Halfway Through January

How is everyone doing with those New Year's Resolutions?
I didn't make any, so I'm doing great. Thanks for asking.
At the risk of sounding like Granny...
Y'all, we just passed the halfway mark on the month of January. Time is a-flying.

Because it has been over a week since I blogged, there are a lot of things to tell you.

1. I finally went to the salon. I have needed to have my hair "done" for too long now. I told my cute hair girl that the hair police were going to arrest me. The other big hair event in my life? I decided I'm ready to grow my hair out again. For the first time in over 10 years, I want it longer. I also told my hair girl that if she hears of a crazy woman ripping somebody's arms off at the Sonic Drive-In, it's probably me. I asked her to bail me out of jail and cut my hair. Fighting with my hair makes me irritable. Maybe I need to rethink this "growing out" idea.

2. I watched a little Food Network recently, and I have some thoughts about Giada:
a. I like her cooking.
b. Her shirts show a lot of boobage.
c. There is no way in the world she eats what she cooks. Fried doughnuts is what I watched her make. Yeah, right, Ms. Skinny Pants... You are not fooling me.

3. Paula Deen was on the Today show this morning to talk about being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Hmmmm.
Now I am a fan of Ms. Deen, so I am rooting for her to stay well. But I am also hoping she continues to cook the same way she always has. Paula, listen to me... Keep on bringing the butter. Just don't eat it all.

4. We had my mom and dad here with us this past weekend. It is wonderful to see my almost 13 year-old loving on his grandparents. He has the best relationship with all 4 of them, and he's not "too cool" (YET) to show them how much he loves them. It makes my heart happy.

5. The Duggars and their 37 children are in my hometown. My high school friend posted on Facebook about them being in a local restaurant. She suggested that no one go there for lunch because the restaurant had no more food. Hot tea almost came out of my nose when I read that. I adore the Duggars, but that cracked me up! And I complain about my grocery budget.

6. I have ordered an obscene amount of Girl Scout cookies. I love how those cookies appear just as I get rid of all the Christmas junk food. Just in time to wreck my weight loss resolution. Oh wait, I didn't make that resolution. Bring me more Thin Mints, girls!

Well I know you are all feeling more informed and enlightened.
Haircolor, Food Network chefs, a giant family, grandparents, Facebook, and cookies. My range of topics is mind-blowing, and my life is terribly exciting.

I can't wait to tell you all about how my husband and I have been arguing over whether or not an egg is a meat.
