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!"

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...
