Battle of the Sexes-The men held the women off today and won!

Ticked Off-We were talking this morning about being robbed. Scott had several items stolen from him when he was moving. I've had my car broken in to several times, but the most they got was under $500 each time. Erica wins, she had her 1987 Prelude stolen from her parking lot! Fortunately for her, the stupid criminals just moved it to another parking space to start stripping it and the police found her car minus her front seats. The worst was a caller that said her house was robbed, but they ate her food, drank her beer, and took a shower during the robbery!

$25 Pyramid-Scott played today and got 4 out of 5. The pot is now up to $45.

You Made What?-Yes, you heard right this morning...I was making taco's last night and thought I was putting the seasoning mix in the meat. Turns out it wasn't the taco seasoning kit. When I mixed it with the water, turned around to slice the lettuce, turned back around and I had formed a nice, thick brown gravy in my meat. I put in a brown gravy mix and not the taco seasoning, gross! What recipe did you blow or meal did you ruin because you put in the wrong ingredient?

Stalkarazzi-There is a new thing where guys are hiring photographers to hide when they are going to propose to catch the excitement on film. Some women think it's very romantic and want it to remember forever. Others say it's too weird and almost like spying. What do you think? I think the guy should be commended for putting in the extra thought and effort to get the photos to put in the album. You can't recreate that moment and once you propose, it's gone. I think it's a great idea!
