Amazing Pecan Brittle
Here is the not-so-secret-recipe for my pecan brittle. You can use any type of nut, but pecans really do taste the best.
2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup water
2 cups plain nuts (I use pecan halves)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. baking soda
Heat and stir sugar, syrup and water in a heavy 3-quart saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Cook over medium heat and stir often. Add nuts at 250 degrees. Cook to hard crack stage (290 degrees), stirring often. Remove from heat.
Quickly, stir in butter and soda. Beat to a froth for a few seconds. Pour at once onto 2 well-buttered 15-1/2x10-1/2x1-inch pans, spreading with spatula. Break up when cold.
Yield: About 1-1/2 pounds of nut brittle.

What the Heck is JuJu??
Last night, while watching Grey's Anatomy I heard them use the word juju for at least the second time. The first time I heard it was it was used when someone bought hot chocolate for everyone at the hospital. When they used it then, it seemed to mean "something that comforts." Last night Callie used the term "bad juju" to sort of mean bad karma or bad mojo. Today, I set out on a quest to find out what "juju" actually means.
Before Grey's, I had never heard this term before. I figured that since Shonda Rhimes (the force behind Grey's) is African American, and since I grew up in an all white school and had never come across this term before, that the term might have an Af/Am origins. I was correct in that it is an African American slang term. Clarence Major's Juba to Jive: A Dictionary of African-American Slang says that ju ju, is from the Bantu word njiu, which means both 'danger' and a 'fetish against harm'. Most every other site that spoke about juju or ju ju say the word is of African origin as well.
Here is the Wiki definition/explanation:

Yummy Frozen Food
I have recently been seeking easier ways to put dinner on the table. I ran into Barilla frozen meals at Super Target. They are in large pouches and are enough for two. They cost $5.99. You cook them in a skillet and take about 10 minutes. They are AWESOME. We had the penne in vodka sauce. They have a chicken pasta parmesan and several other flavors. I cooked up some broccoli and we had a great meal.
I also highly recommend California Pizza Kitchen's frozen pizza. We eat one that has spinach, cheese, garlic, and white sauce. It is spectacular for frozen pizza.
Today, I popped a Marie Callendar crockpot meal in the crock pot. I got it at Target for $6.99. It looks like it could serve four even though the package says it contains 8 servings. I can't wait to see how it tastes!! I got a chicken noodle dinner. They have tons of different kinds though. I plan on trying them all at some point.

Speaking of Faking it...
I went to Super Suppers (meal assembly chain) and while the concept is nice, the food was pretty bland. The best thing was the braided bread. Everything else was pretty plain and boring. But, it is a great concept and it is nice to have a few dinners in the freezer for when I don't want to cook. The food doesn't come close to comparing to what I make from scratch, but as I said, it's about portion control and convenience.
In the Spirit of Faking it...
Here's a rerun from my early blogging days-
What's for Dinner?-Sort of Homemade Chicken Noodle SoupTonight, I made sort-of-homeade chicken noodle soup. It isn't my favorite, but DH LOVES it. I occasionally make him what he really wants, if only to get some nookie. Here is the recipe. It isn't exact. You can really add more or less of any of it and it will turn out great-
Chicken Noodle Soup
-5 cans Swanson Chicken Broth
-3 meduim carrots, peeled and sliced
-3-4 celery stalks diced
-1 small chopped onion
-1 lb. boneless chicken meat
-1 small pkg. medium or broad egg noodles
-1 tsp salt-pepper to taste
-1/2 tsp garlic powder or 1 clove chopped garlic
-1/2 tsp onion powder
Combine all ingredients in a large pan on medium heat. Bring to a boil. Simmer 15-20 minutes until chicken is no longer pink. Remove chicken. Add noodles and cook in soup according to time on noodle pkg. Shred chicken using two forks and add back to pot. When the noodles are done, it's ready!!!

Faking It
Women need to l earn to fake it--with cooking that is. I don't know any women my age who can cook or even attempt to pretend they can cook. I think most women don't realize how much men LOVE a good cook. The thing is, you don't really have to know how to cook to LOOK like you kind of know how to cook. You can fake it.
For a nice summer meal- Buy fresh cut up fruit at your local grocery (Whole Foods has terrific fruit) slice a nice french baguette, and put out a wedge of brie and another nice cheese with some Triscut roasted garlic crackers. Enjoy with a nice chardonnay. Even better? Take it to the lake or park for a nice romantic picnic.
Slice and bake cookies- Next time he comes over, have some slice and bake chocolate chip cookies in the oven. Smile and say, "I baked you some cookies." Bat your eyelashes while your at it.
Marie Calendar's frozen fettucini alfredo (cook it first) served along side some rotisseri chicken and a nice salad makes for a nice meal. For a salad try bagged mixed greens, chopped pecans (found on the baking aisle), crumbled bleu cheese (try idaho bleu or gorgonzola), grape tomatoes, and Marie's brand rasberry vinagerette or balsamic vinagerette.
How about a salad for dinner? Go to your local organic or fancy grocer. Buy a bag of mixed baby greens or a bag of italian style salad. Add a nice handful of sliced pepperoni (which you can buy pre-sliced in the lunch meat section) buy a ball of fresh mozzerella or a package of mini mozzerella balls. Chop into bite sized pieces and add to salad. Chop one can of artichoke hearts packed in water (drain them first) add some chopped olives from the olive bar (or buy canned.) You can even add some sundreid tomatoes. Serve with Marie's brand creamy italian or a good balsamic vinagarette. For bread, Peperidge farms frozen garlic toast is great. Cook according to pkg. directions. You could also do this salad as a cold pasta salad. Cook a pkg. of rotini (1 lb) according to pkg directions. Add everything minus the lettuce. Toss in some dressing until it reaches a nice consistancy. Salt and pepper to taste.
Kraft makes a great bacon ranch pasta salad in a box. You could add some shredded or cubed chicken and have a meal from that. Some cubed ham might be good as well.
These are all pretty much cold meals. Those are the easiest to fake. For hot meals You can buy all kinds of pre-marinated chicken and fish these days in the meat section, pop it on the George Forman, add a veggie or two and there you have it. I see bagged raw veggies in my produce section all of the time. You just peal off a sticker from the bag and put it in the microwave for 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and a tbsp. of butter and you have an easy veggie side. The frozen versions of these veggies are good too. I use them all of the time.
For another hot meal, try nachos. Buy on the Border or another good brand of tortilla chips. Transfer a can of drained black beans or refried beans to a bowl and heat in microwave. Put your chips on a foil l ined baking sheet. Top with beans. Slice a block of colby jack cheese into slices appropriate for nachos. Bake the nachos for 10-15 minutes on 350 until cheese is melted. Serve with a good campfire roased salsa, sour cream, sliced jalapenos, and avo guacamole. If you want to really kick it up, add some fajita meat. You can buy it frozen or precooked in the meat section. I buy it raw and just pop it on the grill for 7 minutes on each side. I let it rest and slice it. YUMMY!!!!
There are some terrific family sized frozen lasagnas out there. Stoffer's is a classic. Marie Calendars is good too. Serve with a bagged salad and frozen garlic bread and there you go!!!
I've heard the New Bertolli frozen meals are good (pricey but good.) One of those served with a salad would make a nice gormet style meal.

Germs on Cell phones-From GMA
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Health/story?id=2273311
When people in New York City were asked which they thought was dirtier — the sole of your shoe, a toilet seat or a cell phone — the answer was overwhelmingly the toilet seat.
But they were wrong — your cell phone is filthier.
New research out of the United Kingdom found mobile phones are a technological petri dish for tens of thousands of germs.
Why? Germs multiply in warm places. Between the heat the phones generate and the germs on faces and hands, you've got a bacterial breeding ground.

Blog-O-The Day
This is a great blog!!! She has her finger on the pulse of mommy boards. I especially LOVE her list of daycare names-
A Little Pregnant
A Little Pregnant
Julie Hoyt-Fisk Still Hasn't Shown Up
I still haven't heard about Julie Fisk popping up at any stations yet. Maybe she's decided to move on or be a SAHM. If anyone has heard of her where-abouts, drop a line. I'm no longer listening to morning radio. I was excited to hear about Walton and Johnson popping up on 93.3, The Bone. They have a history in Big D. I remember back in the day when KISS FM appeared in it's first incarnation here. I used to love Mr. Kenneth and the bunch. I haven't tuned in to them yet though. I don't even know if they do that schtick still. I mostly read or watch Good Morning America now.

I'm Banded!!!
Lap Band Up Date
I’m now officially banded. Yahoo!!! I got banded on Friday. The surgery went very smoothly. I was up and walking around within an hour of waking up. I felt great for the rest of the day. I was a little sore on Saturday, but I’ve been getting better since. I think the worst thing is the gas pain. They fill your belly with gas to expand it for the operation. They don’t always manage to press it all out and it hurts like a bitch later.
I have to be on liquids until a week from this Friday. That’s okay though, I can hardly eat anything. It’s like I’ll be starving one minute and eating my tiny cup of soup, then it will hit like a brick wall that I’m full. It’s a very sudden sensation. It’s weird.
I’ve lost about 15 lbs so far since a week before surgery!!!!

Lap Band Friday
So, I'm finally getting my lap band Friday. I've been on a liquid diet since this past Friday and have lost 4 lbs. The liquids consist of coffee, tea, low fat milk, broth, 2 Slimfasts per day, Gatorade, strained wonton soup (I've been doing strained egg drop since it has almost no fat and is low cal) jello and apple juice. I've been doing light Frappacinos (instead of Slim fast)since they have skim milk and coffee and less sugar than a Slim Fast and as much protein. I've been doing well. I feel kind of zapped, but am better today. We actually took Lauren to the park this morning and walked while she rode her bike. It was so nice!!!
I'm going to Super Suppers tomorrow night to make 12 dinners for Lauren and Aaron. I won't be able to have true solids for four weeks. I'll do two weeks of liquids (I can have cream soups, shakes, and smoothies.) Then I'll do two weeks of mushies like mashed potatoes, refried beans, etc... I want my family to have good food even if I can't cook it. So, we are doing SS. For those of you not familiar with the concept:
Supper Suppers Website
I also found an interesting and kind of funny blog post about someone's experience with Super Suppers:
Random Outlaws Supper Suppers Ordeal
Anyway, I'm going tomorrow. I'm going again in late June so I can make some healthy and portion controlled meals for when I can have solids. I figured it would make healthy eating a bit easier. I'll probably do Weight Watchers and Lean Cuisine frozen meals for lunch.

How Open Minded Am I?
| You Are 64% Open Minded |
 You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself. |
How Happy Am I?? FREAKIN' HAPPY!!!!
| You Are 84% Happy |
 It's unlikely that you know anyone happier than you. You know how to be happy, no matter what life throws at you. |
How do People See me???
| Slow and Steady |
 Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it. |
My Current Play List
I thought I'd share my oh-so-diverse play list with anyone who cares. Maybe you can judge my taste in music and feel either:
1. Your own musical tastes are way more advanced and sophisticated than mine are.
2. That I am such a poser. I am trying WAY too hard to like different kinds of music that no one has ever heard of. I am a poser ass clown. And what the fuck is with the KENNY LOGGINS????
3. Wow, some of this music could be cool. I'll check it out.
So, without further ado, here's my list-
Tragedy(Austin Cello Version)-Brandi Carlile
Breathe (2 AM)- Anna Nalick
Beverly Hills- Weezer
The Real Thing-Kenny Loggins
Addicted-Kelly Clarkson
Who Makes You Feel-Dido
Inside and Out-Fiest (Bee Gees cover)
Billy Jean- Shinehead (Michael Jackson Cover)
Don't Know Why- Norah Jones
Brick (PLAYING RIGHT NOW)- Ben Folds Five
Silent Life-Bent-AWESOME AWESOME BAND!!!!!! BEST SONG EVER!!!!
Sunrise- Afterlife-DJ Thunda and the K-20 Allstars remix on Cafe DelMar Another BEST SONG EVER!!!!
Plainsong-Old Cure stuff
Since U Been Gone- Kelly Clarkson
No Such Thing- John Mayer
I Wear the Crown- Sara Hickman
Look at it This Way- Sara Hickman

Intentions With Weight Loss- Journaling From Dr. Phil's Book
My goal is to lose 100 lb. and maintain that weight loss for the rest of my life. In order to make this happen I will:
• Get a lap band to help constrict my stomach.
• Eat smaller portions than I currently eat. My portions will be at or below standard, recommended serving size portions.
• Box up ½ of my meal before eating at restaurants.
• Split out-to-eat meals with Aaron so that I am not tempted to eat more than is reasonable.
• I will listen to and feel for my “hunger cues.” I will revaluate my physical fullness feelings every few minutes so that I do not stuff myself or eat past the point of satiation.
• I will make healthy choices when I eat. I will work to have balanced meals that are light on the grease factor but heavy on taste.
• I will save goodies and sweets for special occasions and outside of my house.
• I will not keep food that will tempt me to binge and spin out of control.
• I will not skip meals.
• If I am hungry, I will have a nutritious meal or snack that will give me nutrients and make me feel good.
• I will get a minimum amount of physical activity-3 days a week/30 minute sessions. I will attempt to do more, but this will be the least I will do.
• I will attend a minimum of two support group meetings per month.
• I will keep track of my weight watcher’s points at least 5/7 days in the week to gage my average day’s eating.
• I will limit my caloric beverages to one per day. None of those beverages will be carbonated.
• I will weight at least 2x per week so that I can easily track my progress. I will adjust my eating if I am gaining weight or failing to lose until I reach my goal.
• I will try to divert my attention and focus on other things if I feel like cheating-I will meditate, eat a piece of fruit, do a chore, journal, surf the net, or go on a walk.
When I reach my goal I will feel in control of myself and my life, more confident about my attractiveness, happy that I can shop at “regular” stores, I will have more energy and be able to participate in more vigorous activity with my family, I will feel sexy. I will feel satisfied that I finally took control of my life and of food.

I am Here to Report....
my utter grief and sadness at the loss of Ace Young from Idol last night. I don't watch it, but it doesn't take long to hear things. This thing is sad. Why, Amercia, why????
Googling Myself
I just got the idea to Google myself from a message board I post on. I can't beleive I haven't done it before:
I have a SUPER common name.
My alters:
I have a PH.D
I sell real estate
I am a web designer
I'm an artist
Eh... Nothing too exciting. Nothing about the real me came up in the first two pages. I try to keep under the radar.

I got a Swiffer Carpet Flick!!! Review
I purchased the Carpet Flick after seeing ads for it and reading many reviews about it. I decided that the price was right and it fit my purpose, which is to clean up small messes on the short pile carpet of my small in-home day care without having to drag out a huge vacuum cleaner.
Details about the Carpet Flick:
I purchased my Carpet Flick on sale at Target for around $12.00. It included the Carpet Flick and 4 cartridges. It came in a smallish box, and was easy to fit in my cart and get home. When I got it home, I took it out of the box and snapped it together. It was very simple to assemble. I didn't have to read the instructions to put it together. It took about five minutes to open, assemble it completely, and get the cartridge in place.
The Carpet Flick has an orange, plastic base with a silver metal handle. It has flat sticky cartridges that are used to pick up debris. On the underside, there is a small strip that "flicks" the debris up into the CarpetFlick sticky cartridge. And the entire unit comes apart for compact storage. It also has a hook on the end and easily hangs up flat against the wall for out-of-the-way storage.
It is designed for short pile and Berber type carpeting. It will not work on hard floors like wood or tile.
To use it, you simply push and pull it across the carpet.
My Opinion on The CarpetFlick
This product is very light weight and easy to maneuver. My 3 1/2 year-old can easily use this product (and begs to do so often.) It doesn't seem to have any parts that would easily break. It is made better than what I would expect for a product that costs $12.00. And, best of all, it is quiet to use.
I use it on my short pile, off-white carpet to clean up snack crumbs and little messes at the end of the day. It pulls up all of the crumbs, stray hairs, and other little messes from the floor. You do have to go over an area a few times for it to look "perfect", but it literally takes seconds, and is much easier than dragging out the vacuum cleaner. It keeps my carpet clean enough so that I only have to vacuum one time a week.
This product does not fluff up the pile and get deep down clean like a vacume cleaner would. It isn't supposed to. It simply picks up crumbs and small bits from the carpet to freshen it up between vacuum uses. It does exactly what the company claims the product does:
"With the new Swiffer CarpetFlick, little carpet crumbs aren’t such a big deal anymore. It cleans up everything from glitter and beads, to cookie crumbs and grass clippings, making it the perfect accessory for your busy family. Its innovative design flicks dirt, crumbs and other small bits off your carpet and traps them onto a disposable adhesive cartridge. And the Swiffer CarpetFlick has a convenient transparent window, so when you see that the cartridge is full, simply throw it away and insert a new one."
As with most Swiffer products, you generally have to change out the cartridge with each use. The cartridges cost about $4.00 for 12. One cartridge does a single, large sized living area in my house. When you take the cartridge out, it is a good idea to do so over the trash can, as you could accidentally knock some of the debris that is stuck to the cartridge back off onto the floor.

How Evil Am I???
I got this cool little test off Kelly's Blog (the guy who commented below asking, "What's wrong with bald guys?") I'm really surprised I'm not more evil.
| You Are 62% Evil |
 You are very evil. And you're too evil to care. Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot. |

For the Love of God, PLEASE LET GUY WIN!!!
I'm talking about "The Next Food Network Star." I skipped Desperate Housewives to watch it tonight (I actually missed the first episode b/c I was power shopping at Wal-mart.) On the first episode, they got rid of stupid ass Nathan. He was bald and cocky. You could see the veins in the top of his head. On the second show, they got rid of my favorite, Carissa. I have a total girl crush on her. Anyway, there are now two contestants, big, fat, fake, gay Reggie who cooks boring food and big, fat, funny, crazy, kind of sexy Guy, who cooks really innovative food. You can vote this week, online. I can't wait to see who wins next week. I'm slitting my wrists if it's stupid-ass, can't cook Reggie.

Random Question-
I've decided to start asking myself random questions. This weeks question:
So, Sisterfunkhaus, tell us, Why is it cool to be you?
Hmmmm. Interesting question. Let's see, it's cool to be me because-
I have red hair
I can cook awesome Southern food
I am artistic
I can fart like a man
I graduated from college with honors even though I'm a HS dropout
And, I look like John Malkovitch (did I spell that right???)

So, I Look Like John Malkovich--My Life is Complete!!!
I just saw this on Good Morning America. You upload a front facing photo of yourself and it analyzes your face to tell you what celeb(s) you look the most like. It uses facial recognition software. You have to join (free) to view results-
Click Here for the Celeb Face Match
---------
I submitted my photo from below (the one from "By the way, I am fat.")
My first "match" was Kiera Knightly at 61%, who I hate.
The next was Alizee 61%, who I have no idea about????
Others:
Sofia Coppala 61%
Cyndi Lauper 60%
Kate Hepburn 60%
I ran a similar photo taken at the same time, but with my mouth closed and a serious look on my face and got:
John Malkovich 64%-ROFLMAO, I look like John Malkovich more than I look like anyone else--OMG!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I also got Julianne Moore at 61%
Suzanne Vega 60%
I ran another with my hair pulled back and no makeup on and got:
Kate Hudson 66%
Ashley Judd 50%
Marcia Cross 50%
I ran a different photo from when I was 50 lbs. lighter. It was really close up too. I got:
Marcia Cross 62%
Lindsey Lohan 62%
Demi Moore 61%
Natalie Wood 60%
Even though I was matched with some hot people (and John Malkovich) I'm thinking that this software isn't that reliable. The only person it matched me with twice was Marcia Cross, even with similar photos and similar weights, from similar angles. It was fun to play with though!!!
--------
I wanted to match my husband. Unfortunately, he is usually behind the camera so I had to take the one photo I could find and crop me out of it. Here's what came up:
Richard Gere-62%--This isn't surprising AT ALL b/c this is who everyone thinks he looks like.
Matthew McConaughey 52%
Gael Garcia Bernal 51%-Who he knows I have a HUGE crush on.
Very interesting.

Eugenics-War Against the Weak
Eugenics is Alive and Well
I just wanted to report that the eugenics movement is alive and well in the good old USofA on a women's web board calld IDOB.org the address is www.idob.org You have to join to look, but in a nut shells, there is more than one person who thinks that someone who commits a crime against a child should be sterelized, or that someone who isn't "wired right" should be killed.
Specifically, I am talking about Dena Schlosser, the woman from Texas who killed her infant child and severed her arms. She was later found to have a brain tumor and found not guilty by reason of insanity. Yet there were several comments that pointed to a return to World War II Eugenics type thinking:
"I want to take that women out and cut her arms off...."
"I will help you!"
"I think she should be sterilized and never be allowed to have more children."
"People like that are wired wrong and should be killed."
"I think that sterilization is a good idea."
"I think they should have their heads blown off..."
"I say cut out their reproductive organs with a dull rusty knife, tie their tubes, burn em, jump up and down on their uterus and do whatever the hell it takes to make it to where they could no longer bare children."
--------
I am so thankful that we have a court system that protects people who have brain tumors and severe, uncontrollable chemical imbalances from being lynched by people who don't know all of the facts. A jury found her not guilty. That's 12 people who heard and know a lot more than any of us do. God bless the court system. God bless rational thinking.

The Next Food Network Star
I was so loving "The Next food Network Star" tonight. I was pretty shocked that Andrew was eliminated, even though when I took the poll on the web site I predicted it would be him. After watching tonights show, I expected Reggie to be booted off. He stunk tonight. He's so fake and, well, stupid.
On another note, Carissa took me by surprise. Her show idea was GREAT. That's a show I want to see. I'm afraid she isn't long for the road once the idiot drones of America start voting on who stays. On the web site, she was chosen as the next one people would choose to boot off, which means people don't like her. I'm guessing that WOMEN don't like her. Let's face it, most women HATE beautiful, intelligent, strong women. It makes them feel threatened. So, we end up losing brilliant talent like her because a bunch of jealous bitches can't deal with their own inadequacies.
Speaking of inadequacies--NATHAN SUXS ASS. He is so full of himself. He uses ingredients that aren't accessable to most people, and he's going bald. He also reminds me of my DH's stupid ass, anal retentive, porn addict friend. He's just a goon.
When it comes down to it, Carissa has the show idea and the looks; Guy's got the personality (and worst name.) Those two are the only people left who should even still be on this show. The other two are no talent doofuses.

That's about it....

Ace Young is a Sexy Man
Not that I actually watch American Idol, but I was at my best friend Ann's house, and she showed me Ace Young on DVR. This guy is HOT. He sounds like a boy band guy, but he looks damn fine. I love his sexy ace shirt and belt buckle, and that cap he wore when he sang that Michael Jackson song WAY better than Michael did. You go Ace!!!

By the Way, I'm Fat
Just so there's no confusion, I'm fat becasue I am a fabulous southern cook, and because of my intense adoration of cookies and cream ice cream. Mexican food is another factor. My comment about will power was showing that I can exercise control by drinking diet drinks. Now if I could just stop eating those Klondike Cookies and Cream Bars. I don't know how they end up in my cart. It's the evil grocery store gnome. He runs around stuffing unwanted items into people's carts. They don't notice these items until they get home. Then, since they paid for them, they don't want them to go to waste or anything.......
I also wonder, does it bother skinny people when a fat person doesn't feel bad about themselves? I don't feel bad about myself. I don't look in the mirror and think about the fact that I'm large. I don't cry or feel bad about being large. Lots of times, I think I look downright good. No one looks at me or makes rude comments. I occasionally even get men who come on to me. I do know that for health reasons, being thin is better. I'm sure I'd be more energetic if I were thin. I would also enjoy being able to wear sexy tight clothes (I am not one of those big girls who wears crop tops and tight jeans-- I have some taste.) I always have wondered if skinny people think that all fat people feel bad about themselves, or should feel bad about themselves. Would it piss off a skinny person to know that there are confident big people who don't fret about their appearance, or even think that fat looks bad? What about the fact that some women actually like big guys, and some men like big girls??? Would they be mad if they knew that some of us wouldn't lose weight if our doctors didn't berate us that we could one day develop health problems (even though the health is perfect right now???)

I wanted to add
For those of you who think it's all about will power, I switched to diet drinks for two weeks with no problem. I did not increase my caloric intake and gained 5 lbs. I GAINED on diet drinks. I always gain weight on those things. After hearing about this paradox on TV numerous times, I thought I'd provide a link with some info:

Just Stuff
If you are interested in where Jagger and the gang from 102.1 are going, read the comment left in "I'm getting a lap band." I had a reader who was kind enough to let us know where they will be. I will definately give them a listen. Does this mean that sucky ass David Lee Roth isn't working out??? He sucks.
I am still trying for the Lap Band surgery. I need to lose 100 lbs. Right now, it's up to my insurance company, which I hear isn't to good about approving the surgery. They cover it, but they have A LOT of stipulations. I meet them all except for being on a Dr. supervised diet for a year. They require you to keep a food/exercise log, and go monthly to the doctor. If I could do that, I wouldn't need the damn lap band. Idiots. I COULD pay for it myself. I have financing in place. It's $15,000. My payments would be $314 a month for 5 years. I'm not sure that I want to do something like that. I have to really think about it ans talk to DH about it. I doubt he would go for it b/c he doesn't think I'm that big. He seems okay with the way I am. It's the sexy long red hair and big boobs. It's blinding him to my fat.

I'm Getting a Lap band!!!
Woohoo, I AM GETTING A LAPBAND!!! I went in 2004 for a consult, but got sidetracked with my new business and such. Now, I'm full throttle. I've got almost 100 lbs. to lose. My first consult is in early March. I am thrilled. I will post more about it after my consult.

Where's Julie Fisk? From Julie Herself?
Well, this could ***Possibly*** be from Julie Fisk herself. I can't be 100% for sure b/c I honestly have no way to authenticate this stuff but I got this today:
Well, mystery no more! My husband was farting around on the computer & found this site. We too are now very interested in that sex-chair, but we better be talking multiple multiples for $200 bucks. Anyhow, thanks for the concern & questions. Yep, I got canned. I was told that it wasn't about my performance, they just wanted to go in a different direction. I'm looking for work but have a non-compete & can't be on the air in DFW until May 1st. Let's hope I find something good by then. Thank you so much for missing me enough to write about me. I especially liked the "bowl of feces comment!"

The home page is organized into different categories. In those categories you can find info about mundane stuff all the way to crazy stuff. Here's the link:

EBay in Trouble Over Counterfeits
eBay in trouble over counterfeits: "Jeweller Tiffany & Co is suing eBay for allowing individuals to auction counterfeit items on its site, the New York Times has reported.
The company secretly purchased 200 pieces of jewellery which claimed to be from Tiffany on the auction site in 2004. Three quarters of the pieces received by the jeweller turned out to be fakes.
"
-------------------------
First of all, its no shock that 3/4 of the merchandise Tiffany purchased was fake. I'm actually surprised that any of it was real. I would assume that any designer goods sold on EBay are fake. That's why I buy from reputable dealers and get the real McCoy.
Second, I think that Tiffany should be suing individual sellers of counterfit merchandise, as they are the actual sellers, not EBay. EBay is merely a listing service that charges a percentage of the sale as its listing fee. I guess Tiffany can't get any $$$ out of individual buyers though, so it's going after the big boys at EBay.
And might I add as a side note that Tiffany & Company jewelry isn't all that. I've visited their website and store and was sorely disappointed.

Mornings without Julie Fisk Aren't the Same!!
Okay, so I got two comments about Julie Fisk. It's so nice to know that I'm not the only one missing her. I must say that Tony and Cappy totally suck without her. Cappy has actually been the only one on lately b/c first, Tony was out of town, now he's sick. I keep hoping that Julie will magically pop back on, but alas each morning I turn on my radio to the crapfest that is Tony and Cappy (actually just Cappy right now.) This morning, they actually tried to use an old promo bit from Dakota Fanning that sounded really stupid after they cut Julie's name out of it. It was really obvious that they spliced it. It was just another heinous reminder of the bowl of feces that the morning show has become.
Now for my biggest obstacle--finding a new show. I tried David Lee Roth (who has taken Howard Stern's place here in Dallas.) He seemed pretty lame. I tried Kid Kraddick in the Morning. Ehhh. They are really marginal (but better than nothing.) I could move on back over to the Edge where I first listened to Julie, but Jagger's voice has always gotten on my nerves. It was worth putting up with to hear her. But now, I'm not so sure.
If anyone has any good Dallas morning show recommendations, or knows what happend to Julie Fisk, please let me know!!

If you'll notice
I've deleted most articles by other people. I'll still be posting news, but it will leave the sight after a few days, as deleting it helps my blog load faster. Plus, after a while, much of the news isn't very relevant anymore.

Julie Fisk, still a mystery
Okay, well, my friend got me this email from one of the Mix dejays today. It still doesn't say anything. It's like she was there one day and gone the next. I have a friend in the radio biz. I'll talk to her tonight and see if she can find out. She's the only reason I listened to that station.

What Happened to Julie Fisk, Mix 102.9?
I am stumped. If you've read my blog before, you may know that I WAS a huge fan of the Morning Mix with Tony, Julie, and Cappy on Mix 102.9 in Dallas. But alas, I must find a new station because JULIE HAS MYSTERIOUSLY VANISHED. I'm pretty sure I heard her on Monday morning discussing Cappy getting a vasectomy. I haven't heard her since then, and she is no longer shown or listed on the website:
www.mix102.9.com
They haven't mentioned her that I have heard. I have Googled her, and combed the site for info and come up with nothing. If anyone can figure out what happened to her, drop me a comment. I may have to go back to her original home in Dallas, The Edge 102.1. Kidd Kraddick in the Morning is also a contender.

Which Desperate Housewife are You?
In a desperate effort to find out which Desperate Housewife I’m most like, I decided to go online and take a quiz or two. If you take any of these, leave me a note telling me who you are. If you want to take one of them, just click on the hot pink text next to each quiz number.
Quiz #1- ABC Desperate Housewives Quiz
According to this quiz, I’m a Susan
“You always mean well, but somehow, things don’t always work out as planned. It doesn’t matter. You take your tumbles with good grace and always come up smiling. But try to remember that you’re the grown-up in the family.”
Quiz #2- (This one is a bit short) Some DH quiz a random girl made up on quizilla
According to this quiz, I am a Bree.
Congratulations! You are Bree Van De Kamp, the
Martha Stewart on steroids, whose family is
about to mutiny.
Which Desperate Housewife are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
And finally, for now, Quiz #3-
A DH quiz by the Brits
You're Bree
I don't know how she does it. People say this often about you, because you always seem to have it all under control. Your home is tidy, your hair is perfect, and you're always impeccably turned out. Your friends would hate you for your finesse in the kitchen (on top of everything else) if they didn't enjoy your cooking so much. You enjoy doing things the right way and take satisfaction in being capable. While some might tag you as an annoying type A, that sells you short. You work hard at making your life what you want it to be - that's why you see results.
Just keep in mind, however, that not everyone has the same standards or priorities that you do. Your zeal for doing things your way can have a tendency to alienate those around you, who feel like there is no room for error on their part. You might also want to ask yourself if you concentrate on the little tasks to avoid focusing on the big issues, such as: are you happy? Is your relationship where you want it to be? Is your career satisfying? Take time to mull over the big questions, even if that means skipping your weekly sock-drawer organizing session. Don't let your good habits get in the way of enjoying life. Leave the washing up in the sink for one night in favor of cuddling on the sofa. Lighten-up, so the fun side of your personality shines through too.
So, the Brees’ have it. I’m a Bree.

Ode to My Crack- Dr. Pepper
Well, it's not really an ode, and no, I'm not talking about my butt crack here. I mean that my drug of choice is Dr. Pepper. It's my personal heaven on earth. I'm on about my 5th cup today. DH Aaron and I are both addicted and have been for years. No cola for us. Nope, Dr. Pepper is for individualists. It was born and bred in Texas, the home of individualism. It's taste is sweet and crisp with a sharp bite. It provides a nice caffine rush too. For those of you who haven't been annointed by Dr. Pepper's heavenly juices, Mr. Pibb by Coca Cola is the closest thing out there. Mr. Pibb is fine, but it isn't Dr. Pepper. Speaking of Mr. Pibb, there is a link below to a great site that reviews Dr. Pepper imitators.
http://members.tripod.com/skintigh/drpepper/index.html
If you want a really fabulous Dr. Pepper (and if you're a true fan) you'll drive down to Dublin, Texas (Where the first DP plant is located) and get an Imperial pure cane sugar Dr. Pepper. There's nothing else like it on earth. If your lucky, you'll run into a six pack of it on occasion outside of Dublin. I got some in Kilgore, Texas at Brookshires and in Dallas at Central Market. But, the drive to Dublin is worth it just to see the little plant and the Dr. Pepper museum.Dublin is located northwest of Waco. Just don't order an old fashioned soda fountain Dr. Pepper. It's kitchy how they squirt the base syrup into the glass, but it tastes like crap. For real.
Another Girl Crush
I'm adding another girl crush to my list--Felicity Huffman of Desperate Housewives fame. She is so hot. I'm not really into blond guys, and wouldn't like blond girls in general if I were a guy, but she would be too much to pass up. She's got a great body too. If I'm not mistaken, she's married to William H. Macy, who is a fantastic actor. He isn't that great looking, but he sure is lucky to be married to such a hot diva.

Palm Cuts Price on LifeDrive-By Sister Funkhaus
Palm cut the official price on its LifeDrive Mobile Manager by 10% today taking the offical price from $500 to $450.00. The price cut is causing almost rampant speculation by LD owners and other Palm fans that Palm will soon release another Life Drive product as soon as this Spring, although some believe that the handheld maker will wait until they unveil their newest OS later in 2006.

Captain Feathersword is a Stud.
Paul Paddick, yummy yummy. Paul Paddick, yummy, yummy. I have a total crush on Captain Feathersword from the Wiggles. He is so fine. He gives me a girl woody. I think that everyone can see why by the picture at left. The soul patch-ala Tony Almeda really gets me good. Tell me you wouldn't want to sop him up with a biscuit.

I've Got a Crush on the Blue's Clues Guy
I've got a strange crush on the Blue's Clue's guy, Steve Burns. Steve started out on Blue's Clues and is now working on his own music. For some odd reason, I find him attractive. I asked Aaron, "Would a crush on Steve be weird?" He said that he could see how, off the show, without that little boy bowl haircut, Steve might be a good looking guy. I don't think it's all about looks though. I'm not really sure what it is, but I've definitely got a crush.

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
After DH (Aaron) and I watched this amazingly brash 80’s musical, last night, I just HAD to do a review on it. Let me just start out by saying that if you’ve never seen it, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT!! It isn’t that it’s a great piece of cinema. It’s that they just don’t make movies that are so crass, so dirty, so smutty, and so goofy as this anymore. It’s a riot.
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas was made in 1982 and stars Dolly Parton and Bert Reynolds. It also features Gomer Pyles’ Jim Neighbors (he has a great little scene where he says some REAL nasty words. It’s a hoot.) It’s a wicked little homage to the legendary Chicken Ranch in Texas and is based on a play that was originally produced at the Actors' Studio, New York, on October 20, 1977. It enjoyed over 1500 performances on Broadway. So, of course, they had to make it into a movie that spawned endless beauty salons called “The Best Little Hair House in…”
http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/search/40038,0,7377025.venue
http://www.princegeorges.com/SponsorPages/bizinfo.asp?spid=2092
The movie is about a legendary house of ill repute run by Miss Mona (Dolly Parton.) Her lover is the town Sheriff, Ed Earl (Bert Reynolds.) Interestingly enough, no one really seems to mind having the whorehouse around (some of the town’s women even consider it a blessing because it keeps them from having to do-the-deed with their men) until a news reporter(Dom DeLuise) exposes it to the public. It has some great dance number and some really catchy tunes such as the legendary song “I Will Always Love You.” My favorite song of the movies is “Texas has a Whorehouse in it.” Here are a few of the lyrics:
Texas has a whorehouse in it. (Chorus) Lord have mercy on our souls. (Solo) Texas has a whorehouse in it. (Chorus) Lord have mercy on our souls. (Solo) I'll expose the facts although it fills me with disgustPlease excuse the filthy dark details, and carnal lust. Let me warn you. This is not a great work of art, but it’s lewd, campy, and adventurous. If you take movies really seriously, you might want to skip this one. But, if you like musicals and just want to have a little fun, go for it.
