Don't juded a picture until you know.....

When asked to draw a picture of what they wanted to be when they grew up, second-grader "Sarah" turned in the lovely drawing shown below. Needless to say, the teacher was a bit surprised -- Mrs. Smith had always seemed like such a conservative woman. So she sent a note home to the girl's mother asking for clarification as to the picture's meaning.

(Here's the reply the teacher received the following day)


Dear Mrs. Jones,
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot. From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
Sincerely, Mrs. Smith

Ummmmmm

this has seriously got to be one of the single best videos on YouTube!!

Thought this was worthy of a post

I never win anything....

I guess I can't say that anymore. Today I received a $25 gift card for IHOP in the mail. I WON a drawing!!! I vaguely remember a recent trip to IHOP (the day we closed on our house we ate there) where I filled out a form and put it in the entry box by the door, who knows why. BUT I am glad I did! I WON!!!

My most awesome Christmas present...by accident

Well this is kind of a long story but isn't that way blogs are for? Here goes. Kay had asked me to help with holiday baking but then retracted her request because we moved just two weeks before Christmas and thought that I would have too much on my plate. Well, little does she no that I don't actually know how big my plate is so I always pile on a lot to make sure! :) Any way, I said, "No way, I'll be fine!" So I was given the task of making Peanutbutter Balls or for some Buckeye Candy. A double batch! So Jeremy helped me in my endeavor, he actually rolled most of them out while I toothpicked them. Later I dipped them in chocolate and bagged them up. The day we were getting ready to leave, things were hurried and I am sure you can see where this is going...I ENDED UP LEAVING THE PEANUTBUTTER BALLS IN THE FREEZER and didn't realize it until we were half way there. So I texted Steve, who is the real fan of them and he told me to either go back and get them or not show up :). While we were still yet on the road, Kay and Steve went to the store and made ANOTHER batch to replace my forgotten ones. They too made a double batch and in the process fried Kay's mixer. SOOOOO on Christmas we had nothing to make mashed taters with, so Kay called her mom and asked her to bring her mixer. She did. During the making of the mashed taters it came up that the mixer was far more than Grandmommy needed and if Kay wanted the mixer she could have it, I of course chimed in that I "needed: a mixer as well, just joking. Making a long story longer, Kay decided that she would get her own mixer and gave me Grandmommy's! Now, we aren't talking about any Sunbeam mixer from Wal-Mart. We are talking about (hear the heavenly angles singing?) a KitchenAide!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I am sooooo pumped, I've always wanted one but never had the counter space or extra dough (hehe pun intended!) YEAH! So maybe it is good to be forgetfull. Remember if I hadn't forgotten the PB Balls in the first place Steve would have never had to make his own and blow out Kay's forcing her mom to bring hers to Christmas dinner for mashed taters, confessing that she doesn't need that big of a mixer, then I revealed my hearts true desire for one. BAMMMMM Here it is on my counter! I am counting my blessings for a GREAT Christmas with Family, mashed taters and a new KitchenAide!
