Amy at MomAdvice is doing a review of her Grocery Game trial. She’s a big Aldi fan (the Aldi Queen, in fact), so I’ll really be interested to hear what she has to say.
In celebration and solidarity, I thought I’d do another shamelessly commercial Thursday Thirteen to share my love for all things Aldi.

Yea! I won a prize, people. Ok, it was random, but it’s still a really great prize (a matted photo of Allison’s). And I got an honorable mention. And my honey is the haiku buckaroo! Go congratulate him and go check out the other winners. I thought everyone did a great job on this contest.

In case you can’t read the sign, that’s the “Key Wester” fish and pasta house here in icy Illinois.
From their web site: “Looking for an escape? Then come to Key Wester Fish and Pasta House and enjoy the romance of the tropics in a casual dining atmosphere. “

You are a great daughter, a good big sister, and a wonderful friend. You are beautiful. You are a joy. You are kind and thoughtful. I am so glad that God sent you to our family.
You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God. ~Isaiah [...]

Lips part, breath quickens
tongue searches for another

Baby wipes his nose
on his shirt. Oh Lord, when will
February end?
try it
here’s a couple more…
Driveway slippery
snow forecast for tonight
d@*# shovel beckons
Bitter cold assaults
Nose hairs crystallize and stick
Lungs fill and empty

My daughter and I are working on these for Valentine’s Day. Anyone have any ideas for the message inside? The sample says U R GR8, which I like; but I’d like to mix it up a little bit since we’ve gotta make at least 24. So far I’ve come up with:
U R A QT
