Mom?

Target...the best place for something amusing to happen.
So I stopped there on the way home to get a few things, and then, I was off to stand in line.
As I was completely dazed waiting for my turn at the conveyor belt, something caught my attention. It was a mother, one lane over, and all I could hear was:
"Courtney, come here. Courtney, put that down. Courtney, stop it. Courtney, seriously, get over here. COURTNEY! put it down and get over here. Courtney, that is it, we are leaving!"
I seriously had to stop myself from turning around and calling her mom.
Just like when I was a little kid...

P.S. I got a tiny stuffed cat that looks just like Max and meows half price in the Dollar Spot (um, yeah, 50 cents) and I brought it home for a toy for Max, but he didn't think it was a cool as I did.

A New Lazy.

So, I was washing my hands at work the other day, and I remember when they first put in the soap foam dispenser. We were all SO excited (because it doesn't take much).

And I started thinking that I also have foamy soap in every room of the house. Dial in the kitchen, cause it is the best and Bath and Body Works in all the bathrooms...

I think it is wonderful. But let me pose this question:

Who was sitting around one day thinking about how difficult it is to make soap foam just by rubbing your hands together and thought...we need soap that foams itself?

Are we that lazy, we can't even make the effort to wash our hands anymore...?

Jesus and whatnot.

So this year I learned about Easter and Jesus.

Palm Sunday: Jesus going through Bethlehem on his journey...ending at the cross

(the following year, the palms were burned on Ash Wednesday and then the priest puts dots of ash on you forehead)

Good Friday: Jesus was crucified (should be called "really unfortunate Friday"). Did you know that old school Catholics have silent time between noon and 3 because apparently that is when he was dying...

Easter: Jesus resurrected

So the Midwest is SO much more religious than anywhere I have lived...So I have learned a lot. The funny thing is that the above information had to looked up online, because the catholics that could not believe I didn't go to church didn't know the answer. The best answer I got was was "because my mom said so".

Also...one thing that always bugged me is stuff that people give up for lent...like giving up chocolate is just like dying for everyone's sins....

Totally the same.

Anyway. I am still happy for peeps, cadbury, chocolate bunnies, ham, potato salad, devilled eggs, etc.

PS. I was going to put a picture of Jesus on here...but it kind of creeped me out. Sorry.

Where have I been....

I keep meaning to update. But I forget. Sorry. I mean seriously, I got a digital picture frame for Christmas, and just today I sat down and put photos on it. I am such a slacker!

So this is the first time I have caught these kids cuddling. As my sister pointed out, Max has his paw on her...She was trying to get away and he wanted to wash her face.

Secretly I think they cuddle all day while I am at work, and pretend to hate each other when I get home :)

Don't Stay too long...

You never know what could happen if you can't find what you want in Bed Bath and Beyond...
