M&M manipulation

He he he, I giggle in glee
You can make your own videos and pictures starring M&M characters. It is just too cool, like a virtual Mr. Potato Head with M&Ms. He he he, I am having way too much fun here.

Best Super Bowl Commercials

The greatest display of American advertising (and football) did not disappoint. I had two favorite Super Bowl Commercials this year.

1. The Chevy car wash commercial.

Synopsis: girls in car, man approaches car, begins to wash car, they give him money, bam, guys start stripping and dancing beside car, Nelly's "It's Getting Hot in Here" plays, female screaming, flocks of men start pouring in to wash the car, most dirty old men, girl covers eyes pleading, "Tell me when it's over", naked cowboy shows up, Quote: "Guys can't keep their hand off it"

2. The Bud Light Classroom commercial

Synopsis: a bunch of foreigners in a classroom, teacher teaches class to say "give me a Bud Light" in 3 typical American accents, from the south, New York, and East LA, teacher ask class, "what do you say when someone ask you for a Bud Light?," class responds in unison while waving hands, "No Speak English!."

Watch them here.

Runner ups:
1. Blockbuster's real mouse for a computer mouse (cute)
2. Nationwide's K-Fed rapper turned fast food employee
3. Budweiser's dalmation, be what you want to be message (nice connection with last year's)
4. Doritos' your personality is a type of chip

5. Fed-Ex: Ground's significance of a name, Hairy, Ilene, Joy, Bob, Mr. Turkeyneck.

Note to Self: sweep clothing for size stickers before wearing

Ok, so I went to a cute little coffee shop this morning and put on a new jacket that I had just bought at Old Navy. Before I put it on, of course, I cut off the tags. Then, when I got home I realized that I had spent the day displaying the giant sticker with the size on it right on the front of my jacket. I was mortified, and no one said, "hey. you got a size sticker stuck on your shirt" (where it was impossible to miss might I add). Somehow I used to have nightmares about stuff like this. Why do stores put those stupid stickers on clothes? They aren't helping anyone.

I'd like to think I would tell a friend if they had something embarrasing on, something like say a large pen mark on their face, but that is another story itself. Why do mortifying things like to happen to me? And why don't people have the decency to tell me that I look like a moron? I could probably walk around with price tags on, skirt tucked into underwear, lipstick on teeth, toilet paper stuck to shoe, and green paint smeared on my face for 3 days till anyone would care to let me know. Thanks a lot, people.

Pot Head

A new post! I know, surprising, especially for as of late.

For Christmas one side of the family did a goofy gift exchange thing and I got this little grass grower thing that is a guy's head-- sorta like a Chia pet. I actually like it, although I probably would have mocked it earlier. His crazy grass hair is so cute!

And this makes pot head an ever more interesting (and accurate) term.

And so that was Christmas...

Dear friends,

Today we mourn the death of a beloved friend...



Our Chritmas tree just looked so sad lying at the end of our driveway, on its side, in the pouring rain, so flimsy and pathetic. I almost felt a tear welling up when I looked at it.

...and then I was plagued with uncontrollable laughter as scurried inside to get my camera.

Ugly Betty

Have you guys seen Ugly Betty?

It is supposed to be a new one tonight. This show is my mom and I's guilty pleasure. It is so silly that it is fun to watch.

Every time my mom sees a poncho in the store she's like, "Who does that remind you of, Jenn?"
Betty! and her giant ugly Guadalaja poncho that she wore on her first day of work to a fashion magazine. ha ha.

And Betty (America Ferrera) is so pretty in real life...

Queridos Maria Carmen y Paco

This week I got a letter from Spain! The family I stayed with sent me a really sweet card and note and it made me so nostalgic. Espana, te echo de menos!!!

and now I feel like I jerk. I only wrote Maria Carmen once and now she's sent me two things. I remember trying to have a pen pal when I was a kid and I'd always forget, or not feel like writing. And now it's happening all over again, 10 years later.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I have spent all day sleeping after not sleeping for 24 hours.
I think the free holiday Sheetz cupp-o-ccino did its job.
