Hedonistic Pretzel Club!

Tasina has created a new bit o' bling, commerating my flaming -- I was called hedonistic and replied that I had been eating pretzels and blogging at the time. Serious hedonism there (pretzels being the new cocaine...).

I echo Tasina' words here:

I have created a badge that I encourage all pretzel lovers, Julie fans, anti-flame warriors, and...well...anyone to steal. Or...just...y'know...take it cuz it feels so good. :)

Unite! They may take our lives...but they'll never take....OUR SALTY SNACKS!!!
(Please imagine Mel Gibson painted blue and screaming this at the assembled troops.)

Thanks, Tasina. That poor flamer perhaps thought she was chiding me, and instead it simply showed me that I have some real friends out there!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Donna at a grownup, really? created this fun Valentine's Day bling, with the Acme Heart Maker...
So sweet!
Thanks, Donna! Donna was my first -- she was the first one to put my blog on her blogroll!

I am passing it on to my favorite nutcases -- Tasina, Kim, Secret Agent Mama, and LouCeel, because they take interesting and fabulous photographs, they are slightly off -- much like myself, and because when I make long and tangent-like comments on their blog, they laugh.

Okay -- updating my profile because I never removed the guinea pigs from it, even though they have been elsewhere for months.

Um...new obsession (HA) the elliptical trainer in the garage. I hate the thing, but today I burned 395 calories. I know. I so wanted to burn 5 more to make it an even 400, but then I would be at 50 minutes and 19 seconds, so I would have to make that round out to an even 51 minutes, and then the mileage could be rounded up to a more even number, and then the calories would be just a few away from 450, but then I could do just a few more seconds, then another few hundredths of a mile, and so on until finally I would fall off, hit my head, end up in the hospital with another nasty concussion, and gain weight because I am bedridden. It was so much easier to just burn the 395 calories.

We moved from the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona to the almost Arctic of Anchorage. I like the winters of Anchorage better than the summers of Tucson, so far.

Still have three kids, the oldest one is a freshman at the U of Arizona (dang it, now I will have to edit this again in a few months), the other two live on Fort Richardson with me and the dogs and the husband.

Other obsessions...my camera, my IPod Touch, my sewing machine. Fabric. Definitely fabric. Dishes. It's a thing females in my family have, an obsession with dishes. Pottery, and earthenware. Silver, definitely. Not crystal and china though. I am not a big fan of the fussy and overly ornate, and both crystal and china tend to fall into those categories, to me. Plus if I have delicate dishware, then I can't have the kids wash the dishes or put it in the dishwasher.

Other than that, I weigh too much, sleep too little, am very liberal, rabidly pro-choice, find it insane this country does not have universal health care, and think the world may be a better place with Obama at the helm. Oh, yeah, and chocolate. Much much chocolate.
