So There's That

Just something my mom randomly decided to share today

"If I ever start square dancing at 70, please commit me. It will mean that I have lost my soul."

I've been desperately trying to upload pictures and videos while I am here in Maryland (while Rob studies back home) but my internet connect is just not up for it.

In other news my sister found out she is having a girl which only confirmed my brother-in-law, Mike's theory that girls are taking over and the ratio of girl:boy is out of control (in our family at least).

And some words of wisdom from Kendra (I don't know her last name, but the ex-girlfriend of Hugh Heffner...gross) "Everything in my life led me to where I am today."

And there you have it.

Ode to Harry E. Butts

Yes, that is totally what H.E.B. stands for, Harry E. Butts.

Anyway, its hard for me to describe how much Rob and I love HEB, so let me give you some of the reasons why and maybe you can understand.

*Rob's #1 reason: it beats Wal-Mart

*Every now and then they will put up a piece of poster board that says "FREE (blank)" (maybe its Oreos or something) and then underneath there will be a big table of Oreos. Why are these free? Who knows. Why does the poster board look like it was written by a child? Probably was. Does management know this is going on? Its unclear there is any management.

*Or they have these deals where you can buy a certain product and then get a completely unrelated product for free. When we go I usually lose Rob minutes after entering the store because he is searching for deals down every aisle. His favorite example, "Buy creamy creations ice cream, get 20 AAA Batteries free." What? Who cares, that's awesome. Do we even use AAA batteries? No, but it just doesn't matter. Maybe I'll run out and buy something that calls for AAA just because its so awesome.

*Giant tubs of assorted colored T-shirts for $.50. $.50 teal v-neck T, yes please.

*But today, well today I found the gem of all gems while shopping at HEB:
Buy 9 lbs seasoned pork for $10 get...Guacamole, sour cream, tortillas, 2 L soda, shredded cheese and tortilla chips for FREE. Whaaaat.

Just another reason Texas has won over our hearts.
