Why?*

Why didn’t I think to invent something like the Tassi?
Why do I love the Tassi so much?
Why don’t I ever win the drawing at Trader Joe’s?
Why did Ralphs get rid of the Ralphs Club Card and make everyone fill out new things and get new cards?
Why do I keep seeing cute boys on Facebook then find out they were born in the 1980s?
Why am I not freaking out about turning another year older?
Why haven’t I seen Parking Structure Guy in a couple of weeks?
Why am I just now beginning to freak out about the solution to “redundancy in staff” that should happen next week?
Why did I sign up for another month of Jdate?
Why is Crazy Cupcake Lady so crazy?
Why does my neighbor in the building next door insist on playing his drums around 3:00 a.m.?
Why am I obsessed with really bad reality shows?
Why did I just now discover the ready to bake chocolate chip cookie dough at Trader Joe’s?
Why are there always a million people waiting in line for brunch on the weekends at The Griddle and Toast, but never at Jinky’s?
Why do we have cockroaches at the office? And why must they fly?
Why are salty and sweet together so awesome?
Why am I asking you guys this stuff?

Flying cockroaches = Palmetto bugs. Sassy’s been leaving them as presents for B and I to step on. She’s so proud of her kills.

Why do I love the new cupcake place? (Oh wait, you haven’t eaten there yet…)

Mike, go back a couple of posts…I’m sure you’ll order two right away!

Every person with hair is kicking herself over not having invented the Tassi.

I dunno. I just dunno. I have a million “why” questions too, and very, very few answers.

Not to be too insensitive, but I am thinking that the answers to your “Why?” questions might add a few tasks to your “1001 in 101″ list.

Oh, yeah, and the other important question is “Why do you let so many of these things bother you?”

Speaking of breakfasts, we found this awesome breakfast chain in (Eastern) Canada called Chez Cora. Les crèpes sont magnifiques! My little one got his hands on my chocolate-hazelnut-banana crèpe and his white t-shirt pretty much turned brown.

Oh Ron, Chez Cora is one of the many “Whys” of why I miss Montreal so much. When I moved to CT, the world of breakfast got that much smaller.

That’s too funny. I NEVER win the raffle at trader joes either and I’m all the way here in Boston. I love the choc chip cookie dough as well. YUM.

I used my Ralph’s card twice over the weekend and once last night. No one’s made me fill out anything or get a new card.

And every time I’ve been to Jinky’s, there’s been a line to the point where I tend to dismiss the place as a brunch possibility, despite how much I like it.

Hilary,

You could always use those “why” statements and turn them into additional lyrics to Skeeter Davis’ song “The End of the World.”

Sorry if I’m being a little goofy.

Hilary — I am Shawna, the Tassi lady. I am so glad you love your Tassi. I have a surprise for you on my blog at our Tassi website (www.tassicompany.com/blog).

Keith, weird. Rock N Roll Ralphs literally took my old card away from me. And I have never had to wait at the West Hollywood Jinky’s! Guess it’s all about timing.

My Ralphs asked me if I wanted to keep my old card. I asked “Why?!”. The Ralphs guy says, “For sentimental reasons?” Weird.

You think the ready to bake cookies are bad? Try their little pre-made-in-a-bakeable-pan brownies. Pure, delicious, evil.

I’ve been told about the new card by one of the checkers, but have not partaken yet. As long as the old one still works, I’m not going to bother.

And you’re asking us because it is well known that your readers, like yourself, are ‘freakin brilliant. *grin*
