the greatest generation

my grandma was talking about growing up in the great depression. when i walked in she was in the middle of saying "there were three druggies in our town; this was in a time when that was quite a thing.... it was the doctor, the drug store owner's wife, and the blacksmith."

So, tonight my mom and I went to buy presents for her teaching interns. "All of them tell me that their students love Smencils," she said. Apparently "smencils" are smelly pencils. So we tried to find some, but no stores seemed to carry them. Then I found these:





I told her to get them and tell her interns that what students REALLY like are "swencils". Sweater pencils.

today after thanksgiving dinner we were all playing catchphrase, and my aunt was giving a clue. she said, "someone who's cooking in the kitchen with big pots and pans."

my cousin said, "woman."

oh now you tell me

we ate at a fancy restaurant. the service was terrible. the food was pretty good, but not enough of it. it was overpriced. the next day, huffington said it would be getting a 1 star review. i wish they had broken that story out a little earlier.

fly like a cheesestick

today in the car with my mom, like a g6 came on. i was going to tell her a story about the song, so i said, "you know how they say 'fly like a g6'?"

to which she responded, "oh, is that what they're saying? i thought they were saying 'like a cheesestick'."

my blanket keeps pulling above my feet. i am too tall.

i miss being a kid. when i was little, my family & one of my bro's friends went to disney world and we stopped at my aunt and uncle's in atlanta. we were in our full sized van, named AirBowden. i was in the middle, my bro and his friend were in the back, rents in the front. i played pokemon the whole drive down. we got lost and it was dark out, so we stopped at mcdonalds and called them for directions. i was concerned, being little and not knowing what was up.

my brother joked to his friend about the conversation that would take place in asking for directions.

"Hello? Yeah we're lost, and it's dark."
"Well where are you?"
"Under a big sign?"
"Ok that's good, what's it say?"

"McDonalds"

sounds about right

well, here's a lunch. last night i smashed my car and got a concussion, but that's not the story. the story is that when i got home i woke up my mom and told her to wake me up every few hours because of my head. she woke me up twice, and the second time i was out cold. so when she asked, "where are you?" i responded with, "dead." she said i used to say stuff like that all the time in my sleep when i was little so she knew that everything was normal.

the answer was ewoks

went to trivia night at a local pub with some friends, hoping to rake in some serious prize. the theme was supposed to be starwars. there was only one star wars question. we got 4th place, out of like twenty teams. sucky.

yup

the other night i was at a friend's sittin around outside, and after i went inside to the bathroom i came back out to join them and said "alright i'm done."

they looked at me waiting for me to say more, so i added, "i just fell into the bathtub."

so i cooked a meal for the first time ever for a couple of my fwends. spinach manicotti, green beans, brownies. it was really hard work but the end result was yummy. nothing exploded or burned. great success!

cuz i'm cool i guess

last night i had on my favorite dress, climbed in an off roading jeep, didn't know we were gonna try to cross the creek in the backyard and get stuck, got splattered with mud chunks. stood there with mud in my hair and all over my dress and just laughed, surprised everyone by not getting mad, not even a little. took a shower, put on some borrowed boys clothes, and kicked it by the bonfire with some beer for the rest of the night.
