I love gummy bears. When I was on my mission, a small candy store opened in Maseru, Lesotho that sold American gummy bears. Sure, they were insanely expensive, but I bought them anyway because I love gummy bears.
Last night I was in class and one of my friends mentioned how a half-pound gummy bear exists. And to make it even better, it’s on a stick! That’s right, there is a gummy bear on a stick that weighs a half of a pound. The gummy bear on a stick measures in at four inches tall and is the equivalent of 88 regular gummy bears. What’s not to like about that? The answer: nothing.
Since I know a few people who are currently looking for work, I thought that I would post this short video that is sure to help everyone in their job interviews. If you question just how well it can help you, I have just two words for you: it’s Batman. Are you saying that Batman cannot help you? Because if you are, that’s just sad and you’re very, very wrong.
On an unrelated note, I know that our poor blog has been somewhat neglected for the past few weeks. I’m seriously hoping to change that. Since school has started up again though, I’m experiencing a serious time crunch. The fact that I actually work at work isn’t helping either. (I hate it when work gets in the way of my blogging.) I have a few changes in store that will be explained when they happen so please keep coming back, or better yet, add us to your RSS feed so you can know when they happen.
Well, the whole family is finally recovered from the swine flu. When all was said and done, it had run rampant through our home for nigh on two weeks leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. In addition to taking down Alex and Emma, both Hannah and Holly got hit pretty hard too. Thankfully everything is now back to normal and everyone survived.
I was fortunate in that I managed to avoid becoming ill. I’ve since been exposed to the swine flu virus again at work (allegedly) and still feel fine. Either my immune system is freaking amazing or I’m doing something right because I’ve had multiple encounters with swine flu and come out on top every single time. Since I seem to be so lucky, I thought I’d share what has worked for me so that it can hopefully help you, my faithful reader, stay healthy.
A lot has happened since I was laid off. Fortunately, everyone is doing well. I just haven’t had a chance to post anything despite having a backlog of things to post. Until I am able to get a few free moments to sit down and write some updates, enjoy this very funny video for a disturbing eyelash product.
I’ve been extremely conflicted today about what I should post. Should I post the so awesome it’s beyond awesome video for The Ballad of G.I. Joe or should I do something more family related since this, as the website name would imply, a family blog. After much deliberation, I’ve decided to tell everyone about Hannah’s new bedroom. For those who really wanted to know what the Joes do after hours, visit my other site, Stolen Droids, to check out the coolest thing you’ll see today.
Last week we were at Home Depot returning a few things that didn’t get used in our various summer projects. While we were there, Holly decided that she wanted to check out paint samples because we’ve been talking about painting the inside of the house. Because Hannah’s new bunk bed has been taking up space in the garage, we determined that her room would be the first to get a makeover. After checking out a few samples, it was decided that Hannah would get pink and purple walls with a Disney Princesses wallpaper border. She was so excited that she couldn’t hardly wait for it to be done. (When I say she, I could be referring to either Holly or Hannah. I’m not sure who was more excited.)
Yesterday Holly and I were chatting about our plans for the evening. At the time, there was nothing scheduled so I assumed we’d be working on one of our various projects. A few minutes later, my boss came into the office asking who wanted four tickets to the Ogden Raptors game. Since we didn’t have anything planned, I jumped at the chance to take the family to the ballpark.
We decided that since it was such sort notice that I would go home and get the family and then we would get dinner at the game. I’m normally not a big fan of hot dogs but I love eating one when I’m watching a baseball game in person. There is just something about ballpark dogs with mustard and relish that I love. Unfortunately Holly tainted mine with a few drops of ketchup but I was able to wipe it off with minimal damage to the rest of the hot dog. Holly and the Hannah had nachos, Alex and Emma had pretzels, and everyone shared some popcorn. It was basically Jenny Craig’s worst nightmare realized but it was ballpark food and we were at the ballpark so it was OK.
This video is definitely the strangest thing that I’ve seen today. It’s a commercial for a furniture store in High Point, North Carolina. Push play and you’ll understand.
I have been wanting to write some stuff for a few days but my statistics homework has monopolized my time. I’ll eventually get around to posting some new content that will leave you in awe but until then, enjoy a bit of a history regarding our national debt.
I’ve posted enough about death on this site over the past few months. There’s no need for me to post more about the subject now. It is tax time though and, as the saying goes, “something something death and taxes”.
Holly and I will usually get a good tax return. I found out earlier this week that this year will be no different. We had originally planned on taking the kids to Disneyland and buying a 52″ LCD television for the basement. Given the current economic situation, we have decided to be a bit more responsible and pay bills. We’re also going to buy some food storage and a few other “responsible” items but it’s not going to be all fun and games like we had originally planned. I’m a bit bummed that I’m going to have to wait for my new TV but I’ll deal with it. I’d much rather be able to defend myself with a full tummy during the inevitable robot uprising than watch 24 in high-definition. (If I keep telling myself that, I might eventually believe it.)
