Do not eat red Jelly Belly jellybeans
Origin: First semester of college up in Idaho. I had a real hankering for Jelly Belly jellybeans. Praise jesus for Florence's Candy shop. It seemed to be the only place that sold those chewy delicious beans. I walked back to my dorm room to feast upon my prize. I stumbled upon a bright red Jelly Belly jellybean. It was a solid red. Like a fool, I expected it to be a cherry, or apple at least. The second I bit down on that sucker, without warning, my mouth was shot with the spicey disappointing sting of cinnamon! CINNAMON! The picture indicating which flavor the Jelly Belly jellybeans belonged to each bean clearly states that the cinnamon Jelly Belly jellybeans have yellow speckles on them! Did this Jelly Belly jellybean have any yellow speckles? I think not! My tongue is on fire because of this stupid speckless red Jelly Belly jellybean!
Thus: I've decided it's best to just steer clear of red Jelly Belly jellybeans all together.

The Many Adventures of Me and My "Daughter"
Quotes of the evening:
"What would Meryl Streep do?"
"She made explosive lasagna!"
We're baking cookies and are thinking about splurging by having more than one cookie="breaking the law":
Daughter: "Meryl Streep wouldn't break the law.."
Me: "Nahh, it's okay to break the law--"
[while setting the last cookie on the tray, it crashes]
Daughter: "--I don't want to break the law!"
"Pshh my car never runs out of gas while it's running--"
Red light. It rumbles. It stopped running.
"Time flies when you're learning how to speak in a french accent"
Large amounts of fun choreographing a snippet of a Mama Mia song for my daughter...1&2&3&4&5&6&7&8!.....I'm really good at counting to eight.
"fELlow,
felloW,
fELlow,
felLOw,
fELlow
felLOW,
fELlow!"
"I hate this word!!"
Good times.

In the Meantime...
FACEBOOK 101
This journey will be indeed a treacherous one. I am going to be assisting my mom in her education of facebook. Others have helped her through most of it, but I feel I might become the main source of help soon. What kind of a daughter would I be if I refused the responsibility of helping my mother journey through the facebooking world?
In accordance with accepting this task, it is true I have given serious thought to what this will entail of me to do, and I have chosen to move forward. It will indeed be challenging and no, I haven't gone mad. I will now be documenting the progress.
Lessons that I walked the subject through were the following:
How to find your notifications of tagged pictures of you, who "liked" your photos/wall posts/comments, who posted something on your wall, etc...
---> subject grasped this one without difficulty
How to comment on a commented picture.
---> subject was hesitant at first before clicking "comment" after her final remarks, but I'm sure after she posts a few more comments, the submitting of a comment will come with more surety.

The Time Has Come!
It's time to expand on my laws of life! My goal has been reached! Woo!
To who ever is reading this, I posted a "Laws of Life" blog on February 15th 2010. I did not want to explain how I came to the conclusion of each law until I reached twenty or so (ten didn't seem like enough, and thirty feels like too much). If I sprout a wild hair I might expand to twenty-five, because I think it's a nice number.
BUT I think to make this blog ish thing seem more "complete," Imma wait until the fifteenth this month! Why not? It'll feel so beautiful.
Until then!
