Two Thumbs Up

If you haven't tried the fix 'n' mix frosty at Wendy's you should. (Those of you who haven't boycotted Wendy's altogether. I know, I know, I'm not happy about the price of Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers either.) Hubby and I tried them for the first time last week. Yum-my! We got them with Oreos mixed in (you can get Butterfinger or M&Ms also but we haven't tried those so I can't tell you if they're good or not. I imagine they would be though.) Why didn't we think of mixing things into frostys sooner? We had some again later in the week. And then we did something even more amazing. We bought the medium plain frostys which are the same price as the fix 'n' mix and mixed in our own Oreos! Pure genius! Except I think the medium ones are just a bit much. A small one was enough for me and now I'm a little frosty-ed out. But they're good. Just don't eat too many all at once.

I'm not really big on reality shows but I found one this summer I actually kind of like. It's called Beauty and the Geek. They get a bunch of girls who are stereotypical gorgeous babes with no brains, you know: models, nba dancers, lifesize barbies, etc. And pair them up with a bunch of your stereotypical geeky guys: all brain, no braun and definitely never been on a date before. Each couple has to go through a bunch of challenges. For the girls it's things like spelling bees and changing tires. For the guys it's learning to dance and giving massages. Each individual is dependent on their partner and the things they can teach them before the next challenge. Surprisingly this reality show actually has a moral to it. It's helping both sides of the spectrum appreciate the other side. The guys are gaining confidence around girls and in the dating sphere and realizing that just because you're attractive doesn't make you any better than anybody else. These girls still have their weaknesses and insecurities. The girls are gaining confidence in the academic sphere and realizing just because these guys aren't the kind of guys they would normally date doesn't mean they don't have a lot to give and are still worthy of love. Even more surprising is that Ashton Kutcher is the producer of the show. I'm not much of an Ashton Kutcher fan but I think he's done a good job on this show. Check it out.
