A few weeks ago when I was home, I decided to get a cold drink from the back refrigerator.  You know…the old one that is a lovely shade of avocado and only houses ice cream, canned drinks and big serving pieces of food during Thanksgiving and bridal showers?

Except when you live in the country, you might find other things.

You see at my parents’ house, the ice cold drinks are nestled up against Styrofoam containers of bait.  That’s right people.  Worms are living next to the Diet Pepsi and whatever mystery is hiding in the orange Tupperware container from 1975.

Which reminds me…does anyone from the south drink Diet Pepsi?  No.  But my Mama does.  We don’t know why.  If she could buy Tab in bulk, I’m sure she would.  And I can guarantee she wishes the Diet 7Up was Fresca.

And why is the lemon icebox pie BEHIND the worms?  Seriously?  Can’t we put it on the empty shelf below and move the SECOND crate of worms up top with the tainted caffeine?

This picture is just all sorts of wrong.  And that includes the fact that the Dr Pepper seems to be missing even though Diet Pepsi is annoyingly abundant.  Heaven forbid that I drink water at the realization.  I’m pretty sure I washed the lemon pie down with a banana daiquiri.

It’s important to stay healthy and get four to six servings of fruit daily.

I knew my sister truly loved me when she tortured her kid in order to capture a video that pimps out my website.  This makes up for the time she dropped my Strawberry Shortcake doll from the upstairs balcony.

Two best parts in this video of my niece:
1. How she airs her tongue out because the taste is so nasty.
2. My sister laughing hysterically in the background.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I’d like to introduce the readers of iHateGreenBeans to an amazing little guy.  His name is Walker.  And even though he turned 11 months old this week, he already knows one of the fundamental truths that I hold so dear to my heart.

Take a look:

It doesn’t get more clear than that folks.  Green beans are evil. 

Walker is so smart to recognize this when his taste buds are so young.  He’s also a rock star when it comes to other things.  Like fighting cancer. 

About four months ago, I received a Facebook message from Walker’s parents.  Missy and Chad informed us that their precious little boy had been diagnosed with a malignant Rhabdoid Tumor. 

The strength that Missy, Chad and their immediate family all possess is humbling to read.  As I complain daily about about how my knee hurts when I bend it, they are faithful that God’s plan for Walker’s life is a perfect one and are prayerful that He will perform a miracle on his little body.

When this YouTube clip was included in Missy’s latest update, I emailed her and basically said she was not expressing true Pi Phi sisterhood qualities if she didn’t let me post it on my website. 

Her only request was that I include their family website so others could be encouraged by Walker’s amazing story. 

See what I mean?  They choose to be faithful.  They choose to fight.  That’s their family way. 

Please feel free to visit www.prayforwalker.com and read about story.  Prepare to be inspired. 

And let’s all send up a little prayer for Walker…my green bean hatin’ buddy!

I couldn’t let the day go by without mentioning the late, great Elvis Presley. He would have been 75-years-old today.

My Mama LOVES Elvis Presley. In honor of her being his biggest fan, I’ve included her favorite Elvis moment of all time.

The King + a tight, white bedazzled jumpsuit + the cool instrumental opening + Hawaii = GREATNESS!
