Foot Binding Anyone?

Note to reader: This may be upsetting!

Dear Ladies of Japan, IMO, this does not look cute.


This looks like it hurts. How do you massage your feet?

How on Earth do you walk?

This is what your feet SHOULD look like! IMO!

The Arizona Diamondbacks

This is my favorite team. I thought I'd do a post about them in hopes that they start having better luck.

I had this picture in my sidebar for a while but the Cubs swept us so I took it out. Come on guys, you can win games on the road!

Not Everyone Was Born With Common Sense

Caution! This might be the post that makes me lose all of my readers.

This has been bothering me for a long time now and I'm finally going to blog about it. Every week I run most of my errands in one day. I can make up to 10 stops to pay bills, etc. on this one day. My last errand stop is at a store where they wear blue shirts and khaki pants. I can fill one cart with over $200.00 worth of weekly items in 45 minutes if some of you would just follow the rules of the road with your shopping cart.

Now, I know that you don't need a license to drive a shopping cart, but you should!
Driving a shopping cart is just like driving a car! Follow the same rules of the road when you are driving a shopping cart in a store, please!

There is enough room in a single aisle for two way traffic. Drive your cart as if you were driving your car on the road. The same rules apply but some of you can't seem to remember that other people are shopping too.

Just last week, I was stuck behind some lady reading the nutritional facts on a box of 100 calorie snacks. She was blocking traffic in both directions. I wanted to say "Hey lady, it's great that the only thing you have to do today is read the nutritional facts on a box of, basically AIR but I have to put all this shit away when I get home, put clothes in the dryer, wash more loads of laundry, wash the dishes from dinner, fold and put away all the laundry that's on my bed before the sun goes down because, well, that's where I like to sleep at night, so could you please stop blocking the entire aisle because the only thing that you've taught me by blocking my way is that I need to file my cracked heals and that's just one more thing that I have to do today."

Instead, I waited 30 seconds which seemed like 3 minutes because she was not wearing anything clever for me to read on the back of her shirt and I said "Excuse me?" I should have said "buy a bag of carrots go home and eat some because those 100 calorie snacks are not as good for you as carrots!" Plus, we should all know by now what carrots are made of.

People, please help me spread the word. If your going to shop anywhere, I don't care if the employees wear red shirts, blue shirts or black shirts, please follow the rules of the road if your driving a shopping cart. Because I'm thinking about getting a bicycle horn to put on the cart that I'm currently using and I'm thinking about using it!

Suebob's post from yesterday made me think of this. Check out her site atRed Stapler. I feel much better! Thanks Suebob!

Yes, I know mean people suck and I will try my best not to be one!

This Is Just Our Luck!

Hubby was given a used pool by a friend, for our kids summer pleasure.

It's 16 by 3 feet. We filled it with water but the ring at the top wasn't holding air. We found the leak and everything is great, right? No! It's supposed to rain for FOUR days this week.

Do you know how much fun it is to get the water off of a pool cover? It's not much fun.

The fun part of all of this will be when I get my water bill, which usually runs over $70.00 a month for just showers, washing clothes and dishes. I'm sure it'll be double what it usually is next month!

But just look at those smiles. Can you put a price on that?

Go see it! I think you'll like it! I loved the costumes and the story was good too!
