That’s Right, You’re On Notice!

The Joy of Gelato

Or to be more specific, Banana Stracciatella.  I’m a girl who loves chocolate covered frozen bananas, and this stuff tastes just like a chocolate covered banana, but without the annoying part of me eating all of the chocolate first.  It’s banana gelato with slivers of chocolate in it.  It’s so delicious that it’s the only dessert-y thing I ever want for the rest of my life.  Or for this month at least.  I’ve never had gelato before - never really cared either.  We went to our new Capriotti’s to get an amazing Italian sub, and it just so happens that right next door was a new gelato place - Gelato Cafe.  Somewhere where we could kill a couple of minutes (and $10!) while our sammie was being made.  It was the best couple o’ minute killing ever.  Seriously, Banana Stracciatella - deliciousness in a paper to-go container.

Dear Gelato Cafe, please don’t go out of business like my bubble tea place did.  Love, Flippy

Idiot of the Day - Joe Lieberman

Dear Joe, you lost.  The Democratic Party of Connecticut has spoken.  Go away now.  I didn’t like you when Al Gore picked you as his running mate (I tried, I’m a Jew, I wanted to like you), and I really despise you now.  I can’t even stand listening to your whiny voice.  The “war” was a mistake.  We’ve spent a hundred million gazillion dollars attacking a country that did NOTHING to us.  We could’ve used that money to fight the actual terrorists.  Or, you know, to maybe feed poor Americans or give them healthcare or something.  If you want to suck up to the Bush Administration, then become a Republican.  I promise we won’t miss you.  Goodbye.

Why I’m Not Voting for Geoffrey VanderPal for NV State Treasurer

Too many font changes.  Too many glaring spelling errors.  Poor grammar.  Odd sentence structure.  Doofus.  Plus, I’m not voting for a financial planner who filed for personal bankruptcy.  I know that sometimes bad things happen beyond our control (for instance, doctors/surgery centers charging $14,000 each for some worthless shots), but I think those of us who have our own debts shouldn’t be handling the state’s money.  He may be a lovely man and an excellent financial planner, but bad spelling/grammar and a bankruptcy makes me choose the prim sounding knitting lady.  Also, I find her ten year old daughter kind of charming in a “I can relate” way. Anna’s other passions are science and finding excuses not to do homework.  Some of her latest excuses are:  “It’s Monday, and I don’t have any really important homework until Thursday.” “It’s Wednesday and the week is really long in the middle.” “The teacher went over it so much in class I can’t even remember what I am supposed to study, and anyway I know it all.” “Can I have a snack?”

Birth Week is Now Over

But birth MONTH has just barely begun.  Whoo hoo!  I kid, I won’t subject you to that.  What I will subject you to is all that I accomplished during birth week.  Not only did we do our mad partying at the sushi buffet, but we also got the oil changed on the car, got the car washed, I voted, got an eye exam, ordered glasses because I can’t read fine print anymore, and made some promise to Belinda O., the optician at Wal-Mart (it was either there or a long drive to the mall - I chose the closer of the two evils), that I can’t remember.  I’ve never ever wanted to wear glasses...until I couldn’t see anymore.  I can’t wait until my new specs come in.  Maybe the eyestrain headaches will disappear.  At least I hope that’s what’s causing my recent headaches.  We’ll know, at the latest, on Friday.
