Just another thing for the world to be offended about…..

Target came out with a “Bridal” line of t-shirts and one t-shirt is making headlines.

Introducing the “Trophy” wife shirt:

trophyHonestly, we could get all “feministic” (yes I made that word up) on many levels but I’ll just keep it simple and say;

I’m mad there isn’t a mens line. I would love one for my husband!

Do frogs give you warts?

This little guy was chillin’ in our pool and stayed on the noodle when the kids put him on.

Joey made sure no one touched it because “frogs give you warts”

Well Joey no need to fear! You can hold them all you want!

Animal Myths Busted

Can you ignore a screaming child?

I’ll be the first to admit I can’t stand screaming kids. As a previous diner owner, I absolutely couldn’t stand the sound of a screaming child. Now, if I had to listen to 45 minutes of it, I honestly don’t know what I would have said to the parent. I probably wouldn’t have said anything and gave a dirty look. I understand the whole “different parenting approach” parents are taking these days but some things gotta give.

 

I raise my children with discipline and yes, it starts as early as 2 years old. Take your screaming child outside the restaurant and handle it. No one wants to hear your screaming child while you’re browsing on your smart phone.

 

Parenting approach:

Do you ignore your screaming child in a public place and let it continue for ever?

OR

Do you discipline your child and make it stop?

What do you do?

Public restrooms are gross no matter how you look at it.

So when you have to use the public restroom, do you actually sit on the toilet?

Some people make a HUGE deal out of it and layer the seat like crazy!

What do you do?

We live in America right? Not for nothin…..

Last time I checked we drove on the right side of the road in this country right?

So why is it when I’m driving down a narrow street and the person coming towards me is hugged all the way to their left and then they have to swerve so they don’t hit ME head on?  AND I get a dirty look like I did something wrong?

 

As Joey C says:

keep

 

Drive on your side of the road!

 

 

 

Massage is life……….

We have so many great places of wellness on Cape Ann! One of my favorite wellness rituals are regular massages!

It absolutely astonishes me when someone says they have never had a massage!

I feel like it should be a part of life’s routine!

Stephanie Mitchell-Thurston, LMT just opened up her own massage spot at Brown’s Mall! Just another awesome business to help re-invent Brown’s Mall.

Now I can get my hair done at Fatima’s, get my massage at Stephanie’s and top off with an out-of-this world pastry at Sticky Fingers! Life is Good!

Sorry, Not sorry, I’m obsessed!

I am absolutely OBSESSED with Pilot House sushi!

Almost all my friends are sushi lovers like I am and we are starting to make this more than a weekly thing.

Check out the awesome boat we got last time!

 

In honor of St. Peter, a boat load of sushi!

My mouth is watering…. This was so amazing!

Do nice guys finish last?

Let’s face it, not all gals like a “bad boy” and not all gals like “wicked super nice guy”. I like guys that are a little bit of both. (well my husband is at least) This concept is so easy for us gals to understand but guys just don’t get it.

Obviously ladies love compliments from their guy but can it ever be too much? Nothing wrong with a guy saying in front of a group of friends “look how HOT my lady is today” Thats cute but when does it become over kill? Some guys think it’s never too much.

I for one, think at certain point it will no longer sound genuine.

Guys and Gals…. thoughts?

 

 

 

 

Are you a creature of habit?

Yea I’m the weirdo in aisle 13 smelling all the laundry detergent. Growing up my mom ONLY used Tide. Now, I go for whatever smells better. Watch out if there’s a new cool looking label i’ll smell them all.

Do you stick with one brand for detergents? or really anything else for that matter?

What do you do?

In this particular situation I’m at the hair salon. There are 6 chairs, 3 on each side and no one sitting in them. Which chair do you choose?

I chose the one on the end, the next person chose to skip a chair and so forth. So now there are 3 chairs open because people skipped a chair.

There are people standing because there are “no chairs”. Why do you think that is? People scared of germs? invading space? antisocial?

If you notice this is a common theme in our lives. Just another thing I ponder sitting here with no one near me.

 

Street Smart Vs. Book Smart

I honestly do not know who to blame for the lack of common sense adolescents have these days.

These young adults are graduating from college, some with double majors and they can’t even follow a direction??

Is it me or does that not make any sense??

Bad enough some schools took cursive out of the curriculum and they

DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO SIGN THEIR NAME???

 

Honestly, I want my kids to know how to sign their name, balance a check book, pay bills AND do their own laundry in college. I want them to know how to fill out New Hire paperwork and know what a tax form looks like.

 

 

Attention Sushi Lovers…………

I am a HUGE sushi fan and also a fan of reasonably priced sushi.

Sushi can literally be served on a paper place and I would eat it. BUT can you stand how beautiful this art work is?

Not only is this sushi OUT OF THIS WORLD BUT ITS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

How far have you gone?

Let’s face it, as much as everyone loves to be friendly with the peace, love and happiness there are times we just don’t want to talk to people. How many people do you see and talk to just in the market? It’s impossible to get through the market with out conversing!

I often don’t make eye contact because I figured if I can’t see them, they can’t see me right? (sounds good in theory)

If we spot someone we will casually turn around and walk the other way in the hopes they leave the market before making that inevitable eye contact.

How far have you gone just to avoid the awkward conversation somewhere?
