SO I haven't posted in a while because frankly, I haven't had anything to say. ( I know my husband will disagree with that right off the bat.) I guess I mean I haven't had anything post-worthy to say. So in the absence of anything, I will simply start a list of how things would be if I were in charge.
If I were in charge....
~Every Starbucks would have a drive-through window. It's just too hard for moms to get the baby out of the car seat, walk inside, stand in line, negotiate sliding the hand-protector over the cup when they give it to you while also holding a baby and then walking outside with a hot cup of coffee and a baby and trying to get everything back into the car. (Which do you put in the car first? The baby or the cup? Do you try and balance the cup on top of the car, hoping it won't spill or get cold while putting the baby in the carseat or try to lean in the car and secure the cup in the cup holder of your car while holding the baby at the same time?) Those people who are single with time on their hands can do the "going into the actual store" thing. Those are the same people who have a secret dream of somehow meeting their soul mate while waiting in line at Starbucks - and I don't want to take that away from them. I just want to be able to have my grande chai without the risk of scalding my child.
~Hot dog buns would come in packs of four or five, not eight. I appreciate that most people probably have hot dogs in group settings, but I don't. And when I do have them, I always end up with four extra buns because by the time I want hot dogs again, the buns I bought have little green mold dots on them so I have to buy a whole new package of eight hot dog buns. Why?
~Babies would be born with the ability to blow their noses. I think I've wiped my son's nose a hundred times this week. I can't imagine anything a whole lot worse than having a cold and not being able to blow your nose and having to wait for someone to suction it out or wipe it for you. Babies are born with a lot of other abilities...the ability to cry, poop, suck...why couldn't blow your nose be on the list?
That's all for now. I'll be sure to share more as they come to mind. :-)

this is the reason i usually have a few hot dog buns in a ziplock in the freezer. But they are still never the same... the two sides are almost guaranteed to come apart and you have to toast them.
reminds me of that scene from Father of the Bride where Steve Martin got put in jail for physically removing hot dog buns from the package in the middle of the grocery store while ranting that the number of buns never match the number of hot dogs!
It has been a long time since I have had that problem. We buy our hot dogs in bulk, and 5 or 6 bags of buns at a time - but we freeze them and they usually turn out fine, but you have to freeze them in the quantity that you will use them, because you have to thaw them out at the same time. If you try to put a bunch in the freezer, then break off two frozen ones and thaw them by themselves, it's not going to work well - they will fall apart.
That's awesome. I often daydream about what I would do if I were in charge, it usually involves allowing no cyclists whatsoever on the roads and having drive through confectionary outlets.
And I'm hearing you about those hot dog buns!!
