Love is blind

You know what I love? Pickles. Yummy pickle goodness. Sweat, dill, whole, slices, spears, petite. I don't care. I do not discriminate against pickles and their yummy greatness. I always ask for extra pickles at BK and subway. I love pickles. YUMMY yum yum. I live near the town of Dillsburg, PA. They drop a huge pickle on New Years Eve and every summer have a pickle FESTIVAL!! Yeah. How fantastic is that. I've never gone. But I've always wanted to. They have a pickle eating contest. My money is on me. Anywho. Last night while ordering some food at Rutters (a local gas station/convenience store), I noticed they had FRIED pickles. I have died and gone to pickle heaven. That combines my two great loves, next to the Steelers, fried food and pickles. this couldn't possibly be a bad thing. I ordered them.

While an interesting CONCEPT there was a flaw. a SERIOUS flaw. Pickles are...a juicy food. That's part of the glamour of the pickle. A crisp bit with a juicy yummy taste. Key word JUICY. So i get my food and get in the car. I'm so excited to try this GREAT concept. And i was still excited right up to the point the HOT MOLTEN LAVA PICKLE JUICE poured out of the fried pickle and into my mouth. I thought i was going to die. It was so HOT. So while an interesting concept and tasty after they cooled down, the 3rd degree burns on the top, bottom and side of my mouth said maybe I'll pass next time. I also burnt my tongue. So what have we learned friends? Let your fried pickles COOL down before attempting to enjoy.

I'm all for love. Love isn't all for me lately but we all have those days. I don't care who you date, love, marry, whatever. Good for you. Be happy. What i think doesn't matter. however here is one relationship that I just can't approve of.
Toby he's not even the same species He's a singing PURPLE dinosaur. And well I didn't want to bring this up, but he's a little stuffy if you ask me. Imagine your ugly Purple and brown, dancing dinopups. I know I know, you like the way he looks at you, but well. The whole thing is just a tad creepy. And I'm sorry but I feel like when he tells you to hug him and says he loves you, well I've heard that all before. His tone sounds very forced and more like a recording then actual love.


Ok guys I need your help. your mission if you should choose to take it is. Tell me what I should do for my 100 post. What do most people do? I've seen lists of things and 100 posts for a 100th post but i don't know what to do. I would throw a kegger and get some wings, but that's not really a blog fun kind of thing. So what should i do for my 100th post? I need help. Much more then you guys can provide me with, but this issue is right up your alley.

I have a nice Blue 2003 Saturn Vue. It's very nice. i love my car, but when i purchased Saturn's take on an SUV the gas wasn't quite as out of control as it is now. Or as it was until recently. I'm not sure how long this good fortune will last. If I had to guess I would say maybe a few days and then it'll sky rocket back up to $4 a gallon. but for now I will REJOICE in this wonderful low prices. I can't even tell you the last time it cost under $40 to fill my tank. See I have the bad habit of letting it get really low. low as in the gas light comes on. blinks furiously and then my car sputters into the gas station. it's not so much a habit as I'm usually to poor to buy gas unless it's pay week. Trust me it's hard to get my little Vue to roll around town for two weeks on one tank of gas. but I've done it.

So i gassed up today at Rutter's and filled my whole tank for $27. $27 I literally jumped for joy at the pump. Gas was $2.15 a gallon. here's my receipt to prove it! For those of you who don't have Rutter's in your area I'm so sorry for you. But it is a York County/Lancaster County thing here in the great Commonwealth of PA. Think of Rutter's as a Wawa, Sheetz, and a much cleaner version of 7/11. I know you must be rolling in envy right now. this day is starting off well for me. THANK YOU RUTTERS! I hope it comes down some more until at least after Thanksgiving as I'm planning a trip and have budgeted $30 out of my pay this week to put towards my gas fund. Cross your fingers.

So the ladies at work and myself are doing a secret Santa for Christmas. they asked me the other week if I wanted to participate and i said sure. I love giving gifts and getting them so why not. I can budget $10-15 for the work exchange. i like these ladies. fun times. I didn't participate last year because I was new and still didn't know to many people, now I know the ladies well so I was all for it. When i get here today I found an envelope taped to my desk that reads "McMean's Secret Santa Name". I said Jeez I didn't even get to pick my own name. they said they picked earlier so someone pulled for me. what a rip off I say but OK I'll deal. then I find out that the person who pulled for checked to make sure she hadn't pulled my name, makes sense. However she did pull her name and now she knows I have her! FANTASTIC! so not only did i not get to pull my own person, but the person I have knows I have her! wont she be surprised when i give her a bag of flaming dog poop. LOL. Oh well.
