For those you don't know, I love me some tea lights. I love all low levels of lighting. I don't like the big ball of death in the sky, nor fluorescent lighting indoors. This leaves me with candles and tea lamps.
I think those Chinese tea lights are sooo pretty and I have subsequently strung them around my patio and house. Imagine my excitement when I found out that somewhere in Finland, or Norway, or Russia or the North Pole each year they have a massive floating tea light celebration. I want to go to this!!! I need to do this here. Perhaps during my 4th wedding (I have other plans for the 2nd and 3rd)....mark your calendars, during the 4th round we are going to make this happen:
Soooo pretty!!!! I absolutely love it. Floating miracles.

quote of the meat filled day
Now that Poppa B is all retired and officially out of the academic hell that now is my everyday life, he has decided to change his email signature to reflect his personal meat filled humor. I read this out loud to two people today who thought it was hilarious, so I thought it was worth passing along:
Also on the topic of meat....we have officially launched the new company website which looks pretty damn amazing if you ask me. At least it has a pro-fessional spin to it, and will serve it's purpose well.
- "I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes."

music of the moment
Oh my, I'm completely addicted to this song. I love the voice, the instruments and just keep grooving to it. Toe tapping loveliness...I wish more people who sing about "poppies":

she still surprises
I do enjoy Rihanna. No lie. The girl kills it with Drake (my ringer), and with Em. Then she knocks out a ballad which amazes us all. You got to love the bright red hair, and her fashion. Apparently she is the new spokesperson for Barbados too....took them long enough to get on that train.
The new song, I love it:

palin needs a fashion consultant
I've been watching former-Alaskan-governorator/former-VP-candidate/current-family-road-tripper/current-media-whoure as she begins her bid for presidency. She has been traveling up and down the east coast in a big bus eating pizza and making up history. Although she won't yet admit it, this road trip is scheduled to end in DC in January 2013.
On this amazing media tour/family vacation, Palin has been wearing some jewelry which is begging for alittle LL fashion commentary:
Case and point #1:
In the words of Simmon, what the bloody hell is that? Seriously, I saw this picture (without the paint doodling) and thought, 80's much? How many bad necklaces can one person put on? Less is more lady, not sure you know that yet in fashion and in politics. Those fake pearls go great with those vampire repelling silver chains and jesus cross.
Case and point #2:
Wow, another jesus cross! You're just shouting religiosity. I have one question though, did you steal that from a pirate? From the Vatican? From the crown jewels vaults in London? On another note, what the hell kind of fake/crushed fur jacket is that? I bought one of those once for a pimp-n-hoes party during Halloween. It cost me about $10 and looked great with my crunk cup.
Case and point #3:
Well this jewelry selection is a little more confusing. Apparently, one necklace is the key to your heart while the other is the star of david. The six-point star is a frequent choice during your media blitzes, and I don't get it. What lock does that crown key open? Inquiring minds would like to know.
And finally, case and point #4:
This looks like something chunky I would wear, except I'm 6 feet tall with a personality twice that size. I can pull off (or so I think) chunkiness, you however look as if you strung some crystallized dinosaur poop to your neck. Are the shapes geographical? You betcha, one piece is Africa, and another is the shape of Russia I see from my back porch. True story, she never admits when she's wrong.
Well I do hope your bus, which has your name the same size as the constitution, decides to start campaigning this year. Frankly you are just too much fun to disappear from the politick scene. Palin, always good comedic value.

what, there is a new food pyramid?
A couple weeks ago I was following McBetty and all those meat please folks on twitter while they were at the launching of the new food pyramid in DC. Apparently, Ms. BO was there and telling everyone what they should be eating and in what proportions. Times have changed and we are lazier, fattier, and stupider, thus necessitating a new image.
So now the new food pyramid is actually a plate. It comes with a drink and a folk. No spoon for you. And your new folk is closer to a spork than something actually usable. No side dishes or extra bowls, fattie (without the ph/). Also, it should be noted that you are no longer allowed to eat sugar or fat either. The US govt does not recommend your ho-ho's or ice cream or cake as part of your new plate:
Well good work Ms. BO. I applaud your efforts in making an easier understood, slimmed down nutritional icon that illustrates eating guidelines. However, I'm a fan of the revised plate, which features the more commonly accurate American diet:

you should hula hoop more
Sooo rumor has it that the big Momma B and our life-long-MI-family-friend-soon-to-be-big-VA-friend have been taking professional hula hooping classes. I mean, how bored to you have to be in your retirement? What about a book club or pottery? Hula hooping, seriously?
The thought of Momma B hula hooping is slightly illogical, yet extremely comical. This is a woman who I've never seen dance, who couldn't clap on beat at basketball games for at least 10 years, and who is shaped like a short tree. I'm not sure she even has hips!!!
Well anyways, a tip of my sun brimmed hat to you both! Way to widen your social circle, way to challenge yourself, and way to go have a little fun with your life. This video is for you, hopefully someday you can "go pro" in hula hooping like these folks:
