This post is about two things, Cipro, and Box Wine.
First, the Cipro. Yes I'm BACK on antibiotics with the sinus infection that ate Manhattan and once again it's the dreaded Cipro. I certainly hope this stuff cures ANTRHAX better than Sinus Infections as it seems like as soon as I'm off of it for two weeks I'm sick as hell again. But I'd like to complain most about one of it's instructions "Do not take with Dairy Products". What? What the hell? Nonfat Dairy is a staple food. I eat craploads of it. Nonfat yogurt, nonfat milk in my coffee....what are you DOING to me Cipro? Plus, if I don't take my yogurt then you give me the yeast infection from hell. I thank you for the good health and all, but you are annoying me for the 4th or 5th time, since JANUARY.
And now, the box wine. When we went to the park Saturday, we really thought that glass containers would not be allowed. I really wanted some wine, but in all honesty, I am not a wine expert. I am a joke of a wine drinker. Beer - now Beer I can talk. Wine......well, Riunite Royal Raspberry is okay with me. But while I had planned to pick up a chardonnay or pinot grigio (things I usually like) rather than a shiraz (the unknown...I just keep hearing that word) not being able to take in glass bottles would be a problem. So we said to hell with it and picked up a box of random blush box wine.
Dude, it's good.
I am embarrassed to say so, but I liked it.
There was a classy gay couple sitting on the blanket in front of us. They had candles and wine glasses and what looked like good wine. Well, it looked like good wine, how would I know?
But I can tell you that as I rolled around on the grass with my kids......the occasional sip of crappy box wine from a plastic cup made me pretty happy.
So don't invite me to your fancy wine party. I'll probably have a yeast infection and be all pissed off anyway.

Pops In the Park - an experiment
In the time before kids the husband and I were avid attenders of cultural events when they presented themselves. Jazz in the Park, Ballet Under the Stars, etc. We liked that stuff. But after we added munchkins to the brood, we have been somewhat hesitant to trot them out as well as all of the requisite GEAR to make it happen.
Tonight we went to Pops in the Park, a performance by the Florida Symphony. We packed a picnic with various goodies from chicken tenders to hummus to cannoli and packed up our strollers and met up with some friends.
It went remarkarbly well - the kids seemed to enjoy the music some and they feasted like little monkeys on all the treats we took. So, experiment - successful.

Words that Got You Here
Here are some things that people Googled to reach my site
"Thick Stinky Puss" (did I say it was stinky?)
"Work at Disney"
"Biggest Zit Ever"
Plus several people just googling ME, which is sort of funny in a way. But I'm not sure why.
I think maybe I need to blog less about gross body stuff.

The Mystery of the Disney Sinks
This past weekend my way of helping my fellow man was showing them how to work the sinks at Walt Disney World. These sinks perplex even the most seasoned travelers. People from Europe, Asia and the US wave their hands in earnest in front of the faucet in hopes of a squirt of water coming out.
Let me just be clear.
The sinks at Disney are not MOTION sensitive. They are light sensitive. This may be true of ALL of these so called automatic faucets. But I only know it to be true of the DISNEY WORLD resorts.
If you want water, take your left hand (that is the side the sensor is on) and BLOCK THE LIGHT from the sensor. You get a mighty stream of water that lasts as long as the light is blocked. There is some manuevering that has to be done, switching of hands etc, and bottle washing out is a bit tricky.
But no less than 4 times this past weekend I reached over and blocked the light on another struggling person's sink sensor to be given the biggest grin you've ever seen as a response. One lady said "Oh thank you, I've been for four days and I haven't been able to figure these darn things out."
I mostly believe that people don't like to be messed with, and I try not to meddle in other people's adult activities....and sink usage SEEMS like a basic thing that you shouldn't get into, especially in the realm of the bathroom. But I finally decided that I'm doing the rest of the park a favor by cutting down on germs by TEACHING people how to use these sinks.
I think Disney should pay me consulting services for this. I would gladly STAND in bathrooms demonstrating efficient sink usage.
In exchange, I want Premium Annual Passes for my family.
For life.
(Yeah I'm waiting on THAT phone call........)
Oh well.
