food for thought

the fatty in me is shining through right now real bad. i've been googling discontinued foods and drinks all day thanks to a thread i read on another site.

foods that should be brought back:
01. doritos 3Ds. those were delish, and you can't deny it. eventhough they kind of tasted like air..

02. cinnamon mini buns cereal. when i was a kid, i was head over heels for this stuff. memory lane: my sister had an 90s cassette tape that she sent proofs of purchases in for.. and probably like $5 too. roxette. remember the song from pretty woman? it must have been love, but it's over now. that's roxette. i can remember that tape sooo vividly. it had like two songs on it, and we listened to it all the time.


03. sprite remix, vanilla coke, and SURGE. sprite remix and vanilla coke were my sodas of choice in high school. and surge.. oh my gosh. i can remember buying a 60-cent can out of the coke machine at school every day in junior high.


04. planters cheese balls. i had know idea that these were discontinued, and honestly, i am shocked. and disappointed. i had my mom buy these for me for all of my basketball road trips in high school. sooo good.


05. bugles. just like every kid in america, i found joy in placing a bugle on the tip of each finger on my left hand, then one by one, removing a delicious bugle from each finger with my mouth. you know you did it too.


and those that should just stay gone forever:
01. orbitz. the fruit flavored beverage with those mysterious gummy floaties. the drink looked like a lava lamp, but i guess that's why we all had to have it, right?


02. crispy m&ms. nowhere nearly as good as peanut, peanut butter, dark chocolate, almond, or plain. i mean really.


03. butterfinger bbs. but that could just be me being biased against all butterfinger products. they just aren't my favorite.


04. oreo-os. worst cereal ever.


and now i need your help! i'm trying to remember the name of these suckers my mom used to buy when i was in junior high. they came in this cute tin can. i remember a cow. i think it was on the front of the tin can? they were half one flavor and half another, like chocolate-banana, vanilla-strawberry, and other flavors. one color was on top, and the other on the bottom. i just can't remember the dang name! please tell me someone knows what i'm talking about.

and after all of that, it's a wonder i'm not 300 pounds.


that's all i've got,

uppidy update

this is going to be super quick. i'm doing this on my phone, and i'm quickly finding that it ain't easy.

my mom, brother, sister in law, and neice.. make that ADORRRABLE neice zoey are coming to town sunday! this makes me very happy. i haven't seen them in far too long, and the timing couldn't be any more perfect. i need them in my life right now.

plus..

they're meeting adrian for the first time. hello.. big deal. i'm nervous. he's nervous. but we're both really excited. i just know my family is going to love him because honestly, what's not to love? he's wonderfullll! the best thing to ever happy to me.

cue the aww's.

i get the entire week off from work. thank heavens. this is much needed. it also gives me time to do all the things i've been putting off and blaming on my full-time schedule such as.. going to the doctor, shopping for spring clothes, getting a haircut, making some necessary phone calls, and so on.

by the way, i'm so happy for a qwerty keyboard on my phone right now. but my fingers are cramping and i really don't have much more to say.. yet.

just wait. the big news is coming soon.

buenos dias,
shannon
