THURSDAY IS TWO FOR ONE POST DAY: "An evening out" AND "Lunchables - advice for life"

Moving to a new city tends to leave you with no friends. Being the nerd that I am, I find it difficult to make new friends (I'm glad we have a lot of family here). So we haven't gone out and done much since we moved here. So, it was a treat when Kent and I spent yesterday evening with one, Glenn Warbler. It was a lovely time. We ate poboys and then went to cafe' du monde. It was on this outing that I discovered three things:

1. Pancho's is extremely popular on Wednesday night. I mean, the line was out the door into the lobby. People really love those free sopapilla's! We decided not to wait.
2. New Orleans has left me void of any opinions. When someone asks what I want to do, or where I want to go, I can only respond, "It doesn't matter. I'm fine with anything. Whatever you want." And, it really doesn't matter. I'm just satisfied with anything. Wierd.
3. At The New Orleans Hamburger & Seafood Co. anything you could possibly be looking for is on the condiment bar. Could I have some Ketchup? It's on the condiment bar. Do you have any tartar sauce? It's on the condiment bar. Do you have extra ice? It's on the condiment bar. Where's the restroom? It's on the condiment bar.

Here's something that doesn't have anything to do with what I was just talking about. Do you all remember when Lunchables first came out? There slogan was "Lunch is what you make of it." That's my new motto. It's really applicable for our everyday lives. Here are some examples:

Someone at work is complaining about having to cook, clean and walk the dog when they get home, respond with "Lunch is what you make of it."

Your friend is blabbing on about having to go on a long car ride with their family, respond with "Lunch is what you make of it."

The lady behind the counter asks if you want fries and a coke, respond with "Lunch is what you make of it."

Try using it throughout the day.

One more thing...

BONUS! I hit 500 visitors today! yay!

OH HAPPY DAY!

Something wonderful has happened...






I received as a gift, THE MAGIC BULLET! Now, thanks to my cousin Tyler, I can make dips, salads, smoothies, sauces and juices all with the same small appliance! I am SOOOOO excited. Really, you all just don't understand how great this thing is until you watch the info-mercial. Thank you Tyler! I can't wait to use it!

A Very Special Christmas Post, No Family Should Miss

Here is a Christmas song that I find funny (and scary)
Sing the parts in red in a loud monster-y voice, and you'll see what I mean


Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin'
All is merry and bright
HANG YOUR STOCKINGS AND SAY YOUR PRAYERS!
'CAUSE SANTA CLAUS COMES TONIGHT!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
Oh what a beautiful sight
SO JUMP IN BED AND COVER UP YOUR HEAD!
'CAUSE SANTA CLAUS COMES TONIGHT!

Yikes...Santa?

My Cousin's Wedding

I went to my cousin Jeff and my new cousin Amy's wedding this past weekend (18th). It was a lot of fun!! My whole family danced for hours and hours. I was really glad to see everyone again, and at the same time. The older everybody gets, the less we see each other. So, I really look forward to the times we can all get together. I can hardly wait till the next wedding!! Who wants to get married next?

I Love my Jobber

Yes, I Jessica, actually like a job. I never thought that would happen, but it did. The work is more difficult than other jobs I've had and I'm given a lot more responsiblity, but I enjoy it. I learn something new everyday. There's just so much to learn. Not to mention, the people I work with are great. They're very funny and relaxed. We sit around on the floor, talk about flatulence at lunch, and don't bother using the phone intercoms, we just yell from office to office. The best part is, they like me too! After hearing about how I love Karaoke, have two knots on my head (that they think could be horns) and that I am often plagued by "French Fry Phlegm," they tell me that its just so great that they found me because I'm just as wierd as they are. So, put 6 wierdos together and you get a great office.

Yeah, well, maybe I don't have anything better to do than take internet quizzes...you wanna make something out of it?

You are the most curious of the animals, but be careful where you go sticking your nose, mousey. You get into trouble easily, and honestly don't get along well with independant cats, little busy body. You are a very hard worker and enjoy caring for others. Befriend a dog, he'll protect you, oh nimble one!

Need to Post

Well, Glenn Warbler just pointed out that I have not updated since Nov. 29th!!! Must...Post..need idea...ugh...

Okay, well, here's something funny that happened at work today. We went to Lowe's to look at some sinks and something happened. I had just finished telling them about how something fell off of a shelf and killed some lady at one of these home improvement stores when from the next aisle over we hear. "Boom" "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" (constant hissing) "ARE YOU OKAY?" "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" "ARE YOU OKAY?" Next thing I know I'm being shoved out of the way by Lowes' employees yelling "OH #$%@! THEY BROKE A GAS LINE!!!!" That was my cue. We left and as we were leaving saw the fire truck pull up. They never did make an announcement for people to evacuate. Glad no one was smoking or carrying torches.
