1. I am so over Starbucks chai tea lattes. I need to move on. any suggestions?
2. The new consignment boutique needs to hire me as a consultant, since i am highly knowledgeable about children's consignment and handmade items (not so sure about grammar, though). They are doing it all wrong, and I am disappointed in them.
3. I am not finished with nursing pads. I thought i was, but I'm not.
4. I don't really like im-ing, but my husband is worth it. no one else is, though, so don't ask me to "chat."
5. I tried a new sandwich at lunch today and LOVED it: turkey, brie, and pear panini from City Limits. The pears were a delightful surprise. Added a little crunch and a little sweetness.
6. I think I would love to be a food writer. But i need more practice. Writing, not eating.
7. Eating ice cream BEFORE my meal did not "ruin my lunch."

Now, I'm going to go print this out and read it to dad over supper. Even though I'm staying with him, he checks my blog every night. He says I'm wittier and more interesting on my blog than I am in person. Sorry, all you real-life friends. I never knew.

What's that? Oh! You just want to hear about the kids! Today we took them to Purity Dairy Ice cream Plant for their "Plant tour". We didn't actually get to tour anything. We just got to stay in this one room with a big window where we could watch the machines package the ice cream, and then we watched a movie where Ernest (like, Ernest Goes to Jail) told us all about Purity's milk products and how safe they were. My kids didn't really learn a lot from the film, but the LOVED milk cartons with legs that kept running around behind Ernest. It was defiantly "vintage". And yes, E and I got Cherry Chocolate Chunk, S got Plain Vanilla, JT got strawberry, and no, I did not let A have any. Next month, maybe.
