Okay, that&#8217;s a lie, I wasn&#8217;t <b>going<\/b> to look it up, just to spite her, but the compulsive side of me could not possibly stand having a misspelling or grammatical error in my blog.  Though now that I think of it, I&#8217;m not quite sure that my comma usage in the first sentence is correct, nor whether or not some of this rambling paragraph is a run-on sentence or something.  And no, this is not an invitation to pore over this post looking for misspellings or grammatical errors.  And in any case, it&#8217;s a good thing that I looked it up, because I was definitely going to go with Rachel.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, I&#8217;m sure most of you have heard of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rachael_Ray\">Rachael Ray<\/a> &#8211; she&#8217;s quite famous.  One of her more famous shows is called &#8220;$40 a day&#8221;, with the premise being that she goes out to various cities showing how you can eat all this good stuff for only $40 a day.<\/p>\n<p>She first became dead to me when she continued buying various (non-food) things throughout her day and not counting them in her $40 total.  For instance one episode she bought a book about something at some local bookstore and did not include it in her $40 to spend.  Now, I understand the premise of the show, but still, this bothered me.<\/p>\n<p>But that did not top the shenanigans that were pulled in the episode I saw yesterday.  Oh no, not even close.  Though to be technical, it was more Carolyn that was watching it &#8211; I was playing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.civfanatics.com\/\">Civ<\/a> and due to our immense Christmas tree being in the way, it has become harder to multi-task in that regard.  Which is another reason why this bad boy is coming down Tuesday if not Monday afternoon, though that is worthy of being its own entire subject&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, she is in New York for this episode, and not only does she only eat 2 meals: &#8220;brunch&#8221; and dinner, in between those she goes ice skating in Central Park.  So far, not that bad &#8211; you can go with 2 meals I guess.  But then, she meets her (real-life) husband skating and he says something to the effect of &#8220;let me treat you to some hot cocoa.&#8221;  And she gets hot cocoa for free, not counted in her $40 total.  What the heck?!  I can just see them planning this episode beforehand and they&#8217;re like &#8220;Hmmm New York is kind of expensive&#8230; how can we do this?  I know, we&#8217;ll skip one meal and then have someone just buy her cocoa!  Brilliant!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I do understand that this bothers me far more than it should, but at least I&#8217;m not the loser that is reading someone else&#8217;s blog about it \ud83d\ude42  And plus, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Giada_de_Laurentiis\">Giada De Laurenitis<\/a> is hotter, and she doesn&#8217;t <a href=\"http:\/\/smokingsides.com\/asfs\/R\/Ray.html\">smoke<\/a> either (I think)! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are, in fact, so dead to me that I will not even look up to see if your name is spelled Rachael or Rachel or some other less familiar version.
