Mmmmm...

Milk and orange juice and ice cream and strawberries from Albertson's. Life is good.

May I add that it's funny that I had to buy milk and orange juice myself? Well okay, nobody really drinks milk around here, but instead of having 100% juice, I always found mixed juice drinks. Upon questioning, my aunt said that regular juice is fattening because of the sugar, and I almost said, "And the stuff you have in the fridge and pantry that contains mostly water and high fructose corn syrup is not as fattening?"

Almost.

But I didn't. Very much like how I almost bash my head against a wall whenever the importance of having straight A's and high SAT scores is brought up. But I don't. (Did I mention that my aunt works in the medical field and should really know about that corn syrup?)

I try to be sneaky with this. First it's mysterious cartons of orange juice and milk suddenly appearing in the fridge. Then, maybe it's introducing my cousin to something fun that hopefully she finds interesting so she can put something down on her college apps besides perfect stats. That doesn't mean squat if you're gunning for a private college, and I have a feeling that most people who obsess over the numbers are aiming that high. If you want to know more, my sister at Stanford will be happy to share her opinions unto you. She can go on forever about this stuff. Me, I'm trying to channel my mom and not obsess over other people's lives too much. Practicing my restraint, if you will.

In other warm and fuzzy news, this is indeed. Looks cozy. I want one. :D
