Yes. Back to the subject of Mexican Jumping Beans. Did anyone have the time to check out the web site I posted? Well, if not just type in jumping beans as your search and you will get lots of great info. See, my co-worker came home from her vacation at Rosarita Beach and brought us all gifts. They were little clear plastic boxes of beans. Cool! I needed one of those. I set it on my desk. They (actually the little bug inside) jumped and jumped and jumped, making little clicking noises (kind of like the sound people make when they are snapping the little clip thing on a pen). Finally, when everyone in the office was about to go nuts, we put them in our desk drawers and forgot about them. I got curious a few days later and decided to open one up. Yep! Little gross bug inside. By the next day, he had covered himself in a cocoon. I guess he didn’t like his invasion of privacy. Anyway, it’s been about 3 weeks now, and no one is jumping anymore. I think I have a mass Mexican Jumping Bean grave site in my desk drawer. I was thinking of examining the remains, but I’m not really that interested. It’s disrespectful to disturb the dead anyway. Right?

I'm not saying it's the best breakfast sandwich EVER, because ever hasn't happened yet, but so far... the award goes to Allison's Country Cafe. Now, I don't eat there often (only once before this morning) because I am against "home town snobbery" and all my grown-up life I have heard people name drop about the owners of Allisons, and whoop-dee-doo, I went to high school with so and so, and all the native Venturans eat there, and yada yada yada. It's kind of like "trendy" in reverse. Anyway, I gave my mom a ride to the hospital this morning and my awesome daughter in law, Kristi, came too. Then, when there was nothing to do but wait, we decided to eat breakfast out. Allisons is near the hospital so... you get the idea.

Here's the rundown: Egg, Bacon (Kristi had turkey sausage) Cheese, Tomatoe, real Avocado, very thinly sliced Red Onion on a , GET THIS, freshly made flaky warm biscuit roll! Roll over McMuffin, Allison's is in town!

If I were you, I'd give it a try! Really friendly people in there, too!

Yes, its time to put the SCRIBBLE technique to rest. You know what I'm talking about, don't you? Most Mainstream Americans (except those who had Mrs. Harrison for Grammar) grow up thinking that when they make a mistake while writing (in pen) that the reasonable thing to do is scribble, scribble, scribble, scribble until all the reader can see when looking at the whole page is this big blarring blob of scribble! Forget what ever else is on the page. Your eye can't get away from that hideous mess. This applies to anything from shopping lists to job applications.

So "One Line Thru" day has been established to heighten public awareness of the new visually UN-offensive technique of simply drawing ONE horizontal line through your mistake. Of course, if you are one of those people who accidentally writes your REAL SS# on your I-9 form for work, and realize that you meant to write the FALSE one that you bought from that guy down at the corner by the tattoo parlor, then I can see how the scribble technique must be implemented. So for you we celebrate our new Home Land Security Act! The INS guys will be visiting you soon.

Don't forget to mark your calendars for "National Don't Use Your Spit to Wet Your Fingers When Sorting Someone Else's Pages Before You Set Them On Their Desk Day". Does it seem like I have work related "issues'?

Hi People!
I have a blog now. Funny, huh?! Are you happy at me?
