I really would like to go the brewery to buy the beer they just canned, but taking a half day at work and making a 3 hour round trip for 6 beers seems excessive, even for me. Oh!! Oh!!! That Vermont beer!!! What's the name of it again?? No not heady topper. This is a ma brewery called treehouse which makes beer every bit as good as heady topper

"Affluenza" is apparently a new phenomenon that would fall under the first world problem definition.

"Affluenza" is apparently a new phenomenon that would fall under the first world problem definition. My thought is that it is very prevalent in the Third World. The difference is that there no one questions the right of the privileged to run over the masses.

My husband assured me that we had ground turkey in the freezer. Nope. Now I have to come up with a different way to make lasagna tonight. I have ground beef, but we're having friends over. One doesn't eat beef. I think I'll make a vegetarian lasagna and a meat lasagna. Sigh. Such difficulty.

I like giraffes. They have pretty eyes. And their fur has interesting patterns and spots.

I pulled off keeping the location a secret once. She knew we were going on vacation. She did ask for and get weather info so she would know what to pack. We headed out in the car to drop the kids off with her ex. Fortunately the exit to the airport was right on the way so shocked her that we were flying. (I had arranged for the kid drop to be at the airport.) We got on a plane to LA and on the plane I told her we had a rental car reserved and hotel reservations up the coast ending with a couple of nights in San Fran before we flew home. Fun thing to do.

DH gets 5 weeks vacation each year although there is some issue with 3 days of it....I'm not sure what it is exactly. He is also senior enough that he gets pretty much the exact schedule he wants every month and if not, is usually able to drop whatever trip he doesn't like. The majority of our travel doesn't even happen during his vacation time, he just arranges his schedule to have whatever time off he wants. He officially had Dec 6-19 off, but was actually off from Nov 21- Dec 26 with no reduction in pay. Forgot to make my point...in spite of having pretty much complete control of his schedule, DH was bitching about the 3 days in question.

My Uggs leaked and now my socks are wet.
After Christmas, I had to figure out what to do with leftover crab legs and prime rib.
I have to call Verizon to get international calling and data put on the cell phones for our upcoming trip. oh, that one's easy I think. You store them in your coach bag, right? Right?

This year, THE tallest kid in the whole school is a senior. Yup, he wore a giraffe costume. That kid will go far in life with his well-developed sense of humor.

I've run out of counter space and have no where to put my new professional model Kitchenaid mixer I got for Christmas. Ugh! I know! To fit the new Pro 600 Design Kitchen Aid I got, I had to move my Keurig over by my microwave, which meant I had to move the plant I had next to the microwave. Now, almost two months after I got the larger KitchenAid, I still don't know where to put the plant. Plus, the original (Classic) KitchenAid is in the linen closet waiting until it gets to move out with DD#2 next summer. Just ridiculous.

It is so hard to keep 3 smart phones charged on our car trip to Florida. 3 smart phone surfers and one charger in the car. Maybe I need to buy one of those extra battery chargers. It will come in useful on my trip to Europe in 2 weeks

DH's aunt keeps sending us Williams-Sonoma gift cards for Christmas. We now have $400 in W-S gift cards and I have no idea what to buy with them. Turkey gravy. My sister gave me some from there once, it was yummy. Some of the other food stuff she gave me was too strong for my sensitive taste buds but others may like it. Can't you also use them at Pottery Barn? She works at PB and can shop in either with her discount. That would probably be more appealing if I wasn't a vegetarian I think the real problem is that WS is so overpriced that it's hard to feel we're getting good value for the money...even if it isn't our money directly.

Since the surprise is ruined, I'll bite the bullet and go to Costa Rica if you need someone to take the trip off your hands.

Such sad curcumstances for some of you.
Makes me want to play some appropriately melancholy music but my tiny violin popped a tiny string. ;-)
