All Things Kelly

How I felt when I saw the Neilsen Book on Tues evening.

When I married Shane, we created the perfect storm for TV Watching.

Both he and I grew up in TV ‘watching’ households.  And by watching, I mean that the TV was always on- no matter what, no matter who was in the room, no matter who was watching or wasn’t watching it. Some people like to have classical music playing in the background while cooking or reading- we have to have SportsCenter blaring, or CNN, or Bravo….

A few weeks ago we were chosen to become a Neilsen Family.

Have you ever taken a bite out of a protein bar and immediately spit the contents right back out?  This seems to be my reaction every time I try to ingest one of those over-priced, tasteless bricks.  I’ll admit that the concept is fantastic.  A small packaged, portable bar that is designed to fill you up and provide the protein you need to accomplish great things.  Too bad they are so terrible that I have yet to be able to experience these promised results.  I have tried brand after brand all resulting in wasted money. Recently, my beloved, Alton Brown aired a show guaranteeing that the protein bar disbeliever would be converted after trying his recipe. 

I thought you might need a few Miss E photos to get you through hump day.  This is just a hodgepodge of the last couple of weeks.  Enjoy!

I have been trying to figure out these last couple of weeks  what time frame does Glenn Beck want for his “Restore America” time machine?  I never trust people that live in the past.  And I can’t quite get a read on when he thinks America was so great.

Leon had 2 fantasy football drafts this weekend and in case you are not a football widow this is truly an important occasion.  I would guess he ranks this time of year up there with the birth of Eloise and our wedding.  Honestly, I bet it likes it more than our wedding.  But being the wife I have some insight into what is really going on and I am going to out him on a couple of his tricks. 

I like to get my news from the best sources possible, so The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are among mis favoritos!  During a recent program Mr. Colbert had author Wes Moore on to talk about his book, The Other Wes Moore. You can see the segment here.

Yesterday we took Elle for a walk to the park to swing (one of her favorite pastimes) and we sat in the grass and looked up at the sky (one of her favorite words) so in honor of her love of the sky today’s Friday Funny, Cloud dreaming.

Yesterday was Miss Elle’s first day back at school (and by school I mean her once weekly play group) 

I had hoped by now the Arizona racial profiling law would have made America furious. I certainly expressed  my concerns here and here, as well as a guest blog here.  But instead of outrage I hear of rallies supporting this type of legislation all over the country and it makes me feel sick, and helpless.  So what can I do?

I can become a M’ija.

I am usually completely transparent and  honest with you. But there are a couple of things I may have intentionally not mentioned.  So in the spirit of full disclosure I have a couple of confessions…
