i did a little shopping this weekend in preparation for the spynotebook halloween party. lealu found most of her costume (cammo pants, black tank top, sunglasses). i happened to come across the perfect wig for chip. don’t be fooled – he LOVES it!

i found a wig for myself, too. but you’ll have to come to the party to see it in all it’s glory! i’m hiding – incognito – until then.

i knew someday weird al would finally write a song about me.

put the salad fork down! just when you thought it was safe to eat your leafy green vegetables again, there’s been an announcement of a lettuce recall. (and we were worried about mad cow disease! pshaw!)
i can hear kids across the nation cheering with glee. “take that, mom!” meanwhile, the manager at the lettuce souprise you is sobbing uncontrollably in his soup. “it was more than just a catchy name! it was my life, my love, half of my restaurant!”
of course, how did i spend my lunch hour this fine sunday afternoon? stuffing my face with the jason’s deli super deluxe salad bar — quite possibly the most green vegetables i’ve consumed all year. that’ll teach me! (maybe the free frozen yogurt will counter the effects of the e. coli. i got the swirley kind! c’mon, surely that has the same effect as, you know, green tea or something…)

The lettuce scare comes amid other federal warnings that some brands of spinach, bottled carrot juice and recent shipments of beef could cause grave health risks — including paralysis, respiratory failure and death.

now there’s a little something to contemplate while you’re savoring your last morsels from dinner.
