The Bigger The Hair...

I'm going to let out a little secret here... on the count of three... 
1... 
2... 


I LOVE TODDLERS AND TIARAS.  
Whew.  I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders!  Now I can speak freely.  Here goes nothing.

Toddlers and Tiara's is the scariest most amazing piece of crap artistry to ever grace TLC since, "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant".  Actually, if we're being honest here (and that's what this is, a place of honesty), the little victims princesses should probably keep their contracts with TLC because they will more than likely be on "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" Season 15.  If they aren't already on the equally brain-numbing enlightening MTV hit, Teen Mom.  (Teen Mom rant is for another place at another time...)  

Now, don't get me wrong, I love kids (see my previous profession), but what I don't love is CRAZY PARENTS.  (Again, see my previous profession)  On said television program I have seen the following exhibits of excellent parenting:

Exhibit A:  A mother forced her two daughters, Kylie and Karly, to compete against each other in the SAME age division in the SAME pageant.  If this isn't asking for a family therapy session, then I don't know what is.

Exhibit B:  Close your eyes.  Imagine this.  (Actually, leave them open so you can read this, then close them and imagine)  Hair piece on teddy bear.  Overly enthusiastic mother curling Teddy's "hair".  Two year old daughter standing in front of mother, staring at the iron.  Mother places HOT CURLING IRON ON THE COUCH.  What happens next?  I'll give you a hint:  The mom DOES NOT win mother of the year.

Okay, enough with the exhibits.  Let's get to the good stuff...
If you are one of my close friends (you know who you are you lucky ladies you), you know that I quote Mackenzie from Toddlers and Tiaras at least 100 5 times a day.  Whether its, "Let's put a clip in my hair and do this," or "Work it for me kitty!" I just can't help myself.  She's a train wreck waiting to happen and that is why I love EVERY minute of it.  I hope that video above brightens you day.  

I'm going to put my lipstick and eyeshadow on, then I'm off...

Until next time, 

After Much Pressure...

I finally did it!  Thanks to my WONDERFUL boss over at Real Dana Gentry I decided to start a blog.  Let me preface this with a WARNING! 95% of what will be posted will be complete and utter nonsense, but if that is your kind of thing (like it is mine) this is RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY! So, without further adieu... my first blog post...

Drumroll please!  My current obsession... Anything, and everything... Hungry Girl
Back in the day (6 years ago to be exact), when I went to the AMAZING University of Kentucky, my lovely mother bought me this book called "Hungry Girl."  At my young 18 years of age, I was insulted!  "Who are you calling a 'hungry girl' mother!?"  Everyone understands, I'm sure.  So, due to my hostility toward the purchase... I threw the cookbook on the floor (along with the rest of my books *shhh don't tell*) and ignored it.  

Here I am, 6 years later and COMPLETELY and UTTERLY obsessed (obsessed isn't even strong enough of a word) with Hungry Girl.  This site is 'totes amaze'.  (I guess I should have warned all readers about the unnecessary abrevs)  Let's continue.  They have some of the BEST low fat, high fiber, low Weight Watchers point recipes EVER.  Not only do they have fab (there we go again) recipes, but they update the site DAILY with healthy living and weight loss ideas.

Thanks to Hungry Girl I am currently obsessed with the following foods:
Okay, honestly, I hope you're like me and looking at this chocolate deliciousness above me thinking, "Okay, I was going to follow this chick's blog until she lied to me about that Vita-thing being low cal..."  Oh, but I'm not lying.  I'm not lying at all.  (So you can continue following, no worries!)  This little chocolate angel taken out of the wrapped and nuked in the micro for 15 seconds... HEAVEN! Get ready for the best part... it is 100 calories!  And I mean the WHOLE THING! And for any of you Weight Watchers people out there... it is 3 PointsPlus... okay, I'm done... Let's move on to my next obsession...

I have recently rekindled my love for PopChips.  We've had an on and off relationship ever since we met when they first hit store shelves.  We broke up for a minute when I burned myself out on them, typical of me.  Now, I'm proud to say, we are back together and happier than ever!  Original PopChips are, again, totes amaze!  You can eat 23 chips in 1 serving!  And you better believe, I'm eating ALL 21 chips!  Okay, I'm glad I've convinced you.. go buy some... 

I've saved the best for last...
I'm going to some this one up in a couple words...
60 calories.  Chocolate.  Creamy.  Delicious. Make you wanna smack somebody it's so good.
Okay, I think you get my point...

So, now that you've seen the three things I CANNOT stop eating, and now that I'm literally salivating after looking up pictures and websites for each yummy food, I'm going to sign off and grab a snack... I think you should too.

Until next time,
