Did Someone Say Random?

Lisa tagged me today for seven random things. I just gotta say… You like me! You really like me! My first tag! I’m just so… so… so… emotional right now.

*wanders off in search of chocolate cake*

(Do you see what I did there?)

Ok, so, without further silliness, here are my seven random things:

• I can turn my tongue into a three-leaf clover. Observe:
  
  

  It might be difficult to get that image out of your mind. I recommend alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol. For those of you who are counting calories, I would recommend Guinness, which is surprisingly low in calories.

• Tonight we ate homemade pizza and Brussels sprouts for dinner. I believe that those two cancel each other out (shut up! they so totally do!), especially since Kristian resisted the urge to cover the Brussels sprouts in butter (much to my friend Liza’s disappointment). Liza might or might not be reading this over my shoulder right now. Now she’s laughing. My work here is done.

• I write better blog entries with people reading over my shoulder.

• We are watching the Patriots’ game and, I hate to say it, but it’s kindof boring. Two touchdowns in less than half a quarter. Yawn. Sure, it’s fun to see the Pats run up the score, but it does get a bit repetitive. As a Boston sports fan, I had no idea that I would ever be saying something like, “God, mediocrity in the NFL is annoying. I’d like to see a game where it wasn’t obvious from the first play that the Pats were going to win in a blowout.” Kindof like the Colts game two weeks ago, but with 100% less Peyton Manning. I hate that guy.

  Now that I said that, we just saw the craziest play EVAR. J.P. Losman got knocked over, fumbled the ball, scooped it up and threw for a first down. I need to learn to stop jinxing my sports teams. And… they just threw for a touchdown. I am perilously close to deleting the previous paragraph. Ouch!

• Ummm…… Boston sports teams suck! Really suck! The games are all so close! And we suck! Did I mention how much we suck? I did? Good.

• I need to stop watching makeover shows where they do things like buy $500 jackets. It starts making spending $78 on (an admittedly adorable) dress seem totally reasonable. Bad Hope! Bad. Your credit card would like to have a word with you. (Credit card to Hope: Ouch. Stop doing that.)

• I’ve been having a hilarious conversation via gmail with my friend Jennie. We’re torn between our desire to sit around drinking fruity drinks while our BF’s (in her case, fiance) do the dishes and lavish love and adoration on us when we get together in a couple months and our mutual compact to count calories and watch what we consume. Jennie wanted to know if cosmos count as a low-calorie food. I think that they do if you do jumping jacks which consuming them. Thus, I will be packing several sippy cups in our suitcases. Also, Jennie just might be getting this for Christmas.

Phew. That was hard! Who thought that writing a bunch of random stuff for a blog that is called Randomness would be so difficult?!

Because she is my alcoholic muse tonight, I would like to tag Jennie, who has been inspiring me all evening. I would also tag Liza, but she doesn’t have a blog.

Viva el randomness, yo.
