Flamin’ Hots and Icy Pops!
It’s the Business Fair at my daughter’s school. Everyone in her class is an entrepreneur.
Social Studies. Economics. They are covering supply and demand, salesmanship, business plans, advertising, and profits!
Everyone sells real things for real money. Then they go on a field trip. Mini fund raising and a school project. But you got to know what to sell!
Mine is doing lunch-size, hot/spicy snack chips and popsicles; the kind in the plastic tube that you cut off. Pretty genius. Give ’em something hot and then something cold. Cheap too! 50¢ and 25¢. She should turn a profit and hopefully sell out. Parents and friends are invited to shop, just like a real marketplace. I have to bring the pops though, and obviously they have to be frozen. That alone should be different enough to spark interest. And for a quarter! It can’t be beat!
PLUS, we got the weather! Today, for a few hours only…80+ degrees!! Those popsicles are going to look extra cool and refreshing!!
I know I sound like the advertising, but by the time you see this, it will be over. I mostly wanted to lead in with a good theme for today and a music list. What else? MONEY!
It’s all about the….what?$?$?
Have a snack, sit back and chill with a list for my girl:
“Money!” Cha-ching!

On Regis and Kelly. He was filling in for Regis. They have a guest host every Friday!
I know. I know. I started watching after the news and now I’m hooked. I swear I turn the tv off right after. So let’s just leave it at that and not keep going on…
I have to say. Man. NPH. So hot. Way too good looking for 9 am. Very handsome. Very sexy. I know the status. He plays for the other team. That’s fine. A lady can look.
On the show, he was doing some trashy talk and got time delayed. It’s live and it’s early and its family fare so we can’t have any of the bad words leaking out into the homes of the straights. It was funny though. He said porn. Just once. Everybody gave him the side eye and chuckled and there you go: time delay.
Then wouldn’t you know it, they call a woman who used to work for the phone company and she was telling them how they come up on caller ID and how the phone rang in her house before they dialed on the tv, accusing them of using props…and they had to fess up to the time delay for the saucy talk.
Anyway. I like him. I liked him on Doogie, even though I only watched a few times. The one episode I was lucky to see was when he kissed the girl, a girl, some girl. Unfortunately I don’t know who it was or what it was about. But what I do remember is the kiss. It was one of the best kisses I had ever seen on tv. Seriously. I tell people about it all the time. It looked so real and strong confident. Passionate, I guess. I don’t really like that word but I’m not sure what else and I had to be younger–teenage maybe…early adult…and I don’t know if I had enough vocabulary to describe it. I’m going to look it up and see if I can find it. AND post it! I see lots of other sites that put cool stuff in. I want to be cool!
UPDATE: I will not be cool, I guess. I couldn’t find any video of the show with a kiss. But I did find alot of “Best Kiss Ever” Videos. I guess there are alot. It’s prob better anyway. Don’t want to spoil my memory. I’ll just include my list…first ones that jump to mind.
Other kisses, in my opinion, that are good:
Desperado. Obvious. Salma and Antonio on the roof. I think every one says that.
Tremors. Don’t laugh. Kevin Bacon and co-star, at the end. He just swoops her into his arm so naturally its lovely.
Tin Cup. Just remembered. Kevin Costner and Rene Russo. Outside by the tree and the truck. Sexy.
Whatever. I stand by my life-long kiss choices.
So, since I stink at internet downloading or whatever…but I included a link to see NPH in the Old Spice commercial. Better than nothing.

Wednesday. The house is a zoo. A really cheap-ass zoo with no other animals except fish. (Are they considered animals? Like, zoo animals?)
We went, we saw, we bought. Fish from the store right up until closing. These are not decisions that can be made hastily.
I’ll skip the long narrative and jump to the juice. Mason has his first BasketBall Game tonight and we’re in kind of rush. Go Mustangs!!
Mason/new 3 gallon: 2 plants and 3 tiny Tiger Barbs, 3 Zebra Danios, and 1 algae eater. Sounds like alot, but looks real cute. The fish are small and the tank is bigger than it sounds.
Stevie/2.5 gallon: 1 plant, 1 asian theme sculpture, and 2 african cichlids. Adorable! Looks very cool.
She also got 2 mini neon tetras for her small fish bowl.
Their bedroom is like being underwater at night. Glowing and soothing with fishtanks on every surface. Pictures are below. Keep in mind, the camera is still broken so the pictures may not be all that great but you’ll get the idea.
This leads into today’s music. Songs about animals! All kinds of animals.
I started compiling just some real basic songs off the top of my head that had a very pronounced “animal” theme. Like, “Eye Of The Tiger“, for instance. Familiar to almost everyone. But as is the case with all addictions, one animal led to another, I got in too deep and…
(STOP)
(FAST FORWARD)
…2 days later I have to pull myself out of an 88 song animal coma.
Seriously. I started this on Wednesday. Since then my son played his basketball game (Losing by 2 points in a nail-biting-out-of-your-seat-3-seconds-left-on-the-clock finish. That gym was rocking!), we lived another whole day, everyone is sleeping and I’m up at 1 am Friday morning trying to get this out. Out of my head and off my computer. I have to stop thinking about this. OCD needs a rest.
There are hundreds of songs about every form and function of every animal you can think of. I tried to get a happy mix. I have popular and obscure included, with songs that might be good at a party. Background noise with bite. I know I missed someone’s favorite song, with a really obvious animal, so post it if you know it and I’ll modify later.
In the interest of keeping it interesting I broke the list into 4, yes, FOUR parts. I told you it was getting out of hand. The boyfriend believes that no playlist should be over 20 songs. Pick them and stick them. I say, if you’re going to do it, overdo it. I also inserted some of those fancy fish tank pictures I was talking about earlier. Keep it FUN!
I put them in a specific order for myself, one animal kind of blending into another…but feel free to mix them up, pick and choose, shuffle around, like walking thru the zoo. Everyone goes around their own way. So get going!
