Trying, But Not Succeeding

Lately, I've been thinking about the WONDERFUL vacation that I will be taking in a few days. I am trying to figure out how I can fit in a blog post. I usually post every week, but a week from today, I will be gone. Maybe I could post double?? Ugh, I don't know what to do. The suspense is killing me....

Anyways, have you ever noticed that on late night TV, when the announcer announces the name of the person, the host waits like 10 seconds to finally come out and start hosting? Seriously, I wish they would just hurry up and stop wasting time. I hate it when people waste time. That's why I hate naps. They waste time. And then when I take a nap I don't feel tired at night. Aren't you supposed to feel tired at night time? Yes. Do you feel tired at night time after taking a nap? No.

My Republican friends and uncles are going to hate me for this, but this Sarah Palin coverage is getting so annoying. I don't know what Alaska was thinking when they voted for her. The only good thing that came from her was getting the good laughs when Tina Fey impersonated her on Saturday Night Live.

Whatever. You'll hear from me soon. I cannot make any promises.

The Time Has Come To Celebrate.......THE 200TH BLOG POST OF YABOMANIA.BLOGSPOT.COM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!! IT'S THE 200TH POST ALREADY!!! This is weird. 199 posts ago, I started a blog. I was very excited for this new chapter in my life, and that I could share my life experiences with the world. Well, maybe not the world, but only the 8 people who read this blog.

I am soaking in every bit of this summer. It is so exciting. In honor of my loyal fans, I will give a shout out. On Sunday, I went boating with my family: Mom, Dad, Paige, Paige's friend, Al, Sarah, Josh, Matt, Megan, Jeff, Peggy, Paul, Hannah, Matthew, Their Friends, Reece, Chase, Jim, Nick, Kelsey, Jamie, Valerie, Jack, Beau, the new baby in Valerie's stomach, and Papaw.

Your Welcome.

I remember exactly what I was doing when I posted the 100th blog post. I was watching my very first FRED video. You know, the kid whose voice sounds like he's on helium. I was inspired by his creativity and sense of humor. I also talked about Michael Phelps. Well, that was before he had the bong incident. Naughty, Naughty Mr. Phelps. Michael Phelpsh alsho talksh with a lishp sho I love to make fun of the way he talksh. Poor Michael Phelpsh. He doeshn't even realizhe that I am making fun of him at thish very inshtant. Holly Hunter talksh the exact shame way on her TV shhow, Shaving Grache.

Whoo, that was fun. In other news, Conan O'Brien is having a ratings drop. Because he appeals to the younger audience, and Dave Letterman appeals to the older ones. Can the elderly people withstand Conan's strive to do outrageous things? Only time will tell.

Sorry, for going all Brian Williams from World News on ya, but I couldn't help myself. The new Harry Potter movie is good. I saw it and I liked it, I liked it a lot.

Whoo!!!! Happy 200th Yabomaniacs!

Summer Skedj

Are you kidding? It's July 14th? And its like halfway through the summer? Not cool!!! I like sleeping in. I like it a lot.

Well today I thought I'd talk about my schedule for the rest of the summer. This week is regular. Nothing on the agenda...yet. Next Dad has two days off and on one day I have a dentist appointment. Ugh. And then the other day we do not have plans. Then week three of the schedule is normal until Friday. That's when the men go up to Koz's Lodge. The things that take place in Koz's Lodge will never be spoken of on this blog. Strictly forbidden. After that, me and the family head down to Lake of the Ozarks. That will be a great, relaxing vacation. Then when we get back, Jared's baseball team has a pool party and that will be terrific-o. Then...the dreaded...Back-to-School Shopping. Which I think is stupid. Then of course we have to go back to school. (Rolling my eyes.) However, I will continue to golf through the end of July. Yay.

And now, today's topic of the day.........Popcorn. Popcorn in very unique. And that is the very first time I have ever used the word "unique" on this blog. I love popcorn. We usually by the Act III brand, but Wal-Mart didn't have that kind, so we brought this new stuff called Pop Weaver. Its...delicious. Plus it has extra butter. This may sound unhealthy, but sometimes I put extra salt on my popcorn. Its kind of like putting extra sugar on your cake. Don't judge me.

I am always banging my head against the wall when trying to decide which type of soda to have with my popcorn. I like Coca-Cola, Orange Sunkist, Strawberry Soda, Grape Soda, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, Mountain Dew: Code Red, Mountain Dew: Live Wire, Vault, and Root Beer. How can one person possibly choose out of these wonderful sodas??? I find it difficult. Well, this brings us to my new poll. Your favorite type of soda.

Color Me Gone,

Zach

P.S. Happy Taco Tuesday
