Sniglets

Remember sniglets?  Well, today "sniglet" means little bits of information that will update you on the goings on here with the Frat Pack + Me.

First off, I took a photography class with a neighbor (Hi! if you're reading ;)

and sorta learned to take photos on manual.

Which has been a goal of mine for a number of years.

Hence, the floral photos and such.

I say, "sorta learned" because when I attempted to take photos of my son playing basketball yesterday, all bets were off.

Hence, you will see no basketball shots on here today.

So I have decided to keep my blog name as is.

But not before asking for input from the actual Frat Pack.

My oldest looked at me with his 17 year old eyes with a look that said,

"really? um, don't really care.  Whatever."

Moving on.

The youngest member of the Frat Pack had a few ideas.

Please keep in mind this was after he asked if he could buy a new X-box game.

You might be able to guess what my answer was.

His first suggestion was, "The Funsucker."

His next suggestion was, "The Anti-Xbox Live Mom That Makes Her Kids Sad."

Catchy, right?

His final suggestion was, "Clean Eating with Mildred."

I may be going a tad overboard with declaring all food consumed up in here

either "clean" or "unclean."

So, Frat Pack + Me it shall remain.

Last story, I promise.

(P.S. my neighbor suggested the above shot and I love it!)

I was calling my new health insurance company on the way to the doctor with my youngest.

The call was taking place via blue tooth, so my son was obviously hearing the call.

The lady said,

Hello, this is Blah-de-Blah Health insurance,

Champagne speaking.  May I help you?

Yep.  Her name is really Champagne.

After the call ended my son said,

"Well, I think we know what her parents were drinking when she was conceived."

I love life with teenagers.
