You know, some days I just can’t brave the cafeteria food. This morning I was so proud of myself for remembering to put the Target returns in my car, that I drove off and left my breakfast on the counter and my lunch in the fridge. (And then didn’t even go to Target.)  So I had to check out the cafeteria to see what they were having at lunch. I was hoping it was Taco day because tacos pretty much make the world go round. But, alas, it was not to be. It was “chicken” fried steak day, and there’s just not enough gravy in the world to make me eat pressed meat. So I ended up with two cheese sticks and a banana. Why does cafeteria food have to be so gross? Anyway, I’m trying to blot out the memory right now with orange juice and tortilla chips. It’s slowly working…but I will not stop eating until I feel better.

I got a little holiday booklet from Old Navy last week, and it has all sorts of coupons and zany holiday tips. Like these brilliant conversation starters:

1. Are you double-jointed?

2. What do I look like upside down?

3. Can I wear your sweater?

Can I just say that their are certain kind of girls for whom this page of tips is for…and I don’t think it’s us. I mean are these questions to ask if you WANT to give the impression you’ve had too much egg nog?

I have literally watched this YouTube clip over and over. It makes me laugh out loud every time. I love the dog’s eyes.

Did you know this week 3 movie theaters in Boston, NY, and L.A. will be showing the Chargers-Raiders football game in 3-D? Like they needed something else to make football more addicting to men. The NFL says if it works well, it just might be in the future for development. Grrreat. Now I can watch the game and be totally bored and lost WITH DORK GLASSES ON. Even better.

I happen to love ABC Family Channel’s 25 Days of Christmas. Did anyone else see Holiday in Handcuffs with Melissa Joan Hart and A.C. Slater last year? Yeah, I didn’t think so…

Well, anyway, not only do they do 25 days of Christmas movies, but they do games too!  THIS GAME had me yelling at the screen. You can find other ABC Family games HERE, but if you’re like me, they won’t exactly inspire feelings of yule and good cheer.  THIS GAME, though not really a Christmas theme, was more fun. But just in case you want to avoid studying for finals, grading finals, or TV is just a rerun again, that should provide plenty to keep you busy. And it will be good practice for those eye-hand coordination skills, which we all know are important when time to rip into packages on December 25th.

Have a lovely rest of the week. I’m going to pretend to write a novel and not think about the tortilla chip salt in my knife wound. (I cooked. Again. When will I learn?) And I might do a little more turkey bowling…
