I Have To Say Something

It's Claim Jumper. It ends with an R. Not an S. It's singular, not plural. Claim Jumper, not Claim Jumpers. Claim. Jumper.



So, the next time you or someone you love accidentally makes this grammatical mistake... now you know the correct way to say it. And knowledge is power.

heehee. why can't i call it Claim Jumper's if I want to??? I mean, I call your house "the Fitzpatrick's" and your last name doesn't end in "s". i was just in the mood to disagree, so, there you have it. :P

I ate lunch there today...haven't ate there in years. Sarah are you sensitive about it because you used to work there or because you are craving the Chocolate Motherload Cake? FYI, I read their calories today and one slice of that cake is 3700 calories!!!

No. Nope. Still not ok, Lol. It miiiiight be ok if it were Claim Jumper's Restaurant. But it's Claim Jumper Restaurants. Restaurants already took the S. There's no room for another S. It's just wrong. ;0)

Kari you might be right... But I remember a guy that actually worked there and he always answered the phones, "Thank you for calling Claim Jumpers..." and I'd be like "DUDE - It's written right in front of you! There's no S!"

Ahh, the things that bug me, so entertaining.

This is so funny that you wrote this Sarah because just two days ago I was telling my son that it's NOT Claim Jumpers, it's CLAIM JUMPER!!! Thanks for confirming it, Sarah! ;O) ~Kelly Hanson

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
