Did I find the perfect light pink background color or what! Stay tuned...there could be more changes coming. I'm not sure I'm happy with it. Email me your opinions of it so far. Damn, it's hot today! As I type this, it's 78 degrees outside....looks like Summer is on it's way. Can you imagine working as a landscaper in this heat? Or working on a highway! I won't complain about my job when I think about those poor people. How about being a baker in a hot kitchen all day? You go outside for a break and it's worse out there! I'm re-thinking my dream career as a baker.... Gosh...here we go with that perfect transition again. From talk of being a baker to Easy-Bake Ovens. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Easy-Bake Oven. You have to know what those are. Every little girl wanted to bake a cake, and little boys, too. Bobby Flay (Food TV chef) had one that he baked stuff in. In my case, I melted licorice. My Mom didn't buy me expensive things like that, but I was crafty enough to swipe the one from Mary's trash when she got a new one. Mary lived across the street from me. Her's was on the blink, hence getting a new one, and I told my Mom she "gave" me her old one. This thing was a piece of....um, well...crap. The 5000 or how many ever watt light bulb that was in it, was on the verge of biting the dust. It wouldn't bake a cake, but it was hot enough to melt stuff....like licorice. So that's what I did for about a week till it finally died. The ones they make now look like microwaves. Pretty funny. So I suggest if you know a little girl or boy, buy them an Easy-Bake Oven. I'm 100% sure they will love it. The little boy's can hide it in their closet when their friends come over so there isn't any chance of being called a girl on the playground. Or just keep it in the kitchen...it looks like your Mom's microwave. This topic transition isn't as smooth. Ricky Martin. He was on the TODAY show this morning and sang "Livin' La Vida Loca" live. Yeesh. He sounded terrible. And he didn't look so hot either. He's got this hairdo goin' on that isn't really workin' very well. And honestly, he can't dance. I was watching this, and I know I had a really confused look on my face the whole time. I'm thinking "what the hell is he doing? Just stand still...it'll look better." Poor guy....has to suck being Latin and not being able to dance. Okay, that's all for today. Oh, but - still sick. Going to take a cap full of Robitussin. I can't even taste it - can't smell, can't taste. Down the hatch, no problem. You know it has to be bad when you can down that nasty stuff without cringing. When I cough, I sound like a 90 year old woman with lung cancer. Anyway, stay cool! posted by Kitty Wednesday, May 21, 2003
