Jesus Juice?

Jackson routinely drank wine out of soda can... refers to white wine as “Jesus juice” and red wine as “Jesus blood.”

...all the kids around Jackson knew about Jesus juice. Jackson reportedly told them, “Jesus drank it, so it must be good.”

He's so normal it's scary. Right.

Meet The Fockers

Could it be? A sequel to Meet the Parents? It's a working title, but Meet the Fockers (2004) is listed at imdb.com. I loved the first movie, and adore Ben Stiller. I hope the 2nd is at least 1/2 as funny as the first.

Southern Biscuits and Gravy

I tried this Southern Biscuits and Gravy recipe today for dinner. I tripled the biscuits (but only used 2 sticks of butter instead of THREE), and kept the gravy pretty much the same, except I used freaking Ranch mix instead of onion (with some dehydrated onion thrown in to simulate an onion dip).

It was good, but I could not get over the fact that I had added so much butter to the biscuits.

Friday Fiver

the friday five

1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails? It depends which email account I'm sending from. Unless it's from the store, or a newsletter, I don't use sig lines.

2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven't graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be? Uhhh... no.

3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say? What is a vanity plate?

4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say? An ornament a long time ago from a couple girls at school. I think they felt sorry for me 'cause I was new. It said something like, "Friends Forever" on it, and my name.

5. What would you like your epitaph to be? Wow. Hmm. I guess mainly that I was loved and gave love to my family. That's most important to me. All on top of that is gravy.

Cover Those Breasts

Increasing the number of women who nurse their babies is a goal of the U.S. government. But pictures of breast-feeding, which is as old as humankind and strongly recommended for infant health, is apparently offensive to some.

Of coarse, showing just as much breast on a scantily clad model or celebrity (on a front page) is perfectly fine.

Review- Catch The Moon

Catch The Moon by Lisa Loeb, Elizabeth Mitchell (Artemis Records)

Catch The Moon

The first time I saw this book/CD set, I was browsing books at Barnes and Noble. It intrigued me because I read Lisa Loeb's (you know, the Reality Bites soundtrack) name on the cover. What was she doing writing children's books (didn't realize there was a CD with it)?

At any rate, I'm glad I had a chance to listen to this CD. Within seconds of popping it into my radio in the big, old van, I was taken back to the music of my own childhood. The instruments and vocals paired together, reminding me of the show The Magic Garden, and a record my mom would spin for me when I was young enough to be worry-free. (Don't ask, okay? I loved that show.)

This is more than just children's music, because it's sung by some people that can actually sing. You don't turn it on and cringe, or roll your eyes when your kids beg to listen to it (ringing any bells here?). It draws you in to the world of music with melodies that are familiar and voices that are pleasing to your ears. Basically, it's... a grown up music-lover's CD that you can painlessly share with the kids. Did I mention my kids love it? I can't tell you how many times I was commanded to listen to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star..." over and over.

The CD starts out fast, with songs that make kids wanna wiggle. It then moves into slower songs, finishing off with ones that are smooth enough to put a kid to sleep.

Mind you, it's not just the CD; there's also the adorably whimsical and charming book that comes paired with the music. The book is short and sweet - perfect for a quick nap or bedtime wind-down. Read the book, pop in the CD and - goodnight!!

Bottom line: Good music, cute story. Perfect gift for a soon-to-be mom, or young child. If you hate kids-y sounding music for kids, give this one a try. It's sweet music to your ears that both you and your child will like.

Pssst!! This CD/Book set will be the next contest prize, and will be up by the end of the day.

Internet Postage

Foxnews.com:

Over the past few years, the Internet has been rife with rumors of e-mail taxes that would in effect become the postage stamps of the Internet. Until now, it has been easy to dismiss these absurd hoaxes as just that. If a handful of politicians get their way, these and other discriminatory Internet taxes could see the light of day. And those e-mail tax rumors might be a hoax no more.

Britney Married

Britney's married, and then she's not. She says she was "of unsound mind were that she didn't understand what she was getting herself into..."

So, the Little White Wedding Chapel didn't give it away? Thought it was a pancake house, I guess.
