DYRDEK?

Do you really do everything kind?

This is my motto at the moment.


Think about it. Do I really do everything kind? Or is it because I'm infatuated with every Rob Drydek show on MTV right now? (I'm leaning towards option #2 on this one.) 


I find it funny that the show, Rob and Big, has been on the air since 2006 and I just now discovered the hilarity of Robert Stanley Dyrdek and Christopher Boykin?  I'm all about Black Lavender and Bobby Light/The Chunky Boys right now.


Unfortunately I'm about six years too late to discuss this show with anybody else. I want to talk to my friends about the mini horse and the younger Drama days but it just doesn't make sense to bring it up now. It shows on MTV2 at 1:00 a.m so we're not talking about prime-time television anymore. 


On another subject, I can't believe Thanksgiving's already next week and I have yet to find the perfect recipe for dessert. 


My side of the family decided to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday night because we'll officially be in Disneyland next week! It's a quick trip with a bunch of fun cousins so I'm looking forward to eating, riding rides and crying during the firework spectacular show. I don't know what it is but Tinkerbell flying through the air just tugs on my heart strings every single time.


This year my job is to make one side dish, Candied Yams, and a dessert. 


I asked my husband, a.k.a. The Caramel Lover, if I should make a Tiramisu or a Caramel Pecan Pie and immediately regretted asking. That's like me asking him if we should watch Steel Magnolias or Abraham Lincoln The Vampire Slayer on a Friday night? It's a major duh.
