Pizza Bread.
I was thinking the other day if "Faith without works is dead" then pizza without toppings is bread.
There is actually a "Malcolm in the Middle" where Malcolm goes over to Stevie's house for a sleepover. Stevie then tells him that they are going to have pizza for dinner: "Cheese-less" breath, "Sauce-less" breath,"pizza." "That's just bread". "Yeah" breath "Pizza" breath "bread."
You may have noticed that I have made my blog private. It so happened that a creeper left a comment on my blog in another language, which proved to be not very savory. Anyway, there is my explanation. I am kind of upset because I didn't want to make it private. Some people just have to ruin everyone else's fun.
The other day I was occupied by cleaning out my closet. Unfortunately I decided to start at 7 pm, not realizing it would take me 5 hours to get it not-done. At about midnight I decided to pick up where I left off the next day. I then began to put everything back into the boxes I had been clearing out, and having gotten rid of nothing so far, had to start all over again the next day. This picture is showing the anatomy of a box. Inside the box there is usually crud that you would never even remember you had except for when you have to clean it out, and realize that you can't possibly live without it.
Sunglasses.
Sunglasses are definitely my favorite accessory. I got another pair last week. I actually already had a pair, and upon cleaning out my closet found another pair. But I found that my favorite sunglasses were lost in Bear Lake last summer and I felt a strong urge to replace them with a new pair in the same style. I find that since my face is so wide, I have to go with large, squarish, but not too squarish sunglasses. I don't do round, and I definitely do not do narrow. So, happy birthday to me.
I don't like the taste of toothpaste that often. My favorite type of toothpaste is the blue kind with sparkles that comes out in a star shape. I haven't gotten that stuff for years, but I do admit, I sometimes snitch some from my nieces and nephews when they're around. The fact is that most toothpastes are too strong, and though they are supposed to be flavored like mint, they taste more like... burning. I have also found other toothpastes that taste funny. I used some of Kelsey's special sensitive teeth paste, and it tasted like pickles. Kosher pickles. Actually that's a lie, I don't think I could tell you the difference between a kosher pickle and a... not- kosher pickle. Point- It was gross. When you brush your teeth, your mouth should feel clean, not like you just scavenged a relish platter. Then the last couple of nights, I have been using this toothpaste that I swear tasted like hay. And not like "HEY, that tastes great!", but like "Hay. That tastes like horse breath."
A wink an' a smoi-ull.
I was recently thinking about the song "A wink and a smile", and how in England they must have changed the words from "it's only green lights and all rights" to "it's only green lights and all lefts". Just think about it. How many songs do you think they have to change for the English population? Holy cow. They must have to change a lot more that that for different countries. I mean, what about the countries that don't even have traffic lights? That could get confusing. And the language barrier would probably even make that harder.
Popcorn.
I have probably been eating more popcorn than meals lately. I love popcorn. And Hershey kisses. And together they make something that is even more incredible. Mmmm. And popcorn reminds me of movies...
Emma.
I love this version of this movie. Seriously. It is the best Jane Austen based movie I have ever seen. Sorry to my good friends Collin, Kate, Kiera, Gwyneth, Sally, and Allen. I just can't get enough of this movie. It's four hours long, split into 4 episodes, and I've watched it 4 times in the last 2 weeks. And here's the best part: We first saw in on PBS, but since have bought it, and there are even more scenes on the DVD version than on the TV version. If you could see me, there would be an amazed look on my face. I am that excited. It is so good. I love all the actors and actresses, and the wardrobe is amazing. AND, get this, all the characters are actually British in real life. Awesome.
Horse.
And since, I have been so into Jane Austen lately (check out my new blog journalforjane.blogspot.com) it was very lucky that my friend Kelse invited us to come and ride her horse. What say's Regency Era better than horseback riding? I'll tell you nothing. I haven't been on a horse for more than a minute at a time in my life, and I've never actually been on one while it was moving, but this time was different. I got up on the horse with almost no difficulty, and by that I mean, Kelse actually had to push me up while I panicked about falling off and dieing... or something equally horrific. So basically I lied about it not being difficult, it was actually the most difficult part. Once I was up on the horse and had stopped hyperventilating, it was actually really fun. I got to trot all by myself. She wasn't even holding the rope for me or anything while I trotted. The second time I mean. It was so much fun, and she said I could come back and ride again. How exciting.

As a copy editor, I feel it my duty to inform you that there are several errors in your paragraphs, specifically spelling and punctuation.
BUT, as a huge fan of your prose, I have to say, this was most excellent. I laughed, I cried -- no, no, I didn't cry.
I'm so excited you're coming in April!
Welcome back to the blogosphere my funny friend. I think we should watch Emma today during the kids naps.
I'm so happy to be invited! I love your posts, they make me laugh. Now I have to buy the Emma DVD, I loved it on PBS and had no idea that there was scenes I was missing.
Thanks for the invite. You crack me up!
