Straws
One would expect a different blog from me....
Maybe it should be about Kiel being named MVP of his region for the year (which is basically the state of Illinois) or that his team is going to the national tournament again...
Or maybe it should be how proud we are of Mellisa for having such kick bootie grades and getting inducted in a national honor society....
Or that Riley finished her basketball season with only one loss and starts softball soon...
Or that we adore AJ's new friend - who is his friend but sure seems more than that to me...
Or Miss Alyx managed to get awesome grades on her grade report this trimester...
But no....
I love straws.
I think my grandmother started this issue for me. She has to have a straw with her can of soda. I can't remember the soda now - but she is very specific on her beverage of choice.
I know when I cared about lipstick - I used straws - no lipstick anymore for me. Chris is anti-makeup. I put the basics on when I get to work. It's kind of like sneaking makeup to Jr. High school!!
Chris buys me the cutest straws. All sorts of neon colors and they have to be the bendy kind or there is no point.
I like to chew the end of straw just a tad. Not sure why - probably just a nervous thing....
McDonald's has giant, wide straws. I guess so people drink more - and in turn, buy a larger size?
I can't remember the basketball player's name - but one of the NBA guys chews a straw every game. They interviewed his wife - she grabs handfuls at Mc'D's. Now - if I made a million bucks a year - I think I could break down and go to Sam's club and buy a box or two of a thousand...
I hate when they have different sized straws for drinks - and I grab the super size straw for my large drink and then I look like a dork.
I don't like those crazy straws that do the loopy-loops. Those are horrid to clean - and it never fails that the girls drink chocolate milk that goops it all up. Those mysteriously disappear...
The girls tried the chocolate straws that you are supposed to put in white milk. Yuck - those were a mess. They melted in the hand and disintegrated at the bottom too quickly.
And water bottles - it is next to impossible to match the straw to the lid to the cup. Good grief - can they not figure out a way to code those darn things? We must have fifty cups in our cabinet with mismatched parts.
I used to love those little straws that came with your milk in school. It took talent to open your milk carton only wide enough for the little straw.
And juice boxes? Or those juice bags? You have to STAB the little straw in the juice box. And how many parents have ended up with juice all over everywhere when their kid squeezed the damn bag while trying to insert the straw in the little impossible to permeate hole??? I don't know who designed that but wow.
Anyhow.... gotta have a straw....
