1. A letter:
Dear Corporate America,
I realize that variety packs are neat and all, but why can I not purchase items in a stand-alone fashion (i.e. without being forced to buy other flavors, which in my case go completely to waste)? For example, why can't I buy:
- Only tangerine flavored jello packs?
- Only banana laffy taffy?
- Only peaches and cream Quaker oatmeal?
- Only sour apple jolly ranchers?
I don't want the other flavors - they taste like they came from the dentist's office.
Sincerely,
Laura
2. Tim finds it patently unacceptable that my sisters and I use our toes to pick up small items off the floor. I have asked him to produce evolutionary or religious evidence to suggest that this is not included in the measure of their creation, but he has, so far, failed to do so.
3. I was born with a very strong sense of smell. This has been magnified lately, and I cannot help but shutter at the smelly world in which we live. 24 hours a day, I am tormented not only by the squalid details of living in a city (urine, vomit, people who don't so much shower every month), but also by the smells of "unscented" products like soap, deodorant, lotion, and water. Sick. Can't somebody invent a de-smellifier? I already tried nose plugs, but they severely impeded my ability to breathe through my nose.
4. Tim made Canadian Thanksgiving dinner last night. We invited Cami's family, his sister Jen's family, and his mother. The children all played nicely together (I've never seen such frightening aligators, cougars, killer turtles, and snakes in my life), and Cami didn't pull Tim's sister's hair. Even once. So I guess we're all friends.

I'm not sure about all the other stuff, but I do know one thing for sure, I would have enjoyed Tim's Canadian Thanksgiving dinner!
If Tim wants to see some serious toe action he should see me use mine. I can play the piano with my little piggys. They are VERY long.
You have an error, I will fix it...
sincerly,
Laura AND Sarah
You always have had a very strong sense of smell... I remember you asked me once if I'd ever smelled a squished earwig, and it grossed me out.:) You make me laugh Lar, I love it/you!
1. And red skittles, pink starbursts, and mango mambas.
2. Let's evolve together: I'm getting us all one of these for Christmas.
3. You could try creating a gel from febreeze that would block your sensors up your nose when you rub it on your membranes. I'm going to patent it. Let's hope it doesn't cause death. Maybe you should wait until after the monkey trials.
4. CT (Canadian Thanksgiving) was ever so delicious and delightful-I enjoyed giving thanks for Canadians like Neil Young, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, and Rick Morranis. I ate leftover pumpkin and apple pie this morning. The pumpkin pie almost brought me to tears because is was so perfectly sweetened, spiced, and textured. Bravo, Tim, Bravo.
1. I am happy to report that banana laffy taffy can, in fact, be purchased separately from the other flavors. See here. These things can usually be purchased at Costco, Sam's, BJs and the like.
2. I dare say that Tim is wrong about that. But I would not be willing to say that you his face.
3. My mother has the same problem and the same complaints. I don't have anything to add other than that.
:) As usual, you crack me up! I agree - variety packs stink. I've frequently thought that - thanks for putting voice to the thoughts.
They do sell air neutralizing spray at Target. But...it may be just as good as "unscented" (meaning...not good).
Hmmm...Thanksgiving. YUM! Did I mention I'm going home to Seattle for Thanksgiving? :) Sorry, can't get it out of my mind.
Stinky earwigs! I had forgotten you were our live-in bloodhound in years gone by! You also have eyes that are very sensitive to light. I know because you left your sunglasses in the back pocket of the 4runner (see Michael, I spelled that right)! Someday you will find a use for all of your talents.
I did feel quite badly that I couldn't attend the Canadian Thanksgiving. It sounded quite yummy! Of course anything that Tim creates is worth a trip to Boston!
Laura, your blog posts make a boring day fun. I'm sad I missed Canadian Thanksgiving this year. Last year it was the highlight of October. I feel your pain. for me bad eyes = excellent nose.
