Recent discoveries and other stuff

Things I've recently learned, thanks to VH1...

* It is a BAD IDEA to watch VH1's Top 40 Hotties of the 90's with your husband. Seriously. Consider the fact that this list is just BRIMMING with people who were around when you passed the age where boys had cooties and now had a little something else... Apparently I was making "yummy" noises throughout most of them. How do I know this? A sharp elbow to the side! Who can blame me when LL Cool J's segment is all about him licking his lips... *drool*

* VH1 FINALLY got a list right - for a change! Two words: Marky Mark. Two more: Dylan McKay. TYSON BECKFORD!!!! Oh my... I think I need to go lie down... [Especially since after this post, I'm either fired or divorced...]

* I simply do not understand my husband's taste in women. (I mean, perfect specimen (moi) aside...) We were watching the hotties show and they were showing all these beautiful women and all they got was a "Enhhhhhhh" from him. HOW IN GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY DOES CINDY CRAWFORD GET A BORED ENHHH?!

In other non-VH1 related news...

* There is nothing more adorable than a man who loves (his) kids. My boss recently came in with his three rugrats, all under the age of 4. Regardless of what I think of him (for the record, I have no opinion either way - too soon for that), it was so cute to see him picking them up, swinging them around, letting them climb all over him like a jungle gym. He became a whole new person. Guys carrying their newborns strapped to their chests make me melt, too.

* People might know that I have my baby names all picked out; 2 each for boys and girls (but we're only having one - I believe in choices!). Noone gets any input to them except the one squeezing it out! but I tried to be as fair to Justin and the family as I could (esp. hard since Justin wants to name our son Xylophone or something crazy like that). However, I've recently discovered a girls' middle name, a family name, that I would LOVE to use... the problem is that it does not go with names that end with "a" ("Emma", "Amanda") - and I can seem to ONLY like girls names that end in "a"! So now I don't know what to do... LUCKILY I have many years (at least 2) before I have to worry about it at all.

* We've re-re-re-recommitted to eating healthy. (Now that we have a working fridge, that helps immensely.) So today I had my 5-point lean cuisine and a nice, healthy garden salad. Here's where I get supremely annoyed. It may not mesh with "healthy eating", but the one thing I CANNOT do is skimp on my salad dressing. This salad came with it's little container of salad dressing. That was good for maybe the first layer of greens (and I'm not talking thick coating!)... so now how about the bottom 9/10ths of my salad?!!? I tried choking down dressing-less salad but gave up half way through. It all ended up tasting vaguely like grass and I was developing less than flattering images in my head...
