Look out Kanye, you’ve got some competition. He’s already got over 120,000 followers (including us) and he hasn’t even tweeted yet. We’re all waiting with bated breath Charlie!
UPDATE: First post. Yep. Creepy.

OK so I guess I’ve been living in a cave for the last week – or I just really don’t care – but I just found out that the Biebs has cut his hair (GASP). I know. I know. Angels are sobbing. Evidently he “just felt like it.” Sort of like why most people cut their hair. They just feel like it. But since it’s Justin Bieber, we need to stop the presses for this.
Now I know what you’re thinking. We did a post last year when Rob cut his hair. But that’s completely different. That really was devastating news. We have since recovered though because images like this keep coming out. (Thank you Jesus.)
Oops, back to the Biebs. So anyway, in my opinion (because I know everyone needs to know what I think about this), in my opinion, his hair looks better. I always hated that ridiculous shag that made him look like a girl. He actually is beginning to look like guy now – except in these photos where I have to agree with TMZ – he does look like a lesbian.
Oh, and did you know he’s about to turn 17?? 17! He looks maybe close to 15, but 17?! No fricken way. I’ll show you a real 17 yr old (circa 2009).

We were watching Nurse Jackie the other night. There was a patient that came in who complained of some crackly noises in his ear. Turns out there was a spider in there that they had to flush out. Let me give you some advice. Don’t watch this episode right before you go to bed. My husband and I both have an above average fear of bugs crawling in weird places – I watched Arachnophobia as a kid and it took me a year to eat cereal again because of the damn spider they found in the Wheaties box.
In case you do ever find yourself wondering, “Is there a spider or other bug creature crawling in my ear?” Here’s an article I found on how to get it out. It’s sort of like netty-potting your ear. I especially like step 4: Remove the spider from your ear area as soon as it exits, or else it may go back in. The spider is likely to scurry out quickly, so be prepared as it exits to brush him away.
Um pretty sure as soon as I see that bugger crawl out I will scream like a little girl “KILL IT!” and flail until it’s gone. There will be no “scurrying” back in my ear.
And if you’ve never worried about this before in your life until now, you’re welcome

From about the age of 9 to 18, I was a member of a summer league swim team. I loved it. Swimming was my thang and I felt like I was pretty good. My teammates were my neighbors and my best friends and we spent every day and night together over the summer. Our team started out small, and not all that fantastic, but after about 4 years the tides seemed to turn. We got good….like REALLY good. We had several unbeaten seasons and always made a run at the Summer Championship swim meet. Not to mention we always had the BEST cheering section (our parents were great!) It was the time of my life, and I’m glad that I got to grow up making so many wonderful memories with that team. I can only hope that my future kiddos can have a similar experience.
So what was our team called? Oh, we were the Hardscrabble HIPPOS. Yup, we were hippopotamuses. You might think that we would be the butt of many jokes because of that….and we were. Especially when we were a losing team. “Hippos are fat,” “Hippos are slow,” “Hippos can’t swim!” Blah, blah, blah. Some people on the team rallied for a name change to the Hardscrabble Hammerheads, but the Hippo faithful rallied around our rotund mascot and vetoed the hammerhead name (and kicked those pro-hammerhead people off the team, kidding!) But when we started kicking everyone’s butt….well, people shut up and seemed to jump on the Hippo bandwagon. Everyone wanted to be a hippo And just to silence the argument once and for all that hippos are “fat, slow and can’t swim,” I present you with this. Thank you CNN.
Yea, that’s right. HIPPOS RULE, and we’ll chase your speed boat down and eat you at night!

Here’s a quick multiple choice quiz for you. As I sit here writing this blog post, is it currently:
A. Raining so hard I may need an ark to get down 42nd street in the morning.
B. Hailing ice golf balls of death.
C. So windy our windows are shaking….I’m not kidding.
D. Blizzarding.
E. Thundering and Lightning like a fool.
F. All of the above.
The correct answer?
“F”
“F” as in holy F@%$ I think the world is coming to an end outside my window….
Mommy 
When I see things like this, I wonder “where did I go wrong in life?” Why did I bother studying and going to a good college? Stress over grades and take Calculus, when people that narrate funny cat pictures can make $30 million. Why? Why.

I’m beginning to think that the world is coming to an end sooner than I thought. And if I’m right, a GIGANTIC shopping spree will ensue as well as ridiculous chocolate consumption.
What am I talking about? Have you seen the news lately? More and more birds keep dropping dead out of the sky, thousands of fish and crabs are washing up dead too– all over the world. Look at this map of mass animal deaths. It’s insane! What is going on?? What is next? Dogs and cats living together? It’s mass hysteria!
And if Lenny Bruce isn’t afraid, then we know we’re f*cked.
Seriously though, this news is more than a little disturbing. We’ve already had crazy earthquakes and Snowapocalyses, now mass animal deaths? If the dead start rising from their grave, those Zombie Survival Guides better damn well work.

Geez, talk about a paparazzi overload! I think I would go blind from this!
And because you really couldn’t hear a word they were saying over the constant camera clicks, here’s a better interview with the couple!

Yes, it’s all over the news today and I for some reason can’t take my eyes off of it. Prince William and Kate Middleton are engaged…..finally! They made it official last month on a private, (extremely private apparently), vacation to Kenya. How romantic! Of course everything is crazy hush, hush, and there’s not a lot of details about the whole ordeal, but we do know that they’ll be tying the knot either next spring or summer and that Prince William proposed with his mother’s engagement ring…an extremely large blue sapphire and diamond ring. Beautiful! With former Princess Diana and Prince Charles’s wedding being called the wedding of last century, I’m sure that Prince William and Kate’s is going to be quite the knockout for this century! Move over Chelsea Clinton!
I remember when I was younger, I thought Prince William was gorgeous. And I had tons of friends study abroad in London during college and the classic dialogue line before they left was always, “Go find Prince William and make him fall in love with you!” Ha. But in all honesty, as much as the public doesn’t know about Kate, she does seem to be quite a nice person and I find myself to be kind of obsessed with her fashion choices.
She’s just got it together, ya know? Which, I guess if you’re about to become the future Queen of England you kind of do have to have it together. I cannot wait to see who designs her gown, gah! Any guesses?
