Random

 

 

 

 

I love seeing random things!! The other day I was sitting at a stoplight next to my house when this truck pulled up next to us. A mobile bank... who knew. Well this truck has a bank teller window as well as an ATM.

Which leads me to several thoughts:
- why would i give my money to someone who shows up at my house in a truck
- how lazy are we that we can't run down the street to deposit our money or get some cash out
- How does this guy not get robbed--it's like a Brink's truck without the armor
- Why the hell does anyone need an ATM on wheels

Well hopefully you are as perplexed as I am about this... if not let me know why on earth these would be a necessity.

It's spring...not summer!

So what in people's mind tells them the second it gets slightly warm, and I mean slightly, that is fine to wear shorts, tanks, and flip flops? Now, don't get me wrong.... yesterday was a beautiful day and I was out enjoying it with the best of them. The difference is that I was dressed appropriately. I was wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a fleece. There we several others who also realized that it was only spring and were therefore dressed appropriately also. But there were even more who thought it was July. I was amazed at the people I saw who seemed to be missing articles of clothing. Everywhere I looked I saw people in tanks tops, open toed shoes or shorts. Come on, I realize that is was a nice day, but be appropriate. I know that they were wishful thinkers, but I also know they had to be cold. Think about it... it is barely March--is that really summer? No it is not! So think about that before you leave the house without all of the clothes you need to keep you warm!

Tangerine

I love fruit, but I think tangerines may be one of the dumbest fruits ever. And as much as Idespise them, I continue to buy them--dumb I know . You are probably thinking I don't like the taste, which is completely false. I love them, I could probably eat one every day.

Instead, I hate the fact that it has seeds. Most fruit has seeds that are either edible (think kiwi, strawberry...) or ones that are easy to eat around (apple). No... a tangerine's seeds effect my eating. There is no way to eat around the seed and when you bite it (which happens to me often because those pesky seeds like to hide) it is crunchy and gross.. basically non-edible in my opinion. There is no easy way.

So as I sit with my tangerine this morning, I am reminded of why they suck. My hands are sticky from the juice because I have to squeeze out the seeds before I can eat it. And of course, I think I have them all and then I bite down and it feels like a cracked tooth...oh no. Just another seed. I guess maybe I should stick to oranges.
