Random thoughts...

- Most celebrities drive me crazy. Take Britney Spears. I think she is spoiled, selfish and grew up in a sad situation where values were not taught. Hollywood stars may seem to have it all, and exude a sort of confident content front, but really they must be miserable. The media is obsessed with these people, and frankly I get sick of hearing about their sad lives.

-I really REALLY want to watch Tiger Woods play this year. I mean lets be honest; He's the greatest golfer in history. I know people who just can't stand him and I just don't get it. In my opinion he doesn't seem conceited, or irritating. He is a family man with a generous heart. And he is the most amazing golfer I've ever seen. His swing is perfection, and I predict a grand slam this year. That's my take.

-The church has a brilliant welfare system. The government does not. Jared was working with a patient a while ago who was on food stamps. He told Jared that he buys cigarettes with his food stamps. HOW STUPID IS THAT! Giving people money will do very little to really help. If people are in need, it's goods that should be given out, not money.

- I am really excited to watch LOST on Thursday and welcome any other losties to let me know their opinions and theories about this whole story.

- I love the gym I go to because everyone wipes down the machine after every use. It helps that every single workout machine has a cleaner bottle attached to the machine and fresh towels . How convenient. And smart. No MRSA for me thank you very much.

-I love Costco. I have to go every week even if I don't need anything. I just love it; can't explain it.
-If I'm tempted to eat a not so healthy nightime snack, I resist the urge by brushing and flossing my teeth. I mean who wants to eat anything right after you brush your teeth? Right?

-Speaking of not so healthy snacks, sometimes I eat chocolate chips right out of the bag. I take a spoon, scoop some peanut butter onto it and smother it with chocolate chips. Delicious.

- This immature bickering between Obama and Clinton is actually a good thing for Republicans, so I say keep it coming!

- I bought myself a hand held vacuum for my 28th birthday. Wow, to think I get excited that this thing sucks up everything with serious force. I'm strange.

- I have this habit of picking the skin around my finger nails. I really really REALLY want to stop this, but for the last decade I can't seem to stop. I used to bite them, but now instead I just pick away. It's equally destructive to my poor fingers. Any advice on how to stop this bad habit?

- Well, I'm off to read my book. I just started "The Bourne Identity." It's completely different from the movie, but still pretty gripping.

Man, I have a lot of comments. I'll try to pick just a few:

I love Tiger Woods, too, and I never seem to get sick of him winning. Strange, I don't feel that way about anyone else so dominant.

I sometimes eat chocolate chips out of the bag, too. And I scoop peanut butter on a spoon and cover it with M&Ms. So good!

I also brush my teeth when I don't want to be tempted into a snack (or when I have already had something and am wanting more...)

Fun post, Laura!

How much do I love you, Laura! TONS!! That was a great post!
I too have a slight problem picking at my fingers and finger nails but I have found this wonderful tool that helps me take care of the skin that drives me crazy. It's a side-ways clipper just for the dry skin around your nails. It has helped a lot!

I admit it, I'm a Lostie too! I have TiVoed Lost so I can watch all the confusing bits over! What is up with this crazy island(s)?
