I took this on my way in to work this morning. My notes:
-The bumper sticker on the left states: A Woman and Her Truck/It’s a Beautiful Thing.
-The bumper sticker on the right says Walt Disney and features cartoon images of the major Disney players pre-Pixar days.
-The vehicle is a Honda CR-V, defined by Wikipedia (my source for all things accurate on the internet) as a small crossover SUV.
I’m fairly certain that given my investigation (which consisted of a sideways glance upon passing this vehicle once on the freeway), this woman is indeed an adult approximately my age and likely has her driver’s license. This indicates she has clear thinking ability, or at least the minimum required to pass her driver’s test. And this is how she chooses to roll.
This is why society in general makes me annoyed.

Cheapest automatic dishwasher detergent ever:
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon borax
I’ve seen several blogs out there that say this combo sucks. And I think that they suck. And that they are stupid. Because this totally works on our dishes just as good, if not better, than the Jet Dry packs.
I’ve discovered a spin on good ol’ PB&J that is too good not to share. Throw some walnuts, raisins, and ground flaxseed in between your PB & the J. It actually makes it a lot more filling and is just plain delicious. I highly recommend toasting the bread so it gets all ooy-gooy too.
I cannot claim full credit to this however, seeing as how my favorite Steaming Cup gave me the idea by using trail mix in theirs.
I check out Cute Overload on a daily basis, but this was just too cute not to share!

My plumber friend James hooked me up with this handy earth and budget-friendly way to declog drains.
Needed: Boiling pot of water, plunger, and possibly pliers. Oh, and a strong stomach.
Remove stopper from whatever drain is slow or clogged and pour a pot of boiling water down. Plunge away. Clog will be gone or shot up near the opening so you can grab it with the pliers. You may vomit. Do every month or so to prevent clog build-up.
This seriously works people – I went through like 3 bottles of draino in my guest bathroom tub and nada. This little trick and clog was gone. Happy Monday!
Adam and I watched Seven Pounds the other night and while it was very good, I didn’t like that it turned me into a blubbering idiot for 10 minutes after the end of the movie. Poor Lola was my pillow and she was a trooper. I was squeezing her so tight I thought her eyes were going to pop out and her head was soaked from my tears.
I don’t understand how I can be such a hard ass about pretty much everything, but then turn into a total spaz at the start of the dvd playter. A list of my favorite tear jerkers that I just can’t stay away from:
Miracle – Disney rules at turning feel-good sports movies into Jenni Tear Jerkers. Olympics moments are so emotional, and this story is like one wonderful heart-bursting prideful moment stretched over an hour.
Beaches – Ultimate girlfriend movie. Ladies, I dare you to watch this with your best friend and not be bawling at the end.
Cool Runnings – No, I am not joking about this. Carrying the sled over the finish line?? Come on, how much more noble can it get??
Forrest Gump – Part of me cries during this because it provoked years of being called Jini by classmates, but the other part just loves the way Forrest rolls with life’s punches. I am such a sucker.
Homeward Bound – Animals plus Disney. Need I say more?
Well if this isn’t the best time-waster for a Friday you’ve seen in a long time, fine then. You cold-hearted ass hole.
