to get her

when i was first learning to spell the word "together," i remember my mom or a teacher or somebody giving me the helpful tip of just spelling "to get her" without any spaces. it's funny, nearly two and a half years later, i still find myself saying "to get her" when i write out that word sometimes.

friendly reminder

don't forget to call your president and wish him a happy president's day today!

oh crud, we got vamps

i think my neighbors might be vampires.

driving buddies

new video from olde champions! it's funny and surprising and action packed! just like a surprise party where funny people show up and do action-y things!

old brocolli in my fanny pack

so i was cleaning out my fanny pack the other day, and boy was i surprised to find this: a dried out piece of brocolli! the funny think is: i haven't worn that fanny pack since halloween! and there wasn't any brocolli at that halloween party! i can only assume that i have a magic fanny pack that, if gone untouched for 4 months, generates old brocolli from thin air. i've tried to contact several scientists and local politicians to share this technological breakthrough, but, so far, have only been met with very rude secretaries.

teach parents

i forgot to tell you guys about this, but around christmas time, someone sent me a nice little care package via google that encouraged me to learn how to use gmail. the package was clearly designed to help old people understand email and included stickers for your keyboard, a notepad with the teachparentstech.org url, and buttons with sayings like "world's techiest mom."

i haven't figured out who sent the package. maybe it was the same person who subscribed me to Crappie World. i suspect my friend trent, though i can't be sure.

poohed

there's a really addicting game on my kindle called "every word." it's one of those where they give you a bunch of letters and you have two minutes to make words out of them. and there's one or two big words that use all the letters. and you have to get one of those to make it to the next level. well, the other day, one of the big words was POOHED.

i just thought you should know.

mortgage rates

i used to think i had a vague understanding of what a mortgage was. then i saw this ad. now i'm baffled. it has something to do with old people graduating and giving the V sign?

year of the rabbit

well, another chinese year has come and gone. the year of the tiger was a decent one. i have a few regrets. i wish i would've eaten more chinese food. i didn't find any time to play with a chinese fingertrap or take the time to sit down with an old friend for a rousing game of chinese checkers. but according to some website, the year of the rabbit will be a slightly less stressful one. i hope to use my extra time to do the things i miss. chinese cutting in line. practicing chinese fire drills. and replacing the batteries in my chinese smoke detector.
here's to an enjoyable chinese new year! hip hop hooray! (rabbit joke AND a naughty by nature joke).

baby coffees

this is what coffee looks like when it's a baby. isn't that crazy? it's adorable!
