San Diego Vacation – Day 1

Posted on July 4th, 2011 by Jean


 
We just returned from a quick trip to San Diego. From the minute we pulled up to the harbor and saw this incredible ship, we knew our vacation had begun.
 
The Maritime Museum of San Diego currently has three ships and two submarines on display. Tour tickets range from $8-$14, but it costs nothing to view the ships from land.
 
Personally, you wouldn’t catch me inside a submarine. Nothing against subs. I just wouldn’t want to be in a confined space anywhere let alone submerged in the ocean.
 
A short walk from the museum and also on the harbor is Anthony’s Fish Grotto. Looking at their website, I see they were voted Best Seafood 14 years in a row. The girls and I grabbed a table, and Tom ordered us clam chowder, fried clams, chicken & fries, beer, wine and soda. Everything was delicious!
 

 
Hopping back into our vehicle, we went a short distance down the road to Seaport Village. We loved going through the shops, seeing the beautifully manicured landscaping, the twinkling lights wrapped around the trees, other tourists milling about, riding on the 100+ year old carousel, and choosing delicious treats at the Candy Shack.
 

 
We settled back into our hotel room wanting to get plenty of sleep for the next day’s excursion to Sea World.
 
To be continued.
 
• Do you have any summer vacations planned?
• Have you been to San Diego?
• Seafood – yeah or nay?

I Fake It ~ Do You?

Posted on June 20th, 2009 by Jean

I’m boycotting Nerds. You shouldn’t need a shopvac to clean up a candy spill.

Make sure you specify Nerd Candy when you google. Otherwise your retnas will be burned by this:

Speaking of candy, our neighbor kicked his *substance-abusing* girlfriend out again. He gave us her huge bag of assorted Dove chocolates plus an industrial-size box of chocolate liquors. Is it wrong to eat a banished crack-whore’s chocolates?

One of my exes used to make goulash. I’m thankful that I will never eat it again. You know those meals that you fake/enjoy? Maybe I’m the only one. I can’t think of a meal Tom cooks that I fake/enjoy, but I’m starting to think he fake/enjoys my cheesy hashbrowns. I saw his full serving (plus the leftovers) in the trash. He’s the one that suggested I melt cheese on top. Cheese helps everything…. except for my hashbrowns apparently.   

I’ve been thinking of my next videoblog. Not a tutorial, but my impersonations of Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward. I might even throw in Sandy the Squirrel. What if my impersonations are way off? Will you tell me if I suck, or will you fake/enjoy it?   

How are you spending this fine Father’s Day weekend?

Thanks for reading!

Off On A Dum Dum Tangent

Posted on October 29th, 2008 by Jean

It’s the simple things that bring joy to my children. Simple as in dum dum lollipops.


 
Natalie pulled a dum dum from our candy bowl the other day, and said, Mom, this one is pepper flavored. She mistook the sour apple for a green pepper.
 

Ewwww!
 
The idea of a pepper flavored sucker sent me off in two directions. The first direction was to find odd-flavored lollis.
 
Margarita Lollipop


Complete with salty exterior. Available at Firegirl.com.
 
Absinthe Lollipop


Available at Kegworks.com.
 
Javapops


60mg of caffeine per lolli. Available at ThinkGeek.com.
 
And the obligatory Insect Pops.


No thanks. Available at Hotlix.com.
 
The second direction was to check out dum dums. If you’d like to elect two dum dums (no comment), head over to DumDumPops.com
 


Go, Cool Lime!
 
I was surprised to learn that you can send in 20 wrappers plus $1.00 to receive a toy prize.
 


 
Really? What can you get for a dollar anymore?
 
• Have you tried an unusual lollipop?
• Would you try an unusual lollipop?
• Who are you voting for in the dum dum flavor election?
