Why is Paula Abdul on AI?

April 30, 2008

I don’t understand the value of having a judge that thinks “everyone is a breath of fresh air”. I don’t want to go into how much she drags the show down but this weeks mess up was classic. This was the first week that the contestants were to sing twice. After they sang both their songs the judges were to give their opinion. So half way through the show, meaning after everyone sang once Ryan the shows mediator asked for quick thoughts so far.

Abdul in classic fashion commented on how Jason’s performance went on both songs when he only sang once. I don’t understand how she could have made that mess up? Either she wasn’t paying any attention which I presume she’s paid to do. Or she doesn’t know how to count to two. Either way pretty funny stuff.

Snipes to jail.

April 25, 2008

Ok so Wesley Snipes got 3 years in prison for not paying his taxes the last three years. Ok it’s nice to know that the government is chasing down guys like this who enjoy mega richs at the rest of our expenses.

Here’s the part I don’t get. The government alleged Snipes made at least $13.8 million for the years in question and owed $2.7 million in back taxes. Since when does earning 13 million put you in the 20% tax bracket?

Earth Day Sugar Cookies

April 24, 2008

Posted by Anastasia

My famous sugar cookies took a whole new look this week when we celebrated Earth Day at school. I was signed up for snack mom this week and looked everywhere online to find a creative idea for Earth day that the preschoolers would enjoy. I’m not one for detailed cookie decorating or using lots of frostings so I came up with just dying the cookie dough green and blue to form sugar cookie “globes”. It worked like a charm and was very easy.

Earth Cookies
Sugar Cookie Recipe:
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2-1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Green & Blue food coloring
Green & Blue sugar sprinkles

(recipe from: kraftfoods.com)

Once the dough is combined make half blue and half green. You will need to form a log with blue in the middle and two green stripes around the outside. Refrigerate for 30mins. Cut ¼ inch circles. You can use your hands to form circles. I used a biscuit cutter and pressed the dough into it to form my circles. Sprinkle with colored sugar and bake for 10mins. @ 350F.

Emergency

April 22, 2008

Last Thursday at school Brandon had the pleasure of meeting a firefighter at school. Later that night at the dinner table for no reason what so ever Brandon told us all to STOP DROP & ROLL. I guess thought dinner was just as good of a time to roll around as any.

Bed time came and after Nathan was brought up for bed I went to get Brandon ready. As I got closer I heard Brandon talking. Talking to who? No one else was in his playroom that’s weird. I opened the door to find Brandon on the phone. I picked up the phone to find out who he was talking to. The response, 9-1-1.

The operator asked if everything was ok and how old Brandon was. I explained how he met a fireman at school that day. Fortunately no emergency resources had been dispensed.
