1. I recently told a friend of mine that I was going to pimp out her blog and asked if she would do the same for mine. Her response: "Translation? You're speaking to a 44 year old Asian immigrant." Hahahahahaha. Okay, I added the Asian part, but just so you wouldn't be stuck wondering what kind of immigrant. I should also add that in addition to being Asian, she's of the LEGAL persuasion as well. Those are my favorite!
Her blog is amaaaazing (if you love food...but who doesn't?) and the pictures will make you droo-oo-ool with want. Check it out: http://thechurchcook.blogspot.com
And while you're there, check out her daughter Anna's essay entry for a college scholarship and give her a vote!
2. In middle school we carpooled with probably more kids than was safe to have in one car (but whatever) and one day it was our friend Jim's (really his name was Eric, but I'll call him Jim for the sake of anonymity and all that) dad's day to drop us off and pick us up. School ends for the day, we wait outside on the sidewalk, parents show up and pick up their kids.........about an hour goes by....we're the only kids left on the sidewalk....then the school secretary comes out and says Eric's (oops, Jim's) dad is on his way. He had a minor accident and had to go by the ER; it took a little longer than he thought it would, but he was leaving the hospital and would be at the school in about 15 minutes. Awesome. .....................
Fifteen minutes later, Eric's (Jim's) dad pulls up COVERED -and I mean COVERED- in blood, with his t-shirt cut all the way down the middle. It was a white undershirt. I know it was a white undershirt because he said it was. COV. ERED. IN. BLOOD. His ENTIRE chest was wrapped in thick layers of gauze and tape. Eric, I mean Jim, was full on flipping out; actually I guess we all were. I just remember I was stunned into silence (*rare). So there we were, 5 or 6 or 7 kids standing on the sidewalk, speechless, watching our friend go ballistic at the sight of his father covered in blood and bandages, and all the while, Eric's (Jim's) dad was just smiling as always, hands on the wheel, waiting for us to get in. We hopped in and I swear, it was as if everything were completely normal. He asked about our days, yada yada, not at all worried that he looked like he had just taken a chainsaw through the chest. When Eric (Jim..whatever.) calmed down enough to actually ask what had happened, the answer came as nonchalantly as if he were answering a question about the weather. The minor accident? HE TOOK A CHAINSAW THROUGH THE CHEST. Seriously. He was cutting wood, the saw kicked back, SPLIT HIS CHEST IN TWO, he "stopped by the ER", and then went to pick the carpool kids up from school. Really???? Yeah, really. Chew on that, Chuck Norris.
3. Did I mention I started a political blog? http://pollytickchick.blogspot.com
