It's November!!! It's National Novel Writing Month, and the beginning of NaNoWriMo!! Or, write a 50,000 word novel in a month event. And this year, I'm participating! Writing a novel has always been on my bucket list, but in the back of my mind I had a sneaking suspicion it would never get done. Novels seem difficult to write, and really time consuming. I mean, do I have enough vocabulary words? Do I have enough time? What about a plot and all those run-on sentences? It's not going to be perfect, what will people think?!?!
Silly fears. Screw it, I'm doing it. Besides, who spits out perfection in the first try? I mean, the first time babies take a step, it usually looks funny and then they fall down. But eventually, everyone masters coordinated walking. Well, mostly everyone (rubs knee that just banged into door-frame)...
I met Bobbi! Bobbi of Bobbi's hummus which is delicious, all natural, and gluten-free. I first fell in love with her Black Bean Dip that my roommate Liz brought home. Like so many other food products, I never really think about who was behind them or what the name on the label means. I just yesterday made the connection between Paula and Jimmy Dean. They're married, right?! Should research that....
Right, back to the point. So Bobbie is a really nice old lady. She said everyone thought she was crazy for peeling so much garlic for all her hummus back in the '70s but that now business is really growing. Clearly she loves what she does and I respect that.
And this is her giving me free hummus.
(Nope, not getting paid for this recommendation. I just thought it was super cool to meet the lady on my label and that she was nice and gave me free stuff was endearing.)
I love Liz Lemon. Slash Tina Fey. Just because! Blerg!
Comedian Rob Delaney is suing Kim Kardashian. And E!. And Ryan Secreast. And Comcast. By now, most know (and don't care) that Kim K's marriage to Kris Humpries lasted 72 days. After getting paid to be in the wedding ceremony and accepting thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of dollars in donations via catering and dresses and whatnot, Delaney is calling out the wedding for being a sham.
Instead of fighting for monetary rewards, Delaney simply wants Kim and Kris to actually try. Try to be married. Try to get through the rough stuff that every marriage encounters. Just try to allow the relationship to be real and imperfect.
While I know little about his legal stance, good for you Delaney. Address the issue that marriage is hard and not all rainbows and butterflies. Let people know that struggling is normal and that not everything in life is as easy as pulling out a credit card and clicking on a link. Again, good for you. I can't wait to see what happens.
YAY! I love Bobbi & her hummus!
