Lonely Easter

Happy Easter!

So we decided not to go anywhere for Easter because we are going to be really busy in the coming months and also because Sara’s parents were here last weekend until Thursday of this week.  So we were going to just spend a quiet weekend at home.  But then we ended up inviting a friend from work who’s from France over for a big Easter dinner.  So Saturday we planned this huge menu and went to the store and bought a ton of food.  We came home and prepared the appetizer and 2 deserts so we wouldn’t have to do it today.  Then the guy called and it turns out he got the flu and can’t come!  So we have a TON of food (including 2 deserts!) and no one to help us eat it!

A few days late

I’ve been meaning to blog about this for a few days, but apparently it made national news.

So, since I am the official Chicago coyote monitor, here is a story about one who decided to stroll into a Quiznos in the Loop.  You can watch the video on that site, but it was like the craziest thing!  People were eating in there and it just runs in the front door and then ultimately settles into the juice cooler! 

So as you can see, coyotes have completely taken over the city

Thanks to Best Week Ever for pointing out this amazingly deep introspective song by Alanis Morissette:

(In case you are old, foreign and/or living under a rock, this is a parody of My Humps by Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas)

Addendum

Okay, I just had to stop back and post this.  I was browsing that site some more and I saw that it had an “Our Weirdest Products” section.  I had to see what was in there because there were some really weird things on the rest of the site.  What was there you ask?  How about a Remote Control, Hopping, Yodelling Lederhosen (with knockworst remote control). 

I’m sure after that you will want to go see the flash animation on their website, www.hoppinglederhosen.com

First Grill of the Season!!

Fired up the grill for the first time this season and had some delicious burgers tonight.  Ahh, no food is better than grilled food!

I don’t know what to file this under exactly, but here is the one stop shop for all of your novelty bandage needs. (courtesy dabuki)
I’ve seen some of these before at Urban Outfitters but I could never decide between the bacon strips and pirates:

There are lots of other good things on that site though…I mean, they have a meat section  to their store for god’s sake!
