a bagel with cream cheese and bacon

2010-03-06T07:52:04-06:00

Bacon and cream cheese on a toasted sesame seed bagel. One of my old co-workers introduced me to that combination, and I remember her every time I have one.

Bacon is overrated.

2009-09-30T08:33:35-06:00

The first piece is delicious, the second piece is meh, and by the third piece, I'm done with bacon for a few more months.

television is more expendable

2009-09-25T08:51:02-06:00

Watching dvds on my laptop would be less convenient, but it would be much easier for me to go a month without a television than it would be to go a month without a computer or cell phone.

jail would be better with entertainment

2009-09-24T14:38:14-06:00

my pups
They're fantastic company, highly entertaining, and excellent little space heaters.

my iPhone
It's so versatile. With it I'll be able to listen to mp3s, go online, e-mail & talk to friends and family, and read e-books, just to name a few.

my DS
Let's face it, sometimes I'm going to want to play some video games.

'10 Things I Hate About You' deserves to be watched over and over

2009-09-24T14:12:18-06:00

I'm saving my pennies

2009-09-24T13:28:22-06:00

for workout clothes from lululemon, a bodybugg, and a new car (either a Matrix or a Fit).

the trees are better

2009-09-24T13:23:52-06:00

I'd love to spend a week in a treehouse, especially if it was the Swiss Family Robinson's. The way their treehouse was set up was perfect - much better than spending a week in a tent or underground!

'Dead Silence' was a scary movie

2009-09-24T13:19:46-06:00

before I die, I'll learn how to speak Gaelic

2009-09-24T13:18:48-06:00

My desire to learn how to speak Gaelic is a result of my interest in the British Isles. I'd also love to learn how to speak Welsh.

I really just need a new car

2009-09-24T13:15:00-06:00

My car would be much more enjoyable to ride in if it had A/C that worked consistently, cup-holders, a cigarette lighter that didn't melt whatever was plugged into it, and a trunk that didn't leak.

money != evil

2009-09-24T12:58:12-06:00

I don't think an object can necessarily be good or bad in and of itself. The importance people place on an object is what makes it good or bad, in my opinion, so I think an unbalanced desire for money is unhealthy, not the money itself.

It's hard to apologize when when someone is making a big deal out of me being wrong.

2009-09-24T12:46:19-06:00

When someone makes a big deal out of me being wrong, it's harder for me to acknowledge that and apologize. I am able to apologize much more graciously when the presentation is more low-key.

I'd love to get more tattoos

2009-09-24T12:34:05-06:00

I would get Celtic tribal tattooing along the left side of my face, a half-sleeve with various animals (a river otters, dachshund, wolf, hawk, and penguin) on my left arm, paratrooper wings on the top of my right foot, paw prints on the arch of my left foot, the words "From this life to the next" in Gaelic on my left side, and a fox along my right side. If I liked the way they looked, I would consider having them done permanently.

'You Are What You Eat' is a fascinating book.

2009-09-24T12:29:33-06:00

I knew nutrition was important, but I was still surprised by the degree to which what people eat can cause visible changes.

'Silent Hill' was kind of a letdown

2009-09-24T12:26:09-06:00

If I had to, I could do without touch for a year

2009-09-24T12:24:13-06:00

I would be miserable without sight for a year. That's much too long to go without being able to read! Hearing is almost as important to me, so that's out of the question too. With three pups, it's crucial to be able to smell (just in case there's an accident), and I'd hate to have to go for a year without being able to touch things and feel what I'm touching, so I think I'd probably choose to go without taste, although I'd definitely miss potato soup.

if I were a multi-millionaire, saving my $ would be in order

2009-09-24T12:06:42-06:00

The first thing I would do is sit down and write a check for $50 million and put that in a savings account. The next thing I'd do is buy a new pair of jeans. Priorities. I has them.

Saturdays are A++

2009-09-24T12:04:54-06:00

It's my favorite day of the week because I don't have to get up early for work and I don't have to go to bed early. I can make plans on Saturday and still have Sunday to catch up on things around the house.

I'd be in Europe right now if I could.

2009-09-24T11:56:41-06:00

I went to Germany, Holland, Austria, and Italy when I was growing up, but I'd love to go back and re-visit those countries now that I'm an adult. I'd also love to visit the British Isles, France, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Macedonia, Denmark, and Norway.

If reading was an exercise, I'd be in amazing shape

2009-09-24T11:41:58-06:00

Ideally, the mental exertion from reading would burn calories and keep me fit so I wouldn't have to do cardio.

I'd pick the Air Force

2009-09-24T11:24:52-06:00

I love flying, so I've always been interested in the Air Force. I'm not sure how much I would like being an actual pilot, though.

I went from cassettes to records. Isn't that backwards?

2009-09-24T11:23:59-06:00

I first started listening to music on cassettes, but since my parents had a record player and several albums, I was listening to music on that soon after.

If I had a yacht, it would have a library.

2009-09-24T11:21:58-06:00

library
A library would be necessary for all of the books I'd want to read while I was at sea. It would have a large, cushy chaise for me to curl up on while I read and multiple lighting configurations so I could adjust the lighting as needed.

A Sephora, Banana Republic, and Whole Foods in my town would be nice

2009-09-24T11:17:48-06:00

my clothes have plenty to say, but none of it's breaking news

2009-09-24T11:13:25-06:00

Right now my clothes say I'm casual, a jeans person, and that I need new jeans sooner rather than later. They also tell where I work.

Someday I'll have a cottage with a fenced yard and lots of space between my house and any neighbors

2009-09-24T11:08:03-06:00

I'd love to have a little one-story stone cottage or log cabin with a master bedroom, a guest bedroom, and room enough for a library, craft room, and space for the dogs. The house has to have a fenced yard so my pups can run around freely, and I don't like interacting with people unless I choose to, so I would prefer not to have neighbors close enough to make unwanted interaction necessary.

dogs have it made

2009-04-22T20:23:24-06:00

They sleep, eat, and play all day while their owners go to work so they can continue to provide kibble and a warm spot in the sun. Who's got the better end of that deal?

comfort food

2009-04-08T14:10:38-06:00

McDonald's hamburger, medium fries, and a large Coke (no ice)

stuck in an elevator with:

2009-04-08T14:07:28-06:00

Ryan Reynolds
He's entertaining and hot. Even if we couldn't get out, at least we'd have a good time.

Indiana Jones
His stories would help pass the time, and he might just be able to get us out of the elevator.

Chuck
Casey and Sarah wouldn't leave him in the elevator long, so I know we'd be getting out of there ASAP.

It looks like your room has been lived in by pigs!

2009-04-08T13:59:12-06:00

Jillian Jiggs reminds me of cleaning up my room after my sister and I had been playing all day.
