Our stimulus check has been deposited into our bank account and I can already feel a shift in the economy… gas prices are going down, bake sale profits are going up… buy! Sell! Buy! Sell! All is good in the world.
Despite being stimulated, I have actually been quite boring lately. I have absolutely nothing to blog about, unfortunately. There’s a new pizza place in Gibsonia called Pizza Fusion that is pretty rockin’. I ate there once already and would like to go there again soon.
Oh, I know. I can talk about tea. I’ve been on the hunt for new fruity flavored green teas, and I recently purchased a lychee jasmine green tea from my local tea shoppe… VOMIT. If you will recall, I wrote about my negative experience with lychee martinis a few months ago, so I don’t know why I would go the way of the lychee again. It is just not a refreshing taste. So I have a quarter pound of tea that I will probably not drink. Perhaps I will pour it into the river and have a reenactment of the Boston Tea Party. Speaking of tea, my newfound favorite tea is Green Tea Kombucha from Yogi Tea. It is so damn tasty. I’m not quite sure what kombucha is, but I think it is supposed to clean out your liver, and my liver could use a rinsin’, if you know what I’m sayin’, he-ey!
This post is officially all over the place. I have been trying to keep my posts to one subject (or less?) recently, but what can you do. I will just revert to my old stand by of watching sub-par Lifetime movies so I can inform all of you, my lovely readers, about them. Hey now.

Not a mental breakdown, but a breakdown of what I’ve been up to for the past several weeks other than changing around the looks of the site.
Nate, Pat, Leah, and I went to Asheville, NC last month for a 4 day visit. We stayed in a super awesome “chalet,” which apparently translates to “neat little house on a narrow road.” Our visit consisted of trying out various restaurants, visiting the Biltmore Estate, going to Chimney Rock Park, and going to an Earth Day festival to sample teas and coffees. Asheville was a really cool place, but we were warned by one of the locals not to move there because of the poor job market. Not that I was planning on it.
Here’s a picture of me and the hubby at the Biltmore - America’s largest house:

I decided to change my site over to WordPress. The “famous 5 minute install” took approximately 45 minutes to work out (most of) the kinks and get my old posts uploaded. I can tell some things from my end are still a little effed up, but I’m glad to try something new. For now, the site will look like “just another WordPress blog” (it’s not just a clever name) until I have some time to make it “my own.” I used a lot of quotes in this entry, and I like it! It’s all about the “new me.”

Perhaps it reminds her of being in the womb.

While watching Lost tonight, I noticed at the end of two commercial breaks, the logo from “The Mole” flashed really quickly on the screen. It seemed like a glitch, but it happened TWICE. Does this mean they are bringing the greatest reality competition EVER back?

I just wanted to make a general “CHET <3″ comment to the hometown hottie from Survivor who finally got the boot this past episode… I have to say, this season’s contestants can only be described as “rag-tag” at best. I was still rooting for Chet though up until the last moment.
Nate is trying to organize a camping trip for this summer, so I will be able to live out my own little Survivor-like fantasy. Except I will have more changes of clothes and we won’t have to stand on any posts for long periods of time. I have but one thing left to say… SUCK IT, PROBST!

I’m thinking about dropping out of the Internet and/or creating an alter ego named Flexi Banditwings. Thoughts?

I promised insanity, and hoo-doggy have you got it. I like TOTALLY forgot that we bought a LoveSac this past weekend. That’s right - this bad boy is in our living room right now:

I figured since we now have a giant red sac, it might be time to spruce up some other furniture around the old shanty town we call “home,” so I bid on a red slipcover for our (currently orange) couch on eBay, and I won today. So hopefully soon, we will have this couch:

One may be asking what we are doing with our old tan recliner - we’re giving it away. So if you want it, please post here and also come and pick it up ASAP. I tried posting it on Freecycle, but something insanely freaky went on and I got 14 million spam emails in one day and I can only attribute these spamalicious messages to my email being posted on the Freecycle site, so I deleted the posting. I don’t know if anyone out there in cyberland saw it beforehand because I (surprisingly) have not gotten any responses yet. I figured a free chair in decent working order would be a Freecycler’s dream come true! Anyways, it’s still available, and this is what it looks like:

(Except imagine it with a group of angels huddled around and a spotlight shining down on it.)

My life is just boring these days, I suppose. I promise to do something insane in the next 72 hours and post about it!
