The Answer to America’s Oil Dependency May be in My Children’s Noses
Merry post Christmas y’all. All is well with our household. New Webkinz have been adopted, we have remote control cars, Death Star transformers, new clothes. Also, it appears that my answer to the Great Butterscotch Debacle seems to have worked. My daughter has accepted the non-robotic stuffed horse into the pack and all is right with the world.
Oh…except we all have raging colds. It started with my son on Friday and has now pollinated everyone. We spent the afternoon at the doctor’s office (oh…and on the off chance anyone in that waiting room is reading this…so sorry :). Apparently, listening to the noises made by the Death Star transformer and Puppy Grow over and over again is not charming to anyone (who knew). So anyway…over the last few days I got to thinking. I’ve come up with my billion dollar idea. We have to figure out how to run cars on boogers. Seriously. I know all the mom’s out there can back me up on this one. It’s an infinite supply! I could probably run our van on my kids alone. We just have to come up with a name for it. Boogoline? Mucousoline? Sneezel Fuel? (ok, that last one was bad…the rest were brilliant though 
Ugh.

What about Probscurun? Maybe Pickafuel? I kinda like Snotenol myself. I’d be hoping for at least 30 miles per NoseLoad. “Honey, I’m tired of hearing you sniffle … would you please go blow your nose into the carburator??”

Well, mine wanted nothing but. Sadly (for mom) she was too sick to really enjoy her that morning. Though, she is making up for it now! “No, Hannah, you cannot sleep on Butterscotch”.

I think I like Pickafuel. Though I really think the runnier kind would be more cost effective.

“No Hannah you cannot sleep on Butterscotch.:
LOL. I’d add that to my list of Sentences I Never Thought I’d Utter!

ok, my 75 year old mother wants butterscotch. apparently she became enamored on a recent visit to Target. I think she’s considering getting it for my niece’s son. aye yi yi.
I have a book for you that I may have mentioned before. It’s called cooking w/hot flashes, but includes other ways to use our bodily functions to lessen our environmental impact. I see a new edition focusing on the younger generation rather than middle age women!
