Fun Fact

So I read this really cool article about teaching people CPR. Apparently, if you do CPR to the tune of Stayin' Alive, people remember how to do the procedure with the correct compression rate and depth (100 times per minute, 1.5 - 2 inches deep). One of the paramedics at the hospital told me that her instructor taught them to the tune of Another One Bites the Dust. I think that's unnecessarily morbid.

Someone helpfully created a video for You-Tube. Best line: "Feel the ribs a breakin, you gotta keep your faith and keep 'em alive, keep 'em alive."

Makeover!

Since I will probably never make it to What Not to Wear, I decided to do my own Christmas makeover. Well here you have it: what I look like with makeup. And a Sarah Palin wink.

(Bonus - I also learned to dance!)

"Bill" Endorses Hillary for Secretary of State

This is possibly the best "Bill Clinton" video from SNL of all time. "Bill" gives the best argument yet for why Hillary should be the next Secretary of State. Enjoy.

Sweet Sweet Sondre

I just saw Sondre Lerche at the 9:30 Club and it was sweet - except for the old lady (okay she was in her 40s) who didn't understand the concept of standing room only and told me twice how rude I was to stand in front of her. Her daughter filled her in though and was overhead to tell her that "you can't do things like that Mom." Awesome - she just got schooled! That's how I roll, uh huh.

So anyway, Sondre is sweet and funny and you should check him out.

Domesticated - The Part Where I Cook Again

Banana bread. What a wondrous creation. The secret is to bake the bananas beforehand. Can you believe I even know a baking secret, let alone two? (Readers of my previous posts will recall the shortening secret).

And viola - perfect banana bread and it only took 2 hours to make one loaf.

Off the Juice

I've been off caffeine for two days and its been awesome! I'm sure my co-workers noticed a whole new Kelli yesterday. I was mean and surly for the first several hours and tired and cranky for the last several hours. The only pleasant time was dinner where I took a moment to drink my caffeine free Dr. Pepper. Maybe as a service to humanity, I should find some coupons for Diet Coke (with lime please).

Speaking of bad days at work, check out this guy. But he handles it like a pro.
