That entry made me think for a moment about guilt. My own opinion of guilt is that if people did not feel guilt, then they would do a lot of bad things. I think that guilt is a gift. Kind of like our own Jiminy Cricket. Helps to keep us from making jackasses out of ourselves, you know what I mean?

With my prize tucked safely in the car, getting ready to head home, I called Chad and told him that I was on my way home with the Caramel Praline Crunch ice cream that we love so much, and he cheered “awesome!” I asked him to please be ready to help me bring groceries in the house in twenty minutes (I ended up buying some porterhouse steaks on sale and some hamburger and some pork tenderloin too.) He was ready and waiting to hustle the food into the house and dish us out some of the coveted ice cream. Tonight, life was good.

I don’t even have any pastry bags, and I’m wondering if I should go out and buy some, or if there is a quick and easy way to make one ourselves from parchment paper or coffee filters. I’ll have to spend some time online to research that. Have you done anything like that before? How did you do it?

What I think is so awesome about this website is that it encompasses almost anything you could think of. There is a huge variety – it is almost as if you don’t have to go to any other website to find what you need.

You can start out looking at pool sweeper reviews so that you can make an informed suggestion to the sister that is putting in a new swimming pool, you can order an automotive ammeter for that hot-rod builder husband (why exactly why that is an important thing to have in a car I’m really not sure. I know it measures electricity. Hmmm… maybe it helps you figure out if there is a drain on the battery so you know you need to get to a repair shop right away because your car is about to die!)

And you can research baby walkers for girls to see which one would be the safest and most user-friendly one to give to that pregnant niece that you need to buy a baby-shower gift for. That site truly is a one-stop shopping tool, and I’m really glad to see that the Internet is becoming a more useful instrument in helping us to live our lives to the fullest by getting the best value for our dollars!

Whichever it would be, I was a little annoyed at having to stop what I was doing to answer the phone and deal with someone who was not welcome to intrude on my time.

Well, surprise! The caller was an old high school buddy who had just found my Facebook page and was able to find my phone number. She was calling just to say “Hi” and to reconnect with an old friend. It turns out that I was very glad to hear from her and we had a wonderful long conversation.

It looked like it was a lot of fun, but let me tell you this, I don’t know if my poor body would be able to take it! I do agree that it would be great exercise and probably would lead to some much needed weight loss, so I agreed to take a few classes with her. I hope it doesn’t kill me!

Gina hasn’t filled me in on all of the details, but from what I understand Tim was the unwitting driver of a getaway car when some of his school chums decided to rob a convenience store. Exactly HOW someone can be the unwitting driver of a getaway car is beyond my understanding, but that is their story and they are sticking to it. So now Gina has to come up with the money to hire a los angeles criminal defense lawyer to keep Tim from going to prison.

I told Gina that I’d help her try to find cheap airfare for her to be able to fly out there if she decides that is what she wants to do, but I don’t know if she is going to be able to afford the airfare and a lawyer.

Somehow I suspect that when that is all over with that maybe Tim won’t be going to school out there anymore. It’s a real mess.

It is that time again folks, time to talk all about my immense love for Modern Family.  Of course this week that I am inspired to write about it they show a rerun, but that’s okay!  That is why we have directv whole home dvr DVR so we can record and delete on a whim.  We know that they need their down time to let their creative minds wander to come up with more and more crazy shenanigans for us to watch every week.  Phil and Claire Dunphy are for me the perfect couple.  They are a more realistic couple as compared with some that they show on tv these days.  I like how they fight and make up and then fight with their kids and then make up again.  They have problems and funny things happen just like any real family would.  I really could go without Sophia Vergara’s voice on this show because sometimes it really starts to get on my nerves but I think it does suit her character’s personality so at least that works for them.
