Oh Brady Bunch, truer words were never sung. My thoughts are so jumbled up right now that I'm having trouble even figuring out how to explain what I want to explain. This is one of those posts where I try to unravel the tangled mess inside my brain by attempting to channel the flow of thoughts from my head down into my fingers, so that maybe if I get the words onto the screen they will stop buzzing around in my head and let me get a freaking good night's sleep for a change. I spend entirely way too much time thinking about blogging. Hi, my name is Elizabeth, and I'm a blog-a-holic. Hi Elizabeth. I lay in bed at 2:00 am, 2:30 am, 2:40 am, etc., and flying around in my head like annoying little bees are all these thoughts- I wonder how many new emails I have in Outlook? Oh crap, I forgot to start the Lands' End giveaway! They are NEVER going to want to work with me again. Shoot, I was supposed to post that review of (insert name of book/CD/DVD/appliance/food product here). … [Read more...]
Photo Post: Fun With S’mores
When I was a kid, my parents used to take us camping in Muskegon State Park a couple times a summer. The best part of the trip was the evening campfire when we would spear marshmallows on peeled sticks and make S'mores. If you aren't familiar with S'mores, it's very simple: Break a graham cracker sheet in half to make two squares. Break a Hershey bar in half to make two squares. Put a Hershey bar half on a graham cracker half. Toast a marshmallow by holding it close to a flame until the outside just turns brown. Hold the marshmallow over the chocolate-topped graham cracker, and using another graham cracker half, slide the marshmallow off onto the chocolate.

Blu-Ray Review: Changing Lanes
Ben Affleck and Samuel L. Jackson starred in Changing Lanes, which came out on Blu-Ray May 19th. I had seen the movie on standard DVD sometime around 2003, but let's face it, I can barely remember what I watched last week let alone six years ago, so it was really like seeing the movie for the first time. Director Roger Mitchell (Notting Hill) crafted an edgy, intense thriller about two men whose lives literally collide. Ben Affleck plays Gavin Banek, a lawyer who is rushing to court to present documents in a case. Samuel L. Jackson is Doyle Gipson, an office worker rushing to court to try to prevent his ex-wife from moving with their kids to another state. When Gavin and Doyle get into a traffic accident, Gavin tries to buy off Doyle with a blank check and ends up dropping an important file for his case. After they are both late to court, affecting their personal and professional lives, mutual anger at each other leads Gavin and Doyle to play what becomes an increasingly harmful … [Read more...]
