I really like you lettuce, but only sometimes...

My thought today was about lettuce. And how much I hate warm lettuce. confused? let me elaborate...

Lettuce Wraps @ PF Chang's (cold lettuce, warm chicken) = REALLY GOOD
(cold) lettuce on a turkey sub = GOOD
(warm) lettuce on a warm sandwich (chicken cheesesteak) or a sandwich being reheated that has lettuce on it = NASTY

It gets slimy when warm/hot....and it becomes more stringy and rotten looking. Just the idea of it right now is giving me the chills.

I hate taking the lettuce off, because if it was on there in the first place, I wanted it there. But putting a sandwich into the microwave to reheat and having the lettuce become warm and change textures is just plain GROSS.

So, that's about it. I don't like warm or hot lettuce. The End.

my kids crack me up.

"i love this city.  it has Dairy Queen in it." - Aidan

he has a point.  who doesn't love DQ?  I grew up on that place...and my love for it never went away, even though I am in my thirties 25.

luke made me laugh a lot today too.  my favorite thing is when he thinks he's super cool by putting his sunglasses on, but they're upside down.

that brings me to sleepy time.  i went to check on aidan.  can you see him?  goodnight!

40 going on 12

have you ever seen the show, An Idiot Abroad?  If you haven't, I have some great news because I have an idiot abroad in New Jersey who will do just fine. A bunch of us were out to celebrate my friend (of 17 years!) Merle's 40th birthday last night.  We went to pf chang's (yum) and then off to boogie nights. Its nice to have a friend who never changes.  You don't have to worry about it getting weird or not wanting to hang out anymore.  Merle hasn't changed, unless you count the "twins", since I met her when I was 14. Happy 40th Merle!  I know in another 10 years you will still be doing the same idiotic stuff with me.  Heee Haww!!

damn you mcdonalds.

apparently mcdonald's wants me to gain 20+ pounds with their new, re-designed milkshakes which are now called "McCafe Shakes." they obviously added a new ingredient (possibly crack) into them so they taste extra good.  They've also added whipped cream and a cherry on top. (i don't even like those fake cherries with their red dye #40, but i think because its there, it tastes better.) Or maybe its just simply new packaging and the taste is the same which therefore makes me the biggest sucker ever.

regardless, i've been completely obsessed with them (and their fries, and their nugget meal, and their hot mustard sauce for the nuggets) that i've gone there about 15 4 times this week alone (and the week isn't over).  This is not normal.  maybe i'll sue them for their milkshakes being "delicious" just like that woman sued them because their coffee was "hot"

aidan really loves animals.

so i go to check on aidan and i walk into his room & see this:

he apparently fell asleep while sniffing (??) a toy bird












So, I go to move him because he was laying all awkward, and realize he stuffed about 20+ Little People animals into his pants.  again.

 I had to take his pants off in order to get them all out.  photo evidence here:

TMI

so, tonight at work i had a woman that wanted to sign up for a Rewards card...

 

Me: "ok, can i please have your e-mail address"

Woman: (gets quiet) "ok...i'm embarrassed....its alwaysnaughty@______.com"

Me: (chuckled) "ok....first name?"

Woman: "my husband created it for me...maybe i should start giving my work email instead."

yea, might be a good idea lady!

soggy nugget.

so, i just had a half-eaten, water logged chicken nugget hit me in the arm. Thrown by none other than Mr. Luke.

It then ricocheted off my arm , left its mark on our glass table, and landed with a slimy thump on the floor. I look over at Luke and he looks pretty guilty to me:
