Friday Poll

I am finding that I have to drink milk. As in, glasses of straight-up milk.

Except, I don't like milk shots. So, I have to flavor it with something, and the current choice is Ovaltine, which actually tastes pretty good and has more nutrients than I thought.

I find that people fall into one of two camps: they can't stand drinking plain milk, or they think it's the most refreshing thing evah.

Which camp do you belong to?

When I was a kid, I drank milk with everything. and then I became lactose intolerant. The only time I ever have any is when there is an oreo or chocolate chip cookie in it. But I used to think it was the best stuff in the world. Ovaltine is pretty cool. Makes me think of A Christmas Story.

You know, I am just one of those rare people that can do both. I guess it just depends on the day... somedays, no milk. Just booze.

You're probably going to think "Eeew gross" like my husband & everyone does but I can't stand the taste of any other milk but diluted evaporated milk. My husband and kids love the regular 1% stuff but I think it's nasty.

I love milk, but I don't think it's the most refreshing thing ever. I like it with certain things (enchiladas, fried chicken, chocolate, PB&J, sometimes pasta). I'll drink it on its own sometimes, like if I have to take meds or if I want some calcium. But I like water, I like orange juice, I like V8, I like wine. I like diet coke too much.

I can't stand drinking milk, and only drink it when absolutely necessary.

Yummy milk. I admint I prefer Kroger brand.

Stay away from wallymarts brand-it is full of hormones that get little girls to starting really early if you know what I mean.

I love milk although like J, I wouldn't describe it as refreshing. When I was a kid I loooooooooved drinking milk & Pepsi. It tasted like fizzy chocolate milk to me. Try it! Mmmmmmm.

Hate it. Grew up relatively poor'ish, so my mother used to cut regular milk with Carnation dried milk. Oh, blech, blech, blech. Never got over it. Can only drink it straight with a rich, rich brownie.

Plain mostly, but who can resist chocolate milk?

I hardly ever have just plain milk. It seems weird to me to drink something that's meant for baby cows. Although I love cheese.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
