I LOVE a good salad. I could eat salads every single day. Here's what I like in order of importance:

Romaine lettuce
Tomato
Peas
Broccoli
Red/Yellow/Orange Bell Pepper
Kidney beans
Corn
Red Onion
Garbanzo Beans
Black Olives
A few sunflower seeds
a spoonful of bacon bits (yes, I like the imitation ones)
a couple shreds of cheese..not much at all
Top it off with some lo-fat honey mustard dressing and I'm a happy camper. Yum...I think I'll go to the little store up the street and get a salad for dinner. Super-yum

I do NOT want carrots (slices, shreds, whatever..I'm just not a fan of carrots..except for completely by themselves) or green olives on my salads. I will even take greek olives out of my greek salad. Blech.

another favorite salad: Walnuts, bleu cheese crumbles, green apple slices, raspberry vinagrette dressing

You forgot to list mushrooms above lettuce in the order of importance. I know it's implied, but I just thought you should know.

Yes. Mushrooms and Red Onions. I only said Onion in my original post, but as RugBug states they should be Red Onions.

Hahaa...

Gross, spongy fungii on my lovely salad? No thanks. I'll pick 'em all off and give 'em to you and Traveller.

Okay folks...I need your opinions (if you feel like offering them). I've sort of picked out my holiday dress for this year already.

I a tad worried because it's not a great color for me as a blond, however I can wear some variations of it. I actually wanted something in purple 'cause that's a great color for me, but purple is the "now" color and I hate to be too trendy. So what do you think of this:

It's very similar to last year's dress, same designer, same fabric, same length, similar cut. I'm worried that it's too similar (although I adored last year's dress). BTW...my hair really is blond...it was just pulled back and looks VERY brown in that picture

Hmm it is very similar to last years... I totally think you could rock a silver dress. Have you taken a look at any of those??

Silver is not so good on me. Gun metal grey...good. Silver...blech. I do best in jewel tones (most blues, greens, blue-based reds, fuschias, purple, etc). Two years ago I was on a grey or navy kick...there was very little in those colors in the store. Last year, they were everywhere.

The dress looks too similar to me. Might as well rewear the old one. Though I'm guessing that's a horrible offense in womanland.

Haha...very horrible offense.

I've found a few others i like...but I can't beat the price on this one..$63. I'm not going to spend $200, when I could spent 1/3 of that, similar be damned. :D

Seeing it is a different color says it is not the same dress. And it does look fine. I always thought light colors look good on blondes. But since I just grab what ever is clean out of my closet, you may want to defer to people who give more thought to their appearance.

Hmmmm...so I'm thinking you could save some money if you just get a bunch of mustard and dip the old dress in there for a while. That should stain it all yellow and it will look pretty much like the new dress, right?

You are a sad strange little man.... HUGS Zeek

the yellow will look lovely with your coloring and definitely can't beat that price. Check ebay though there are some great sellers who have some awesome new with tags stuff for good prices)
Besides , seeing as you're a blond goddess anyway the dress will be outshined by you no matter what:)

Why pay for new when you can improvise?

And hooray for work being over! It's time for weekend laziness and football!

Got to give Zeek points for imagination. But smelling like mustard while at a party probably has drawbacks.

Monday morning.... and I don't have to go to work... YAY for maternity leave ( mind you the yay for no work is offset by the searing pain and extreme difficulty moving)

ok .. ponder What is the best "bad" movie you have ever seen??
I'm going with Deep Blue Sea. I could watch that a hundred times and still enjoy it's weak plot, uneven acting, and mutant sharks:)

I don't know if I could watch it over and over but Jumper was so terrible it was somewhat entertaining.

SPOILERIFIC REVIEW OF TERRIBLE PLOT POINTS BELOW!!!

The guy discovers his powers as a young teenager. Immediately the voice over says "so I figured it was time to move on" and he ditches his Dad and entire life and goes off on his own. Not even bothering to tell anyone that he survived falling through some ice on a frozen lake. Then when he's a young adult he decides to head back home and find his childhood crush who doesn't seem to mind that he's been presumed dead for years. After about 5 minutes of catching up she agrees to fly to Paris with him. Then when they get there and check into a hotel she decides it's time to jump him. Oh yeah this all makes perfect sense. It's like the writers had only observed human behavior through a telescope and had no idea what the motivation was behind anything people do.

Zeek: Will you hate me if I say I liked Jumper? Sure, huge plot holes were abundant, but I liked the concept and the special effects. :D

I love cheesy high school movies. And musicals. Take that to the next logical progression and you have my secret shame of "horrible-movies-that-I-love-and-could-watch-over-and-over-again."

Maybe that makes my enjoyment of Jumper more explainable.

Dress decision: I will not be dipping last year's in mustard. I will be keeping new yellow and wearing it. :D I'm willful and stubborn. ;)

Won't hate you. In fact after watching it I told my brother he should netflix it for a good laugh. I mean really the one dude jumps on a dune buggy to ride 3 feet and then jump and then we just see him jump back driving a bus or something. You can already jump. What the heck do you need a dune buggy for!?!

At least the chick was hot.

"Battle of the Worlds" is the bad movie I watch over again. I am not sure if it is because Claude Rains is in it or the horrible background music. I have respect for Claude Rains. He has done some fine work, but this is over the top. Actually it works, since it goes so well with the rest of the movie. The plot has potential, but it is poorly written. The special effects are about what you would expect from a 60's European film. I think I watch it because of they way Mr. Rains bites down on his cigar and insults everybody. I get the feeling this would have been popular in Japan if they had added a monster somewhere in the story.
