You win. This was perfect.

Alright. I'll take two back. But you can have the rest.

All the stars for you for this comment!

Freddy Nefler actually turned to this while I was happily enjoying Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin. I told him to turn it because I did not want to start 2014 with a rage stroke.

I dunno. I feel like it's a lateral shift there.

I'm pretty sure it's a Chupacabra, like a poster down below said.

AHHH! That image is the best. This native Oregonian is stealing the shizz out of this!

Very good point.

I always thought whoever invented the game knew what they were doing. Give kids a whole bunch of play jewelry and call it a game! Genius!

Did you miss the part where I said I wanted to play it? I have nothing against dressing up.

That sounds awesome. Like I said, I was a shade too old for it, but it makes sense that kids would just end up playing with the jewelry (since that was the best part).

It makes as much sense as any other princess story out there.

That's pretty much what I wanted to do with it. Except I was too old to justifiably ask for it and I didn't have any friends with little sisters. :)

Yes to Gabriel Byrne! I think he's the reason I root for the Professor over Laurie in Little Women.

Psh. This has nothing on Pretty, Pretty Princess!

I keep staring at this wondering if it is going to come to life. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have nightmares about it.

I first read it as Taylor Swift too! I think it's because I just expect to hear about how she has a new relationship and why not Lady Gaga?

I'd go see them if I could! Although the former dance team coach in me wants to yell at them "Stop brushing your hair out of your face! Don't adjust your shirt! You leave it alone until you are done performing!" Old habits die hard, I guess.

That's pretty much what ours is. The last day of school was the 20th and the first Monday after New Years is the 6th. Usually we're back closer to the 2rd or 3rd but Christmas fell on a Wednesday this year and it pushed everything back a bit.

That is so bizarre. Maybe they don't consider it "real" meat? I actually can't eat clam chowder. I get a terrible stomach ache (like knocks me out for hours). Grandma doesn't know that though and my husband will eat them at some point.
