Some random things I just don't understand...

1. Why do perfectly normal drivers try to enter the expressway (I-90 and even Bypass 20) going 40-45 miles per hour?  I believe this is a direct quote from my drivers education teacher (from circa 1990):  "Enter the highway going the speed limit .... or atleast accelerate like a fool to reach the speed limit when you merge on ... unless of course, you want to die!" 

2. Why is organic produce more expensive than regular produce?  Organic farmers do not need to purchase pesticides to spray on their plants thus saving them money ... right?  I feel like this could be a 7th grade math story problem..."If Jack has a farm and Bill has a farm, and Jack grows organic produce..."

3. Why does my Easy Guacamole recipe claim to serve 16?  Sixteen what....Smurfs?  Sixteen two year-olds?  I will post the recipe...then you can tell me if you concur with the "Serves 16." 

4. Why are the Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations out?  It's August.  Granted - I have started knitting Christmas presents....but for real - decorations?  I'm the girl who loves ALL-THINGS CHRISTMAS (ask Lauren -- formerly the secretary who is now Lauren the teacher :))....but seriously.....  They should've waited 'til after Labor Day. 

5. How is it possible that my near-death spider plant has resurrected itself?  It was on its last leg (okay - this is cracking me up because in my head, I am totally thinking...Spider plant....spiders have 8 legs!!!!)  Any-who...I neglected Spidey and he was knocking on death's door and then I had this epiphany to set him outside in the sun....and three weeks later...HE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And he's doing sooo well.  Yeah!  I'm glad he didn't bite-the-dust because I believe my Mom once said, "Angie, no one kills spider plants!"  I would hate to be the FIRST GIRL IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD TO KILL A SPIDER PLANT!  That would be totally embarrassing....  I mean there are some things that I enjoy being...Angie the Sunday School teacher.....Fun Angie....Angie the Engineering Secretary....Angie the space cadet....Angie daughter of Jim and Nancy....Angie, big sister of Bryan....  I don't want to be a spider plant killer.  That's just wrong.

So there you have it....five things that are totally unrelated but all equally perplexing to the girl with curly hair...well, technically today I am the girl with straight hair....but alas, you know me both ways...

Tootly-Doodly-Do.
