Random Tuesday Thoughts- My First One!

So I'm participating in my first Random Tuesday Thoughts. It may also be my only Random Tuesday Thoughts, but we'll see.

I watched the Oscars this weekend, mainly because I felt as though I needed to make up for missing the other award shows. I gotta say, I was not impressed. First of all, I just don't get what the big deal is with James Franco. Where's the appeal? I don't think he's cute or entertaining. I vote to bring back Hugh Jackman! And speaking of which, I've never really been a fan of Anne Hathaway, but that poor girl pretty much carried the hosting responsibilities. I loved her "tribute" to Hugh Jackman! And felt sorry for her when her nervous "geekiness" peeked through. I also think Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law would be great hosts!

In related news, am I the only one left who still asks, "What the hell is this Twitter thing?" Seriously. I still don't get it. Obviously, I'm not signed up for it or know anything about it. But I'm in no hurry to make the choice to learn more about it. Maybe that's because everyone is doing it and talking about it. I'm sure that if I checked it out, I would get it, but not happening. I also think that it was rather rude of James Franco to be Tweeting while hosting the Oscars.

I just found out yesterday that our Girl Scout cookies are in! We ordered the Samoas and Tagalongs, but I'm sure that I'm not going to see a single one. Daddio ordered them from a coworker who will be delivering them to work, which is where I'm sure they will stay. I was surprised to find out that Girl Scouts now earn prizes for selling cookies! It's one of those "If you sell this many... you win this!" deals. When did this happen? What happened to selling cookies as a way of building self-esteem and confidence and working your skills to earn a badge? When I was a Girl Scout, that's the only thing we "won." Unless you sold the most. Then I think you won a special prize, but that's it. Not impressed Girl Scouts.

 Checked the weather report this morning and guess what? More snow. Spring can't come soon enough! I cannot wait to bust out the stroller and start walking to the library, or take the boys to the playground. Okay, truth be told, I'm not the one who usually brings them to the playground, Daddio is. He's so much better at running around and entertaining them there than I am. But I would still like to have the option and possibility of doing it. Go away snow.

 I'm hating on Barney right now. Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother, (played by Neil Patrick Harris for those of you now in the know), not the purple dinosaur, although I can't stand him either. How could he just walk away from Nora like that last night? I think that it was totally sweet, and human of him to finally have some normal feelings for a woman, and I get where it might scare him off, but come on! She's gorgeous, has a great accent, and super cute clothing! What more could he possible want? Get your shit together, Barney! It's time to end your playboy ways.

 I have another secret blog that no one else knows about, or at least none of you do. It's mainly fashion/style related, but by no means do I consider myself a fashionista, or a professional of any kind in that department. It's pretty difficult to acquire an up-to-date and fashionable wardrobe when you are unemployed and penniless. It's really more of a place for me to discuss the things that I wish I could own, or how I wish I could look, and dress vicariously through others' wardrobes, but feel free to check it out nonetheless.
