maybe i'll work at scatland

canned!

today.  i was.  

shoot.

for the birds...

my mom and I arrived to miami to find that my dad (who was here for a week already) had done some grocery shopping and purchased this product:

I asked my dad to put on his glasses and showed him the label on the back with these ingredients:

Whole wheat flour, water, wheat gluten, high fructose corn syrup, soybean oil, salt, molasses, yeast, mono and diglycerides, exthoxylated mono and diglycerides, dough conditioners (sodium stearoyl lactylate, calcium iodate, calcium dioxide) (is this like pantene pro-v for bread so healthy it shines?), datem, calcium sulfate, vinegar, yeast nutrient (ammonium sulfate), extracts of malted barley and corn, dicalcium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, calcium propionate .

He was pretty repulsed so we decided to feed the rest of the package to the seagulls on the beach the next day.

it was so fun!

we all scream for sunscreen...

remember this? i just thought of how maybe this time in miami i'll take his advice.

what do you get....

if you cross a chemical and a bicycle?

BIKE CARBONATE OF SODA.

Which Elizabethan Sailor could stop bikes?

SIR FRANCIS BRAKES!

Your reaction to those jokes--whether you rolled your eyes or laughed so hard you snarfed -- is because your brain is functioning properly. To continue operating as the incredible human being you are (with so many people that love you dearly), I IMPLORE you to wear a helmet while biking to protect your fragile brains.

stop thinking your hairdo is more imporant than your brain-do.

stop saying, "but I bike carefully" because accidents happen.

and I promise you won't develop an underbite from wearing a helmet.  pick a cool one!

WEAR A HELMET.  IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

“I am sorry” sighed the tree. “I wish that I could give you something…  but I have nothing left. I am just an old stump. I am sorry…”

–”I don’t need very much now” said the boy. “just a quiet place to sit and rest. I am very tired”

 –“Well” said the tree, straightening herself up as much as she could, “well, an old stump is good for sitting and resting. Come, Boy, sit down…and rest.”

 

And the tree was happy...

roof access for lunch...

with a large side of sunshine, please!

eleanor loves hammies

i met eleanor in mr. gelman's 6th grade math class at E. Brooke Lee Middle School.  she was cool because she had a wallet chain and her mom let her go to HFStival. the first time i went to her house, her dog Dodger bit my leg really hard. she's still extremely cool; living in San Francisco with her pilot boyfriend Benn and the other apple of her eye, Howard. 

the way she talks about and e-mails her friends and family with hamster updates is so cute!

  long live howard!

A helping of yelping

Have you yelped yet?

It's fun. It's free. It's consumer empowerment at it's finest.

And I got the "Review of the Day" for the Philly community today!

It's not all just restaurants either--it's doctors, hotels, services and the list goes on!

Got something to say about a local business? Good and bad--don't be shy, just yelp!

sock puppet Sunday at Tattooed Mom's followed quite possibly the most beautiful weekend of my life.
