I Cleaned Out The Refrigerator Today

It was due a cleanout since there was no place to put the new food because all the old food was in the way. There was lots of stuff to toss in there. I actually cleaned it out about a month or so ago, but I didn't do as good a job as I could have. So there was stuff I had neglected to take care of during that cleanout as well as the stuff that had built up since then. Fun things like the remnants of our New Year's Day dip fiesta. Uh-huh, you read that right. New Year's Day. It's June now. There was the remnant of a cheese ball that was even on a Christmas plate to add a little holiday spirit to the fridge. There was also the hardened chunk of cream cheese with crusty jalapeno jelly o top of it. Appetizing. Then, of course, there were the requisite bowls of leftovers that didn't get eaten. Then there was something unexpected.



Cheese! Yummy! Not much left in there, but a little cheese is better than no cheese, right? Hmm... Let's check the date...


April 27, 2008. I guess we shouldn't eat this cheese. With it being June of 2009 now, I don't like the chances of still being safe...

Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Egg Burps Here...

Ok, I have more Youtube fun to offer for your enjoyment today. When I was little, there was this educational ad that played on TV. I think they played it during Saturday morning cartoons or something. I liked the tune, and I would sing along with it. Here's the kicker: I thought they were singing about something completely different than what they were really singing about. The ad has some people in a store singing about adverbs. They sang "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here..." This is the only part of the song that I "knew the words" to. Obviously I was not paying enough attention to the ad. What I sang was "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly Get Your Egg Burps Here..." I know now that there is a distinct difference between an adverb and an egg burp, and I think if I had paid more attention to the ad when I was little, I may have figured it out then, too. And here is the ad for your viewing pleasure!

I Like Weird Stuff

Hello! I have something fun to share today. I have had the CD this song is from for years, but I never thought to look for it on Youtube until recently. I like weird kinds of music, and this is one that qualifies. You may not like it, but at least watch it until he starts to "rap", because that's the best part! Feel free to let me know what you think of this artist who I affectionately call "The Bobo".

Darn Bird!

Hello there! We love birds here at our house. We have lots of bird feeders and we put out tasty seeds for them and watch them eat it. We even have binoculars so we can get a closer look at our feathered friends and enjoy their presence to the fullest extent possible. We have houses for them out back and every spring, we enjoy keeping tabs on the new little baby birds.

One particular bird has me a little annoyed, though. Well, I suspect it was a bird, but there is no actual proof. You know how sometimes the birds fly into the windows? Well, last Friday, I was all excited because I didn't have to leave for work until 10:00. I was having a nice, relaxing lazy morning. I was just relaxing in the tub when I heard a really loud "THUD". I thought "Oh goodness, that bird hit the window hard!" You see, birds have hit our windows so many times that I have gotten pretty good at identifying that sound as opposed to other sounds. Well, this ruined the relaxing bath, so I hurried to check on the poor bird that hit the window. Sometimes they end up sitting around on the ground below the window for a little while before they fly away. And then there are the poor little birds that don't recover from their collision, but we don't want to think about that, now, do we?

Anyway, back to my story. I went around the house, looking out the windows for a sad little bird. When I went into what we call the "Fun Room" (where we have the computers), I saw glass on the ledge outside the window. That's right, the bird broke the window. I was sure that if it broke the window, it would be on the ground outside looking all sad, but there was no sign of it. There also wasn't anything else out there that didn't belong. The only evidence was a broken window. Fortunately, we have those double paned windows and it only broke the outside glass, so it's not like there is a hole there that is exposing us to the elements. Still, I am not too excited about having a broken window.

Here are some pictures of the fun for your enjoyment.

Vintage Card

Ok, so my husband's boss went to an estate sale. Apparently the person whose stuff was being sold used to own a card shop. There were boxes full of vintage greeting cards for sale, so my husband's boss bought them, thinking that the people in the office would love to be able to get all the free greeting cards. The thing is, they are quite vintage, and mostly very odd. No one was taking any of them. My husband, being an odd person, decided to bring home a whole bunch of them to entertain me. When he got home with them, we sat on the couch reading them and laughing hysterically, wondering how in the world these cards could ever have been considered relevant. Since then, we have given some of them out, which has resulted in many chuckles from the recipients. There is one particular card which I desperately want to give to someone, but I can't bring myself to part with it. I often look at it and wonder what its creators were thinking. I decided that since I cannot part with it, I should scan it and post it on my blog for all the world to enjoy. I hope you appreciate its strangeness as much as I do!

Here is the front.

And here is the message on the inside.

Cola Debate

Well, hubby and I were pondering cola the other day. We are partial to Dr. Pepper, but my parents like Coca-Cola. Most of the people we know either like Dr. Pepper or Coca-Cola, but we don't know anyone who prefers Pepsi. SOOOOOO... I thought it was time for my first blog poll! On my main blog page, there is a cola poll in the right hand column. If you feel so inclined, I would be delighted for you to take part in my poll! It would be interesting to find out how many Pepsi drinkers are out there compared to the other colas.
