I rather feel like poor Mary at the moment. I’m in the position of having to post this very clever Downton Abbey flowchart without being able to ask permission of the source from which I borrowed it to post on my friend Connie’s Facebook wall last week… and yet I feel that I have no choice if I want everyone to think of me as witty and smart (perhaps two seasons in less then three days wasn’t such a good idea).

Most people like the placing-of-the-crown shots but I prefer the ones that capture the moment when the runner up realizes she didn’t win.
My Sunday morning wish is to hear Seth MacFarlane read the Miss America blurb printed in this morning’s Daily Camera:
“Mallory Hagan won the pageant after tap dancing to James Brown’s “Get Up Off Of That Thing” and answering a question about whether armed guards belong in grade schools by saying ‘we should not fight violence with violence'” – Boulder Daily Camera
Now for your own Sunday morning wish… you’re welcome!
I plan to have this routine down by noon.

Who doesn’t admire Iris Apfel? Her photo has been attached to this list several times.
Regina Brett’s 45 life lessons and 5 to grow on
As published in The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio, Sunday May 28, 2006. “To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written. My odometer rolls over to 50 this week, so here’s an update:”
*Note from Spice: My favorite part of this is the fact that a few years back someone changed Regina Brett’s bio tag to read her age was 90. They then attached a photo of a little old lady smoking a cigar and sent it into the webverse. People have been sending her notes congratulating her on making it to 90 ever since. Snopes.com has labeled her an official Urban Legend. Pretty cool.
Here’s the original list – it’s pretty good. I’ve seen a number of copies with “45 Lessons” in the title but only 32 lessons listed. After reading Regina’s original I discovered the ones pertaining to God are usually removed. They’re pretty important to me so I left them in for you guys to read… or not. Number 1 is my top pick for teens and number 40 is what I’d love to shout from Mount Sanitas for all of Boulder to hear. Number 25 is such an important reminder for all of us and of course number 18 is the one speaking directly to me these days…along with all of the others that don’t pertain to children.

Just discovered how easy it is to post photos and blog via the WordPress iPhone app! Seriously, this is pretty cool and the gap between my enthusiasm to blog and actually blogging has finally been bridged #luckyeveryone!
Chris is especially happy to be able to help me test this new knowledge…

You ever have one of those days where all you want to do is throw a batch of brownies in the oven, DVR Kill Bill 2 and browse youtube until it’s time to dress for dinner? Yea me too…
Vegan brownies are in the oven, Kill Bill has replaced the Olympics and here’s my latest youtube find – I’m seriously dying. The world (especially Boulder) definitely needs more Steve Kardynals!
Found one more and it’s to my current favorite song – I LOVE THIS GUY!!!
Happy Weekend!
