Randomness

The hubs and I were on our way to the grocery store and randomly the topic of people not putting their shopping carts where they belong came up. We both were on the same page in that a cart should be returned especially if the cart holder is nearby. We both are aware that sometimes there are reasons as to why someone can't but the majority of the time, there really are no excuses. Just plain laziness!

Of course, as we were talking we were watching this lady take her cart and parked it behind her between her van and the car behind her. There was no reason for her to do that when there was a cart holder directly in front of her van and one 3 spots to her left. So this kind of ticked us both off but I was surprised at my hubby's reaction. He took it upon his self and walked to the lady's cart and walked it to the holder without saying a word to her. As he pushed it in the holder with force, he decided to give her a "shame on you" face, again without saying a word. The lady decided to step out her van to shout to him "I did that for a reason, sir" and  then "Have a nice day". Ha! My hubby just returned a smirk. I was watching this all from my van and was just cracking up!

Really? What reason could you possibly have for not putting the cart away when 1. the holder was in front of you and beside you and 2. you risked the car behind you to get damaged. She literally could have pushed the cart from her van and it would have gone right in without much effort. It just made no sense.

What are some of your pet peeves?

Fro Yo

I am not sure if your area is doing this but here in the LV, the Fro Yo craze has started. It's like when I started watching the show Cupcake Wars on the Food Network channel all of a sudden all these cupcake bakeries opened up. Right now, I can think of 3 Fro Yo shops that are all within 10 minutes of my house. They seem to be every where!

But don't take this post as complaining! This makes me excited! Now it doesn't mean they will see me on a weekly basis. Shoot, I'm not trying to get any bigger here but it will be a nice treat once in a while for not only me but Little Miss as well. Maybe a "Mother-Daughter" place to go. It does help that my lactose-intolerant body seems to manage well which is GREAT! Now I can enjoy something ice cream like and not start a war within.

So this past weekend and the other night, Little Miss was going through something. Friday night she had a slight fever which went away by Sunday but Sunday into Monday until about 3am-ish, she woke up with a few crying fits. It was one of those low to high pitch screams/cries which we heard often when she was an infant. The girl was in pain and our guess was it was either gas or her 2 year molars being a pain. Yesterday, she was feeling much better. Still a little sensitive but definitely better. I thought it was a great time to take her to So Fun! Yogurt.

I had the lowfat Vanilla + Chocolate swirl with Reese's Cup chunks, Butterfinger chunks and chocolate cookie crumbles. Little Miss also had the Vanilla + Chocolate swirl but with mini marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs and her fav, mini M&M's. She ate some of the fro yo but spent most of her time, picking out the little candies. She enjoyed it and that is what makes me happy! She gets many veggies and fruits in her diet, so she deserves these little treats every once in a while.

So Fun! is really a cute and fun place! It is bright and cheery in there and I of course love the modern look of the decor. The food is even yummier! I really do feel like a kid in there. There are 14+ flavors of fro yo  at one time to choose from and all kinds of toppings. Even sprinkles in the colors of our local high schools. I always apologize to my daughter when I put rival high school sprinkles on her fro yo ;).

All these kinds of shops may be similar in fashion. You pick out your fro yo of your choice then head to the center island for the toppings. The sprinkles, syrups and whip cream are at the counter. There you get your 'masterpiece' weighed and paid for. Just watch the toppings, you go overboard you will pay for it. Even so with all that Little Miss and I had, it was still only $6. Not too shabby.

So if you are thinking about trying a little something different, go ahead and stop at one of these shops! I am pretty sure you won't regret it!

XXX Summer Olympics - Go Team USA!

Go Team USA!

CONGRATULATIONS to all the athletes for your hard work and dedication! You all are the best of the best at what you do and now you get to shine! 

By far, the Summer Olympics is my favorite of the two. Ever since I was little, I always wanted to be a gymnast so naturally of all the events, my favorite is girl's gymnastics. And now that my niece is in gymnastics and doing very well, I was even more excited for the Olympics this year. As most of you probably did, I stayed up to watch the team competition last night and WOW the Fab 5 were FANTASTIC! It really felt like I was watching the Magnificent 7 back in '96. Each and every one of them did what they had to do to keep their team alive! I'm so proud of them! I definitely cannot wait for the individual all-around!

In addition to gymnastics, I also love to watch the swimming events. I was also happy to stay up last night and watch Phelps win his 19th Olympic medal to be the most decorated Olympian EVER! That is quite the accomplishment, and one that I hope stays alive for decades to come! I am sure this is so exciting for him and his family and I congratulate him on that! Sacrifice and dedication do pay off!

Besides gymnastics and swimming, I watch diving, track & field and soccer. My hubs obviously loves to watch basketball. But no matter what event I watch, all of it is exciting and even more exciting when Team USA wins! I am definitely looking forward to the remaining events.

So GOOD LUCK to the athletes for the rest of the competition! I'll be watching and cheering on! ;)
