Poor girl...she's probably sitting at home on Monday and Friday wondering why he doesn't call....

Strangest Conversation In The World...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 19:21:00 +0000

I think of all the billions of conversations that take place all around the world every day...the strangest one is this:

"Sweetheart...I've been thinking a lot lately...annnnd...
I think we should name him "Dick"."

"Oh, Honey! That's perfect!"

The Best Man

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:54:00 +0000

I think it's strange that we call the best man the "best man" at a wedding...don't you think that's a bit rude to the groom...shouldn't he be the "best man"... you'd think it would give the bride second thoughts too...I mean if HE is the BEST MAN, who's this guy next to me saying "I DO"!

Counterfeit...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:39:00 +0000

I think if I ever decided to become a counterfeiter...i would make $1 bills and quarters...that way people would be less interested in trying to arrest me and I would have a lot of quarters to do laundry...

Indoor Plants...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 20:58:00 +0000

I was at the nursery the other day and asked a salesperson if they had any indoor plants and he said..."There's no such thing as an indoor plant."...Good Point!

New Rule...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 19:40:00 +0000

I would like to implement a new rule for a very common daily problem...that is the problem of the "lost call". You're on the phone chatting away...call gets "lost"...where?...who knows...immediately both callers begin dialing only to receive a voice mail message...people who you are really in sync with IE: best firends...lovers...this could go on for days... as you both try to call each other at the exact same second. Okay...so New Rule: whoever called the other person originally should be the one to call again. And that's the rule!

Bumper Sticker...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 20:30:00 +0000

I think a good bumper sticker idea would be...

"I'm Winning"

No...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:16:00 +0000

One of the first rules of improvisation is to never say "no"...for instance if your stage partner says "would you like a pickle?" you are supposed to say "yes" to keep the action moving...If you were to say "no" then the action would end... there is nothing left to do except argue back and forth... not very interesting for the audience or the actors...I am also a firm believer that this rule carries over into life... saying "yes" will keep things moving and shaking in your life...obviously there are times when you cannot possibly say yes or when it would put you in danger...but as a general rule... i think yes is generally best.

Oatmeal...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:14:00 +0000

Even though oatmeal is reminiscent of sludge...i still think it is delicious...

Ipod...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:23:00 +0000

I think my Ipod has a crush on me...because everytime I turn it on...it tries to seduce me by playing all of my favorite songs back to back.

The Winner...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:22:00 +0000

I love it when a guy holds the door open for me...because then it gives me a head start...and then i beat him and I am the winner.

Sleep Camping...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:06:00 +0000

Is there such thing as "Sleep Camping"? ...you know...when you fall asleep in your bed... but at some point in the middle of the night you unconsciously pack all your camping gear in the car, drive off into the woods, pitch your tent, build a fire, tell a ghost story, pack up the car, return home and wake up in your bed with no memory of the adventure... because...number 1. That would be really cool...and number 2. That would explain the 40 some odd bug bites I woke up with this morning... I "Slept Camped" last night....maybe???

A Good Horoscope...and Even Better Advice...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 00:30:00 +0000

Every now and then you get a horoscope that really makes sense and allows you to breath easier...This one is mine for today, but I'd like you to take this excellent advice for yourself.

"Have you been spending too much time exploring new things and not spending enough time with the tried and true? There is nothing wrong with where you are now, who you are with now, and what you are doing now -- so enjoy the moment. Sometimes, focusing too much on your next steps in life only keeps you from appreciating where you are right now. Being content is not a sign of having no ambitions in life -- it just a sign that you are wise and happy. "

A Little Light Reading...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:12:00 +0000

The other evening I took a moment for a little light reading found on the inside of my matchbook...this is what it said...
"Explore a world of incredibly good taste with safeway select great escapes ice cream. A delicious and indulgent departure from the ordinary ice cream itinerary..."

...interesting thing for a match book to say...but okay...

The Cutest Dog In The World...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:58:00 +0000

Today on my way to work I saw... the cutest dog in the world...I'm sure I have used that term loosley in the past and if i could take it back I would... because this time... it was actually and literally.... The Cutest Dog In The World.

Yard Sale...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 02:55:00 +0000

A lovely friend of mine just taught me a new term... and low-and-behold it's on
urbandictionary.com...

Definition of "yard sale":
When a skier or snowboarder eats it on the slopes and loses all of their gear. If a skier loses his skies, poles, hat, goggles, and anything else, shout "YARD SALE" from the ski lift above him.

Love it!

"Turkey will always be the main event at my house..."

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:15:00 +0000

I know it's probably bad blog karma to criticize one's blog in your own blog...BUT............
For an entertaining evening...i highly recommend gathering a few friends and reading from Gwenyth Paltrow's blog aloud...

Here's an excerpt and a link...
This is for real....

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday. I love when everyone comes together and celebrates the idea of gratitude, something we all mean to do every day, but seem to lose sight of most of the time. I also love the cooking – the days of planning and chopping and basting. This year, I decided to work out three variations on the traditional meal: a big group, a small gathering and a cozy dinner for two.
Turkey will always be the main event of Thanksgiving (at least in my house) and a whole turkey is the way to go if you’re feeding at least 12. But if your party is smaller, the stuffed turkey breast turns out to be a great halfway point. Brining it overnight insures that you don’t need to baste it and it has a quick cooking time. Why should things be any less festive if dinner is just for two? I came up with these stuffed turkey burgers which were a giant hit in my house. They are the perfect solution for anyone who isn’t feeding a big group (or for a big group that wants to try something different!).
Mostly, make sure that no matter what type of meal you are having, you take a moment to think about how much you do have (health, love, friendship, passion, perspective, appreciation, intellect, reason, kindness) and reflect on how you can share more of it with others.

Time For a Shout Out...

noreply@blogger.com (Nicolette) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 22:49:00 +0000

This guy...

It's easy to take for granted this little man... who can spew scalding hot water within minutes of turning a knob on the very coldest of L.A. mornings...but I like to say a little... "thanks Mr. Water Heater..." every time i get to wake up to his glorious warmth...

Now if we could just work out the whole freezing toilet seat situation...
