Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas Eve. I am [not so] patiently waiting for DHL to deliver my new computer. It’s on the truck, but where is the truck? That is the question!!!

It has come to my attention that I totally forgot about my Friday links feature. Whoops! That’s what happens when my schedule deviates from the norm. Who would have thought I’d spend the last three days shacked up with a sick husband? Luckily he’s getting better, albeit slowly and with a cough that prevents him from sleeping.

Anyway, on to the links!

This really short commercial is fun and perverted.

Lots of laughs with these true travel agent stories. Too bad there aren’t more of them.

Tired of bad news? How about good news served daily at Gimundo? It’s better than reading about another murder-suicide or car accident.

If you like black olives like I do, this simple recipes for hors d’oeuvres will be right up your alley. I’m making these today for our Christmas Eve celebration at my parents’ tonight. I also made these sweet potatoes which are super yummy. Even if you normally don’t care for sweet potatoes (like me), I promise you will like this dish. Unless you don’t like sugar and butter, and if so, I weep for your soul.

FYI – moving forward I will be responding to most comments within the comments section itself instead of via e-mail. Therefore I have added an option to subscribe to comments so you know when I’ve replied. I figured perhaps this would encourage more discussion on the site. I’m by no means a comment whore but things are super quiet lately and I’m thinking perhaps new visitors are turned off and assume I ignore comments since they don’t see a response. In any case, we’ll see how it goes.

It’s that time of the year again. Well, actually it’s earlier this year, but in any case, it’s that time when people far and wide bitch and moan about the whole hour (*rolls eyes*) they lost thanks to Daylight Saving Time. Well suck it up, bitches, because I love it! LOVE IT! I have been waiting for this in anticipation. I’m more than willing to give up an hour of my day to have more sunshine when I get off work. And can I say how glad I am that DST has been permanently extended by three weeks? I am in my glory! Hell, I even changed the alarm clock this morning so we’re not running behind tomorrow.

Bring on the sunshine! Woo-hoo!

Salmonella in peanut butter? I had no idea that was even possible. But I guess it is, so if you have a jar of Peter Pan or Great Value peanut butter in your pantry, you might want to check the lid to see if it’s part of a recall. Surprisingly, we did have an unopened jar of Peter Pan that’s been recalled, so we’ll be taking it back to Super Target this weekend for a refund.

You know we’re living in a different world than our parents grew up in when a celebrity male denies rumors that he is straight. I must say, I never got the “gay vibe” from Mr. Harris which is a testament to just how good of an actor he is playing Barney the womanizer on How I Met Your Mother.
