Hey!

Who knew that Otters liked Halloween too?

Where the hell do you think he got that pumpkin?

Reese's all the way

When I grow up and am super rich, I am gonna give out king size Reese's peanut butter cups. What does the kind of candy you pass out say about you?

Ordering Pizza on Halloween? Beware!

Although Pizza and Halloween are two of my favorite things, tonight might not be the best night to order some. But if pizza is on your Halloween party menu, beware:

Halloween is the third busiest pizza day of the year. I just learned about this a few years ago and always thought it was weird (maybe because my family never ordered pizza on Halloween) but I guess it does make sense.... So place your order early and be prepared to wait.

Just in case you are wondering, here are the top 5 busiest pizza days of the year:

1. Super Bowl Sunday (logical)

2. New Year's Eve (Not a bad idea)

3. Halloween (way down)

4. The night before Thanksgiving (for reals? yowza!)

5. New Year's Day (good way to start your new year's diet i guess..I mean...who really starts on Jan 1 anyways?)

Oh Snap!

Last night, my boyfriend and I decided to go to the store to grab some flatbread for our shawarma and wine dinner. As we were turning into the parking lot of Trader Joe's, I look out the window of the car to my right and who do I see just standing by the curb chatting on his cell phone? Mr. Brian Malarkey...one of the final four from this season's TOP CHEF.

Needless to say, I freaked out and just kept sayin, "oh my god. oh my god. It's Brian." (like i know the guy.)

My boyfriend who was driving at the time and had no idea what I was freaking out about as I grabbed his arm super hard or even who I was talking about (he didn't watch the show.) But knowing me, he was like "where is your camera?" Just my luck....I didn't have my camera....Man...I was so so bummed. I would have totally nerded out and hopped out of the car to snap my picture with the guy. I probably would have freaked him out. I am surprised he didnt hear me yelling from inside the car.

So we just ended up parking and going into Trader Jose to continue our shopping...but let me tell you...I was a giddy as a little girl....but bummed at the same time that the camera on my cell phone would have been to crappy to capture me and this "celebrity."

So...Brian does own a restaurant and he does live here in San Diego, so I guess its not that big of a deal but still it was cool seeing him. Too bad it wasn't Sam from the previous season...Oh la la...

The worst part about the story....when we got back home...I reached into my purse...and what did I find?

MY FREAKIN CAMERA!

(Can you tell I have not let this go yet?)

Happy National Candy Apple Day

Here's to pulling out your teeth.....

I like these, especially when they are spicy and cinnamon flavored.

"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID"

So I must admit, ever since I started watching The Office religiously, I can't stop saying this phrase. It's probably getting really annoying to the people around me but to me, it just gets funnier and funnier every time. ("that's what she said").

Click here to see a video top 10 list of the best "That's what she said" lines from The Office.

(I have now watched this like 5 times and have probably replied to at least 6 emails with this line....man, I can't stop. "that's what she said"... SHIT!)

The best part about having my own blog

Is that I can post about anything I want.

do i really need to say why this is cute?

cute baby beaver

cute hugging koalas

Cheetos and a squirrel. nuff said

this is a Rice Krispie Treat costume (kills me)

reminds me of my old dog Lucey and we used to have an alligator pool floaty thing

just freaking cute...they look so soft

Who wants to go to Korea?

It's a hot dog covered with chunks of French fries then coated with batter and deep fried.

Not to keep harpin on this candy corn thing but

check it out.....Candy Corn Popcorn??

I think after I swing by and pick up my FREE taco from TB, I will have to go to the store and see if I can find this stuff. Supposedly it smells like candy corn but doesn't really taste like it. Oh well....I still wanna try. Hopefully I can find it. Fingers crossed!

Best part of this is that I told a co-worker about this amazing find and her response was, and I quote, "There is a god."

Yes, yes there is.

Carmel Apple Wha- WHAT?

So i was thinking about how much I love those caramel apple suckers (which by the way, i have not had either this Halloween....although not as big of a deal as not having any candy corn yet since you can get them year round now) so i was looking for a picture of them and lookie what I found!! Holy Caca-Mole......who knew? i want them.............Talk about ripping your teeth out, right? But still.......I am down. Way down.

Happy National Candy Corn Day!

....and I call myself a Halloween fan.....I am really ashamed of myself. It is now one day away from Halloween and I have not had ONE piece of Candy Corn. I guess today is the day to take care of this.
(I mean, it is a national holiday)

Pickford is still oh so HOT!

"Where are they Now?" update on the cast of Dazed and Confused

I always considered myself somewhat of a "Daze and Confused" aficionado but I actually learned a couple of things from this site:

1. Who knew that Renee "I always look like I just sucked a lemon" Zellweger was an extra at the keg Moontower scene?

2. Who knew that the red head is Giovanni Ribisi's sister?

3. Shawn Andrews (aka Pickford) is still smoking hot. It was a nice treat to see a recent photo of that guy. Trust me. I have been Google image searching that dude for a while now and haven't had much luck finding current photos. Thank you AOL.com (I guess)

He told them to write:
“Best Wishes Suzanne” and underneath that write “We Will Miss You”.

I can't believe I missed this one

Anybody who knows me, knows that I love beer...especially cheap beer. This Saturday was National American Beer Day. And even though I didn't know about this "national holiday", I did spend Saturday night at a sports bar drinking pitchers of Bud Light and eating chicken wings. Man...I am so festive even when I am not even trying.

Happy National Oatmeal Day

I eat a bowl of this yummy stuff pretty much everyday at 10 am.....27 mins til go time!

I love homestar runner

The House that Gave Sucky Treats

Basically...these are just cute

Give me a break, give me a break, break me off a piece of that...Football Cream

I just opened up a "halloween Kit-Kat" and guess what?

IT'S ORANGE! (and tastes a little odd)

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

This is not my "official" Halloween Costume for 2007. This is just what I threw together this morning for my office's Halloween Party. Didn't want to wear my real costume to work since I am basically just sitting all day AND I want it to be in pristine condition for tonight....(don't worry...pics to come.) Not too shabby though, right?

Oh yeah....Not only are we having a Spooky Halloween party here at work, where we will be able to drink beer (shhhhwing) and get snacks but they are also giving us candy to "pass around" (or take home) to the kids who will come by our desks "trick or treating." Should be a good day! Fingers crossed that it's GOOD candy...not cheap crap.

Trick or Treat? um, never mind. No thank you!

Did you ever go up to a house while Trick or Treating and you look at their candy bowl and they only had super gross candy. Like the kind of candy that only old people or your dad would like. Or they have stuff like raisins aka "natures candy" or those little spider rings that never fit my fat fingers.... And its like, you don't want any of them but you cant NOT take one so you just pick whatever is the least gross. I have even pretended to take a candy without actually removing anything from their bowl of lameness. It's like, honestly, why bother if you are just gonna give out nasty ass candy. Waste of my time walking all the way up to your doorstep for NOTHING. For me, the worst were Mounds, Almond joys, Smarties (cheap ass people buy these in those mix bags with other hard candies) Mike and Ikes and Good n Plentys.

(This site lists tons The Worst Halloween Candy. We have a lot of similar items in common.)

mmmmmmmm...donut

MAPLE BACON BAR

I know this is old news, especially for those of you who watch Tony Bourdain's show religiously like I do....but man, this still looks really good.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOKTACULAR

Vampire Cupcakes: This recipe is rather complex, since you're not just making the cupcake itself but also cherry filling and marshmallow topping..........scary.

Pumpkin Pie Vodka...sounds a little bit better than that Pumpkin Spice Schnapps I mentioned earlier.

One would think

That since two of my favorite things in this world are Germany and Halloween, that this would quickly become one of my favorite sites. Think again............pretty bad!

Who cares that they are lower in fat....they ain't good!

I never thought that I would give a Reese's product a bad review...............and then I tried one of these:

Man oh man...what a disappointment. I pretty much agree 100% with this review of the new Reese's Whipps.

How good does this sound?

Sweet Potato and Avocado Sandwich

1 small sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3 slices about 2 inches thick

1 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. mustard

1 Tbsp. soy mayonnaise

4 slices whole wheat bread

4 red onion slices

1/2 small avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced

4 tomato slices

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup finely shredded lettuce

Maybe I will be watching the World Series

Do you know what time it is?

What ever happened to my transylvania twist?

I just realized that it is 12 days til Halloween and I have not heard the Monster Mash ONCE! I am not one of those haters....I actually like the track especially the laboratory sounds in the beginning.

I am lucky I don't live in Texas

I would be 500 pounds if I lived in that state. Look at some of the crazy food you can get at the 2007 State Fair of Texas! This fair has tons of weird food (mainly deep fried anything) that all sound like they would be pretty good (maybe just one bite) but after browsing through all of them, these sound the best to me. They sound like they were basically invented for me:

Spicy Queso Bites

Cheddar cheese mixed with salsa, chilled, scooped, breaded in zesty batter and fried. (I guess this same vendor has fried guacamole..oh lordy)

Fernie's Fried Potato Stack-ums

Sour cream, cheese, chives and bacon bits are sandwiched between two hash brown patties and topped with more sour cream, cheese, bacon and chives

Fried Peppermints

Eight soft peppermint candies are battered and deep fried. With peppermint sauce and powdered sugar. (I am freaking out about these)

Fernie's Fried Chili Frito Burrito

A flour tortilla dipped in chicken broth is filled with chili and Chili Cheese Fritos, folded and deep-fried. Served with a choice of toppings.

My future as predicted by MASH

Remember playing the game M.A.S.H. when you were younger? We used to take this game so seriously. When I was younger, it was pretty innocent, just your basic questions (ie: marriage- kids-job etc) but as I got older the game got a lot more interesting (and frankly, kinda messed up .) All of a sudden new categories were popping up like list "5 people you hate" (who would turned out to be your maid/ butler) or "5 Locations" (first place you "did it")......I kinda miss this game....Well- problem solved! I just found the most awesome site where you can play it online. You don't even need friends!

Here are my results:


You will live in Apartment.

You will drive a green BMW.

You will marry Zoe and have 2 kids.

You will be a chef in Rome.

I am really looking forward to all of this happening!
