And then there was none

We've bought Cheese Head string cheese since the teenager was no bigger than a Cabbage Patch kid.  Both kids ate these cheese sticks with no complaint until I decided to product test for Influenster.

As a product tester I was asked to test out Sargento's Cheese.  Big mistake!  Now I have two packages of Cheese Head cheese that remains uneaten and they have written Sargento String Cheese on the grocery list four times.  It's really not that much more expensive and even I have to admit it tastes so much better.  But what is a girl to do with 32 pieces of string cheese they now refuse to eat???

Bicycles For Rent???

Let me start off by saying this is only my third blog post.  The writing equally matches the pay I receive for doing this blog.  I promise to improve that skill if you promise to keep reading.  I'm pretty sure the pay will remain poor.  

I am fortunate that my job requires me to travel to some pretty fantastic places.  Aspen, CO has to be one of the healthiest places I've visited.  

I get to my hotel and ask the clerk if he has the number to a local cab company that can get me downtown.  He looked at me as if I had something funny on my face, which caused me to start wiping away at imaginary dirt, bugs and otherwise unsettling things that one could find on their face.  Finally he says, no one takes a cab downtown you can just walk.

So I did walk until I came upon the most wondrous of all things--a bicycle/electric car kiosk.  Since I was in Aspen I opted for the bike but believe me that electric car was tempting if for no other reason to say I rented a car from a kiosk!

Dueling Piano Night

A mom walks into a bar on dueling piano night with her little boy dressed as a ninja (the boy, not the mom).
Not so very long ago we went on a trip to one of those indoor waterpark/hotel places.  There is only so much fun you can have at one of those places before you start to question the decision to go in the first place. As we were about to call it a night my youngest announces he is hungry and wants hotel food for dinner.  Off we go to their bar/grill to find it's dueling piano night.

My inner voices were battling--in one corner I had the reasonable me who said this is not a very good idea; but the other voice kept saying--music is a fine art, let's add some culture to the boys night.
The latter voice won.  Caleb had a blast sitting next to one of the piano players and chatting him up.  The audience had a great time laughing at the antics.

Starting To Blog

My friends and family keep saying I need to start a blog, so we're going to see what happens.
