Tragedy in Courthouse!

Last night I pulled into the Taco Bell in Courthouse to discover that it has closed! WHY? How can they do this to us?

My boyfriend (the First Gentleman of Clarendon) used to get so upset with me because I would use all of his parking change as my taco fund! He would go to put money in a parking meter and there wouldn't be any left and he would ask me why and I would tell him because I went to Taco Bell to eat tacos and I would laugh really hard at spending the money and he wouldn't and it was kind of our thing. Like I would spend his money on my taco habit. I'm going to miss those days. Plus, it's the only taco joint in the area with a drive-thru. BOO-HOO I already miss you Taco Bell. I think as Mayor I am going to have to see what I can do about having another Taco Bell opened in the area.

Ode to Taco Bell

I'm going to miss you soft shell taco supremes-
With your low grade meat and tasty sour cream,

I know I am emotional and act like a sap,
But there is nothing I am going to miss more than a tasty Crunch Wrap.

I like the little jokes they put on the hot sauce packs,
But I'm so upset at the closing, I feel at a loss for late night snacks.

It's one of the only places in the area that serves Pepsi,
Now the only place in Courthouse with a drive-thru is Wendy's

Adios Taco Bell!

Arm's Length Photo of the Week!


This week's photo is one I treasure. It is an arm's length photo of me at Water Country USA- one of the best places on earth. I am actually considering having my wedding reception there someday when I get married. I mean, I just love it there that much!

Take a look at all those people having a whale of a time in the wave pool! That's another thing I love about Water Country USA. That wave pool! Complete fun in the sun!

Little Debbie Zebra Cakes Rule the School!

If you don't like Little Debbie snack cakes, then you should just stop reading. But if you are like me, the taste of a Zebra Cake can turn any day into FUN day! I know that the tasty cakes are like full of lard, but they taste so great that I don't care. Little Debbie's don't last long at my apartment because of their pure deliciousness. Here is some tasty trivia about our dear friend Little Debbie:

Question: Is there a real Little Debbie?

Answer: Yes, there is a real Little Debbie. She is the granddaughter of company founder O.D. McKee.

McKee Foods Corporation, a privately held, family-run company based in Collegedale, Tennessee, has sold more than 157 billion Little Debbie® snacks since the brand became available in 1960. If you lined up all those snacks, that would cover over 9.9 million miles — enough to circle the Earth almost 400 times! That's also enough snack cakes to stretch to the moon and back more than 41 times!


Little Debbie® snacks have even orbited the earth on the space shuttle, traveling more than 17,500 miles an hour.

Little Debbie® Fudge Brownies were one of Elvis Presley’s favorite snacks.

Little Debbie® Oatmeal Creme Pies had a supporting role in the Disney family adventure Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in 1989.

The Little Debbie® brand is better known than its parent company. In 1960, the company founders O.D. and Ruth McKee decided to create a brand for the products they were selling and chose to name it after one of their grandchildren - four-year-old Debbie. The original image of Debbie used on packaging and advertising was based on a black and white photo of Debbie in her favorite outfit. Atlanta artist, Pearl Mann, did the original color artwork. She made young Debbie look older, around eight or nine. Minor changes were made to the logo in 1987.
