Ten on Tuesday

I'm totally stealing this idea from some other bloggers. Ten on Tuesday is essentially ten random things that I want to share.

1. Do you love NPR? I do. Do you ever listen to This American Life? I didn't, until one of my intern trainings at DBH incorporated this podcast about two families whose babies were switched at birth. Even though most people won't be interested in what we did with it, it's a very interesting story. Go here and you can read the synopsis or buy the podcast.

2. I finally updated the list of websites that I love over there on the right sidebar. Check them out! I've got several blogs on there that I look at regularly, some of people I know and love and others of people I don't know personally but love anyway.

3. I had been concerned about what would happen when Rebecca's Spidergirl costume wore out. After all, it was made of the highest quality....uh, nylon and plastic. Guess what I found at the ghetto Walmart in a bin of Halloween costumes that were 75% off? Yep! Another Spidergirl costume! Better yet, it didn't scan up at 75% off, so the cashier gave it to me for $1.75. That's actually like 90% off.

4. If you love the Pioneer Woman, then you'll be excited to know that Bobby Flay showed up at her Lodge for a Thanksgiving Throwdown! It airs on Food Network tomorrow night at 9:00 (8:00 Central time).

5. I have an obsession with Etsy. I can spend hours lost on that site, looking at everything from jewelry to bags to girls' dresses. If you have a good afternoon to waste, just go on over there. I dare ya.

6. Most people know that I'm just about as liberal as they come with respect to politics (even though personally I'm actually quite conservative). Even so, I rushed home from Target last Tuesday to watch George W. Bush on Oprah, and I enjoyed it. I even liked him. Yikes!

7. I've even got his book on my list of downloads to my iPad, though I haven't been brave enough to actually purchase it yet. Nonetheless, I still don't like his politics. And I'm still completely liberal.

8. Rebecca doesn't like to write the letter "B." She says it is too hard, so she isn't going to do it. Wonder what percentage of words that eliminates?

9. I have 12 unopened rolls of Christmas wrapping paper in the garage. And I have a really strong desire to buy more, but I'm forcing myself not to.

10. I have not yet had a single piece of pumpkin pie this fall. Must.fix.this.immediately!
