Food For Thought

Today while shopping for groceries I found myself staring at the boxes of cherry tomatoes.. Usually it only takes a quick glance to find the ones that say organic and I'm on my way, but today when I picked up the organic plastic box I noticed it said in tiny letters, "product of Mexico."  Hmm, this caught my attention.  I don't have  issues with Mexico, but I am pretty sure the USA is more than capable of producing an organic tomato.  As I looked around I noticed the other boxes of cherry tomatoes were products of the USA, but none were organic.  Super lame.. So this left me with a choice- buy tomatoes from my own country with tons of chemicals in them, or grab the organic mexican tomatoes that probably traveled who knows how many miles to get to the store.  After at least 5 minutes debating which tomatoes to get, I ended up going with the American ones.   No, I don't like ingesting chemicals.. but I do like helping our country's farmers make a buck and not supporting the unnecessary gas spent on trucking produce from one country to another.  Yes, I know.. it doesn't get any more random than this.

They Call It Puppy Love




A collection of funny love quotes as told by kids

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.

Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.

Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.

Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings.

Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.

Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.

Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.

My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.

Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken.

Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.

Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.

I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.

When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.

Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.

You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget, and it's good for them to get reminded.
