you've missed me griping about arkansas drivers haven't you?  well HAVE NO FEAR...the long wait is over!

this is my bumper...and no, it wasn't my fault.  but i do have to pay a $250 deductible since the guy nailed into me and sped off. sooooo....that was pretty cool.  someday i'll miss this town.  right now?  not so much.

if you wanna lose a quick 10 pounds, go dairy and gluten free for 2 weeks!  if you wanna try fake cheese, DON'T.  i melted some on our refried beans tonight and quickly decided i'll take no cheese over this garbage.  do you see how gross that looks?  it tasted worse.  it was gummy and nutty, and not normal.

i've been eating kinda-sorta food for the past few days and i gotta tell ya, it's not worth kinda-sorta eating a pizza on a gluten-free crust with no cheese.  there's no satisfaction in it.  blah.

i have, however found a scrumptious alternative to ice cream that is gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan...all that crap!  yay for coconut milk ice cream y'all!  there IS hope!!

how many computers are in your home?  i bet it's half the amount that are in mine!  we have two cell phones, austin's ipad for work, the desktop, two laptops and the newly purchased tablet.  that's seven forms of computer access people.  seven.  what.the.crap. why?

and another thing...what are we doing to Christmas?  did someone send a mass email to all retail stores small and large that THIS was the year for black friday to turn into a weeks long event?  WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON???  how long before we're celebrating all year long?  or not at all?
