Isn't Breakfast The Most Important Meal of The Day

This morning EJ told me I was driving him crazy. All I did was spend 10 minutes telling him it is not okay to skip breakfast and lunch. He says that I just have to tell him once, but I think he doesn't get the message unless I tell him at least 14 times.

I once heard that in order to remember something perfectly, you have to hear it at least seven times. But since I'm pretty sure EJ blocks out the things I tell him that he doesn't want to hear, seven times is not enough.

I just want him to live a long and healthy life.

Speaking of living a long and healthy life, there are tons of promotional products that will help you do just that. A couple that I like are the Health Journal that will help you track your exercise and diet and the Healthy Adult Frame of Mind Magnet.

Anyone But Hilary

I get in trouble sometimes for saying this, but I am not ashamed to say that I LOVE George W. Bush. I would elect him president again in a heartbeat if I could. Unfortunately, I can't. I think there are a couple of decent republican candidates, but I'm afraid that the majority of Americans are stupid because they don't understand the war and we're going to be stuck with a democrat in office. I pray every single day that the democrat we get stuck with does not have a name that starts with an "H" and ends with an "ilary."

If enough Americans are stupid enough to walk down that road, I think I might actually consider moving to Canada. And if you read my blog you know that Canada is not my favorite place. Although I do like Queen Elizabeth.

Anyway, there are a vast amount of products that are perfect for the upcoming elections, campaigns, political rallies, etc. A couple of my favorites are the Patriotic Star Slim Mints and the Republican Elephant Stress Toy.

Another Reason I Like Dogs Better Than People

I realized this morning that I have a little bit of road rage (which really isn't suprising considering my anger management issues). I just really don't like stupid people that do stupid things. This morning I got honked at two different times because I stopped at a red light. Is it just me or does a red light mean stop? If the light was green, I would have gone. If the light was yellow, I would have considered going. But since the light was red, I stopped. People are geniuses.

I think that when stupid people get a driver's license, they should also get a Blinking Traffic Light so they can practice which color means stop and which color means go.

Books

I'm reading a really good book right now called Faith Precedes the Miracle by Spencer W. Kimball.

I highly recommend it.

I also recommend imprinting your company logo on books like 9 Steps To Financial Freedom and the Williams-Sonoma Thanksgiving Cookbook.

Don't Worry. Be Happy.

Last night, as EJ was trying to convince me to be happy and in a good mood, which is a daily occurance these days, I realized something...

Even though I am well aware of the fact that it is only August, Christmas music makes me really, really happy. So even though my neighbors probably think I'm a freak when they hear me playing Christmas music on my piano and even though my husband thinks I'm a freak when I play my Christmas CD's, I don't care.

Also, EJ got me the Shark Week Anniversary Edition DVD's, which I love! My brother will be super jealous when he finds out.

And High School Musical 2 is on TV this Friday, so life is good.

Barry Bonds

I don't know how I feel about the whole Barry Bonds steroid use thing.

On the one hand, I do think that he obviously has taken steroids and I think it's a bunch of bull that he "unknowingly" took the steroids because his trainer told him it was for arthritis or something. Please. No one is stupid enough to unknowingly take steroids and no one is stupid enough to believe that he unknowingly took steroids. So, with that in mind, all those people who are so critical of him breaking the home run record are probably right in saying he doesn't really deserve it because if players like Hank Aaron or Babe Ruth had taken steroids, they would have hit at least 800 or 900 home runs.

On the other hand, although I know that steroids makes you stronger, steroids can't make you a good athlete and they can't give you skills to know how to hit a ball perfectly. Barry Bonds has always been a really good baseball player and who's to say that he wouldn't have hit enough home runs to break the record anyway?

I would resort to the point that baseball is just a game and home run records aren't really all that important, but I can't say that because I don't think we should teach all the future athletes of the world that taking drugs is okay and that it doesn't really matter that Barry Bonds took steroids. What all these baseball players need to realize is that real men don't need steroids to hit a ball far. And if you really feel the need to take drugs so you can become more famous and make more money, you should re-evaluate your life.

Speaking of baseball, there are some really cool baseball-related promotional items here.

Some Games Are More Fun Than Others

I don't get video games. I get no pleasure out of playing them and if I'm going to waste hours of my life, I would rather watch the first season of The Girls Next Door.

My brother insisted that I play his Cabella's hunting game last weekend. I shot a grizzly bear, but then I got killed by a wolf.

Not cool.

Here are a few games I do get pleasure out of playing:

Gridiron Football Flip Game
Pocket Air Hockey
Travel Battleship Game

One More Thing That Will Have To Wait Until I Have Money

I used to think it wasn't a big deal what kind of kitchen knives you have or how sharp they are (despite the fact that my husband has spent years trying to convince me otherwise), but last week I used a really nice knife at a cabin in Morgan to cut an onion and my onion seriously looked amazing. I guarantee you have never seen a more perfectly cut onion in your entire life. It made me so happy that I decided it does matter what kind of knives you have and how sharp they are. Unfortunately, I am too poor to afford nice knives, so I'll have to stick with the cheap-o ones I have for the next few years.

But someday, I plan on owning a nice set of knives like the Lagioule 6-Piece Steak Knife Set or the Moso Bamboo Steak Knife Set that I can cut perfect onions with. I'll probably become famous; they look that good.
