Recently, I asked someone I know for some advice, here’s what they gave me:

I received this in an email from my mom earlier.  She rarely forwards things, and they are usually pretty cute or hilariously funny when she does.  Since I enjoyed it, I thought I’d share. 

I’m not sure how this will post (still new here, and the only word that describes me for the past few days is *dumb*)…so forgive me if it comes out bad.

Better late than

Pregnant

This morning I’ve decided to eat some toast with peanut butter on it.

Those who know me know, at this point in my life, I have too much time on my hands (something I never thought I’d hear myself say 6 months ago).  So, as a result, I find myself thinking maybe a little bit too much.

Now, when it comes to peanut butter, I use Jif.  I love it.  It’s the best.  I admit I don’t eat PB too often, but guaranteed when I do, it’s Jif (usually creamy – not crunchy, the regular kind or Simply Jif).

In my fantastic mind, I think the majority of people in the world use Jif.  Yes, I realize some people may use another type, but, still, I like to believe the majority of peanut butter consumed is Jif because I like to believe that everyone is like me.  Afterall, choosy moms choose Jif.

So I got to thinking…what is it that makes Jif better? 

Well, for one it’s smooth and creamy.  I remember I one awful day in elementary school where I chose the peanut butter and jelly lunch instead of the other ”healthy” meal the cafeteria was providing.  I took a bite of my sandwich to ”enjoy” the most sticky, dry, stick-to-the-roof-of-your mouth-for-three days nasty paste that resembled something like peanut butter, and a little bit of grape jelly on two slices of Wonder bread.

Another thing…I must admit that once…I strayed.  I was young and still learning about life.  I was trying to prove that Mom isn’t always right (but that’s hard to prove since she is, in fact, always right).  Just this once, I purchased another brand.  It was on sale, the flavor sounded delicious, and the packaging was just adorable.  After tasting it just once I realized my mistake.  I was forced to deal with the not-nearly-as-pleasant-as-Jif aftertaste.  So, of course, I discarded the item.

Now, what ARE they doing differently that makes Jif so fantastic?

Is it a secret ingredient?  Is it the process?  Is it the packaging?  Do they secretly use the Keebler Elves to get the job done?

And, WHAT IF this magical difference that makes the product so desirable is actually the biggest harm we could ever encounter in our lives?  WHAT IF IT’S THE MAIN CAUSE OF CANCER????  What if science is wrong, and it’s not smoking, the sun, drinking, asbestos, aspartame etc. but it’s this one thing with peanut butter?  And not just any peanut butter, but JIF PEANUT BUTTER?

Maybe, this should be researched.

Or, as my father would say if he read this…maybe I should get a job.

ok…I just googled peanut butter and cancer there are some articles on peanut butter and cancer due to aflatoxin in peanuts…but, this is still different than what I was suggesting above.

Hi, friends.

I kinda like how they started this little blog for me with “Hello world!” so I think I will keep it and just “edit” it.

Is there a welcome wagon on this site?  Do welcome wagons still come around when people move into new homes?  I would love if websites had welcome wagons.  Maybe that’s a million-dollar idea.

Or not.

I thought I had something to say here, but I think I lost track.

Thanks for stopping by…hope to see you again soon!
