Iced Mocha Latte with Skim Milk and Whipped Cream

I didn't think this would start with me laughing at my wife but what the heck. My wife is an addict...to Dunkin' Donuts' iced mocha latte with skim milk and whipped cream. She must have them or she can't function normally. It is such an addiction that when our children play in the back yard in the little play car, they drive up to the "window" and order an "iced mocha latte with skim milk and whipped cream". What I think is funny is that she actually orders it with skim milk. If you are going to have a chocolate drink with whipped cream at least go all the way and get the whole milk or cream!!! She is beautiful and thin and all that so I can laugh.

It reminds me of the story of a coworkers wife who is a health freak. She is a vegetarian who barely eats any fats. She uses that liquid spray butter stuff on many things...including cereal. The funny part is that she doesn't spray it on food...she pours it on food. She claims that because the label says it is zero grams of fat per serving she can use as much as she wants and it will be zero grams of fat... Her husband contacted the company and found that there is something like 30 grams of fat in the entire bottle and it is just that the spritz is so little that there isn't "any" fat in a serving...she is really getting a healthy dose of fat in her cereal and popcorn.

I watched a lady at 7-11 in line in front of me tonight buying what looked like her groceries. She was a little large... She was buying things like a 2L bottle of Coke, a pint of premium ice cream, a bag of chips, and a...slim fast breakfast bar...are you serious...

I think tomorrow night I will have one of my favorites...a garden salad with a heap of bacon bits, shredded cheese, and ranch dressing...as long as I have a slim fast for breakfast!!!

Just getting started...

Not really sure what this should be about. I am a science teacher in a suburban high school that has an incredible mix of ethnic groups (white, black, Indian/Pakistani, Chaldean, Russian, Eastern European, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc...) and a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. I teach students from 10th through 12th grade currently in classes that range from advanced placement level to elective level (aka: please fill me with students who don't care or need one more class to graduate).

I married a lifelong friend and we are the parents of 4 children ranging from a baby to a middle schooler. I love them to death but I have the feeling that they will be the subject of a few posts...as they are idiots...except maybe the baby...she hasn't had time to develop the idiot part of her makeup...I am sure it is coming! Of course my wife would never create any material for me to write about...

I live in a neighborhood of post-WWII houses in an "urban suburb". I love my house and spend quite a bit of time trying to improve it. When I moved in I had neighbors that were "quiet and kept to themselves"...that went in the crapper when the couple from hell moved in to one of the homes...

I plan to write about teaching your children, my love of science, living with devil children, my idiot neighbors, and any other topic that sets me off...until next time...peace.
