I like to tease Doug when he insists on calling a business to ask questions about inventory. My theory is that when retail employees say “hold on” they stand in place, chat with a co-worker, pick the phone back up and say “we’re out.” Retail employees don’t care if you waste a trip or if […]
I used to be addicted to the health department inspection reports. I couldn’t remember the name of the streets I took to work, but I knew which restaurants to avoid. I’ve had food poisoning. I was too sick to go to the hospital. It was horrible and left a lasting impression. One year, the restaurant […]
Although, I did watch someone pour beer over rice krispies once. At work. In the workshop with the power tools and blowtorches. Just before making computer cabinets from sheet metal. With his young child a few feet away.
After we voted, we went to Ben & Jerry’s to taste the four new flavors. I think we’ll go out for ice cream after every election day. They don’t have “Coconut 7-Layer Bar” in the store yet. I don’t like coconut, so I wasn’t disappointed. I’m sure coconut people will like it though. It’s coconut […]
I added a PayPal button to my sidebar way back when “everybody was doing it” even though I know there won’t be any celebrities wandering by here looking for something to do with all that money that they can’t possibly spend. A button that would make sense would be a “cup of coffee” button. If […]
My father took Doug, Evan and I out for lunch one day last week. It was a restaurant without a drive-thru and the name of the place refers to the salad that every customer is served. I don’t know why they include this in their name, since there are only 2 in the large salad […]
After one week in a hotel, our 2-year-old now screams “fry-fry” whenever he sees a giant yellow “M” or a drive-thru window. Coming home to an empty fridge today was depressing. Not having to cook is fun, but not when your choices are limited to fast food. We did get one tasty meal in a […]
Evan has learned what happens when you stomp on your gogurt and he likes it. Note to self: Do not give Evan ketchup packets. Ever.
Amy went bananas when she saw this in the grocery store. As I already mentioned today, I’m the meanest mother in the world, so I didn’t buy them. I do have some cartoon character stickers in the basement that I’ll happily stick on every canned good in our kitchen.
Her majesty has requested white cupcakes with pink icing and hearts on top for her birthday. I thought that would be easy. Who knew that heart shaped candy is only around in February? Update – Sugarbakers
