounds so that I can go on the show and meet Bob and Jillian (this wouldn't be that hard, given my propensity for McDonald's and ice cream), or
  • Contacting the producers and pitching my idea for The Biggest Loser: Mini Edition featuring contestants needing to lose 25 pounds or fewer.  Are we less deserving of the healthy eating/healthy lifestyle tips that Bob and Jillian impart?  I think not.
2.  I like watching football.  The thing is, I can't pick a favorite team.  I enjoy too many of them.  The Packers (thanks to my stint living in Wisconsin), The Cowboys (I heart the cheerleaders, since I use to be a cheerleader and there's no classier organization to aspire to in the cheerleading arena), The Steelers (who doesn't love being in the stands when all those terrible towels start flying?), Da Bears (passed down from generations), you get the idea.

3.  I think being a stay at home mom would be stellar.  Today I hung out with my sick kid and had a super fun day watching silly cartoons, reading cool books, and making grilled cheese while my helper looked on:

Notice the Colts Jersey?  Our football fandom seriously has a multiple personality disorder.

Of course there were some chores going on too, but I think it would be a fair tradeoff for all the fun stuff.
