Okay, first and foremost, lest anyone think I have free time on my hands: the post I wrote this morning over an hour long telecon, the Sean Kingston thing I wrote yesterday, and these are mere pics. So don’t tell me that I have free time on my hands. I most certainly do not. AND, if I did, it would be consumed with TiVo, so it would not be free.. by definition.

ANYWAY, pictures that have made me happy today: (more…)

I know that trying to dissect the meaning behind a song that contains the term “shawty” is probably not worth my brain cells, but nevertheless, I’m forced to ask why Sean Kingston would ever give this option:

We could go to the tropics / sip pina coladas / shawty, I could take you dere
Yes, please!  That sounds fabulous!  You’re guaranteed to get tons of nookie that way!!

Or we could go to the slums / where killas get hung / shawty, I could take you dere
Um, well.. I suppose we could.. no, no.  Hell no.  Why in the world would you want to take me to the slums?  To watch a hanging, really?!  You thought this would be romantic?  What are you, retarded? 

 It reminds me of the most famous choice of all: cake or death?

Guys, we got TiVo last night.

Okay, so I put it off a LOOONG time.  I put it off for too long.  Even after Ra and Steve had gifted us their old box, I was really scared of the pull that much power would have over my life.  I could record tv shows?  And forward through commercials?  WHY WOULD I EVER LEAVE THE COUCH?

But in reality, IT IS SO COOL.  And really not like that at all.

See, when you work full-time and you have a baby and you’re doing twenty million other things, your down time is coveted.  So while I might turn on the tv, chances of there being something on that I’d want to watch were very slim.  So then I’d clean instead.  Which, as you can imagine, is not a good use of “down time”.  That’s totally “chore time” right there.

But now?  I have some free time.. say, I’m up before everyone else and doing some situps.. and I can pop on a show I wanted to watch but didn’t have time earlier!  IT’S SO FREAKIN’ GENIUS!  And forwarding through the commercials?  Means I save time.  I SAVE TIME WITH TIVO.  Never made sense before.  Now it does.

I just wanted to share that with you.  It’s so cool.  Truly.

In other, less exciting news, I’ve signed up for a new weight-loss contest.  One of my coworkers has a blog as well, and she decided that we should all put in $30 and see who loses the most weight by July 4th.  I’m all about money, so I’m down.  Every Wednesday, we weigh in at her blog, and I thought I should keep y’all abreast of that development as well.

Heh.  Breast.

And on that note..
