Re: Chit Chat for Thursday
Sarah,
My 8th grade PE coach was the best. He wouldn't make us dress out during that time. It was awesome!!!!
Matchy kids are cute. I'll agree with that.
I agree on matchy matchy e-pics and flame me, but I feel the same way about matchy matchy family photos. Sorry if that offends anyone.
I do like matchy kids, though. So cute.
Um, matching family photos are right up there with matching E-pics for me. Match the little kids. Little. Not like, 10 year olds. Don't match yourselves. Coordinate.
No offense to anyone for what about I'm about to say. But the matching family photos in bluebonnets blown up above the mantel make me want to puke.
I actually agree with anti-matchy family photos... HOWEVER, my MIL had pictures taken on Mother's Day of the whole family, and they were her gift... so she got to chose what we wore. Hence, the matching.
Haters.

I wish I had had a coach like that! Ours didn't care at all. Don't they understand that during the time you just don't feel like doing PE?? :-p

LOL. I think it is super cute when boys (of all ages) match in family photos. Not the girls though. If that makes any sense.
Complete randomness but on Monday we went to the store and I passed a dad and son (couldn't have been older than 5) and the dad told the kid "Son, you don't need to talk to everyone you see. Leave them alone and let them do their shopping." And the kid was turned around with his arms open and with this look that said "But I haven't said anything to her though."
Then on Tuesday we saw a guy with a hospital gown and an IV with the tubes but no stand, carrying a suitcase. The mental health facility was down the road.
Aww that made me laugh!
Another random thing, but Jaymi- you are in a lot of our wedding photos! And in the wedding highlights video :-)

1.) Julie I want your lollipop
2.) Re: matching anything annoys me. Brianna wasn't it you talking about matching mom and kid a few weeks back. That made me LOL
3.) I haven't been able to fall asleep the past two nights. Tuesday night I saw 4:45am and last night I fell asleep at 2am. I'm exhausted but I feel like my mind is racing too much to let me sleep. needless to say this has led to no motivation to get up and workout in the mornings. I need to get my mind straight.
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
Yes, it was me. I was in line at McDonalds (placating my child with a happy meal with apples, not fries... haha), and I look over a lady getting her two little girls out of the car. They had to be 3ish and 6ish. They both had dog ears (you know, the high pig tails on each side)... AND SO DID SHE!!!! They all had on blue tie dye shirts and shorts too...
Oh h-to-tha-no lady!

Maybe they were playing dress up and just ran to McDonald's really quickly. Because the fact that it would have been real is just too much for me to believe.
Aw, I'm sorry
We tried to avoid it, obviously not good enough, LOL. You can edit us out if you want 
if you haven't already.
Bwahahahaha. Klassy!
Haha no that's not a bad thing! You're in the dancing photos! It's cute! :-)

This.
Or maybe in their house they have "let you kid pick your outfit day"
Sounds like something a family may dress as for like a competition or reunion or something else that requires tackiness.
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
For the sake of my brain, I hope it was just dress up. I can't wrap my mind around dressing like that.

Veggie straws are amazing!!!!
Their kind of like chips,except they are square hollow tubes like a straw. They are "healthful" (though I wouldn't consider them that healthy, perhaps better than other chips though) and they taste kind of like french fries. 35 chips only have like 130 calories....and that is a pretty big portion size.
I've only ever found them at Costco.
I think you're right on the Costco part, that's where we used to get them from.
Bio Good Times
SO, SO good!!! I buy mine at Sam's and they also have Apple Straws. My mom and sister can eat them as apart of WW and they have found BBQ flavored at Kroger.
They are made from potato, tomato, and spinach but I definitely wouldn't say that they are a good source of your daily vegetable serving. Yes they may only be 130 calories, but 60 of those calories come from fat. It's better than eating a lays potato chip, but it's still not the greatest nutrition source for daily veggies.
Ah, gotcha.
