Randomness

You may have noticed that I updated my blog layout a little bit. I think it looks cleaner and neater. Let me know what you think!

On to the Randomness...

My digital cooking thermometer insists that water boils at 210 degrees Fahrenheit.

When I asked Mr. A if two of his friend were dating each other replied, “Yea, sorta. But they’re not Facebook official.” Apparently, if you change your relationship status on Facebook, THEN it’s official.

Mr. A has a friend that drives him around. She only live a few blocks away and they often go the same places… swim practice, the movies, school activities, birthday parties, etc. It’s never out of her way to take Mr. A but I still feel like I should give her some money for gas. In the grocery store I stopped to look at the gift cards. G-Man asked what I was looking for so I told him. He thought about it for a second and then said, “So you want to give her a gas gift card instead of cash. That way you know she’s buying gas and not shoes.” At age 14 he has girls figured out.

Before shopping for cars we discussed what type of vehicle we'd like to get. My Sweetie asked me if I'd like a pick-up truck. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow and told him, "I don't think Molly (our Great Dane princess) is the pick-up bed kind of girl."

On my way to work this morning I noticed an out-of-shape 40-something woman jogging through the neighborhood with a very fit 30-something man. I thought to myself, "Oh cool! She's hired a personal trainer." Then I stopped myself. Why did I automatically assume that the only reason those two would be together is if the woman was paying the man. Why couldn't they be dating or even married? If the roles were reversed, the couple would be readily accepted. Or why couldn't they be neighbors who decided to work out together?

Mr. A wants me to tell everyone that he invented Kindle in kindergarten... sorta. In kindergarten he thought of the concept of an e-reader. His primary thought was that it could download the newspaper everyday and save paper. I told him that the initial investment of the device would probably make it financially impractical. What the heck was I talking about? I probably should have dragged his happy little butt to the patent office. But most likely we would have been too late anyway since the idea has been around for decades. I remember watching an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Capt. Picard was reading a novel on an e-reader.

Recently I saw a green Kia Sol going down the road. I was surprised when I realized that people were in the car rather than hamsters.

My Sweetie gave me a choo-choo shaped silly band that he found. Does that mean we’re going steady? We’re already Facebook official but has our relationship status been bumped up a notch?
