100 words | two truths and a lie.

Last night at work we did trivia night. My team ended up placing in the bottom four, haha oh well. For the icebreaker we played two truths and a lie (give two true statements and a lie and others have to figure out which one’s the lie). Since people I’ve known for years didn’t seem to know, so I figured I might as well leave it here too:

I once had woodstocks deliver pizza through a bathroom window.
I’ve never gotten a traffic ticket before.
I got pulled over once for not stopping at a stop sign on my bike.

100 words | cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

When I was a kid, I was in love with cereal. It didn’t matter if it was lucky charms, kix, cheerios, even corn flakes (except grape nuts… that stuff is bleh). I even had a process: I’d pour half a bowl in some milk, let it sit for a while, then pour the rest of the bowl and mix. I guess I was fascinated with the fact that it could be both mushy and crunchy at the same time (yes... life was simpler back then). These days it’s just plain oatmeal that taste like cardboard… where has that magic gone??

100 words | post-thanksgiving turkeys…

Have you ever seen the Friends episode where Phoebe works at a Christmas tree lot and discovers that unwanted trees go into the chipper? She made a big deal about trees fulfilling their Christmas destiny (I imagine it’d be going to a home and getting decorated). Do thanksgivings turkeys have a similar destiny? I would imagine it would be similar since turkeys would have already been killed and frozen in anticipation for thanksgiving. So what now? Safeway is already having sales on turkeys (seriously… it’s cheaper than rice now…). So… if you feel inclined, go out and buy a turkey.

100 words | chicken soup

Since I’m a bit under the weather, now’s a good time to tell you about the chicken soup my mom used to make when I got sick. Most chicken soups I get from stores have veggies and pasta and taste more or less like campbells. This one’s different. My mom makes one with daikon, wintermelon, onion, and some asian veggies. It comes out a pretty thin and low in sodium that you can pretty much drink it all day long like water. I kinda wish I had some now… the soup was so lovingly prepared even the chicken gets well.

100 words | black friday shopping

Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose, so on my way into work I stopped by target to pick up some Dayquil, cough drops, and Kleenex. Big, big mistake. The crowd in there was nuts. To be honest, I’m not really sure why, they didn’t seem to have anything good anyways (except a fully programmable crockpot… alas I already have a crockpot). It took me thirty minutes just to get through line, and everyone around me was coughing and sneezing as much as me. Never have the words triple ply meant so much to me.

100 words | hallmark, you have gone too far.

I went to the store yesterday to buy my cousin Michelle a birthday card. The birthday card section is split into main “For Him” and “For Her” sections, which is cool, so you can get gender specific cards. Well, above each card there’s a description of the card and who it’s tailored for/ from. They were labeled “For My Mother”, “For My Sister”… and so forth. Well there’s no generic “For Her” or “For My Cousin” card. My choices were sister, mom, wife, grandma, or coworker. I had to go with the most ambiguous one there. Thanks, birthday card writers.

100 words | the one day I can wear flipflops to work :)

No matter what we have going on in our lives, I think we can all agree that we’re nevertheless abundantly blessed and have much to be thankful for. From my point of view, the issues we have in our lives, the relationship dramas, the graduation worries, even the unbearable jobs, are so small compared to what we do have. We are blessed with those relationships in our lives, an available education, and even work. We’re blessed!! So happy thanksgiving!

also if you’re my area feel free to feed me cuz the lunch places around here are closed…

lol just kidding…
