After a brief potluck vacation, I am glad to announce…
to all 12 of you…
that POTLUCK is back and better than ever*.
*this claim is unsubstantiated.
Whoo hoo for the pro-potluck agenda.
What brought readers to the Nirvana this week?
–“cereal salad”
–“any which wall”
–“adult silly bandz”
Really? Â You need ADULT themed silly bands?
Let’s find out who won comment of the week!
It was really fun to read all the reasons why y’all didn’t want to go to the store. Â There were some REALLY compelling reasons! Â Here was my favorite:
“
OMG, I so don't want to go to the store, but REALLY have to because we are down to less than half a roll of toilet paper. And I have 4 children. I have specifically told the boys they aren't allowed to poop today. Or at least not at home.
I will go tomorrow, I promise!!!!” — Desiree
Oh how I may have said this exact same thing in the past…
Desiree is the lucky recipient of a PRIZE!
*insert prize music here*
*Announcer voice* Â Desiree has won a six pack of Little Debbie Petites courtesy of our unofficial potluck sponsor Little Debbie Snackcakes! Â AND the good news is that they will be delivered to her door so that she won’t have to leave the house.
And now for a little feature I will be calling, “
Lessons Holly Learned the Hard Way so You Don’t Have To“.
See the cup above?
It is the $12.99 refillable cup I purchased at
Six Flags over Texas last week with the justification that I would take it back all season for $1 refills.
To rid it of its sticky-ness I put it in the dishwasher to prepare for a return trip to the park.
Oooops!
It now won’t stand on its own, it has a liquid capacity of about 1/2 the intended volume and it is pretty much ruined.
I am going to be SO excited to purchase ANOTHER 13 buck cup on my next visit.
Ugh.
And now for another installment of Holly gives Advice to Companies who say ‘who is Holly?’
I believe that ANY business could benefit from a drive thru.
I would be much more likely to go to a business if it had one.
I know you are
thinking…of course! Â
My local bakery should add one or
if only that grocery store on the corner would deliver milk to my car, but I am talking even BIGGER.
Shoes! Â Accessories! Â Home goods! Â Pet Stores! Â Hardware Stores! Â Electronics!
Yep. Â I expect to be contacted by a national thinktank within the hour...
It is time for
The Word I am Working into Conversation this Week…
NO!
My boys are killing me with the lawyering and the debating and the
moving the line a little here and making it squiggly there.
This week I am putting the kibash on MAYBE and just declaring a simple…NO!
I might say it nice and not in capital letters.
Alrighty! Â

Let’s see
What is in Holly’s Fruit Bowl!
The copy of
101 Optimal Life Foods I received on Friday when hanging out with the author, David Grotto,
Lea Anne,
Dwan and the
California Strawberries. I realize that having ACTUAL fruit in the fruit bowl would be better…but it is a step in the right direction.
May your Monday be
dishwasher-safe.
Hey! Came by to see your photowalk pics and was astonished to see my six flags cup on your blog! We did the exact same thing! We took ours back to six flags and they gave us another one…did you happen to save yours?
Anyhoo, it was great meeting you in Dallas. I’m off to look at your photos now…feel free to stop by and check out mine! 🙂
Hi, I have been following your blog for a long time. I just recently started a blog of my own and decided to do a potluck. I don’t know if you have an answer for this but I can’t seem to put the blog hop code into my post…..I have wordpress.com is that the problem?
Oh and I really think you have a fantastic blog…..I aspire to have a blog as good.
Ah, the $13 amusement park Coke. I have to give kudos to Sea World, we bought Shamu kids’ packs there last year and 1,375,632 washes later, they are holding up just fine!
I love this, I am so joining last week. Sorry about your Six Flags cup, we usually get those yearly too. I’ll have to post a funny dishwasher story with my potluck next week.
My brain is in the same place as Claudia’s. And I’m good with the drive-through concept except maybe not for bra fittings.
Oh my gosh. LAUGHED my head off about your $13 cup : ) Ha Ha Ha Ha HA!
I came to see your photo walk pictures. I know you had to have made yours totally stellar with your super personality! : )
Oh my word – the drive thru – the drive thru!!! Every single business would have one if the corporate world was run my mothers of small children.
Afternoon drive to run errands = sleeping child = more time to spend more money if given the chance. Hello!
Um, that cup, kind of obnoxious, in an Adult-themed Silly Bandz kind of way.
CRAP!! I guess that gives us an excuse to go back to six flags. But that also means you are back to one cup.. Which means ryan wont drink after rhett eats and I want a drink first adn what are youg oing to put in the cup??Oh the joys of one cup and you had such great plans for 2 cups.. I mourn the loss of the cup with you.. so sad.. should we have a wake for the cup… Ode to green cup.. YOu were her for such a short time but hte dreams we had for you.. YOu quinched our thirst.. blah blah blah.. 🙂
Because this is a family blog, I won’t tell you what that green thing (which you say was a cup) looks like. BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I’m sure all the males in your household already noticed, and may have commented among themselves.
