Used Underpants= Gross

nataliedee.com


Ewwww.... I just don't understand what would possess people to purchase underwear from a thrift. store. Underwear, bras, socks, tights, and swimsuits are the items that I would NEVER, ever purchase from a thrift store. Even if I went home and sterilized them, I still would be weirded out. It might be all the years of retail and all the awful things I've seen people do to clothes that creeps me out. Yuck. Not to mention that used underwear is just nasty.

My Favorite Part of Living in MN

You know what I enjoy the most about living in MN? The passive aggressive MN Nice. It really makes communications so much better . Can't everyone just speak their mind? Seriously.


NOTE: Just in case my sarcasm isn't coming through loud and clear, I am being sarcastic.

BURPLE!

I heart Burple! That was such a cool thing back in the 80's. I loved the sound that the plastic accordion bottle made. The juice inside? I have no idea what that tasted like...it was all about making the Burple. If I recall right, Burple didn't last too long. People must've caught on that Burple tasted just like Kool-Aid.

Grrr...

I need a vacation. A super long one.

Rip Van Winkle

I am not quite sure how this happened, but I've been getting way more sleep than I normally get. I've been averaging 11+ hours a night. It annoys me because I have stuff I need to get done before I go to work, but that doesn't seem to make me get up early. Maybe I really need it or maybe it's the weather. Whatever it is, I am tired of being Rip Van Winkle. I don't need 11 hours of sleep everyday. Once in a while, yes, not everyday. Grrr...

Move Over, Martha

I am not Martha Stewart. I'm often seen as the anti Martha. because I am not very domestic. The first time I brought a cake I made to work, I shocked everyone. It's not that I don't like to cook, I just rarely have the time. Today I took the time to make some chili using my mom's recipe. It is seriously the best chili I have ever had. And it's so simple to make. Did I mention that there's lots of leftovers, too? That's best part.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients
1 lb. ground beef or turkey
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup green pepper
2 15 oz. cans drained Kidney Beans
1 Tablespoon chili powder
dash of salt and pepper
3 cups tomato juice
Add a couple of drops of lemon juice
Dash of cinnamon

Directions
1. Brown meat and onion.
2. Add everything else. Bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes, stirring frequently.

Serve hot-- I like to top mine with a bit of shredded cheese and oyster crackers. It is the perfect meal for fall.

Yet Another Reason to Hate Disney

I was so sad when I found out that the Satellite Sisters are parting ways with ABC Radio. I know this might make me seem dorky, but I really enjoy listening to them. For those of you not familiar with the show, it's five sisters that talk about pretty much everything-music to movies to current events to literature to everything in between. I really like how smart and savvy they are. It's not the typical stupid chick talk. But of course, anything smart and funny doesn't last. Unfortunately, stupid chick talk prevails in our society. I know that after November 9th, I can still download the podcasts, but it won't be the same.
