isn't it ironic....? (or just messed up)

that i find more songs on youtube than stupid spotify. case in point: i had the song stuck in my head about the crazy sheep who's the odd one out. finally after one (painful agonizing brainwracking uphill-all-the-way) HOUR on the treadmill i remembered it's name: "Misfit" by Curiosity Killed the Cat. which is NOT on spotify???! but it IS on that very nice youtube, which then said i might also like to hear Aztec Camera and Deacon Blue and Scritti Politti and Prefab Sprout... yes, i would! no thanks to spotify, for being entirely sucky and useless. youtube even has videos for heaven's sake!!!

yesterday i was a helper at the school (which meant i had to give up my giving up soda). kids are soooooo exhausting and make me feel sooooo thirsty.  anyway, they all (ONE HUNDRED of them) had to draw something lovely to make into a greeting card for the school auction. one boy said the only thing he liked was guns. one boy drew a bomb. hmmmmmm. one boy drew a scene from GTA V. one boy drew mud. my child drew a Mexican dancing turkey (which was completely adorable and joyful and wonderful of course ;) the girls all drew hearts and rainbows and cupcakes and peace signs and kittens :) i sooooo want to buy those greeting cards!!!! they are all awesome - i totally know someone who would appreciate that GTA V birthday card! and someone i'd love to send the bomb to ;)

i am in the midst of a "my 600 pound life" marathon. but oh my gawd it makes me SO DESPERATELY HUNGRY for fast food. those people eat so much junk... it should put me off but it doesn't. i am totally craving a big mac (and i don't even eat meat...?) and large fries and an un-diet soda and two apple pies for a dollar.... those people eat the best stuff!!! then they go to the doctor and blame their 33 pound weight gain in a month on water - arrrghhh, i love it!!! it's just plain good for the soul :)

tomorrow it's supposed to snow!!! when will it get old??! you know what i don't miss.....? California :)
