The Concept of Family?

Funny what families do and say to each other isn't it? Why is it that family members are so much more presentable to others and to their own families they tend to me judgemental, gossipy and hateful? Hhmmm...

A Salad, Please. (With Lettuce)

So, Megan and I go to Subway today for lunch and procede to order a salad. A (very cute) guy takes our meat and cheese order, then slides the salad bowls over to the vegetable/side girl.



The conversation between Megan and this girl, early 20s, is as follows:

"What vegetables would you like?"

"A few Bell Peppers, please."

The girl picks up a few bell peppers and places them in the lid of the salad bowl and looks back up at Megan.

"Is that it?"

"Um, yeah. Just bell peppers."

"You don't want any lettuce?"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud! Really? No, no, no! Who eats lettuce with their salads these days?!

I give her (kinda) the benefit of the doubt and assume its been a long day, so far, and the lunch rush just left... Between Megan's order and mine she takes a few seconds to get a few sandwiches out of the toaster oven.

She finally turns to me and says, "What vegetables would you like?"

I go through my long list of vegetables...I like all/most vegetables on my salad. I forget to mention that, yes, I would like lettuce with my salad. Not really, I just wanted to see if, really, she had no doubts...or doubts...that lettuce is a part, a HUGE part, of a salad.

"Lettuce?" She askes me.



"Yes! I'd like lettuce, please...with my salad, but on the side."

If there could be only ONE ingredient on/in a salad...it would be LETTUCE!!!

Infomercials

I was at Grandpa's last night, enjoying our Saturday ritual of watching Larry's Country Diner on RFDTV and this infomercial comes on!



I have to admit, the acting is so funny. The acting totally crackers me up - do people think this is where to start/launch ones career? This is my "favorite" infomerical to-date.

Do people randomly stare into the sun with their HD sunglasses on? I know I do!! (But not really.)

Shopping Lists

So this morning I walk into Mom and Dad's dining room to find Claire and Jace sitting at the table making shopping lists.



I ask Claire to read me her list and she says her list contains:

1. Diapers
2. Wipies
3. 3 Packages of noodles
4. Spaghetti-O's
5. Milk
6. Pasta and sauce, and
7. 2 Coconuts

Then I ask Jace to read me his list. After studying it for a moment he says:

"I just need worms for my fishing pole."

"That's it?" I say.

He studies his list again, looking it up and down and he says,

"Yep, just worms for my fishing pole."

Guys and gals are ssooooooo different and the shopping lists of two 4-years old totally show it! Tehehe!

Are You Having a Holly, Jolly Christmas?

Sometimes I feel like a nut... Sometimes I don't!

Oh boy, what a rollercoaster of emotions!

Ups and downs...

Overall, a wonderful Christmas with the family!

Dear Breakfast,

Thank you ever so much, Mr. Bacon, for being ever so scrumptious and keeping the grease "pops" to a minimum.

Thank you cinnimon bun for being exceptionally delicioso!

Thank you Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit for being, simply, "Okay."

Thank you O.J. for just being Y-O-U! You ARE the bomb-diggity for shizzle!

Yours Truely,
Me <3

Reasons To Become A Hermit...

Reason #1: As a whole, I really do not like people. Now, on a case by case basis, it may time some time to become accustomed to your presence.

Reason #2: When virus' hit, I'm speaking mainly of the virus' involving the stomach, it will hit those who come into physical contact with others.

Reason #3: Some people can be really, really cruel; to those they don't know and to those they do know.

Reason #4: I do not like "middle men." I really do not like those people who insist on following this big filter system. (Except the church's policy - they/we are the only ones who seem to take full advantage of it and make it work to communicate with us little folks here at the bottom.)

Reason #5: I do not like people who complain about consequences for their choices. For example, if you drink alcohol and get a hangover the next morning, knowing that a hangover is a side effect of indulging in alcohol, I really don't want to hear you complaining and crying. You drank it, you deal with it!
