-It troubles me terribly to hear anybody, especially a child say the word "gimme." For example "gimme a banana," "gimmie my milk." It is so rude.
-So, obviously, when I hear people at a restaurant or fast food place say "gimmie a number 5" or "gimmie a large lemonade" it also annoys me terribly, too!
-Yesterday on my way to work, I saw a truck that was for a Crime scene clean up company. Never have I seen one of these before and never have I seen the words "$uicide, un@ttended de@th and rnurder" in one place. (I know that looks crazy, but I don't want crazy people coming to read about those things here!)
-What is an un@ttended de@th anyways? How can nobody be there if there is a death? That doesn't make sense to me.
-I'm pretty sure that job is not on anybody's list as "what I want to be when I grow up."
-Then, I immediately started thinking about Pulp Fiction. You know, when they call somebody to "take care of the car?" (I thought about putting an image here, but it was just too gross.)
-In high school, we did a dance in drill team to a song that was in Pulp Fiction. Our drill team director had no idea it was playing during the scene with the g!mp. Pretty sure there would have been a song change after that.
-And then I remembered my internship at a toxicology lab at the medical examiners office. There will be a post on a Darwin Award winner coming from that memory.
-The pumpkin spice lattes are now at the Bucks. But, we are starting to do the Dave Ramsey budget and I feel bad about spending $4.
-Where can I get a free Starbucks gift card? Anybody have any ideas?
-Natalie is really growing up. She has decided that she likes cups now and will drink from them.
-I've decided that she can still be my baby for a while longer and I'm giving her bottles still at home. It's totally me, I know.
-Consistently, Isabelle will say "may I please have..." when she wants something. I'm so glad we are finally to that point. Sometimes she slips, but it is so nice when she remembers her manners.
-When in Houston, I got two shaved ices from two different places. Both blue bubble gum. One was perfect. One was so gross I threw it away. We won't be going back to that place.
-I will lose some weight. I will lose some weight. I will lose some weight.
-How is it Labor Day already?
-And, why don't we have any plans?
-Thank goodness for the three day weekend.

Gre@t li$t! enJOY your week!
I don't like "gimme" either. Plus, I always feel bad for people working drive-thrus because I figure that they deal with a TON of rude people every day so I always try to ask for things (i. e. "Can I have a…." followed with lots of "thank yous")
I think un@ttended death is when someone dies and they don't find them for a while (gross, huh?) so it requires a major clean-up.
Random story: one of my college roommates had a friend who came to visit her and that's what he did for a living.
Also, bubblegum sno cones fall into one of two categories: DELICIOUS or DISGUSTING. There is no in between.
HOPE you guys HAD some FUN over the long weekend!

Yay for the new Dave Ramsey budget – good luck!! We're (kind of) doing the same thing here, too. Ugh.
Oh – and a FREE Buck's gift card?! I ask for them for bdays and Christmas – try that!
My coffee maker broke this morning so I went and bought a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I loved every sip of it. Mmmmm….
I've never seen a CSI truck! But I do love to watch the show
