Silent Star Wars

Too funny to not share...

Friday Funny

I think an easy dinner one of my favorite comfort foods, spaghetti, and some quiet knitting time may be the best way to end this busy, hot, and emotionally draining week...

Embrace Life

I know I have been posting a lot of videos lately, but this one is a pretty cool British commercial from the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership encouraging people to wear their seatbelt. Enjoy!

Furry Favorites

I got a new cell phone in the mail today, so I'm clearing pictures off of my old phone. Here are a bunch of my favorites of pets past and present...

My hammie, R.B. "Arby" Hayes

HistoryDiva's guinea pig, Neville (her old picture ID)

Ralph and Booger watching me eat (picture ID for the parents)

Bum Ralph (picture ID for Dad's cell)

Booger, the contortionist dog (picture ID for Sarah)

Layla and her beloved squeaky ball (picture ID for Mary)

Garfield as a baby hammie

Bad Romance

I brought this video up at book club, so I thought I should post it... it's fantastically funny, and these young men are so talented! They're from the University of Oregon's premiere all male a cappella ensemble, On the Rocks.

Hopefully Dave doesn't hear this any time soon because of his brand new car...

Stress-Fighting Foods

As my friends and family know, I do not handle stress well. Recently I've been trying to take a more natural approach to fighting stress by researching "stress-fighting foods" online and trying to incorporate them into my diet. My favorite so far has been spinach--lots of spinach salads, a pretty good spinach and chicken recipe, and the omelette below with spinach, red pepper, and bacon bits.


Other good stress-fighting foods include:

• pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds
• kiwi, cranberries, plantains, blueberries, citrus fruits
• raisins, figs
  
• chamomile tea
• dark chocolate
• skim milk
• oatmeal
• salmon
• walnuts, almonds
• yogurt
• broccoli
• garlic
