Ugly Cookie Contest
Every year my good friend, Selma, and I have an annual contest to see who can make the ugliest cookie. Each of us claims to win each year. There aren't any judges except us. There are two rules:
1) The cookie has to be made of edible ingredients (not that you would want to eat them); if it's in your kitchen and can be ingested, it's in.
2) There must be some sort of holiday connection.
Some of the truly tasteless cookies have been a pile of Christmas poo, Christmas trees with body parts, and a visual reinactment of Selma's surgery to remove 1/3 of her intestine due to Chrohn's Disease. Instead of the ugliest cookie, it should be called the most disgusting cookie. While we still have a blast doing it, I really can't show you the pictures this year. Pretty revolting (though funny to us).
Just wanted you Ugly Cookie fans to know the scoop!

5 Things You Don't Know About Me...Probably
There's a fun viral campaign going around with Internet marketers right now. Someone started "tagging" 5 people to share 5 things people wouldn't know about them. It's been running for a few weeks and I just got tagged. So here goes...
1) I was obsessed with the movie, Jaws. My cousin and I secretly snuck a tape recorder in the theater and memorized every single line in the film. I can still recite it today. I learned everything I could about sharks and used to know every breed.
2) I'm a certified open-water scuba diver (despite Jaws) Learned when I was 15 and have dove off wrecks, at night, and with black tip reef sharks. (The barracuda were by far more scary.)
3) I was the secret "Snooper" reporter in 7th grade. Our English teacher selected one person in the whole school to spy on fellow classmantes and write a gossip column. No one could know who it was. It was me.
4) I hate salmon. Everyone has tried to get me to like it. I've had it made every which way at the finest restaurants. Still hate it.
5) I never wore the color red until I formed Red Hot Copy. My grandmother always told me it was a bad color for me. So I avoided it. Now 50% of my clothing, shoes and handbags are red.
Now I'm tagging these 5 folks:
Alexandria Brown
Tom Antion
John Carlton
Michael Port
Alice Seba
