I'm not good at stuff.

So after a long hard day at work, I figured I deserved a drink when I got home at 3:45. I had a random collection of liquors and juices so I used webtender.com's "In my bar" tool and made it pick a drink for me. All of the good ones required crushed ice. And here I was stumped.

My blender was mocking me from the top shelf of my pantry, where it's sat unused for a year. "...Why!?" you might ask. "How can someone who drinks as much as you NOT use a blender??" Well folks, this is embarrassing... but I've never been able to crush ice in a blender. In fact, I've broken two blenders in the last five years through failed attempts. (OK, OK, fine. One was broken when I left a metal spoon in it while I blended ice cream and sundae toppings, but whatever.) ANYWAY, it turns out it's not that hard. Alls ya have to do is pick the highest speed and voila! crushed ice.  So now I'm enjoying a Donna Reed and watching Glee.

By the way... Glee is awesome. It's the happiest show on TV. I recommend it to anyone who likes music. or drama. or hot guys. or humor. I'm putting it out there now-- 09/16/10. I think Kurt's mom (who died 8 years ago) and Artie (who was paralyzed at age 8) were in the same accident.

When I "like" a facebook, I might really....

I love to write. But sometimes I try to write down what's going through my head, and I just can't make it work. When that happens, I have to be visual.

You just helped your way out of a sale.

Yesterday, I came home from work and was pleasantly surprised to see there was a package waiting for me! It was a surprise, because in three short days I had already forgotten about a fantastic 25% off coupon I used at areopostale.com. I decided to make it a more regular thing, so I set out this afternoon to buy nice bedsheets.

Step 1- search "sheets" at overstock.com
Step 2- reorganize results as "Price: lowest to highest" (I said nice bedsheets, not amazing bedsheets.)
Step 3- click on the first white one I see.
Step 4- am offered a buyer's guide: how to change sheets.

Really? REALLY....?? Thanks overstock.com, but I think I can figure that one out on my own.

Step 5- or CAN i....? What if they have some super awesome way of doing it? What if I've been doing it wrong my whole life?
Step 6- click on link.
Step 7- Yep. Just like I suspected:
Step 8- Yeah, you know what, changing sheets is boring. Forget it, I don't want any more.
