I wish I could have seen this movie on the big screen. It is visually beautiful. The wardrobe is amazing. Lee Pace couldn't have been more handsome. See it!

What's The Deal With The Linus Blankies?
These kids look traumatized or something. Can you say "issues"????? Maybe being on a reality show and having a weirdo like Denise Richards for a mom takes its toll after a while........

Food Porn
........That's what my husband calls it. He says I'm torturing myself with my new obsession - looking at pictures of food. Tastespotting is one of my favorite sites for food porn. The photos are just amazing and some of the recipes are so creative.
One more week of this crappy liquid-only diet, then I'm on to retirement home-style dishes (mushy stuff). I've had it with V-8, Carnation Instant Breakfast and soup without bread!

Say It Isn't So!!
I just heard that one of my favorite shows, MAD TV, is going to be cancelled after fourteen great seasons. My husband, son and I look forward to watching it every Saturday night. I can't even stand to watch SNL anymore. The skits are painful to watch....they're SO bad.
Most of all, I'll miss the great Bobby Lee (above). He could just stand there and I would laugh hysterically.

OMG This Stuff is Great!
I have read about this Monistat Anti-Chafing stuff for months on different makeup blogs (No, it's not for yeast infections!). Apparently it works great as a primer because its primary ingredient is dimethicone.
I decided to splurge and spend $6 (that is ridiculously cheap when you consider how much primers cost) and I'm so glad I did. I applied a pea-sized amount all over my face before my Bare Minerals the other day and actually got a compliment on my skin for the first time in years.
I love new discoveries like this!

I saw this on Mr. Furious and just had to share it. Check out his blog if you get a chance. It is great. His rants remind me of my husband's. Love it!

I'm F@#$%&* Starving
I was watching Everyday Food today on PBS. It made me so hungry. Everything looked so good. They cooked a couple of the dishes above (spaghetti carbonara and orecchiette with lentils and arugula). I have a serious weakness for pasta, so it was like torture to watch.
Food just isn't the same when it's blended. It has to be viewed, smelled, bitten, chewed and savored. Enough of the pity party. In five weeks I'll chow down.
