COW-ABUNGA!!
 Ok, I think we can all agree that the 80s rocked. With the acid-washed, tight-rolled jeans and the ponytails that could be worn ANYWHERE on your head and, of course, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Everyone had a favorite ninja and, of course, mine was the fun-loving, surfer-slanged Michelangelo...helloo? Who didn't love him? So, this is like my grown-up version of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle crush...may I introduce the fifth, uh...awesome dude - Marc Bartolomeo! (c'mon, his name SO works for this: Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bartolomeo...) So, maybe he's not green...or radioactively enhanced...or a turtle with mad ninja skills...but his last name really IS Bartolomeo, and he is this week's HGTV COW. He's one of those guys that started out as a handyman, turned GQ model, and then turned electrician on 'Save My Bath'. Oh, and did I mention that his nickname is Sparky? How sweet is that? He's one of two in the world that could get away with that nickname - and the other guy has a tail and is covered in fur. Anyway...I didn't really have time to do any in depth coverage on this guy since I was too busy checking out his portfolio here. And putting a fake shell and mask on him with photoshop took up WAY too much time. But I think Master Splinter would appreciate my efforts with a 'COWabunga' for Marc Bartolomeo, HGTV Crewman of the Week! Labels: HGTV Crewman of the Week |

Go TREK Up From The Neck Up
 Soo...Hi! My name is Lori and I am a cheez-it addict. Whew! I'm glad I got that off my chest! I just can't seem to help myself. Whenever I go grocery shopping for my household staples...you know, JIF peanut butter...chocolate-covered granola bars...frozen edamame...I walk by the snack aisle and re-realize how much I love square cheddar cheese-flavored crackers. I. Must. Have. Cheeze-its. Oh look! Cheeze-its are on sale and they go so well with applesauce and chicken...I'll get a box...or three. Oh look! Cheeze-its aren't on sale but they go so well with sandwiches and yogurt...I'll get a box...or three. Oh look! Cheeze-its are astronomically priced and I'll have to forgo eating meat this week but they go so well with air....i'll get a box...(wait for it...) or three!!! Yes...sad but true. It is the nature of my addiction. But this post isn't about Cheeze-its...it's about the little nifty time-waster I discovered on the latest Cheeze-it box I purchased. Check this out...you can turn yourself into a Vulcan!! Yessssssssssss!!!! All of my life's dreams are coming truuuuue!!!! Now all that's left is getting the fairy king to fall in love with me and grant me wings! Ahh...sweet fairy king... So where was I? Vulcan? Right. So....here's what you need: A mug shot of yourself - the more seriously pissed-off you look - the better, an internet connection, and nothing better to do with your time. Then skip on over and TREK YOURSELF. Sure it's creepy...but fun!  Labels: Just For Fun |
