Irish Creme was not a good coffee choice. I don't know about you, but while I do enjoy some flavored creamers in my coffee, I'm almost always disappointed when the coffee itself is flavored. Huh.
The hair-coloring hiatus I had been on for a year is now over (not just because of the boss/gray hair incident, but that was a
Is it nice to live in one of those states where you don't have to give a shit about recycling aluminum cans? With a ten cent refund each, it's like a lame-ass savings plan for us, just one that creates clutter and hassle instead of earned interest.
We ventured out to the WalMart this weekend - which, as usual, turned out to be a bad idea. You go in there and it's like you're sucked into this strange vortex that transcends space and time. I mean, I wonder if you were just dropped into any one of these stores across the country if you could tell at all - by checking out the merchandise and your fellow shoppers - what state you were in, or even what year it was? Speculation says that once inside it is permanently backwoods Indiana 1989. Oh, I kid, I kid. But there is even a specific dialect to this store along with it's own breed of disaffected, disgruntled employees. I don't know how many other places in Michigan we've ever heard this much use of "y'all" and "dudn't" - while it's endearing coming from an actual southerner, it just feels sort of awkward and out of place when you hear it from people up here. It's not like I think I'm above this store or anything, if that's where it seems I'm going with this (not much of anywhere, really). I'm all about the bargain & clearance shopping, I'm just saying that this place makes my beloved Target seem like even more of a peaceful utopia by comparison.
Oh, I know - so negative! And I didn't even get to the parts about the dumping of snow we've had, financial woes, premarital woes, or pending car issues! I'll try to end this on a positive note by saying that yes, the Nintendo Wii really is as cute and amusing as they say it is. And that it doesn't have to be summertime to enjoy a nice strong mojito.

a lovely mojito will solve many ills, tho it won't make Walmart tasteful.
Are you saying that the Walmart employees speak with a Southern accent in Michigan? There must be some sort of exchange program within the corporation, because the checkout clerks at Walmart here all have these thick-as-cold syrup Dam...err...Yankee accents. I wonder what the ones in Maine sound like?
mmm...mojito...and I have mint in my garden, too.
I was in a coffee shop/bar in the mountains last weekend. 20 degrees out and the woman down from me was having a mojito. I thought that very strange....
I had bourbon in a clean glass, just the way God intended.
I was totally just thinking about tapered pants. I had a static cling issue this morning (what with the temp being -19, I HAD to wear thermal long underwear) that made it look like I was wearing tapered pants. Imagine my delight.
