Friday bits and pieces

I am so ready for this spring weather. It's pushing 60 outside today, and my insides are dying of happiness. I feel like I've been in a dazed coma for the past couple of months and I'm finally waking up at the first sign of decent weather. I could SO skip somewhere right now.

I've been keeping busy following the crazed Ultimate Blogger competition. I wish that everyone had all the dirty insider info I have, because I have no one to dish to other than the one contestant who is my source for insider info. My subconscious is so upset about this that it's giving me very detailed dreams involving the dynamics of the game, including appearances by lots of people I've never actually met.

My mom mentioned something on the phone to me last weekend about how Jewish people sweep to the middle of the floor. Apparently she read or heard somewhere that people of Jewish descent sweep piles of debris towards the middle of a room, while others sweep towards the door or trashcan. There was much discussion about What Does That Mean and I never quite got the source of this whole thing. But she claims that despite the weirdness of it, she noticed she (Jewish) does sweep towards the middle of the room while my dad and the house cleaners (non-Jewish) don't. She insisted I try it out on J, and we reached the same conclusion. Of course, this whole thing is so outrageously ludicrous that I had to find another sample. You know what's fun? Going to your friend's house and saying, "Here, sweep up this room; I want to see something." Anyway, Krista apparently is Jewish at heart, as she also moves the broom centerwise. We instructed her how to do it otherwise if the Nazi's ever came by.

I was reading about Disney's Pop Century Resort over on Slashfood, and I don't know what's wrong with me, but this fluffernutter sandwich looks delicious to me.

It's like Dr. Seuss himself cooked it up!
