When the original new-thing-a-dayer, Jen, was wrapping up her year-long blog-riffic adventure she did some really impressive/intimidating/wonderful things. She's very clearly a gal with a plan and the means and motivation to make things happen. I admire that. She took a boxing class, she did stand-up comedy, she did ballet with a proper tutu, she rode around in a limo eating candy, she organized her own musical! Well, with me - you really get none of those things. Sorry about that. What you *do* get is this - tonight I attempted to eat an entire box of Jello Instant Pudding. I failed. I ate about 85% of it - right out of the bowl I prepared it in and using a large wooden spoon. I love Jello Instant Pudding and yes, I'm fully aware that it's not vegetarian, so please don't tell me that in an attempt to harsh my buzz. I have never "allowed" myself to consume the entire bowl and I was shocked a little [okay, a lot] dismayed that I couldn't manage to achieve this very key milestone.
It was quite simply - an ideal day to both make and eat large quantities of pudding. A perfect storm if you will. Today was my last day @ work before holiday. Joseph is out looking @ rubbish [not just a fun hobby, he gets paid to do this] so I felt okay in pigging it up [also, not that I would - but no pressure to share - as an only child I am very bad @ sharing - blame my parents please]. And TV...oh - the majesty of a perfect evening of television. It is so rare, so wonderful. Tonight's offerings included a World Series baseball game [damn you National League!], the Barack Obama informercial and some ass-kicking lineups on many of my favourite late night chat shows. So there I was - pantsless [don't you hate pants?] and happy as a clam eating my gigantic bowl of pudding. No photos for rather obvious and embarassing reasons.

Well, m'dear, I just discovered your blog, when it's all said and done. You are the same age as my daughter, she too turned 30 this year. Sounds like you had a splendid year, and I wish you a great new one. Keep on the lookout for the extraordinary.
Awww, thanks! Actually, there is one more ET to go, I've just been extraordinarily lazy in posting it.
And immediately following - I'm launching my new blog - The Unemployed Elitist! Stay tuned!
RYC: oh it's definitely not widely available...in fact, there are only a few places in the world that you can do it. TN is the closest to me.
Wow!
