so perhaps i was a bit hasty in my earlier impression…

Ok, so Philadelphia isn’t all bad. There are some nice parts and some are even pretty picturesque. However, i have never seen a city where there is such blatant disregard for any litter laws (if they have them here). The strange part is that it is so filthy that you expect only gang-bangers, druggies and [...]

You should already know this…

Dear Random-Father-Grocery-Shopping-At-Safeway-Tonight,
Please do not encourage your daughter to wash her hands off using the mister that’s spraying directly over the broccoli I’m planning on getting. Just because it’s water, doesn’t mean it’s meant for washing hands.
As for the rest of you…please tell me this was an isolated incident. My faith  in mankind is having serious [...]

I do have standards, you know…

Here’s one thing I won’t eat: Brussel Sprouts.
I never really remember having to eat brussel sprouts when I was growing up. I know that my mom planted them in the garden one year, but I don’t remember ever actually eating them. I do know that she never grew them after that.

and why?

I bought a box of Cap’n Crunch today. Don’t ask me why; it was on sale and I’ve never had it before. I have discovered two things. One, it is impossibly hard to find a picture of the back of this cereal box to show you, and two, Cap’n Crunch and all the kids on [...]

quote of the day

“It’s like the perfect kiss: you have a mouth-full of spaghetti, and I have a mouth-full of french bread!”
I didn’t say it was appropriate.
Overheard today at costco:
“…and you know it’s good because Ranch Dressing has been around for a long time!”
Yeah, the ancient pharaohs used it on their…food. The Roman Empire? Caesar sent it in [...]

Pinata Post

I called it that because this one is a mixed bag of goodies. Here we go.
First off, I forgot to mention yesterday that in the midst of my shameful bowling episode, Violet came to my rescue and peed all over me so that we had to leave. There’s a first for everything I guess. She [...]

“When is the health inspector going to get around to closing this Dairy Queen down finally?”
“When they go inside.”
AJ and I were sitting in our car after church and the church parking lot is right across from Dairy Queen. Picture if you will, the oldest fast food restaurant in town where each year has left [...]

Did you ever know you were my hero…

Ok, so first off, this is not a story I should be telling you. Secondly, if you get grossed out easily, please stop reading–that way you can’t complain to me when you realize that you will never swim in lake goodwin again.
All the characters will remain nameless. So apparently this happened like last summer or [...]

I think the tooth fairy skipped our house…

Violet still has no teeth. nada.
New Rule (for everyone): Just Because the Carpool Lane is Not the Other Other Fast Lane, Doesn’t Mean it’s the Other Other Slow Lane.  I’m just saying.
You ever think up new things and wish you could make your ideas a reality? Like flying cars, for instance. Mine? Fart Bells. Thats right, [...]
