The Greatest Thing EVER!

I may have just discovered the greatest thing ever!

Yesterday, while at the store checkout I decided I wanted a pack of gum.

I'm normally a 5 gum girl.

I'm particularly fond of the "React," flavor.



It is black which makes Brent think I'm eating black licorice. Black licorice grosses Brent out. I swear you would think I was eating spiders the way he reacts. Also, it is just minty delicious. Ultimately I prefer mint gum and I'm not to fond of sweet flavors. I don't really even like bubble gum flavored gum.

However, as I stood there unable to find my favorite gum I noticed Extra's Desert Delights gum. Like I said I'm not a big fan of sweet flavored gums so I kind of ignored it at first. Then it was our turn to check out and I was out of time. Heaven forbid I just go without!

So I grabbed the Extra Desert Delights figuring I would try it and then give the rest of the pack to the kids.

As we walked out to the car I unwrapped the pack and took out a piece of Extra Desert Delights Key Lime Pie. The first thing I noticed is that it smelt extra yummy (no pun intended). I actually sniffed the pack and encouraged Brent to take a sniff.


He declined.

I still didn't have high hopes because I like the smell of bubble gum, but I don't like the taste. Then I tried my first piece. It was delicious and tasted just like key lime pie. I love key lime pie and most of the time when something is trying to taste like something it isn't it doesn't.:)

I love that I keep writing these complicated sentences.

My biggest mistake is that I left the gum sitting on my kitchen counter and I have kids who also enjoyed the gum. Now I need to find a hiding place that they won't think of and I won't forget. Or else I could just buy more. :)

Once again I find it is the small things in life that just make me smile. So go today and buy yourself a little stick of happiness. There are three dessert flavors. :)

This is not a paid review I just really (x10) enjoyed this gum. This is normally when my husband says, "You have issues!"

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
