Pirate Talk

Ok this is so random but I think I figured something out about the way pirates talk. You know how they're always saying "Ai!" and "Arr!"? Well I think they're saying the alphabet. Ai is I and Arr is R. All the accents in the world were taken so they just decided to elaborate on the alphabet. Next thing you know, they'll be going around saying Ell! (L) and Ess! (S) till they use up the whole alphabet! Yep that's what I think :)

Crazy Comforting

The other day my dog past away and I was in a really sad mood. (Don't ask about how he died, i don't want to talk about it....) So my friend called me up and told me to come over and bring the rest of the family. It happened to be my dad's birthday. She told me she was going to cheer us up with cupcakes! Yum! When we got there she introduced me to "Ingrid". Before you all go and think this is an old lady I will tell you it's not. It's a huge bowl of icing. HUGE. She told me to taste it and you could feel the sugar crystals crunching in your teeth. Yikes. But anyway she had made baby Ingrids (chocolate cupcakes with Ingrid icing) and cinnamon apple streusel cupcakes. There was also "Betty". That was the chocolate icing. We ended up having to make more Ingrid because the first one was a flop. And you all know how cooking with one of your best friends can be. Let's just say I had chocolate all over my face and there was chocolate covered tomatoes and yeah. NEVER EVER try chocolate covered tomatoes. Take it from someone who knows.....In the end it did comfort me...strangely. We didn't leave empty handed. We got to take some Ingrid babies home!

Crazy Invention!

Ok am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous? I mean come on. This little gadget was featured in one of my moms magazines that she got in the mail. And yes it's for real. You can actually buy this thing. The Hotdog Toaster is for the people in the world who have no time to cook hotdogs the normal way. When I look at this I have this feeling that somehow they wouldn't quite taste the same anyway.

Blogger Block

As you've probably noticed I haven't been very frequent on Blogger lately. I'm going through one of those "phases". (And no it has nothing to do with growing up...) It's pretty much like you feel an obligation to your blog but you don't have the mojo to write about stuff. So please forgive me. These phases happen every once in awhile. I'm going to think of a name for this.....hmmm....Blogger block? Sounds good.
