i hope your holiday was filled with family, good food, and of course presents. lots and lots!

Hubble finds new moons, rings around Uranus

A photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope shows previously known rings around Uranus.

(CNN) — New images from the Hubble Space Telescope show the planet Uranus has two additional moons and two faint rings never observed before.

ageless humor. some things will make me laugh, despite my age. the planet uranus will always be on that list. especially when it has rings around it!

the romney’s are to the mormons as the kennedy’s were to the catholics. if first you don’t succeed try…try again. mitt for president? no. haven’t they been there done that? 1968.

latter-day politics? good-bye abortion. hello prohibition.

“he is my best friend, and it will be that way forever,” paris hilton said of her ex-fiancée paris latsis.

i hate to break up (pun intended) the oh so tender moment, but seriously. who stays friends with their ex? sure casual acquaintances (maybe) but best friends?

break-ups are meant to be uncivil affairs. smashed glasses, shattered egos, drunken text messaging, cheap insults, and most famously–hate sex. if you aren’t experiencing these symptoms then you aren’t breaking up properly.

so paris– fire your press agent, grab a spoon and spend a night as a “normal” girl.

last night was the first annual girly christmas party, hosted at my girl pad. the opposite gender not allowed. remember the days of childhood club houses with the no boys sign? well that was our party. complete with too much girl beer, girl chinese (fake meat), and girl christmas specials. nothing says i love my girls like purple flasks. if only they had been glitter….

to my girl gang, thank you for the good times and gift-age. i love you as much as a pumpkin latte (and that is a lot)!

suv’s, a rant.

maybe it’s the extra people out shopping and lack of parking, maybe i have just never noticed before, but whatever the case it feels like suv’s are multiplying.

sure, maybe i am being unfair to folks who live in places where they need 4-wheel drive. yeah, so what? i live in utah and manage just fine in a car. i may be bitter, but i am tired of pepsi drinking, cell phone jabbering idiots in super-sized suv’s who can’t manage to drive it faster than 30 mph without tipping it over. move over, i am feeling that need to speed. i am not suggesting everyone buy a prius, zero to sixty in 15 minutes. with the current trend in gas prices and global warming pollution i have set aside my jeep dreams. in reality, how many times do people go off-roading per month? exactly.

i make a semi-apology to those i offend. note i didn’t say anything about banning suv’s, i just said i hate them. a lot.

whew, that feels better….

thursday. coffee club with the girls. same venue, same drink, same girls.

however, today was a little different. eccentric if you will. aimee(1) wore a camouflage coat, and no she isn’t going huntin’.

sometimes….at your company party after seven beers when you have a choice of coats you go camo, and really why wouldn’t you? when she walked into starbucks wearing her fabulous new coat i hesitated for a moment, only a moment. quickly realizing aimee was being funny, as she often is. shortly thereafter her new boyfriend walked in also wearing a camouflage coat!

please note i am lying. just about the boyfriend part. people –this means there were two people in camouflage in the same establishment…and starbucks to boot!

karma. we all believe in it. some of us (read me) are terrified of it.

i enjoy making fun of things. i am the first to admit, i am not always a nice person. when i see something of interest i tend to point it out to my friends. while everyone does this to a degree, i have turned it into an olympic sport. i should feel bad, i know. unfortunately, if it weren’t for karma and the natural retribution it brings i wouldn’t. so after a string of bad luck this year i decided it was time to take it down a notch. mind you, i didn’t say quit. my mother told me never to be a quitter. i tried, i really really did. it was boring. boring to me and boring to the girls of coffee club. in fact they would joke about the entertainment of the evening. if my karma was already shot for the day we would have a good time, otherwise…well forget it. i can’t help it, i really can’t. i am a people watcher so i see things that need to be pointed out.

tim and aimee (1) , i blame you…..

the law of karma…..i am screwed.

maybe, just maybe next year i will break the habit. until then… bad luck for me. as i always say….if it weren’t for bad luck, i wouldn’t have any luck at all!

i had planned to stay out of the christmas wars. until today.

i was at best buy purchasing a few gifts. ok, fine i was there picking up some things for myself. so much for the original plan to only shop for others this season. seriously what was i thinking? as i was checking out i wished the sales clerk a merry christmas. the look on his face, yikes! i didn’t throw his kitten in a the river. i simply wished him a merry christmas, he stated that he was not allowed to accept that greeting. so, i am not thrilled with the current trend of being so politically correct that clerks are not allowed to wish customers a merry christmas. but i can deal. however, someone not accepting my greeting? i refuse to accept that.

what happened to tradition? christmas trees to holiday trees. what next, banning the reindeer?

i have a nasty little cold. yes, still. whoever gave me these fun little germs, may you be cursed with tacky christmas presents.

seeing that i am going to be staying in for the evening i stopped off to pick up a flick. after much debate i made a decision and walked to the counter, where my current blockbuster boyfriend was having a phone conversation with what sounded like a disgruntled customer. as he ended the conversation he shook his head telling he wished all people that yelled on the phone would lose their voice. i smiled pretty and made my best attempt to speak. realizing that i was without voice, he quickly turned bright red. i got a good laugh out of it, that is if i could laugh….

it was well worth braving the cold. who cares if the movie sucks, i got my entertainment for the evening.
