Pet Peeve

When ordering dinner tonight we decided to choose a local pizza joint that is down the street from our house. We logged onto the website to get the menu and were excited to see that they had a new (and vastly improved) homepage. This particular website had been in the not quite finished stage for several years (Insert your text here). As I clicked further into the site, however, I was first confronted with horrendous and ridiculous navigation. Further into the site I was distraught by the grammar errors and random misuse of words.

Every morning at 9:00 am we begin making the dough for our famous crust. The yeast we use comes from a special strand given to us from a bakery in Italy. It’s mixed with just the right amount of flour, spices and filtered water that is a precise temperature. We mix it up together in our Hobert mixer for 11 minutes 13 seconds. When it gets to its perfect consistency we sheet it into pizza balls. The pizza balls proof in our walk in cooler...
(strain. Hobart. Can't sheet into balls. You can tray the pizza dough balls, and once they are proofed you can then sheet (roll the ball into a sheet) them, but you can't sheet the balls)

I was willing to forgive them for all this - at least it was completed - until I decided to look for a suitable coupon for our meal and found this:


When one chooses to use a web design template, one must follow through and make sure ALL pages are complete (or removed) prior to publishing!! It irritates me immensely when I click on a link and find the page filled with the gibberish filler paragraphs that templates use to show the user what it will look like when complete.

Squirrel in our backyard

This squirrel roams our backyard frequently. For those of you who don't know squirrels, this is not a normal color. We like to call this particular squirrel the "Chew Squirrel" or "Mini-Chew" because it is the same exact color as the puppy. We also have black squirrels (which look like tiny little cats with long fingers).


Look at his lips. It's like it's thinking, "oh, you caught me!"

Uh oh.

Note the current high (70*) and the high tomorrow (36*). It's going to get ugly tonight.

Sigh.

Nothing can make you get up on the wrong side of bed the morning after like harsh lighting and full length mirrors. I hate clothes shopping.

I curse thee, McD!

Today I requested a mocha from McDonald's for lunch. Their coffee machine was broken...again. It has been broken at least 3 times a month for the last 3 months. In addition, my co-worker tried to get ice cream for her kids yesterday at the same McD's - also broken. I'm very disgruntled.

To make me even more irritated, when I drove past the same McD after dropping off Craig at work after lunch, their message board (the red dot ones that change every few second, what are those called?) had "Need a little pick-me-up? Grab a mocha". Well, I would, IF YOUR MACHINE WAS WORKING!!!

If your machine is broken, do you want to advertise something that isn't available? Take it off your sign.

Meet the who?

Today we went to see the 3D version of Meet The Robinsons. Cute movie, quite enjoyable. We could think of nothing better than to put the 3D glasses we got at the movie on the dogs. Neither dog was impressed.
