OH THANK GOD - I'M STILL ALIVE AND BLOGGING

I cannot believe how long it has been since I last blogged. It is difficult to keep up with my busy life - working, driving down Highway 2 (GF to the west, Duluth to the east), complaining about my broken TV, stalking people on the internet, and eating my weight in M&M Blizzards - but I see the error of my ways and will make blogging a priority going forward. Thank you to my faithful followers for sticking by me during this dark period.

So after months of anticipation, what will my blog be about? The ridiculous price of gas? Eating 3/4 of a watermelon in one sitting? My upcoming marathon? The absurd views of my unreasonably Republican brother-in-law? My love of Lauren Conrad and hatred of Heidi and Spencer? All great topics, but not todays topic. Today I am going to write about my new love - the pretzel/icee combo meal at Target.

Why do I love the pretzel/icee combo meal? For starters, it is $2.65. If you get only the pretzel, it will cost you $2. If you get only the Icee, it will cost you $2. You are basically getting one of the items for free. As a cheap accountant who only enjoys spending money on big ticket, impulse purchases - I am thrilled to spend less than $3 on a pretzel/icee lunch. Also, you get this food almost instantaneously. Nobody really goes to Target for lunch, so there isn't a line from the lunch rush. And you can peruse the store while finishing your Icee - Lord knows how much I love Target to begin with, so throw an Icee in there and I will never leave. What I cannot figure out is what happened to Blue Raspberry? My only options in Bemidji are White Cherry and Orange Crush. It continues to baffle me that there are people who love Orange flavored drinks. Who are you people? And how did that cherry icee get white anyway? These are questions you can ponder in your down time.

I will now leave you to post a blog on debithilarity.blogspot.com - which Anne has been keeping up all by herself for months now. Due to her amazing work ethic and ability to keep her eye on the prize, she will certainly become a celebrity before the rest of us. I can't wait til you all see me hanging out in Anne's kitchen on an episode of Cribs.
