How I Found Out The Toothfairy Was A Hoax

As a young girl, I was always thinking of ways to make money. Once I took some leftover pieces of 2x4's and painted them and nailed random nails in them. Next, I took some poster board and made a sign: Art for sale. I set up the card table in the garage and displayed my artwork beautifully on the table. I sat out in the garage for 2 hours waiting on someone to buy my art. To my dismay, nobody showed :(

So, my next "big money making scheme" was to fool the toothfairy. The dentist would put my teeth in little plastic treasure boxes. I found 3 or 4 of my teeth in my mom's "secret" drawer (yes, I was a snoop, but called it discovering) and thought...hmm I could put these under my pillow, get the money, then the toothfairy would give them back to my mom and she would put them in her "secret" drawer, and I would find them again and so on and so on.

That evening I fell asleep with a huge smile on my face hoping to dream of swimming in money like uncle scrooge mcduck. I imagined having a huge safe of money and swimming in it.

I woke up early the next morning, checked under my pillow only to find the teeth still there. Discouraged I went to my grandma and told her my plan. She laughed and told me the truth about the toothfairy, I remember wondering right then and there if Santa was fake along with the Easter bunny.

Just a side note: I agree that the toothfairy should be blamed for prostitution. She taught kids to sell their body parts for money.

things to think about...

1. Merry-Go-Rounds are barbaric. I can hear the argument now. "But, Momma, I rode the horsey on the merry go round today and it had a stake in it's back, so I put a skewer through fluffy the hamster's back to make a merry go round for my GI Joe" (does anyone have GI Joe's anymore? I obviously don't have children or I would know the answer to this).

2. I can totally see why parents today are having problems potty training their kids with the new automatic flushing toilets. Kids are small anyway and have a difficult time balancing on the seat, and if they lean to much to one side **kawoooosh** and the child is startled and suddenly thoughts of being sucked down the toilet run through their mind. It is traumatic! I personally don't like them because I am always scared of my pee water splashing up on my behind. I honestly didn't mind using my foot to flush

3. This is just a pet peeve. There is a video store down the road and the new releases are mostly in aphabetical order. MOSTLY! I don't understand how hard it is to place the videos in alphabetical order..for goodness sake 3 year olds know their alphabet. For some reason, 20-30 somethings do not have the ability to know that "Ha" should be put before "He". Maybe the person interviewing should give them a quick test. If they don't know the alphabet give them the number to Sylvan Learning Center for help.

Okay...I am done of my rant for today...thank you...i do feel better

twitter/gran torino/garbos...yes i am all over the place

ok...i gave in...i now have a twitter...reminds me of the update on facebook, but it is slightly different....we shall see how much i get into it....

today i saw gran torino directed by and starring clint eastwood. amazing! what is up with clint eastwood making me cry? the changleing totally made me bawl like a baby needing the teet...my friend christopher and i cried so hard we were nearly weeping...good movie, but be ready for a cry fest and to feel like crap the rest of the day....

also, i ate at garbo's today in chesterfield village....i forget sometimes that thin crust really isn't my thing, but my friend bogezey likes it so i thought what the hey...bbq pizza is good, but eating it on crackers just doesn't do anything for me...

alright...sleep is much needed for this young 30 year old...insomnia has been my nemesis lately...i'm starting to think that insomnia not only shot the sheriff, but also the sandman...

CCP and Me

The best coconut cream pie ever can be found at Village Inn (specifically the one on S. Campbell and Republic Rd.) It is a little bit of heaven on a plate.

My friend Jennifer and I like to go there occasionally and partake of a slice of fluffy yumminess. In fact all we have to text one another is "CCP" and we know what the other means.

My soul purpose, this night was not only the pie, but I was needing some substance. I had awoken from a nap and needed something in my belly.

I looked the menu over trying to first decide between a breakfast item or a supper item. I finally decided to try the smothered chicken (grilled chicken with melted swiss covered in chopped onions and green peppers), a cup of minestrone soup, a baked potato, and for dessert, the infamous ccp :) .

The waitress first brought the soup. I have never tried the minestrone soup, but thought, "What the heck; I'm sick of salads." I was pleasantly suprised. It was really good.

I finished the soup and the main course was delivered promptly. The chicken was delicious along with the potato. I fully enjoyed the onions and green peppers and chicken paired with the baked potato. Occassionally, I like to combine items on my plate to see what flavors go well. A+ on onions and green peppers on a baked potato!

Finally, the grand entrance of ccp! The serve the pie with a cold fork which I love because I really do hate using my same fork from my entree' as for my dessert.

I finished the delicious dish and sat there happily checking facebook from my blackberry. Once again, I have a satisfied stomach :)
