Sprite, O.J., Grenadine, Maraschino

Ever since Dee and I bought all the makings of Shirley Temples on our (quite expensive, yet HEALTHY) grocery shopping spree, I haven't been able to stop having them. I am the biggest fan of maraschino cherries in the world, and Shirley Temples happen to add to them very nicely. I even have my first bottle of grenadine...I was so proud! Good thing I go way overboard with the grenadine (I've never used it myself, so I just get really excited) so that the drink turns the color of my BEAUTIFUL (Jaysen) red BOW gloves! You know Jay? The red ones that match my purse perfectly? The ones that you love? I should give them to you as a present. Anyways, that's a side story. But yes, I get very excited with the grenadine and the drink turns bright red and then just doesn't look like a Shirley Temple...unless she got murdered in the glass. But I enjoy them. And I also enjoy that Dee and I are attempting to eat healthier. (This coming from the girl who had 2 EFFIN HUGE oatmeal raisin cookies yesterday and one today...but damn they're good). (and they have oatmeal in them. cuddle = committment and oatmeal = healthy).

I think that I'm actually allergic to orange juice. It's very odd. The day after I have any, or sometimes just 5 minutes after I have any, my nose gets all stuffy and I start sneezing and coughing. This has happened for a long time. Yes yes, I know what some (Jay, AGAIN) of you are thinking...."good ol' hypochondriac Rachel...always thinking she's sick" (*flashback* "My neck hurts, my back hurts and my nose is stuffy...I HAVE MENENGITIS!!".....it actually happened for those of you who I haven't told the story to. Ask Jason...lol or Kloe). But seriously, I always get the common cold for a couple of days after I have orange juice. How odd is that? It's not bad, just a stuffy nose. It's very odd, to answer my previous question...very odd indeed.

ISAD is just around the corner, but this ISAD, I won't be sad! I have a Valentine! (and a wonderful Valentine at that). Thanks to My Cuff, ISAD won't be as sad anymore...but for those of you going through the turmoils of ISAD, my (non-valentine's inspired) heart is with you and I will be here for moral support. Or, if you are like Leah, cozy up to a good ol' bottle of Tequilla to cure those un-struck hearts of yours. (Thanks for the mention on your blog love!!)
(For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, a few years ago I decided that Valentine's Day is International Singles Awareness Day because, let's face it, it becomes SO much more apparent how single you are if you're single on the most romantic day of the year. That name just happens to spell ISAD, and so, Valentine's Day has been renamed that ever since, for those of us who are "significant-other impaired").
...wait a minute...
our Valentine's Day is on the 12th....so I won't have an actual Valentine on Valentine's Day because he won't be here......not to mention we'll be in Theory until 9:30 or something stupid like that. Aw, I think an ISAD post might be on it's way...


Big Turk bars only have
3 g of fat in them!
That's 60% less than the
average chocolate bar (apparently).
Just in case you were curious.

(singing starts here) comment, comment, comment, comment, this is Leah commenting, because I know how to comment on your blog, unlike my own, which is just stupid.... (the singing is now over)

okay, add some random arm movements and maybe a clap or to, and that is my song of the day just for Rachel and Rachel's blog. Ooo, plus a leg kick just for "theatre"!

Thank you for the creation of ISAD. Unfortunatly, I am not sure how great it is, because there is now a name for the loneliness felt on said day. I am happy that you have a Valentine though. Yay for Rachel!!! Have a good one babe. love and hugs

Wow. Only 3 g of fat! It's really to bad that I much prefer Coffee Crisp. Can that have 3 g as well? Please?
I say just go ahead and declare Valentine's Day to be the 12th for you. Why not? I already nulled the 14th. (nulled? annulled?) Brennan can have as many Valentine's Days as he wants. I'm not afraid to share him; he's too cool to not share.
1. I laughed so hard at the Shirley dying in her glass part.
2. Shirley Temples add very nicely to the maraschino cherries = Gold!

Awww how can I beat those awesome comments? how can I? I can't. Those are two solid comments. There is no point in me even writing. I mean I had it all planned out I was gonna say "hey man (ie rachel) you're cool, and your blog is too, just in case you were curious" and I thought I was so clever and witty and I thought the whole world would find me funny and that for once I would be crowned top commenter which is my goal in life but god dammit, I shoulda known that two rockin ladies would beat me to it. Eff I was foiled again. And then I thought, well maybe I could add to it and write "yes rachel, and shirley temples were fun too, and so were teh crispy minis, and the banana yogurt and the moldy raspberries" but then I thought to myself that that would be much too long of a comment and nobody likes long comments because they are so pointless to read, I mean you never really get anything out of them, they are like cliff notes, and no one reads cliff notes anyways, except for anyone named Cliff but that is only because he (or she if she had cruel parents) probably thinks that the notes are just for them. So the long and short of it is, here is the comment you wished for my dear, even though it may not have actually been THE comment you wanted. ps> today will go down in history as the best packed supper day of my life.

Dee:
You are crazy. That was the best posted comment ever. (Rachel: you are lucky to now have the 3 best comments ever!!)
I am seriously sitting here click laughing-- I've been informed that I do this... I was unaware. (8)I am aware now... I am aware now.(8)
I was afraid you fell off the side of the world. And how sad is it that I'm commenting on someone else's page just to get hold of you?
Sorry Rachel. :(
Okay you both rock, and that's final.
Hey Dee, come over to my blog and we'll finish this conversation.
KrazyNess-- so crazy I hadda spell it with a K!
