You are welcome.
Have a great Friday!
- Chin hairs. The bastion of adulthood/woman-ness they surprisingly forgot to tell us about during that "class" in fifth grade.
- So, you know that "authentication code" section you have to do on the internets? You know, the ones with the scrambled words...to prove you aren't a robot? Yeah. I'm pretty sure those folks are in cahoots with the eyeglasses industry. It takes me at least two tries. Maybe more. (Note to self: never make fun of your elder {and wiser} Sister Bear when she gets reading glasses. Because, um, that might possibly bite you in the fuzzy behind sooner than you ever anticipated.)
- I caught a portion of a story on NPR the other day, and it was just enough to scare the be-jeepers outta me. Seems it's possible that the Earth's magnetic poles/fields are due for a switch. They say nothing big will change - only the compass will point South instead of north. I say that my compass pointing north one day and south the next day...BIG DEAL. I'm more than a little obsessed with checking compasses now. Oh, and for those of you that weren't already worried about this, the last time this occurred was a wee 740,000 years ago. So, HOW IN THE WORLD do we know nothing bad's going to happen if all the folks that were around when it happened are now fossils??? Are my cubs going to grow up saying "True South" versus "True North?" These are the things that keep me awake at night.
- I've always been a big fan of NPR's show, "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" Love it. But now that I've stepped up my technological game to 2009 levels and learned how to download a Podcast, I love it even more. Nothing, and I do mean nothing makes an hour long
torture session on the skinny seat of painbike ride more entertaining than an episode of "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" Love. - I witnessed some seriously savvy Mom-ing today. I was at Sugar Bear's ballet class and they were asking mom's to sign up for the role of "Backstage Mom" for their upcoming recital. Every Mama Bear in the room immediately went digging for a pen in their purse. Guess who was the only Mama Bear with a pen? Yep. Bravo, other Mama Bears. Bravo. Note to self: stop carrying a pen in my purse.
- My favorite restaurant in the world has upped their game. Yes they have. Chick Fila is now serving a "Banana Pudding Milkshake" see:
Mmmm......I restrained myself. Today. But, rest assured CyberBears, my willpower will eventually fail me. And it will be divine.
Sometimes our cousin connection frightens me. Not 5 minutes before reading your blog post, I squinted my way through one of those darn word authentication things and wondered if I might be blind. (Facebook's are WAY harder to read than blogger's.) And with my eldest on a field trip today, I decided to take C to Chick-fil-A since she's never been there, what with a non chicken-eating brother who would keep the visit from being fun. That darn company-- I pick up my small cup of water and emblazoned on it was "TRY A BANANA PUDDING MILKSHAKE"!!!! I've had them in years past-- DELICIOUS. Don't wait too long!
ReplyDelete(Side note: I haven't been to C-f-A in so long that I had to be told they haven't had spicy nuggets in a loooong time!)
You HAVE to be the only person who listens to WWDTM Podcasts while cycling! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAlso, how ironic is it that I had to prove I was not a robot to comment on this post? Twice!
ReplyDeleteThose milkshakes will complete your life. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI love banana pudding and I like milkshakes, but these don't call to me. I think it may be because I had some awful synthetic banana flavored ice cream as a child. Or I have something broken inside.
