bored to near certain death

I'm so bored. like really bored. there is seriously nothing to do on my own. so I've been doing nothing but watching tv, walking, and looking for cat pictures on the webbernet. here are some highlights:

happy (late) 4th of July!

I love fireworks. I love the sight, the sound, the smell... I ESPECIALLY like the concept of blowing stuff up! but yesterday was kind of a bummer here in the midwest. at around three o' clock it started to rain.

and rain.

and rain.

but not a hard rain, or a big storm. a long, drizzling rain that just wouldn't stop. the weather threatened to break loose any minute, so my family had to put off going to the local university to see the fireworks early to get a good spot. (believe me, we went last year five hours early and it was already packed.)

so we got there 2 hours before the fireworks were to start and parked a mile away from a reasonable spot. after 20 minutes of bickering about where the heck we were supposed to sit, we set off in search for a good-ish spot. after 2 hours, our waiting paid off. 20 minutes of fireworks. 

whether it was worth the trouble or not, I don't know, but I eventually did have fun.

miracle whip

miracle whip has been given a bad rap for YEARS. people always saying that it's not as good as it's eggy cousin mayonaise, (yes, I spelled that wrong.) and that it will never be anything more than mere salad dressing. 

this must be stopped.

I have reasons why miracle whip lives up to it's name:

1. it tastes way better than mayo. it's much less sour.

2. it's WAY better for you. it's, like, 30 calories!

3. it's just plain prettier. mayo has a sickly yellow tinge to it, whereas miracle whip is perfectly white. 

it's also creamier.

so stop hating miracle whip.

have yourself an MW sandwich. 

kick back and relax.
