Snippet
Whenever I see the word "toolbar", I picture a dim, tacky dive with all my exes standing at the counter drinking cheap beer.

Whoops.
See, this is why I'm a terrible campaigner. And person.
I totally forgot the most important thing yesterday!
THANK YOU SO MUCH to the person(s) who nominated me in the Okie Blogger Awards!
Can I kiss yourugly baby?
one more little thing...
This is JUST MY OPINION, and I am not trying to influence anyone else, but I've really got to say it:
I noticed that there are some blogs nominated in the Okie Blogger Awards which have won in the past - or at least been runners up - who have never even acknowledged the existence of the awards.
That's JUST.BAD.MANNERS.
I also KNOW that they are aware of the awards because people leave the info in the comments.
**sidenote: those bloggers also do not follow me on twitter, nor have they ever responded to any attempt by me to engage them in dialogue. I AM LIKEABLE, DAMMIT!!
Those bloggers will not now nor will they ever get my vote.
Is all I'm saying.

Special K Challenge!
So I saw this commercial the other day for the "Special K Challenge" - and I seriously considered it because, well, I'm always thinking about dieting.Unfortunately, after 40 years my body has betrayed me and I can no longer have any milk or cream in my diet, so there goes the cereal thing.
And PS when I was checking out their site, I discovered that they have LOADS of cereal flavors!! I always thought it was just the plain ol' Special K or the kind with strawberries.
But Mom Central sent me some of Special K's new LOW CAL snack crackers - we KNOW how I like to eat chips & crackers, right? Any crunchy yummy cracker that can be dipped in hummus or pimiento cheese is welcome in my house.
I got some Multi-Grain Snack Crackers (which come in individual little packets, which is EXCELLENT for PORTION CONTROL) and some delicious tomato-y Italian Herb crackers.
The Multi-Grain were a tiny bit sweetish - they reminded me of graham crackers as far as taste goes... only much lighter and crispier. PERFECT in the 3:00pm hour when my Snack Tooth gets hungry.
The Italian Herb were good too - EXCELLENT IN HUMMUS, I have to say.
The best part: ONLY 90 CALORIES per 17 CRACKERS.
Baked, delicious, SO DIPPABLE, and LOW CALORIE.(and ALSO? Special K has TONS of products I didn't know they had! Protein bars and vitamin water and MORE! Who knew??)
You can thank me later, in the form of jewelry or gift cards.
YOU.ARE.WELCOME.

New Year's Post...what?
I just sat here staring at this page for FORTY-FIVE minutes just thinking of how to START.
I'm all "I HAVE NO OPENING LINE!"
I guess blogging really isn't like riding a bicycle and you CAN forget how. I've been writing posts in my head and then just letting them slide away because I can't be bothered to do that much typing.
And frankly, the posts probably weren't that great to begin with.
So the holidays are over (AT LAST) and the new year has begun (and hasn't TOTALLY started sucking yet) and I stayed away long enough for everyone to get all those "New Year Resolutions" out of their systems.
We all know that I prefer to make suggestions rather than resolutions, because why set myself up for certain failure?
I mean, I can't even remember what "suggestions" I offered for myself last year, so I have no idea if I even stuck to any of them. If I did I'm sure it was completely accidental.
2008 was a red-hot mess of a year for me. You may know some of the reasons; some I haven't shared with ANYONE on the planet, some of it was just LIFE.
Not that '08 wasn't without it's supahigh peaks: I got to speak on a panel at BlogHer and I got to go to BosUP '08 - and was tickled to meet some of my very favorite twitterers and bloggers.
DEFINITELY TIP TOP in 2008.
But the rest of it? Meh. Let's just put it behind us, shall we?
Plus I've been having a really good time lurking about and reading YOUR resolutions...and not to be mean or anything but it makes me laugh when I read your 2009 resolutions and then go back to see what they were for 2008 and 2007.
THEY ARE THE SAME and STILL NOT DONE. hahahahahaha!
It's actually quite comforting to know that I'm not the only slacker, and that for the past few years your jogging/exercise/fitness program that you RESOLVE to begin every year is STILL un-begun (I don't think that's a real word, but I like it so SHUT IT) because you need the proper shoes (STILL) or the proper exercise equipment or you STILL have not found the right gym or blahblablah.
You've resolved (for the past 3 or 4 years) to start blogging more regularly... and your resolution to blog daily in 2009 is the LAST thing you posted.
HEY, I'm not judging. I'm just pointing out that THAT is the reason why I don't make resolutions. Plus also, you guys just keep it up so I can compare 2010's resolutions and laughat you some more.
ANOTHER thing I wanted to avoid is the dreaded "Best Of..." post. I tried that one year and really? do you really click all those links of "My Top 10 Best Posts According To Me"? I will secretly tell you that I don't click 'em on YOUR blogs.
No offense, but I probably already read it the first time, plus I just don't have time.
Instead (and also in the interest of The Art Of The Quickie), I give you my Top 10 Favorite Tweets of 2008 (and yes, you've probably read them all before but HEY, there's no clicking and it'll only take a sec anyway unless you're a really, really slow reader in which case you got bored with this post 10 minutes ago and aren't reading this right now anyway).
I heard someone was ACTUALLY TRULY writing a book called Twitter for Dummies, so I decided that I'd beat them to it:
TWITTER FOR DUMMIES: Be interesting. Say stuff. Engage in conversation. Keep it under 140 characters. THE END.
Because it's just plain truth: I should come with a warning label that reads: "Not Safe For People".
Again, truth: Was going to go as a bitch for halloween, but my constume is tattered from wearing it every day.
Because it made me laugh when it first popped into my head: A gynecologist's computer = a Paptop
I feel this way about people who are bigger attention whores than me: I'm sorry, I don't have time to masturbate your ego today.
This is going on my list of Death Instructions: I think I'd like for my obituary to start with: If you had my name in today's Dead Pool, CONGRATULATIONS! U R A WINNER!
This really gives an insight into what it's like to be ME: In the great Paragraph Of Life, I am usually out of context.
Apparently I am fascinated with gynocological exams: The best way to be remembered by your gyno is to ALWAYS carry a strand of pearls to drape artfully across your vajayjay during the exam.
HEY, this one is a FACT: Booze actually makes you smarter because it hunts and kills off the weak and dying brain cells, leaving the healthy ones to get stronger.
And my all time favorite, my personal take on TWITTER DATING:
Twitter Dating: A series. Tweet #1: "OMG @--- is even cuter than his mangatar! I need a tictac."
Twitter Dating #2: "@--- & I are at the movies watching Dark Knight. He "accidentally" touched my boob! Also he is hogging the popcorn."
Twitter Dating #3: "At dinner with @---. He has spinach in his teeth. SO GROSS but FUNNY, so I'm not going to tell him. DO NOT TWEET HIM!"
Twitter Dating #4: "OMG I'm totally DOING IT with @--- RIGHT NOW! After all, he DID spring for dinner & movie & you should see size of his c
(ed. note: Aw, too bad! That one must have been over 140 characters)
Twitter Dating #5: oaifhjkajsadhjuiwhrjh
Twitter Dating #6 (the next morning): "Hm. Daylight changes things. & now he knows where I live. I might have to move."
Twitter Dating #7: "Unfollowing/blocking @---."
The end.
So long, 2008. I do not miss you at all.
