And the snozzberries taste like snozzberries!
This is the wall of M&Ms in M&M World, Vegas. There is little that makes me happier than those candy covered chocolates! Hey, Deb... do you mind if I post a pic of your backside on the web? ;)
What the?!?
Inevitable! You just can't escape the golden arches...
Look Ma, no hands!
Deb and I sat on the edge of a cliff to get a better view. Ma had a motherly hissy fit at the thought of me falling. Then she decided she would just let me lay on the canyon floor since I was so rash as to sit so close to the edge. Thanks, Ma ;) Oh yeah, I'm the orthopedic-looking deals on the left.
The ranger called it "The Big Crack"
Grand Canyon pics!! I like this one through the trees. The sun was just starting to set, and the colors were changing by the minute. Gorgeous!
A rose by any other name...
So what's with the blog name? Well, if I were any animal, I would be a magpie: easily distracted, constantly "collecting" random crap, and if it's sparkly... forget it, I've lost all track of what I was originally doing.
I did spend an inordinate amount of time trying to name this puppy. More time than I can usually concentrate on one task, but this is an important, life-altering decision! The wrong name would result in Blog-Chaos! Anarchy! Utter Messiness!! Originally, I was going to use one of those name formulas that we had so much fun with in High School to come up with a name... but those seemed too hard to remember, and my Porn Star name turned out to be entirely dirtier than I was willing to be stuck with.
So I tried to think of phrases I say alot, but "Bite me" was neither original nor available :D Other than that, I apparently have no regular sayings.
Sooo... I started to think about the kind of person I am: crafty (I can make stuff), a reader (I've either read it or I want to), a traveler (I've either been there, or I want to go), a collector (patches, playing cards, postcards, etc), curious, messy to the point of disaster, and irritatingly short on attention. And I have on occasion referred to myself as being "like a magpie" as I'm being distracted by a sparkly fun thing. Lo and behold, I had stumbled upon my blog name.
And my porn star name? "Muffin Burns". Bwaahahahaaa!!!
