Also green beer is disgusting. It's just gross light beer (Coors, Bud, etc.) with food dye.

Hey now! Let's not dis the light delicious beers!

Easter bunny pictures are creepy AF. Worse than Santa pics.

[cougarette]

I'm planning on adding green food coloring to my fave local beer tonight. DH will probably freak out.

Ahhhhh nooooo! I can't drink them. They remind me of college. Warm, yellow beer in a red solo cup.

Well there's the problem. You need a nice frosted mug!

But how do you feel about green wine?

I don't think Easter should be a gift giving holiday. I mean, a new outfit is one thing, but my kid will likely be getting several presents from his grandmas, even though I asked both of them to not to.
Oh and my MIL arranging for V's first egg hunt to be while DH and I are at work is bull.

Eta, I really that sounds rude, but his grandmas have used every holiday as a present giving opportunity. DH and I don't feel that holidays should be all about presents, and we just asked them to let us do his Easter basket. Which was promptly ignored.

Ummm hell no! I'd be annoyed at the presents if I specifically said none but first Easter egg hunt without me NO WAY! Put your foot down and put it down hard. there are only so many firsts and even if Easter means nothing to you, it's not something to miss.

Shamrock shakes are gross.

Yup I said it. They taste like toothpaste.

Had my yearly shamrock shake yesterday. And dipped fries in it yuuuum!

[kaydee0402]

UO: Shamrock shakes are delicious!

[kaydee0402]

And so are Cadbury Creme Eggs.

Thin mints are gross and should not be the spokescookie for girl scouts.

Boooo!

Man, I am craving those cookies now!

Store versions of thin mints and samosas taste better.

Also only selling gs cookies in front of stores is lazy and contributes to the decline of the neighborhood as a social unit. Come to my door and I'll buy cookies. Parents can monitor from the sidewalk.

We did both when I was a GS. Well, we stopped booth sales once we made it to high school cause people preferred to buy from the younger girls. But booth sales are nothing new & don't mean the troop didn't do door to door sales.

But don't get me started on just selling them online through your parents' social media! Not useful to the girl at all.

I can't even remember the last time I had a gs come to my door to sell despite living in neighborhoods with lots of kids. Booth sales have been around for at least the last 15 years, but it seems all the parents are terrified of sending their kids door to door.
