stop it

Someone told me they had mosquito bites and of course showed me them and now I can't stop scratching. Why is that?! It's like contagious yawning, which is a real phenom.

However, since my friend told me about the bites, I really can't stop scratching. Well it turns out itching is contagious. Of course, more studies need to prove this, but I can tell you that anecdotally, it's true.

yup

I am wondering if you are wondering where I have been the last year and some. It's been a while since I posted anything and now it's never ending posts of kittens and cute animals and weird happenings in the world and universe. Well, I was working. And now that my workload is lighter (I still am working, but seriously my workload is no longer in the tonnage. It's more like in the grams), I blog. So enjoy!

Dr. Pepper, meet Dr. Pepper and Dr. Pepper

Photo and article, "Does Dr. Pepper Ten Taste Even More Like Regular Dr. Pepper?" from SeriousEats.com

Um - In my opinion, there is negligible difference between Diet Dr. Pepper and Dr. Pepper. How will Dr. Pepper Ten be any different? Are we sure the company isn't sending out the same drink with different wrappers?

OH YEAH?

So am I! Where's my People magazine article? HUH???!!!

up yours

I can't stop blowing raspberries today. In a very crummy mood. And feel about 5 years old. :) Even though I am supposedly an adult, I feel the need to stomp around and have a tantrum in the middle of K-mart, like I did when I was 5.

Of course, I wouldn't get bribed with a Barbie outfit like I did when I was 5. I would probably be arrested and thrown in the pokey.

BAH! Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhppppppppppppppptttttttttttttttttttttttttttttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht

so freaking cute
