This weekend's most exciting destination was Target.
1. Today's LJ garage sale item is...

Hertfordshire's favorite daughter, Posh. Mint in the box. Ready to tour without Ginger in 98!
Someone on this list needs her. Comment here or email me at DLelandWhite@aol.com and let's make a deal. And by deal I mean any offer is going to be a good one since all the greedy ebayers want 30 bucks for her and no one's biting.

2. I ate a butter burger yesterday for the first time. We saw them on TV once on this special about freaky hamburgers and have been talking about making them for almost two years. You take ground beef and cook up a burger. Then you put a slab of butter on top and let it melt into the meat. That's the only condiment you need. And I plan to now eat one annually. As in once a year. Because I think two of them in a year would make me die. I felt actual fear while taking my first bite and followed my one burger with an enormous heaping plate of salad with lemon juice for dressing.

3. After like seven or however many years of ownership, our Swiffer has disintegrated. Pad falling off, stick breaking down, grippy parts that hold the Swiffer cloths losing their grippiness. This angers me. I wanted to grow old with my Swiffer and believed I would. So I went to Target (on a Sunday morning at 10--which is a bad move and will remember now to go only right at 8 when they open--and got the new Method "Swiffer"-like thing instead. It's all eco and comes in a mulchboard box and uses cloths made of corn fiber and this other cloth that you wash when it's dirty and is way sturdier than the Swiffer ever was. So eff-u Swiffer because I'm green now.

4. Oh yeah, I forgot to say this in my Texas entries but one of my mom's ambulance guys recognized me. Not one of the EMTs who brought her to the ER. This was a guy who was her transporter back from the hospital to the nursing home when they released her. He goes, "Are you famous? I know you from somewhere." I assured him that I was not famous and then we figured out that he'd read my reviews on Movies.com. So that was weird but nice.

5. Perhaps you missed this, what with it being Labor Day and all, but my "Project Runway" recap was posted over the weekend on Advocate.com. You didn't want to do any actual work this morning anyway, so go read it even if you don't watch the show:

Being known on the internet can be awkward.

When someone recognizes me as Fag Fan Roy from the Dawn and Drew Show it's awkward.

I've been wanting one of those method swiffer things. You'll have to let me know if you like it. ;)

One of the high-dollar steakhouses (Del Frisco's? Ruth Chris?) also puts a pat of butter on their steaks. Not that I eat there on my own, but if somebody else is buying...

1. Daughter and I were watching old Spice Girl videos over the weekend. We were promted to do this after your Danity Kane video post. We were both laughing about how in our heads Posh and Victoria Beckham are two different people. Posh Spice dances...Victoria Beckham does not.

2. I swear Paula Deen has made something like this and I watched in horror and thought I heard the faint sound of my arteries hardening.

3. Do post updates...Must know the life span of Eco-friendly UnSwiffer.

4. You are all kinds of awesome.

5. Clicked through to read that this weekend and had to explain myself to the moms of my Goddaughter what and why I was reading it. It turned in a big laugh fest that ended with ADD kicking in and me forgetting what I was doing. So I will do so now... before something colorful walks by my office.

A chain in the midwest - Culver's has a combo - butterburger with cheese. crinkle cut fries & a frozen custard malt = 1,200 calories & enough saturated fat clog the arteries of a half dozen tri-athletes - it is for me a once-a-year treat when I go to teh town I grew up in to visit family

Oh no! I LOVE those! I never even gave the calorie count a 2nd thought - I guess I shouldn't have upgraded to get cheese curds instead of the french fries!!

I doubt they'd carry them in fancy-shmancy Gelson's, but in the frozen meat section of most markets there are these cute little minute/cube steaks with a pat of butter on top. I was mildly obsessed with them for a while.

We have our own version of the butter burger here in Virginia, but the butter is stuffed INSIDE the raw burger before cooking and it is de-lish.
