Seriously, have you published a book of this stuff? Erma Bombeck was a goddess of mommy-hood, but you are the QUEEN BEE of funny. My husband is like, "what the heck are you guffawing about in there??" I keep telling him, you GOT to come read this! Of course, she's from Arkansas (we vacation in Hot Springs every summer) and being from Texas, we can totally relate! Mommy-hood and just being from Texas are funny things, but you are the best.

I think I could have an entire blog about our local McDonald's.<br /><br />Madame DeFarge: My goodness, you are deprived! :) I actually Googled "sweet tea" to see how it would be defined online. I was trying to read about it as if I had never heard about it. I grew up in the South, but for many years I was in California and they don't do sweet tea there (at least where I was). They do all sorts of weird and hideous things to iced tea there. I'm back in the south now so I can get it whenever I want and don't have to make it (although we do keep a pitcher of it in the fridge all the time). I recently read about something called <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_tea" REL="nofollow">bubble tea</A>. I'm scared and fascinated at the same time and want to try it!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115002505324651653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571590790949407117.post-40005610603867025442009-05-08T11:22:00.000-05:002009-05-08T11:22:00.000-05:00Wow.

Have you ever heard that spoof of a fast-food drive up in which a guy pulls up to the drive through and orders from McD's - he wants a hamburger, a large fries, and a coke (or something like that) and the speakers are like: "blah blah blah blah blah blah." And the guys gets increasingly intense and ticked off and starts yelling... it's soooo funny....
