I picked up a new item from Trader Joe’s after trying a sample in the store. My children have vetoed it. It seems that they have strong opinions of which kitchen ingredients I am allowed to experiment with… or not. Evidently, chorizo is sacred to them.
I am the proud mother of The World’s Biggest Toddlers:
I have a teen-aged daughter, therefore, I receive the occasional fashion advice. Usually unsolicited.
I returned home from an event last night and The Girl greeted me with… not disgust, not vicarious embarrassment, but more of a request rather than advice. The request was that I avoid wearing my khaki pants and red Keds. It was more of a beg than a request, springing from her 15 years of parochial schooling. And I really got a great, big laugh out it, once I figured it out…
Apparently, I was dressed just like a Catholic school boy.
You know the drill- You find something funny online and turn to show it to, oh, let’s say your TEENAGER… what do they always say?
“Oh, ha ha, yeah, I saw that a long time ago,”
or worse, “Yeah, whatever, I’ve seen it.”
or the worst, “Pffft. OMGeee, mom, everyone’s seen that.”
Hmm. This sounds familiar. Oh, that’s right, it’s because I say that to my mom, too. Shame on me.
How about you, seen these yet? No rolling your eyes at me… click on the pics to bring up larger copies.
See? If you cheat on your way up, God’s gonna cool you down.
LOL
Just kidding, don’t hate on me. I initiated this search originally (left photo) as a concerned lover of Beantown, NOT a disgruntled Colts fan. Which I am also.
Even the ads are getting sarcastic, check out the one on the bottom of the page that I got a screen shot of (right)
God bless you, Boston and surrounding areas. Stay warm and safe! I can’t visit soon enough, its one of my favorite places on earth, snow or no snow.
The Husband helped me come up with the name of this blog. He liked the idea of branching out and trying something new every day. The Girl had her own suggestions including, but not limited to, the following:
I can’t decide which is my favorite.
