Since I don't want my sister-in-law to consider me a "pinecone" for the rest of my life, I'll respond to her "Lucky Seven" tag. (For those of you who don't understand why being known as a pinecone is a serious matter, let me explain. Growing up, when someone was acting really grouchy or crabby, we would refer to that person as having a pinecone. Like, "Gosh, what is wrong with you today? Why do you have such a pinecone?" Or "Stop being such a pinecone!" It really is a useful little term).
Ahem...

7 Celebrities I Admire Most:
Um, if you've read my blog in the past you'll know that I don't have much admiration for celebrities. This is why:

5. "I make Jessica Simpson look like a rock scientist." - Tara Reid
6. "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean, I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff." - Mariah Carey
7. "Is the world flat? I never thought about it." - Sherri Shepherd

Where do you find all these crazy quotes? I love your take on celebrities.
I have the same question -- Where the heck do you find this stuff!!? I love it. Also, I can totally hear you saying "Pinch your little cheeks," that is definitely a Bonnie-ism. And I am super impressed with the giving yourself your own shots bit. It took me 20 mins to work up the courage to do ONE shot once.
Love the quotes. Notice how all my celebrities were dead? So true.
We had a similar saying about pinecones growing up, with a "small" variation. It was "why do you have such a pine cone up your butt?" Snicker, snicker...
Yes, Bonnie, you CAN make rolls. It's been years since I have had the pleasure of eating any of them, but I still fantasize about them in weak moments. In fact, I refuse to try to learn how to make rolls (especially the cinnamon variety) because they'll never be as good as yours.
PS, the above paragraph wasn't a plea for cinnamon rolls next time you're in town... really. It wasn't... I promise... seriously... LOL!
