An Easy $100

So, I did get my internet fixed last night (I am posting this from home), but, although I got the ingredients, I did not make the fruit danishes. And I did not get to golf because it was raining. So the question is this: who out there did not cross their fingers?

I realized that I have not yet written about the bet I made with Laura. I hope she hasn't forgotten about it. I bet her $100 that she would have kids before me. And I feel fairly confident that I am going to win this one. More confidant than Laura anyway, who it looked like had to think twice before shaking my hand that I confidently thrusted out. And don't think I wouldn't take that $100 and tell her to keep it and put it towards her baby. I am not above taking money from a child, or a fetus, or its mother.

Friday is so close I can feel it in the air.

Hey, I need some advice. As many of you know, I am going to NM and I wanted to get my friends something Ohioish with me. I am probably going to take some peanut butter buckeyes, but what else can I take them besides a box of candy that they may or may not like? Any suggestions?

Yay. I'm glad your internet is working.

Laura will definately have kids before you. That's such an easy $100. Think she'll bet me too?

I didn't know you were going to NM. When? I think you should find some Toledo glass and take them some trinket. How about a t shirt that says "Holy Toledo"?

I'll think some more about it, too.

Easy peasy $100. I've already got a list going of possibilities to buy with it.

And thanks for the suggestions. I was also thinking BGSU t-shirts.

Well, you need to put whatever you get your friend in a Longaberger basket. And you should also include some Wendy's in there. Maybe kidnap Neil Armstrong and Drew Carrey.

I wanna make a kid-having bet with Laura, too!

I have never heard of a longaberger basket. I am going to google immediately.

Yeah, making bets with Laura is fun. Although I hope she doesn't go and secretly get her tubes tied just to screw me over in this bet. That would not be playing fair.

those baskets are EXPENSIVE. People collect them like cabbage patch dolls, fine china, and santas.

I bet Nick Lachey would be glad to be a gift, too.

I had Nick Lachey in there originally but replaced him with Drew. I wasn't sure if he was hardcore from Ohio or just lived here for a little bit. So he's hardcore Buckeye?

Yeah, getting her tubes tied sounds like something Laura would do. Does adopting children count as "having children"?

Adapting children counts as having children.
