Too Juicy !!!

My daughter loves juice. More specifically, she likes Five Alive, Passionate Peach, and to be honest, this is the only variety of juice that she will drink. Because she is also a little diva, she will only drink it out of a juice box with a straw.

When my daughter says "Daddy, I want a juice" , this is very easy for me to respond to because I know exactly what she wants.
So tonight, I responded to her drink order by raiding the fridge, and delivering the goods.

I was a bit surprised by the, "daddy, it's too sour" response but the reason was soon easily discovered..... I bought Citrus instead of Peach......

We would love our daughter to expand her juice palette, as you cannot find Peach Five Alive everywhere, and let's be honest...There's a lot of great juices on the market. So, I asked, " Why don't you like this one?"

Her response....."It's too juicy!"

I'm still trying to figure out what this means.

Starbucks

A couple weeks ago I was reading somewhere about how hot Starbucks coffee is reported to be, and thought to myself that it didn't seem any different than coffee temperature anywhere else. This morning I made my routine stop for a Grande Bold to go, handed over $2.11 in correct change as per usual, and drove off to work. As I lifted the cup towards my face for that first mouthful of delicious brew, imagine my surprise as the defective lid came flying off and half of a steaming Grande Bold emptied onto my lap.
For the record, Starbucks coffee is indeed extremelty hot.

Garage Sale

I opened up my blog today and was surprised to see my last post was almost a year ago. I re-read my former posts and overall I think they are a bit lame. This has been a recurring situation in my life with all previous attempts at journaling. I read back over previous entries and wrinkles appear on my forehead. I wonder if actual writers share a similar experience.

It would appear by the lack of posts, visitors and comments, that I am a lousy blogger. I will try harder this time. I too often keep thoughts in my head and I think it will be good therapy to release a few of them.

We had our first ever garage sale today. I think it might very well be our last garage sale. If it were not for the fact that proceeds are going to charity, we would have likely packed it in last night.

A few observations :
1) We have accumulated a lot of crap in the 10 years we have been together
2) People are more than willing to buy this crap.
3) The nicest items in a garage sale are difficult to sell.
4) I am a horrible salesman
Customer: How much for the wine rack?
Me: $20 firm
Customer: Will you take $1.50?
Me: SOLD !!!!!
5) We made $650 and are giving it to Orphanages for Africa
6) I am often ashamed of my own affluence
