Has anyone ever stopped to look at the amazing assortment of gadgets available to put on your blog? I spent way too much time looking at all of these, only to discover that most are completely useless...and kind of creepy. Between Donald Trump Quote of the Day and Beautiful Sunset Pictures, I got a little giggly. Because the things that truly amuse people are kind of scary. For instance, this is the description of, I'm not kidding, Adorable Babies. "The most adorable babies! A beautiful rotating slide show of 10 random baby photos at a time."
Can you say, 'creepy?' Seriously! Who does that! I mean, babies are cute and all, but aren't they the cutest when you, say, actually know the parents of these babies? You know they are weird pictures, like the ones where Baby has a Christmas Bow on her bottom, or is dressed up as some sort of fruit or vegetable. Sweet, when you, again, have some sort of relationship to said baby. But when it's some stranger's baby? I'm not so sure.
The example picture shows a darling, naked infant with a tag saying, "From God." How sweet. How frightening.
You know, these kids are totally gonna hate their parents for this someday. It's totally creepy.

The Birthday Blog
Thursday was my 18th birthday...yay! Here is a collection of my thoughts on the last couple of days. Warning: Birthday Beth(Hereafter referred to as BB) is even more impossibly shallow than average, everyday Beth. Just so you know.
Birthday Thought #1, dated last Sunday) BB: Hmm. My birthday is on Thursday. I'd better start milking it for all it's worth..."Joel, will you get me a soda? . . . It's my birthday."
Birthday Thought #2, a couple days before B-day) BB: I wonder how long I can make my special birthday privileges last. The day after? A couple days?
Mom: Beth, I'm so sorry, but we're going to be pretty busy on your birthday...we'll have to spread out the celebration. I'm sorry!
BB: It's fine, mom. It's just a birthday. (secretly, in her head,) Yup, looks like I just secured at LEAST a couple extra days of birthday spoiling. Awesome!
Birthday Thought #3, B-day) BB: It's my birthday. That means I get to do whatever I want, right? Cool!
Birthday Thought #4, Day after B-day) BB: You know, I should try to be less shallow...because seriously, I'm a brat...
Not like that's ever stopped me before...
Birthday Thought #5, today) BB: 362 days till my birthday!
