Things people talk about....

So, I am at a friends house for dinner and somehow the topic went to ~heated~ toilet seats. I did not realize until last night that I have an opinion, a strong one, when it comes to the subject of ~heated~ toilet seats.

Sure at first glance, and on a COLD morning a ~heated~ toilet seat might sound nice. But no, I have a flash back to a family reunion. I had to pee, but the bathroom was occupied. After a few minutes, the door flies open, an awful stench and a very large man are not far behind. In my innocence I run right in and sit on the ~heated~ toilet seat. GROSSNESS!!!

I want my seat cold and fresh, thank you.

Truth

James Frey and his memoir "A Million Little Pieces" has had a lot of press. Mostly about the article posted on the Smoking Gun website. I read the book, I was deeply shaken by it. It was not the "details" of the crimes he committed, but the emotional and physical turmoil that he had to wade his way through. He came out a better person. That is all that matters.

He is going to be on Oprah again today.

Football

I normally do not watch football on tv. I prefer a good chick flick! But I could not stop surfing back to the Steelers / Colts game today. It was a great game. And I must say, being from Pennsylvania, YEAH STEELERS!!! May they go all the way! I will be watching.

Year of the Diva

I was talking with a friend last week and she has decided that this is the year she becomes a Diva. I did not realize that one could just decide to become a Diva. She had laser eye surgery, new hair do, fake nails, and a facial wax job (that I must say ~ did not get everything). I guess if she is happy - then more power to her! Go Girlfriend.

I am not one for New Years Resolutions, I do like to evaluate myself from time to time. Just to see what track I am on. I generally am not on the "right track" but I am heading in a good direction. I am recommiting myself to going to the gym on a regular basis. And I am checking in weekly with my S.I.L. via email, just to hold myself accountable for my eating habits. I do better when I have to admit what I am putting in my body!!! I am not looking to be skinny - just smaller.

I did put fake nails on during Christmas. I am going to have to get them removed. I do feel more girly with them on, but they really get in the way. I fear them getting to long and causing me pain in the bathroom! EEWWW!!! I know - very gross thought, but someone has to say it! Sorry.

Personal Ads

I live in a small town. Posting a personal ad on the internet is not going to be a secret for long. I like to look them up every now and then. I get a good chuckle.

Today a man walked into my office, a man that I recognized from the ads. In his ad his pic was not too bad. I know, I am a jackass, but now that I have seen him in person...... I understand.
