Weekend and Wedding

October 29, 2007 · 1 Comment

We had a good time this weekend. Jennifer went to a little party one of her coworkers was throwing on Friday night while I went over to the Harms’ house for pot roast and Settlers of Catan. It was fun. Pam came from way behind to win at the last minute. I would be bitter but it was so well played. We never saw it coming. (more…)

Let’s Compare!

October 29, 2007 · 3 Comments

My sister, over at walkingintherain.wordpress.com made an interesting post a few days ago comparing her home (right now) in New Zealand to her usual home, The States.

Since I am from Seattle, but live in Missouri, I thought I would do a comparisn between Seattle, my home, to Missouri, my adopted home. It’s only funny if you’ve been to both, but I have, so I am laughing!

Missouri- “Hi ya’ll!”                    Seattle- “I don’t know you, get away from me”

Foods
Missouri- yams with marshmallow     Seattle- organic Sweet Potato
venison sausage                       - kosher tofu dogs
Chicken Stock                          - chicken broth made from free range chickens
Milk with extra hormones                - the cow was worshipped, then milked.
Diet soda with a large Big Mac   - sweepings off the floor, labeled “trail mix

Clothing-
Missouri- One stop short of a burka.   

Seattle - Mini skirts, uggs, and a tube top. Year round.
                                                                                                          

Hair cuts-

Missouri- The Nascar special- 5$ at Wal-mart!
Seattle- Done by a man named Elliot who is more woman than you’ll ever be. 150$.

General-
MIssouri- cheap as heck, all around            
Seattle- It costs a fortune, and you must sell your soul to Starbucks on your way in the door.

Not as good as Meghans, but still, living in MO is pretty awesome.
