Yes, I saw this at Target THIS very week...

Do you think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves?

So, Nashville is out of gasoline.

Since Friday....

I am fortunate to drive a diesel (apparently nobody else does), besides I walk to work.  
  

I especially liked the people making political statements...that shirt is priceless.  I am not sure how voting for Obama is going to help us get more gas right now.  So, it wasn't the hurricane that is causing our shortage...it is the Republicans? Maybe I am missing something?

If you don't, you should

For the past couple years I have been a fan of the radio show "This American Life"

If you don't already listen, you should.  Each week they have a free broadcast (you can subscribe on iTunes).  There is a theme to each show and they talk about pretty much every subject you could imagine from breakups to racism to the recent mortgage crisis to working in a diner (one of my recent favorites was a story of two girls switched at birth...crazy...true).  I love it because these are real life situations and the storytelling is phenomenal.  I look forward to the new episode each week and I have found some favorites on their internet archive of past episodes (you can listen for free).  

"This American Life" has a television series that I have yet to see, but I will as soon as the DVD comes out.  

why?!

I was about to open a new bottle of my face wash and the top wouldn't unscrew.  I swear it's happened to me before.  Am I missing something?...I am twisting it in the right direction, you know the way the arrow points.  This has been the bane of my existence for the last couple of days....until tonight I realized that I hadn't taken out my bathroom trash...the top off the old one works just fine....ha!  Take that Johnson & Johnson!

Mouse Print

Has anyone else noticed the shrinking containers at the grocery store?  

Mouse Print is a great resource to find out exactly how and on what we are getting less of for our money.  

The above cereal boxes for example appear the same from the front but one contains less.  Sneaky.  

Me at 3

My dad just sent this to me.  This picture has always made me laugh.  I am pretty sure there was never a kid with larger cheeks.
