I guess it's kinda the same...

I had a conversation on Friday that went just like this...

Me: Did you watch the news for your English homework last night?
Student: Yeah, I watched TMZ.
Me: Seriously?? I don't think that counts.
Student: Aww, why not?Is this what the world is coming to?
I'm depressed.

Dude Where's My Van?

Jason and I went on a date last night (no way, I don't believe it either), and when we got home this is what we saw. A true to life, hand crafted Marvin the Martian Van. Someone must really love this cartoon character. It's really hard to see, but the paint job is amazing. Black glitter! The interior was lined with awesome fabric curtains and it had red upholstered seats. It also had a little Marvin flag attached to the antenna, but I cut it off in the picture. This was by far the coolest thing I've seen all week.

This van brings me back to the good old days on Karmont with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Van. That van is part of the reason that I wanted to live on this street when I was little! Does anybody remember that one? Who knows, maybe the same person owns this van, too. They probably have a collection of cartoon vans in a museum somewhere.

This was such a nice surprise when we pulled up last night, that I had to share it with all of you. I tried when I woke up this morning to take better pictures of it , but it was gone. Who knows, maybe it was all a dream.

If anyone knows who owns this van, let me know, because I want to meet them!


I hope that this van makes you all as happy as it made me.

Yam Experiment Day One

We went over to the Yost in law's house yesterday and Gayle had this beautiful plant in her kitchen window. It was a yam with leaves! I couldn't believe how healthy and nice the plant looked. It was a pretty good size and she had been growing it for only a couple of weeks. Now, I am going to try it.

Wish me luck, y'all.

When was the last time you...

enjoyed a chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream cone from Mr. Pete's Patio?



It.
Was.
Fantastic.
