Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig are goddesses.

The Perfect Host

Such a great little creepy as hell find. 
David Hyde Pierce rocks it out. In every way.
Awesome.

Bad Teacher

This is the kind of movie that goes against my very being.
Offensive, crude, juvenile.
And still, I laughed. And laughed.
It was so wrong, it was right Smile

I don’t get to the movies often and this year was no different. Though Jess and I did get out to see

The Help

Wonderful. Emma Stone is fantastic.
I love when a movie makes me want to read the book afterwards.
And it did and I will.

And there you have it from a sparkly New Year barrel, now go get your DVD on people Smile

Three Years, Wow!

I have uploaded over 100 pictures from the camera. This will take a day or two to sort through.
In the mean time, I realized I have past my three year mark. Really. I know, right? I managed to keep up something for that long. Yay me!

And that made me feel nostalgic. I used to post these on my MySpace, but since I don't use that anymore, they fell away. So far away that I didn't even know that tickle was no longer. That made me sad. Sad face :(

But there are still sites like that around. Happy face :)

So here a bunch of those insane quizzes that I loved so :)


You Are "Don't Worry Be Happy"


You're very unique, but you meld well with a group. You are easy to get along with.
You are a positive thinker and a true optimist. You believe in filling your life with good things.

You do your own thing, but you're always thinking of the community around you.
You like to let loose every once and a while. You don't take yourself too seriously.
But I do. All the time. Maybe it should be Worry, But Be Happy...


You Are Mayonnaise


You tend to be a very quiet, introverted person.
You're happy to sit back and let stronger personalities shine.
You value loyalty and harmony. You try to bring people together.

Your taste in food leans toward simple comfort foods.
You love holiday meals as well as old school favorites like mac and cheese.
You get along with mustard and ketchup personalities. You have an unlikely alliance with hot sauce personalities.
Hmmmmm...I do get along with ketchup.

You Are 26% Evil


A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well.
In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.
Oh that's not that bad. Get back to me when I'm at a good 70-90 percent.

You Are Apple Cinnamon Tea


You are a warm and friendly person. You have a compassionate heart, and it shows.
You are naturally sweet and kind. Your spirit of generosity is far reaching.

You love to be cozy and comfortable. You are a natural homebody.
And while you like to be at home, you're not a hermit. You love it when your friends make themselves at home at your place.
Well, duh...of course I am :)

You Are Little Red Riding Hood


You are a caring and kind person... sometimes a little too caring and kind.
People think you're brave, but you are also a bit naive to the dangers that lurk in the shadows.

You are willing to step up and be ruthless to save yourself and those you love.
Someone may fool you once, but it's unlikely that he'll fool you twice!
Well alright. I'll take it.

You Are a Deer


You are trusting of yourself and others. You give people the benefit of the doubt.
You are grateful for this life you've been given. You feel blessed for what you have.

You see the world through the eyes of a child. You are rarely cynical or jaded.
You are unselfconscious and totally natural in your behavior. You are free-spirited.
Crap. Then they shoot me through the head and eat me in a stew.

You Are a Jellyfish


You are a vulnerable person, but you also have a lot of inner strength. Sometimes you even surprise yourself.
You are very honest and open. You have nothing to hide and resent it when people don't tell you the truth.

You are illuminating and insightful. You understand and explain the world well.
You are energizing and enthusiastic. You get people up and moving.
When you right, you're right :)

You Should Rule Saturn

Saturn is a mysterious planet that can rarely be seen with the naked eye.

You are perfect to rule Saturn because like its rings, you don't always follow the rules of nature.
And like Saturn, to really be able to understand you, someone must delve beyond your appearance.

You are not an easy person to befriend. However, once you enter a friendship, you'll be a friend for life.
You think slowly but deeply. You only gain great understanding after a situation has passed.
Hehehehe...Saturn will be mine! And we will control you all! I mean we come in peace. Yeah, that's what I meant.

 I hoped you all enjoyed the nostalgia with me:) And that is all for now from a three year old barrel of joy.

How About A Meme For Fun

1. As a blogger, what do you draw inspirations from for your posts?
Life, the universe and food.

2. If you could swap blogs with another blogger for a post, who would you switch with and why?
I can think of a number of bloggers I’d be honored to post on, but how many of them really want a post filled with cat and food pictures? That’s the real question.

3. If your blog had a theme song, what would it be? Why?
I have never been good at this. Pick a theme song. How about The Night Santa Went Crazy by Weird Al. Why? Because that was the last song I heard.

4. What is your writing process for a post?
I make some tea, I get comfy and then I just try to entertain.

5. Your blog requires a cute, new, mascot - what would it be?
Besides ME!? Let’s be honest, it’d be a cat. Or a naked mole rat.

6. Do you feel you express your "true self" on your blog?
I don’t think any one can be their true selves, I think we show parts that give an idea of who we are.

7. What is your biggest online pet-peeve?
Online trashing. People who tear others down for all to see. It’s petty and juvenile.

8. If you could live in a fictional universe, where would you live? Why?
Narnia. Hands down. Narnia. Because it would be awesome.

9. You're having a bad day, you're upset, you're angry, or you're sad - what is your go-to comfort?
Hot tea, jammies, a favorite DVD, Shag or Miss Firecracker. Chips and dip if present. The usual.

10. What is your favorite inspirational quote?
From the movie Shadowlands, “We read to know we’re not alone.”

11. If they were to make a movie based on your life, who would play you, your leading lady/man, your best friend, and your rival?
Well, clearly I would be played by Charlize Theron. Leading man, Alec Baldwin, and a rival? I don’t have one in real life (that I know of), but if they put one into the movie will they lose and suffer greatly at the end? Then I pick Michele Bachmann.

12. Do you think the world is going to end in 2012?
I have credit cards I’m paying off. So obviously, it won’t.

13. If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?
Anything? I would change myself into a Time Lord.

14. What is your favorite season and why?
I’ve answered this a million times, and it’s still the same. Autumn. I love all things about it, Halloween, candy, chilly nights, fuzzy sweaters, cider, my birthday.

15. You've been bitten by a vampire. Would you fight it with all your undead being or would you embrace it for all it is worth?
I would totally vamp baby.

16. Have you personally met any of your blogger friends?
Sadly, not yet. But hope springs eternal.

17. What does your favorite pair of underwear look like?
Wow. Really? Black. Cotton. Oooo.

18. Have you ever drank something right from the container in the refrigerator knowing other people will have to drink out of the same container later?
Ewww. No.

19. What is your favorite word and explain why?
A word with meaning? Happy. Because I think we all deserve it. A word I like the sound of? Shenanigans.

20. 2011 is soon coming to a close, is there anything you'd like to do different on your blog in the year 2012?
I just want to keep at it, hope people are entertained.Take more pictures.
