I’m packing to go back to NYC and it’s roughly somewhere between three and four hundred degrees in my parents’ house. My shoes are getting scrambled and my clothes are lightly sauteed, which is how I like them.
Here are some words about me and the audio from my radio appearance on Bill Clevlen’s show last night.
I agreed to take Bill’s “Clevlen Quiz” on the air tonight. You can listen at AM 550 KTRS at 6:40 PST tonight or watch live at Billstrivianight.com
Excellent work! I’ll be seeing some of these band members tonight!
During last night’s live show, which was super duper awesome, my mom and dad and Tobey and I were on screen and my dad (I think it was my dad?) made a comment about how we looked like a Christmas card and so I suggested we all pose. Guess Tobey had better things to do? He’s a diva, that one. Anyway, Ted made this card which is pretty great. Thought you might enjoy it.
Tonight’s Ustream show will be a holiday spectacular featuring assorted family members, Christmas trivia, a brief phone run-down with Dustin about the ugly sweater party, a glimpse of the Rosen family tree (the xmas tree, not the family tree, though I’m open to getting genealogical on your asses) and surprises out the wazoo. Only some kind of fool would miss out on this. RSVP here, won’t you?
In other news I have oodles of photos to post, many of them I’ve been posting on twitter.
You guys, the super awesome Joe just set the bar extremely high by making this adorable video which had me laughing out loud. Out loud, I say!
As you all know, there was a disastrous attempt to make Christmas mice cookies. Well I’m now in California, where the air is thankfully not thick with the shame of floppy cookies, and so I’m thinking I’ll attempt the starchy rodents once more for a party I’m attending on Sunday.
At least, that’s what I was thinking and then I started poking around the internet looking for a good recipe and shit howdy, the world of Christmas mice is complicated and multilayered and it’s possible I’ve stumbled on some kind of secret society. I mean, first of all, there’s a fundamental divide in the world of Christmas mice because there are the cookie mice but then there are these candy-cookie-mice things.
They’re made with a chocolate dipped cherry and a chocolate kiss. Should I go this route?
Here’s the alternative, or something a little closer to it: (more…)
I have important announcements.
Tonight is my Ustream show. Please tune in because it’s going to be the most fun EVER. Seriously. Like more fun than whatever else you were thinking of doing. There’s going to be a trivia portion. For real. TRIVIA! And quite possibly an appearance from Dustin who will be drunk and wearing an ugly sweater, having just come from an ugly sweater party. That’s not a definite though. RSVP for that hot action here.
And January 7th I’ll be on Red Eye. No need to RSVP. Just watch.
In other news I’m feeling a little less than breezy and delightful of late and I’m not sure what the hell that is about. Is it the time of year? The short days? I just don’t know. Perhaps it’s the lack of proximity to puppies in my life. I need to let more puppies into my heart. And fewer cookies into my pants.
Granted I don’t just put the cookies straight into my pants. I first put them in a plastic bag and then in my pants. And also I line the tops of my jeans with muffin tops. I’m very literal that way.
Tomorrow I fly to California again. Wasn’t I just there? Pretty much, yes.
There are loads of photos that have been sitting on my phone or computer that I’ve been meaning to put on this blog and I think the time is now.
Here’s my mom and Tobey from when I was in California for Thanksgiving. Isn’t he cute? There is only one answer.
Here’s the beach. Isn’t it beachy? There is only one answer. (more…)
Cookie party prize winners (L to R: Natali, honorable mention for her snickerdoodles; Jill, best looking for her ice cream cookie sandwiches; Seven, most creative for her cookie hamburgers; Ann, best tasting for her peanut butter cookies; me, tackiest for my sugar cookie disasters)
Over the weekend I won another award. I swear to God you guys, the accolades are coming fast and furious which is just the risk you take when you’re extraordinarily gifted, I suppose. (more…)
