What Would You Have Done?

I took my kids to play tennis today. We went to a park that we usually don't go to, as there are tennis courts much closer to our house. I'm not sure why we went to this different park today. Anyway, when we got to the tennis courts, we got out of the car, and there was NO ONE around. It was nice and quiet. All of a sudden this guy about a half block down the street yells "Hey Lady!!" and starts running towards us! He was running, not just jogging or trotting - he was in a full sprint!

Well heck, I had no clue what this guy was going to do! I was petrified. I was a woman with two kids with her and no one else in sight except for this very tall man running towards us. I don't know what you would have done, but I corralled the kids, got them in the car as fast as I could, started it, locked the doors, rolled the windows up, and then proceeded to high tail it out of there! When I backed up there he was standing there by my window staring at me. I didn't know if he needed help or had a gun, but I wasn't about to find out! I certainly didn't want to be the one that needed help.

So..... what would you have done? I'm sure I probably blew things out of proportion, but the guy didn't look like he was in distress, he was walking slowly down the street until we got out of the car. I'm a mom, certainly moms protect their young.

Main lesson to be taught here is: guys, never yell "Hey Lady!" and start sprinting towards a mom and her children. She just may think you mean harm.

Sterzings Chips - Winner of MY Potato Chip Taste Test

They came out with the winner of The Ultimate Potato Chip Taste Test. The winner was Kettle Krinkle . That's fine and dandy, but I'm sure someone forgot to put the OH-SO GREAT Sterzings Potato Chips into the taste contest. They'd have won hands down.

Sterzings Potato Chips were a HUGE treat in our household growing up. They were better known as the "Iowa Potato Chips". We only got them when Cousin Jim came to visit, or any other relatives from Iowa came to visit. They would usually load up their trunk with them and deliver to all our relatives on "this side of the river". River - meaning the Mighty Mississippi.

What makes these chips so great? They are light, and crunchy, and they have a completely different flavor to them. Also, some of them have these little pockets of grease that are to die for! Literally, we'd die for those! Fights would break out, kids would jump over the table even, all for a chip with a grease pocket in it. I even sold one for a buck to my sister. My oldest sister is the die-hardest Iowa Potato Chip grease pocket chip monger on the planet. Still to this day we fight over those! Too funny.

You can order these fantastic chips online here. I think I'm going to have to order a pack of 4 bags. Shipping is already included in the cost. They are so worth it!!
