After Friday night's storms, this is what happened to the street I
live on! Longer commute to work this week.

New paint job for the car hole! Looks great! Sorry...I don't have a
'before' picture, but trust me..it needed it!

Look at this! Hope College Campus SAFETY truck being safe and helpful
by parking diagonally in a handicapped parking spot. Notice that there
is no indication of handicapped-ness on the plate, and there wasn't
one hanging from the rear-view mirror either!

Way to help and keep things safe!

Wierd Baby Thing...

Alright, so my daughter, Emerson, turned 8 months old yesterday. The last 8 months have been pretty fantastic with her. She's really starting to show off her personality and is really working hard to crawl, but isn't quite there yet.

The last 8 months have also been eye opening. I have seen/encountered things I never new existed, some I wish never had to exist. This brings us to today's post. My wife and I were at the grocery store to pick up the norm, when I ran across these:



Yes...Boogie Wipes. Wait, Huh. Really? "Boogie" Wipes? You couldn't have called them "Nose Wipes", "Sniffle Stoppers", or something like that?

Anyway...if it wasn't enough for them to be called "Boogie Wipes" they're also GREEN! Come on! Green? Why didn't you just have them dispense from a nose-shaped box to seal the deal?

Oh and by the way, they're "Great for Lunchboxes, Backpacks, & Purses" Huh!? For wiping them or storing them? Final question...Do you want something called "Boogie Wipes" in your lunchbox?

Needless to say, we didn't purchase these, but I do find enjoyment in finding strange baby products. I'd say this one is "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"

Oh, and if you've tried these, I am curious to know how well they worked and if the "Fresh Sent" smells like dryer sheets. Thanks!

Which one is which?

Okay...Time now to test both your Food AND Space knowledge. Here's the deal, this weekend, we ate quesadilla's for dinner. The following image is a side by side comparison of the Planet Jupiter and a Quesadilla that grilled up looking like Jupiter. Here's your test...Which is which?

Glad this wasn't around when I was a kid...

When I was a kid, I played outside, played inside, and played LOTS-o-VIDEO GAMES. I don't anymore, and that's mainly due to the fact that I have a 7 month old watching everything I do, while I'm watching her.

It's okay though, I knew that the older you get, the more your priorities change, and you know what, I'm really okay with that. While years ago I enjoyed spending time Squishing Goombas and Saving the Princess, Tracking down the all-powerful Triforce, and Defending mankind in Space...the following have replaced them:

* Squishing bugs to Save my Little Princess.
* Tracking down the all-powerful toy that comforts Her.
* Defending my space as it gets taken over by more and more pink colored things.

But to be honest...I don't miss them that much, and every once in a while, I'll get a weekend alone, and then it's me and my old friend having a good time once again. Video Games are kind of like a bike, you never forget how to play (ride).

Anyway...All that to say, that I found evidence of a very Parent-Friendly gadget, that will aid them in the battle against their children going on All Day Video Game Binges this summer.

Check it out...It's the "Game Dr."



Simply put, you plug your Video Game system's power cord into it, IT plugs into an outlet, and after a Parent set amount of time, it will kill the power to the system, rendering the system useless until the next opportunity. Oh...and you can't simply unplug the system cord, since it's locked inside the "Game Dr." nice and tight.

My thoughts...Sales of extra power cords are going to go up! Buy stock now! Want more info...Here's the article I found.
