Thinking of Titles is Hard for Me.

Hello again to all my faithful readers (Mom, I'm talking to you!!!). As you may have heard, Imma be leaving this Pacific Northwest life, and heading to Maui!!! Why, you ask? There's lots of reasons.

1. Learn to surf
2. Get rid of all my socks
3. Adventure
4. Become a better blogger

I'm hoping that by getting out of my comfort zone, I'll be forced to evaluate things around me, and in so doing, be able to externalize those things in blog form. I'm also hoping I don't develop a foot fungus that requires a topical ointment, which would need to be covered by a sock (see reason 2, above). So you may see some changes on here. JKJKJKJK. I'm just gonna be more tan!

Although I'm SUPER stoked to be starting this adventure, I will be sad to be leaving my friends and family. The other morning, while eating Eggos on my Aerobed, in the playroom of my parents' house, I got to thinking of the quirky things I'll miss about living at home. I know what you're thinking. "Kate you already wrote a post about this!". To which I say "That's really rude! I'm getting nostalgic here!".

I've been trying to think of one story that encapsulates the sense of quirkiness that comes from living in the Sandbo household. Maybe I could tell about the time I couldn't find my toothbrush, and when I eventually found it and began brushing my teeth, Steve yelled "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY TOOTHBRUSH?!?!?!?!". Or this other time I couldn't find my toothbrush, and again, when I found it and began brushing my teeth, Steve yelled "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY TOOTHBRUSH?!?!?!?" And then my mother chimed in "No, that's MY toothbrush". Yup I shared a toothbrush with both my parents at one point in my life. Shared one with Steve TWICE!!!

However, both those stories are just a little too weird. I want people to know that we do the same things other families do, we just do them a little differently (I think the Sandbos should make that our Family Mission, and put it on our crest). So, here's a picture that subtly gets at that point.

Let me explain what's going on here. Above is a digital image of some coffee creamer. Now, in the past 10, maybe 20 years, creamer companies have developed and perfected a lid which flips open revealing a spout, which allows you to pour the perfect amount of creamer into your coffee (or whatever). But some people (S.L. Sandbo) are afraid that that lid won't keep their creamer fresh. HOW CAN A PLASTIC, CLICK TO CLOSE, LID KEEP YOUR DAIRY FRESH?!?!?!? They might wonder. Well fear not! In an attempt to keep people from secretly poisoning one another, there's a foil seal, under the lid, over the jug opening! So, if you're worried about cream freshness, just don't take that all the way off! Peel it back half way, and recover the jug after each use! Sure it will render the perfect pour spout useless, but who gives a rat's a$$ (one, Mr. Sandbo, might eloquently put it)?

So in closing, it's pretty plain to see that the things I'll miss the most about the Seattle area, are the things that make life a LITTLE more difficult, but a LOT more special!!!!
