On Our Way To Crazy

Okay, folks. This blogging every day business is tough. Especially on the day after a holiday when all I did was go to the flea market and put up my Christmas tree. Do you want to hear about the three vintage necklaces I bought today for five dollars? Or about how I found yet another of my favorite ornaments broken when I opened the box this year? Or about how Miles likes to crawl under the tree and take a nap?

These things are not that interesting. Also not interesting – random information from Aaron’s head. But when I started whining about having to blog when my brain has literally nothing to say, this is what he gave me. So I am passing it on to you.

FIFTEEN THINGS AARON WANTS YOU TO KNOW

1. William Henry Harrison passed out hard cider on the campaign trail and then died after his first month in office.

2. Friday Night Lights (book, movie and TV versions) – all excellent.

3. Butterscotch is called that because you scorch butter to make it.

4. If you value your sanity, don’t manage bands.

5. By the time America entered WWII, the American navy was larger than all other navies in the world combined.

6. Bears eat beets.

7. Jack Daniels has seven mistresses but was never married. Allegedly that’s why it’s called Old No. 7.

8. Lou Dobbs is running for president. (Me: “That’s boring.” Aaron: “It’s current events.”)

9. Four Christmases was a funny movie.

10. In the White House, the Lincoln bedroom was never a bedroom during Lincoln’s presidency.

11. Judas Iscariot either a)hung himself, or b)bought a field and then exploded in it. Or, if you are a literalist, both.

12. The single largest jump on any radio chart belongs to Kelly Clarkson. The second? Elvis.

13. Dallas has a skyscraper that looks like a wad of cash. On purpose.

14. Aquafina is the most delicious water.

15. Coming up with fifteen random facts is more difficult than blogging every day for a month. (LIE.)
