This is my 400th post! Four hundred posts! I certainly have had a LOT to say. Maybe I should start writing something meaningful, like those people who spout nothing but inspirational sayings. After all, the other day I was having a cup of Yogi brand tea, and on the teabag it said “The only tool you need is kindness.” I thought this was beautiful, somewhat flawed, and also Ha! You said Tool! So maybe I have not evolved enough to the point where I will be writing and/or quoting inspirational sayings. Although, here is a lovely quote from the painter Bob Ross:
The ceramic frog! My babysitter had one of those!
Oh, Bob Ross. “Happy little trees….”
Happy 400 posts!
I think we got a Christian rant last year. I was like, “Um?”
Bob Ross sounds like he’s on something. We didn’t get play doh but I think it’s a cute idea – what’s your beef with it? There’s always some candy where I’m like “what the hell? Where did they get these? I would have bought these!! What store was hiding the good candy?!” And my kids self-regulate pretty well, but I do know kids that will eat until they barf, so I guess it’s kid-specific.
happy 400th post. That’s pretty cool.
I can’t stand when people hand out playdoh. It always makes such a mess at my house. Give me chocolate (I mean give the kids chocolate).
When I was a waitress, someone once left me a tract AS A TIP. People who give tracts to save themselves money/kindness REALLY lose their message.
(The tract I got also reprimanded me for wanting money. Apparently money is “of this world,” whereas salvation is of TRUE worth.)
Thanks for keeping to your regular programming. Mug tree and brown fridge. There are some memories.

400?! You mean we’re supposed to be keeping track of things like that. Man I’ve been doing this blog thing all wrong….damn it.I blame it on the cute photos of your kids…and all that candy.Congrats on 400!
OMG, when I read that quote from your tea the first thing I thought was “ha ha, *tool*.”
I still hope to grow up someday.
Love how Jake’s nose is still red from being outside getting his bounty.
Congratulations on 400 posts! You rock the kazbah! What’s the proper present for a 400th post anniversary? Paper? Gold?
Everyone should have a gross candy pile! And I love that one of your neighbors was handing out religious literature! In cartoon form, no less!
Bob Ross was someone that I would have probably shunned in real life, but I liked him on TV. He was mesmerizing. Plus I could turn him off.
