I skipped this for '07, and I apologize for the lackluster showing here. I've been trying to get this done for almost a week, but I kept getting sidetracked. Anyway, enjoy.
1 . Fuzzle
I spend waaaay more hours than I'd like to admit playing this game on my iPhone. Sadly, that has not improved my score much.
2. Orange Soda
For the last few months, I've been on quite the orange soda kick. Not all the time, mind you. I'm still a mostly-Pepsi drinking gal, but Orange soda is creeping up in the ranks. As pictured here, A-Treat is the best orange soda on the planet. A-Treat is a soda maker based in Allentown, Pennsylvania and they make all kinds of crazy flavors like mango & grapefruit soda. If you ever find yourself in Pennsylvania, stop in a beer distributors for a sixer of A-Treat. You won't be sorry!
3. Puppycam!
Holy crap. Ever since Hench e-mailed me this link, my officemate Heather and I have been transfixed. We have identified distinct personality traits in the puppies (Purple can be an aggressive jerk, and Blue is a mellow fellow). I can't get enough of their fat little bellies. Gawker had an insightful commentary about the puppies and their meaning. All I know is that this is way better than owning an actual puppy. There's no chance of stepping in an illicit pee whilst wearing just socks on the way through the kitchen.
4. Charlie Gibson
Charlie is my man when it comes to network news. By the time network news rolls around, we've all read/heard about any pertinent news of the day, so we're not here to learn anything really. I just like Charlie & his tagline, "I hope you had a good day."
5. Glitter
I get tasked with lots of random things at the hospital; and among them is to decorate bulletin boards. This has fostered a rather alarming penchant for spray-gluing & covering things in glitter. The housekeeping people are thrilled with this.
6. Cringe
Back before the internet made it so easy & graphically pleasing to reveal your soul; people had to write in diaries & crap. This book is a compilation of teenage diary/journal entries with present-day commentary from the authors. Genius!
7. Kings of Leon
Just nice rock & roll, man; though I do enjoy all the lore about them. The drunken fights & songwriting.

Charlie Gibson always sounds so disingenuous when he says his tag line.
Bullhonky! Charlie totally hopes I had a good day. You want disingenuous, head on over to see Brian Williams. That fucker is smarmier than Brett Favre.
I liked Charlie Gibson too. Kings of Leon are pretty cool, but I hadn't heard about the drunken fights!
(I just accidentally posted as Rachel–oops.)
I can't see the puppies when I need them the most AT WORK. BOO.
I'm a morning news girl myself, although the Halloween Today show was scary this year. Meredith's Pinochio couldn't have been any more scarier than the banshee from Darby O'Gill and the little people.
I'm a Kings fan myself (as I texted the other day) - am particularly enjoying their new video and snazzy new dos.
Oh, and the soda reminded me of Dave Chappelle's "purple drink" skit. It's not grape, it's "Purple Drink!"
"Red Drink" is the bomb.
I was just wondering out loud in my vehicle, "What is Charlie Gibson doing these days...?"
And I'm totally picturing you in just socks stepping in Umapee. I step in Shortiepee almost everyday now. Boo.
Hey Leslie, wikipedia "purple drank." Very interesting....
Holy Crap.
