Things I Just Don't Understand and Various Tangents

My kids love Raisin Bran. Actually, so do I. It's delicious. However, I am forced to pick out the raisins as they eat their cereal. Yes, I have tried to buy the Bran version...you know, without the raisins? And they won't touch the stuff and it sits in my cupboard for months.

You know what else sits in my cupboards for months? Pringles Baked Wheat STIX. I saw those the other day and was wondering when I bought them. I'm pretty sure it was right after I moved to Boise when Austin was 3 MONTHS OLD. They expired in June of 2008, so that pretty much confirmed my theory.

I think they've been discontinued because I looked for them on Amazon and you can buy a pack of 6 for about $40. That's over $6 for a box. Apparently Pringles are a good investment. And what I mean by "good investment" is "better than that house we bought" good. You know what I wish I invested in? Cinnamon Wheat Thins. And Microsoft....when I was 4.

One more thing I don't understand. Why do people have Kitchenaids? They're at least $100. And I'm pretty sure those hand mixers only cost $3 and you get a lifetime supply of them at your wedding. Yes you may have to stand in one place for 2 minutes while you mix something up, but that is certainly worth $97.

You know what else is worth $97? A lifetime supply of wasted raisins from my kid's cereal so that they'll actually eat their breakfast.

P.S. The Pringles went back in my cupboard.

Nice! I don't own a kitchenaide. I am the proud owner of a handheld mixer (that I used last night to make cookies and thus ruined my diet). Although I do keep trying to win a kitchenaide from www.thepioneerwoman.com just for the sake of winning one.

You want to win one so you can sell it right? An ipod would make me so much happier than a kitchenaid (or a Bosch for that matter) even though I already have an ipod.

One thing I don't understand? Why are you googling your pringles? We never see any pictures of your kids anymore. Do you still have them?

Ya, I've never wanted a kitchenaid. I think that people get those so that when people see it in their kitchen they assume that they are some fabulous cook. However, you don't really cook when you have one, it does all the hard work! Whatever...

Frist-I gave Averi some Lucky charms for the frist time, and IMMEDIATELY she starting eating ONLY the marshmellows.

Second-I LOVE my kitchen Aid!! (it was free for me) but I have been making frosting and other things from scratch latly, and some recipes have you add stuff in it while mixing.

Third- When I moved out I took some top roman from moms, later found out that it had exp. in 2002 YUCK! so you get that from mom, I guess.
