A photo of me on stage. Promise. ;)
I’m sorry it’s been two weeks since my last post, but the gods have been against me. My hubby was gone, I went on a reading jag, plus couldn’t stop day-dreaming about winning The Voice. (You should have heard my rendition of Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You. I absolutely KILLED in that fantasy segment.)

Sure, there may have been a few other things, like my sister passing along the first season of the new Dr. Who*, forcing me into a wildly happy but comatose state in front of the television for a while, but outside of that I have been TOTALLY ON TASK.

Okay, so maybe there was that time I spent an inappropriately long time adding photos to my ‘Funny Celebrity Photos’ board on Pinterest.

Picture
Get some class, yogurt!
And maybe I got a little too upset that yogurt, even though it’s supposed to be "cultured," always seems to spit in my face when I peel back the foil on the container. But I needed to take that rage and spend an hour composing a letter to Yoplait saying, "We put a man on the moon, for cripe’s sake. Can’t you tame yogurt!"

And sure, obsessing about the word "phlegm," and how it wins the trifecta for not only looking and sounding gross but also representing something gross, too, is not something normal people do for half a day, but that makes me unique, people. Roll with it.

Anyway, I’ve got to go now. I found yet another funny photo of Britney Spears -- man, that girl never ceases to disappoint -- and if I don’t add it to Pinterest right now the world will explode. Neither of us want that to happen. Bye!

* If you are aghast by my love of Dr. Who, you are not alone. It is pretty clear from my blog posts that I am one cool chick and in no way a geek. Seriously….okay, not seriously.

Britney always looks half in the bag. I kind of think she wears it well. People that are "country" can get away with it.

The yogurt thing had me laughing. I feel that way about microwave lunches. You take that little plastic film off, and you get blasted with steam. It's like, "REALLY? I'm hungry, don't mess with me like that, Lean Cuisine."

Britney does, doesn't she? Poor thing. The paparazzi take so many bad photos of her. As for the Lean Cuisine thing? Ugh! That gets me, too, though if you position yourself just right, you can give yourself a pretty nice steam facial...or second degree burns.

Spitting yogurt? I've always enjoyed Dr. Who myself. Thank goodness for PBS! My fav Dr. Who is the older guy from the 70's.

I can't deal with Britney anymore; I'm into Jennifer "Katniss" Lawrence now! :) See ya' in the BC threads.

I just recently got into the Dr. Who biz. My sister and brother watched it when we were young, but I was too cool. The joke's on me. I'm loving it. And Jennifer Lawrence? Good taste, my man! She's a great actor, too. I'll have to see if I can find any goofy photos of her. ;)

Janene, sounds like you were having a great time, the sort of life most people dream of. Why did you ever stop?

Actually, I'm not finished yet. Though I've already 'won' The Voice, I still have on more Dr. Who disc and half of the Bloggess' book to read. Back to to book now! ;)

Janene, You never fail to make me chuckle with your posts! I, too, am disturbed and disgusted by phlegm (the word and the substance), which is unfortunate, seeing as how that is the main bodily goo I deal with as an anesthesiologist :-/

My condolences to you though, from what I hear, the pay ain't bad. ;) Whoever decided how to spell phlegm sure did it right. It looks as disgusting as it is!

I seem to have similar issues with the mustard container...I don't know...lol I will now have to look up Dr. Who... I do not even know who that is..lol Fun article. :)

Yep. I've been assaulted by the mustard container, too. As for Dr. Who, you've got to check him out! After a few episodes I got completely hooked. Can't wait to see the next season!

Um - yeah. I'm with you on the blasted yogurt. But I challenge you for the virtual Voice honor, because I've really got that one sewn up. You should have seen it - it would have drawn a tear to your eyes and a bump to your goose...

You really did hit the trifecta on this post, Janene. I guess the one that got to me most was the Britney Spears photo. That girl is going to skip middle age and go straight to the geriatric phase. Some women work years to look that bad!

It's amazing how someone so beautiful can look so bad so much of the time. I blame the paparazzi. Lindsay Lohan, though? She's got no one to blame but herself...and maybe meth. I don't know. I don't run in her circles.

Spitting yogurt! You made me laugh lady and you always do that. A great sense of humor is your gift and I'm happy to be a recipient.

Thanks, TT. I'm a giver. ;) I'm glad my silliness makes a few people laugh. My family members just roll their eyes.

Cultured yogurt that spits, and phlegm. Why does that make me think of Titanic? :D

--Hope you're enjoying your busy time.

The Titanic?! I have no idea. You're strange. That must be why we're friends. :)
