"Your Way Right Away???"

...at Burger King!!!

So, my husband does not like Burger King. He says that his food is always cold. I thought this was a weird reason not to like a particular restaurant but anyway....I do like Burger King...most of the time.

I have always liked the Whopper...it's big and messy and completely unhealthy for you. Well I HATE ketchup! I am telling you...HATE IT! I don't even really like the smell of it. Burger King, like a lot of fast food places put ketchup on their hamburgers. I always request no ketchup and no tomato.

You see, the slogan for Burger King is "Your Way Right Away...at Burger King now" can you sing it?? Anyway, I got my cheeseburger which was I was so excited about. I woke up wanting a cheeseburger. I really wanted Red Robin but it was late into the lunch hour and my sweet toddler child was ready for a nap. I was trying really hard to keep her awake in the car so we would get a decent nap at home. I was successful but that did not include any stops to actually sit and eat somewhere. Anyway, I settled for a Whopper with cheese, no ketchup and no tomato....or so that was the request.....

I got home with our lunch and started eating. My bun seemed kinda old...it wasn't soft. It just didnt look like your typical Whopper, I was a little disappointed. Then I came to KETCHUP!!! I looked at the wrapper that the hamburger came in and it had no tomato, no ketchup marked! I was so frustrated!!! IT WAS MARKED! I just wish that I had better luck with people at fast food restaurants. It seems like around here, maybe everywhere, the people that work at fast food restaurants are complete IDIOTS!! The only place around here that the fast food workers are not totally incompetent is Chick Fil A...which is my favorite place to eat fast food. I mean, I don't know what I expect to be working at a fast food place but I know when I worked in retail in college....I worked and did a good job even though it wasn't the best job in the world. It was MY job and I took pride in it. I think the bottom line is that people, in general, don't take pride in their work anymore....sadly not just low-paying employees but professionals as well. This day and age, one should take great pride in their work...there are several that would like to work and can't find work or have been laid off recently. *sighs*

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
