1. In the past week, I have made over five dozen vanilla cupcakes in the hunt for the perfect high-altitude vanilla cupcake. The winner was the first recipe I printed but the last recipe I tried. Of course. I should have known!
2. Dog shaming. Have you seen it? It's perfection. My lab's picture would say I like to eat snow and then I puke a bucket-sized amount because my old stomach can't handle the temperature difference anymore. But I will eat snow every time I see it because I don't have to clean it up. Ha! (punk)
3. My spaniel's picture would say I fart loudly when I jump on furniture or go up stairs. It propels me. (weirdest dog ever)
4. My husband's would say...oh wait. Nevermind. The dogs are cute though. Thank God they have that going for them.
5. You know how I've been whining about setting up my new computer and Windows 8? Well, I'll try to refrain when I have to do it all. over. again. The screen has these red marks on it that apparently multiply daily (hourly?? every minute??) and eventually my screen will be full of them and I won't be able to see anything else. Awesome. So I'm getting a new computer and have to set everything up again.
6. In other news, I'm going to invest in a winery because I think I need to start drinking a lot more. So that I don't whine as much.
7. Oh and talk about a cluster when I went in to a big box store (that I won't name but starts with a B and ends with est Buy) to get this figured out. The verdict? I had to BUY a new computer so that I wasn't without a computer for a week. When I asked if they could transfer all my stuff over to the new computer, they said they charged $80 for that service. Oh geez...hold me back! It's great that I can be nice on the outside and be super sarcastic and mean on the inside and no one knows. I think. Hopefully my face doesn't give me away.
8. I went for my first run this week since Thanksgiving, and I didn't pass out. Hooray! I don't, however, have any plans for running again anytime soon.

9. I hate these "prove you're not a spammer" things with a passion. Seriously. Passionate hatred. Especially when I get it wrong and then I have to do it again.
10. Over Christmas break we watched a comedy show with the brilliant comics Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, and Larry the Cable Guy. This bit on Jeff Foxworthy's colonoscopy is pretty. dang. funny. It gets really good around 2 minutes if you don't want to watch/listen to the whole thing. Pretty high-quality video, which I think could be ordered to be taken down in mere minutes, so if it doesn't work search for Jeff Foxworthy colonoscopy. It's totally worth it, especially if you've had one or know anyone who's had one.
11. Pray for my appendages tomorrow as I'm sitting in 15 degree weather for 4 hours. I'm worried about my toes. But....Go Broncos!
12. Champ Bailey called the house today to remind us to wear orange to the game tomorrow. Sorry, Champ, but I don't have an orange coat. I'm going for warmth, not color. I'll be loud for ya though!
