On Monday, I stayed home sick from work, slept in past 9 (on a weekday!), watched about 8 hours of TV, and ate soup from a bag.  I think this is new, but you can buy a bag of WF soups from the prepared foods case now.  I also got a lemon ginger Kombucha then settled down on the couch and watched last week’s episode of the Amazing Race “with” Joey while he was on his lunch break at work.  These thoughts also went through my head.

Speaking of the Amazing Race…

I don’t know if we can all agree that we wanted Bates and Anthony to win (is Bates even a real name??), but we can all agree that B&A weren’t even half as cute as the Chippendales, James and Jaymes from last season.  Maybe I can reunite with them in Vegas?

Why is What Not to Wear so harsh?

I have very little fashion sense, but even I’ll agree that the guests on that show really need some help.  I just wish that help could be a little bit nicer.  I don’t think I’d respond very well to someone poking fun at every outfit I wore.

And why does every show have to include a makeover?

I swear back in the day when I used to watch MTV’s Made, everyone, even girls who wanted to be made into rappers or hockey players, got makeovers.  I can’t decide if I think this seems really superficial or if I also want everyone on those shows to get a makeover.

The secret to a life of happiness is snacks.

Just lots of snacks.

Doing nothing is really hard for me.

I took the day off to get some rest and really had to resist the urge to clean my entire apartment and go do something active outside (where the weather was actually really nice!).  I think my need to always be “doing something productive” will be the struggle of my life.

I’m back to work now but I still have half a voice.  Every time I try to speak, I can’t really be sure if words, squeaking or just plain silence is going to come out!
