The Malt O Meal Shredded Mini Spooners are waaay better than Frosted Mini Wheats. They have more sugary topping and hold together better in the milk. (or Lactaid in my case)
How do you know when your mascara is all gone?
Diet 7UP is really good.
I've never been able to open a yogurt without having it spit on me. Today I had Blackberry Pomegranate.
I'm ready for another Harry Potter movie to come out.
Buttermilk really does go rotten. I know it tastes rotten even when it's not, just trust the expiration date. I wish I would have.
If you know anyone who's remodeling their house and they are going to re-finish their hardwood floors, tell them to do that last. It will save them a lot of heartache.
I agree with Dr. Laura about 99% of the time. She and I differ on our opinion of home schooling.
I'm taking down my Christmas decorations this weekend. I promise.

Blog Etiquette
What is the proper blog etiquette for replying to a comment on your blog? Do you make a seperate post? Reply in your own comment section? Leave a comment on the blog in which you wish to reply?
I just don't know.
Diana, yes I am lucky to have a house. But you have to remember that I probably pay as much for my house as you do for your apartment. You just happen to live a few blocks from the beach.
Dallas, thanks for saying that that post wasn't boring. That actually put a big smile on my face that I didn't put any make-up on this morning. We got Ry's W2 yesterday so I'll be getting my tax stuff to you straigt away. I realize that you and I probably have the same readers of our blog, but if there's anyone out there who is looking for someone to do their taxes, Dallas is your man. He's awesome.

I'm a Shadow
I remember growing up and following my mom all around the house. If she was going to make her bed I would follow her. If she was going to work in the kitchen, I would follow her. I remember this very clearly.
I've been feeling like that again lately. We are currently doing a fairly large remodel in our house. Last night, I just followed Ry everywhere he went. I tried to be helpful in the process, having the tool ready that he was going to need and so on, but I told him about how I remembered following my mom everywhere when I was a kid, and his reply was "I bet she just loved that."
Maybe he was giving me a hint that I could serve a better purpose in the kitchen or something.
Seriously, this is such a boring post, but it's all I got.

Impulse Buying
My first car was a 1989 Plymouth Acclaim. It was black with limited edition maroon interior. That car took Liz, Bob, Scott...I mean Elder Wait...and myself on an unforgettable trip to California.
My second car was a 1999 Mercury Cougar. I worked at a car dealership and drove this car off the showroom floor. I made double and triple payments on this thing then traded it in. This vehicle was also the beginning of a few really bad car decisions on my part.
Car #3 was another brand new car, a 2001 Dodge Stratus R/T. I loved this car, but yes, it was a mistake as well.
Both of the cars I just mentioned, were not even thought about. I just went to work one day and bought myself two new cars. Man, I could just kick myself.
Then one day, I said to myself, "Self, you may want to go camping some day and this vehicle just won't do." I went to work that day and made yet another mistake. I traded in that Stratus for a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport. Do you know what the "sport" means? It means two door. Yes, a two door SUV.
I never took it camping.
At this point in my life, I wanted to buy my friend's Honda Civic. The first time I rode in her car, I told her if she's ever going to sell that car, I want to buy it. I tried for months to sell the aforementioned Explorer, but no one wanted a 2 door. It eventually sold and I was so happy to have that Honda.
I would like to point out that I haven't owned a four door car since the Acclaim I had in 1997.
It was a red 1991 Honda Civic hatchback. I've had that car for over 3 years, watched the odometer hit 200,000 miles, I've driven the heck out of that thing. In fact, it's the vehicle I drove to work today.
But I'm not driving it home today.
Today I bought a 1996 Nissan Maxima. This thing is loaded. Heated leather seats, a sunroof, cruise control, a cup holder, A/C, not to mention it only has 105,000 miles on it. I paid $1500. Yes, it has 4 doors.
If I could go back in time, I would've driven that Acclaim for the last ten years and saved all that money. I could've had a lot of great shoes.
Just kidding about the shoes.
