Help please.

Sometimes I forget I have a blog.

I'm serious. I get caught up in other, less-important activities like laundry, grocery shopping, and eating, and suddenly I think "oh crap! I started a blog six months ago!" and then I try to think of something really funny to write about.

Which brings me to now. Does anyone have anything funny they'd like me to write about? What about the way I keep ending sentence in prepositions? Anything on that there?

I think it would be super-awesome-amazing-cool if everyone posted a general topic in the comments section of something I could potentially write about. I mean it. Giraffes, chicken pox, Beyoncé . . . you name it! Because I am looking for inspiration. And -- you inspire me.

In the meantime, I'm gonna saddle-up on the 'ol comedy high horse and act like a television reviewer. What did you think of the Saturday Night Live premiere? My future best friend Tina Fey was wonderful, as always, and overall I enjoyed the episode. Here are some highlights and lowlights:

1. Highlight: Keenan Thompson yelling at the new cast members in the game-show sketch "New Cast Member or Member of Arcade Fire?" Great delivery. Also, that sketch had a strong ending: rare.

2. Highlight: Drunk Uncle.

I usually get sick of characters who are on Weekend Update all the time, but for some reason Drunk Uncle makes me laugh every time. 

3. Highlight: The taxodermy sketch. I mean it was clearly stupid, but in a way I appreciated.

4. Lowlight: The ex-porn star sketch. I'm over it; anyone else? I think Vanessa Bayer and Cecily Strong are funny, but it's too similar every time. And it's long. Why so long??

So yes. Overall good. Next week is host/musical guess Miley Cyrus . . . I am just hoping she performs that song "Wrecking Ball" and licks a sledge hammer a bunch of times. You?

And of course I would weigh-in on the much-discussed series finale of Breaking Bad, but the thing is I only watched the first season like five years ago so I'm a little behind. Don't tell me what happens though. I'm assuming Walt changes his ways and goes back to teaching and ends up winning Teacher of the Year and writing inspiring children's books. That seems like where it was heading.



Comment with some topic ideas, please!  Right down there.

Sunshine and Lollipops

HAPPY MONDAY!

Just kidding I would never write that earnestly.

This Monday was actually off to kind of a bad start. I realized I left a library book on an airplane yesterday. That's right, a library book. I read those because I am from 1970. And now it is probably lost forever and I don't know what to do. The librarian is going to be so mad at me, you guys.

Second, I am a bit fatigued after spending this weekend at a college-friend's wedding. It was really fun, but somewhere along the way I got confused and thought I was actually in college. At one point Taylor Swift's song "22" came on, and I was like "Yeah! I AM feeling 22!" and I actually said that, out loud, to people I respect. That's the kind of night it was.

The next day I woke up and my body was like "I hate you" and I was like "No, I hate you" and now here we are: Monday.

At this point you are rightfully wondering why, after that litany of misfortune, I would choose the title "Sunshine and Lollipops." Well guess what? Everything is better because I WON A CONTEST today! I never win things. I know people always say that, but I also am saying it.

I entered a giveaway on my favorite blog and I won! I get a special cookbook that one day will prevent me from sending my child to school with a thermos full of Sunny D and a cold hot dog. 

It's a little embarrassing how excited I am. 

So, I should probably do a giveaway on this blog, too, right? It's what all the cool bloggers are doing, after all. But what would I give away? Sunny D, maybe? A stolen library book?

Suggestions welcome.
