Potluck Friday

What makes this the best Potluck Friday ever?! James and I are both off today and will celebrate by doing absolutely nothing -- after i do this Potluck of course!

1. I did the unthinkable yesterday. Something i've NEVER done before and have always said i'd never do: i parked in a handicapped parking spot. It drives me bat poop crazy when people do this. For the last 5 years of her life my mom used a wheelchair and it would make me so angry when we'd have to circle the block for a spot b/c all of them were taken (but not everyone had a decal). But yesterday it was an extreme emergency. I was craving a lemon cupcake from Cookies 'N' Cards like no one's business and the only open spot was a handicapped spot. I thought about taking that as a sign that the nutrition gods didn't want me to have the deliciousness that is a lemon cupcake the size of my head with cream cheese icing. But instead i took that as a sign from my mom saying "baby, park there for me and eat the cupcake." So that's what i did. I parked in the spot, and then ran across the street to the cookie shop. Yes people, let me say that again: i parked in the handicapped spot and then RAN across the street. I'm going to hell -- but at least i got a cupcake before i go.
   
   
2. I think there is nothing more ghetto than asking folks to help pay for your honeymoon -- well, that was before James told me of the weird email he got from a former classmate's brother. Apparently the loving brother sent an email to everyone in his sister's address book asking people to help send his "hard working and independent" sister on a honeymoon. He even set up a visa account so folks could donate online. His big sale was "think about all the money you saved not having to go to the wedding. so now here is your chance to still give a gift." Some of you may be thinking this was sweet. This might be a little sweet, but the ghettometer is way to high on this. Tacky!!!
   
   
3. My food find of the week is Wanchai Ferry. Have you seen that commercial with the panda bear telling the folks to just make chinese at home? OMG, this stuff is so freaking good. I made the cashew chicken the other night and it was so good that i started talking dirty to it -- that's how you can tell i'm enjoying my food. I talk dirty to it. You should have heard the things i said to that lemon cupcake yesterday. Anyway, if you like chinese but don't want to spend a ton, i definitely recommend.
   
   
4. For weeks James has been convinced that Lil Bro was stealing his underwear. Of course i told him he was wrong for two very important reasons: 1) There is a significant size difference between Lil Bro and James and there's no way they could fit into the same boxer briefs and 2) (this is the most important one) My mama raised us WAY better than that and we know you don't share undies, toothbrushes or deodorant. Well, apparently Lil Bro missed that last lesson b/c when i walked past his basket of laundry the other day, i noticed two nicely folded pairs of James' undies. A part of me wants to see Lil Bro squeezing into these tiny undies -- but another part of me thinks that's beyond gross.
   
   
5. I'm not really jamming anything this week, so this week i'll tell you what i'm watching this week -- and every week, but this week it's just been so dang good! General Hospital! For about a year i've been disappointed with the GH storyline, but it's really picked up and this week it's the best it's been in awhile -- oh how i miss dishing with my mama on our stories! This week the secret is out: Dominic's real name is Dante. Dante is really an undercover cop and out to put Sonny in jail. Connie is Dante's mom. And Sonny is Dante's dad. It's a family reunion -- except for the fact that Sonny shot Dante when he tried to arrest him. OMG! Between the wii and GH i'm never gonna get to study again.
