Random Tuesday: Pictoral Edition

randomtuesday

It's Tuesday again... I SAY THAT - HUH? HMM. HIT THE CAPLOCK BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? SCREW IT, I'M LEAVING IT ON. Maybe not, it looks like I'm yelling. I've lost my train of though. Train of thought? More like one of those old train cars with the teeter-totter handle where a guy on either end has to push it up and down. Now I'm just rambling. It's Random Tuesday! Go over to Keely's (she's hot, she's fit!) and check out all the other crazies... contributors.

Today's random? Random photos. That's right. I know what you're thinking. He's genius. So first off,


The less said about this the better, though it did result in a sympathy bottle of wine from our neighbour so it's not all bad. Next off, you probably think I just sit at home all day with the kids drinking beer and playing video games, but no. I teach them things. Valuable things like structural engineering.


And how to take care of themselves in ANY situation.


Apple lime juice.


I don't like apple juice. Too sweet, too heavy. Add some lime to it though?! Boo-ya! Find some, try it.

Because somebody asked me awhile back what Vietnamese coffee looks like. You get a glass with some condensed milk poured in in. The metal thing on top contains the coffee. You pour hot water into it and it slowly seeps through and fills up the glass. This isn't a fast drink. But oh, so tasty.





I know I've done the album cover meme before, but the one Robin from Cinnamon & Honey has up on her blog is so easy to do I had to do it again. And I love mine. I love it so much I may have to create my own band so I can use this on our first album. Go try, really. Robin has this meme set up so well on her page you barely have to think. That's a serious stamp of approval from Us & Them.

PPS. The tree pose, just for Braja:

  1. Please STOP shouting it is far too early for that.

    Boy oh boy it really is random tuesday!!!

    I had coffee made like that in Peru with local coffee and it really was the bees' knees and the wasps' nipples.

  2. Love the boy posing! I've had something similar to the coffee and it is delish.
    I like the idea of Random Tuesday, though most days are like that with me...

  3. Glad you are teaching structural engineering to the kids. A much better use of toilet paper (which my boys never seemed to use with its original purpose).

  4. OMG...sorry about today's post lol...wow...what kinda weird connection is THAT? :)

  5. And PREMIUM structural engineering, to boot!

  6. That's not structural engineering - it's art.

  7. That was most excellent randomness. Good coffee, good juice, a little yoga, a little engineering. I think you have just balanced the universe. For this one moment. Lovely. Thank you.

  8. My Puerto Rican next door neightbor makes her coffee like that. yum!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Apple lime? Yum. Sounds interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Apple Lime juice is yummy. It is not often you can find it down here in the south, but I have had it and it IS good!

    Now, about this structural engineering, all you need is a few plungers and you got yourself a fun new game for the kids.

  11. Fun! I'll have to try the coffee next time... I'm just so stuck on this one tea they have at the Vietnamese restaurant that I can't ever order anything else...

    ReplyDelete
  12. Loves me some Vietnamese coffee. I'm usually visibly shaking from caffeination afterwards and wondering why I can't string two words together, but it's SO GOOD.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oh, wow! Yours came out really good! ("Because We Hate Them" could totally be my first single too. Yeah, my list of things is loooong.) And thanks for the awesome shout-out!
    PS- The yoga pose is just too adorable.

  21. okay all I gotta say is how did that kid not fall down? Please tell me he fell down - not that I will ill or harm to your child, honestly I do not - but I know I couldn't hold that pose for as long as it takes to take a picture so I am kinda jealous. Yeah, I'm jealous of a little kid - shoot me!

  22. Apple lime juice sounds weird. You're weird. In a good way though, don't worry.

    Your poor car. I think it needs a Bandaid.

    Happy Tuesday!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm up! Oy, that was loud.
    Love the album cover!
    Apple lime looks covetable. Can I gets me some down in Florida? Or maybe I should just squeeze some lime into apple juice..

    ReplyDelete
  24. That's an awfully lot of toilet paper to just...have on hand.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'll take coffee any way I can get it... though I prefer a press, but basically the same idea...

  27. I love Vietnamese coffee. I think sweetened condensed milk coudl improve many things.

    Sorry about the car. Ouch.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hmpf. Apparently I do not have the skills for barely thinking. I could not find random quotations and when I put it in search nothing happened. And my random article??? Alyogyne Huegelii. Sounds like a gross vaginal deformity.

  29. I'm glad there are other people who make towers with their toliet paper.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love how you teach your boys to make a cross to ward off vamps.

    Such a useful skill.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I have been sick for five days. NOTHING (caps lock) sounded good to me at all to consume until I heard about apple lime juice. Must have some now. I wonder if they sell it in South Carolina?

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love, love, love the third picture down on how to handle any situation.

    Wicked funny!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I learn so much reading your blog.

    And I love the toddler tree pose! I teach kid yoga to 3-5 y/os every Sat. and they "lean" and "tilt" just like this! Brilliant!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I like the vampire cross as well. You can never teach them that young enough. THAT and how to RUN from zombies!

    ReplyDelete
  35. dammit. I was hungry for toast.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I really do love me some Vietnamese coffee. Any coffee really.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I found your tweets through Vodka Mom:) Hilarious!

  38. I am jealous, Liam does the tree
    pose better than me. Although
    I have hit the 100% mark on a fair number o the exercises. Can't seem to find my balance on Warrior
    Pose, "Bob" my trainer gets a little insulting on this.

    Vietnamese Coffee, love it, love
    it. Supreme Leaders sister made me some last summer.
    Poor van!

  39. I think I would like that apple and lime juice but I have never seen such a concoction before.

    I'd go nuts if I had to unwrap every single roll of TP! I have to buy multi-packs!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Dat...was...AWESOME!!! Srsly, the toilet paper tower? Followed by an anti-vampire lesson and a tasty beverage? GENIOUS!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Apple lime? Gross. Sucks about the car.

    Nice score with the bottle of wine! The only thing I got out of my neighbour was a hug.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I love balancing on the Wii.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Mmmm, that Vietnamese coffee does look tasty! I almost smelled it through my monitor.

    On the same note, I ducked as the Starbuck's window attendant threw samples of their new instant coffee at me, but then took them home and tried them out: not bad! I had to stir to get the coffee to dissolve entirely, but it was a very tasty cup.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I was cracking up at the pics of the cross and tree pose. You are hilarious!

    ReplyDelete
  45. My boys do yoga on Wii Fit and it is a riot!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. If those had been beer cans stacked, I would have been even more impressed. As it is....toilet paper is pretty good too.

Come on, sailor. I love you long time.
