Here are things I think have been fairly well established on my blog.

  1. I like to complain.
  2. I like to read books.
  3. I have expensive taste.
  4. The Romgi is awesome.
  5. My kids are adorable.

I’m not sure you can argue that I talk about much else with any degree of frequency. So my question is, are there other things you want to hear about? Do you care what I learn in my classes, do you want to see more things I would buy with a lot of money, would you like more pictures of the Bwun and jr? More pictures of the Romgi and me? Fewer pictures of me? (I challenge you to find the most recent one I posted on here. It’s probably been a while.) Come on, readers. This blog is about YOU.

No…no. It’s really not. But I do want to interest you in MY life. Tell me what you want to read about!

Interruption

Posted: January 26, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Little Women | 1 Comment

Things seem really hectic and chaotic right now, but a few times a day that gets interrupted by some to-die-for cooing from jr. If I weren’t so absorbed in cooing back at her I might take a video for you. Make do with this picture:

McDonald's Oatmeal

Posted: January 25, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: James and the Giant Peach | 2 Comments

I usually avoid doing fast food reviews because… I expect if you are getting fast food you’re not really concerned about service, quality, or flavor.  I assume that when you get fast food that you are getting it because it is quick and easy.  But today, McDonald’s crossed a line.  I was so disappointed with their new Oatmeal, I had to warn others.

I’ve been hearing about McD’s new oatmeal for quite some time.  It is on billboards, commercials, and posters.  It looks so appetizing.  The fruit, the warm steam rising from the bowl.

It looks so good!

How could I resist?  I thought, “THE STEAM IS MUSIC NOTES SO IT MUST BE AMAZING!”  This morning it was snowing outside and I figured it would be the perfect day to try the oatmeal.  I went to the nearest McD’s and ordered my oatmeal.  This is what greeted me.

Wait a minute...

Watery muck with apples floating on the top. I understand that everybody likes their oatmeal a little bit different.  Some people like it runny, and others like it thick.  I personally was expecting the consistency that is shown in the promotional pictures.  The difference was only made worse when a spoon was involved.

I’m pretty sure not even Oliver Twist would ask for more of that.  While I appreciated the fresh chunks and raisins, the actual oatmeal tasted like it looked- hideous.  That being said, the Bwun loved it.  Don’t get it.  Instead, use the $1.99 to get a box of the generic brand of oatmeal and make it at home.
