Smartypants is a little melancholy today. Hit me with your funniest.




Froot Loops and Sesame Street. Kids have it good.

Sometimes, when I am immersed in the cares of this world- betrayal and friendship and love and hate, I wish I could just zip back to an age when stress was my cheeseburger falling apart.



Simple

but increasingly complicated

loving someone

and hating what they do



the wounds of a friend



Trusting

Forgetting the possibility

that all at once

the dagger could strike again



faithful

the wounds of a friend

  8. Mrs SP,

    Since we have angel food cake on earth, do they have people food cake in heaven?

    ReplyDelete
  9. 'people food cake'- probably.

    just like we desire to see angels..
    angels desire to look upon us & God's dealings with us..

    sure, they might want that cake!

    Hey, Jennifer, what would that look like? Could you find out *somehow* & make one?? hee hee

    Jennifer, congrats on your little one on the way!!

    Ham, Latke-Flavored Soda On a Shelf Near You
    Saturday, November 10, 2007

    SEATTLE — Coming soon next to the Coke and Pepsi in a store near you: ham-and latke-flavored soda to make your holiday feast complete.

    It even will be kosher, the company making it says — including the ham.

    Jones Soda Co., the Seattle-based purveyor of offbeat fizzy water, is selling holiday-themed limited-edition packs of flavored sodas.

    The Christmas pack will feature such flavors as Sugar Plum, Christmas Tree, Egg Nog and Christmas Ham. The Hanukkah pack will have Jelly Doughnut, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Coins and Latkes sodas.

    "As always, both packs are kosher and contain zero caffeine," Jones said in a statement.

    The packs will go on sale Sunday, with a portion of the proceeds to be given to charity, the company said.

    Jones' products feature original label art and frequently odd flavors. Last year's seasonal pack was Thanksgiving-themed, with Green Pea, Sweet Potato, Dinner Roll, Turkey and Gravy, and Antacid sodas.

    For its contract to supply soda to Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, Jones came up with Perspiration, Dirt, Sports Cream and Natural Field Turf. The company — fortunately or unfortunately — prides itself on the accuracy of the taste.

    (Eeewww. Persperation flavored soda????? Just make a gefeltafish flavor and get it over with already. -- lisa)

    Jones also makes more traditional flavors, including root beer, cherry and strawberry sodas.

  24. Dear Ms. SP -
    why do most theological discussions with children happen at bedtime when all you want is for them to put their head down and sleep? Or at bathtime when they ask if Adam & Eve had bellybuttons?
