So I recently realized that my last post was number 100! Woo Hoo! One Hundred Blog Posts! So i would like to congratulate all of you for reading my 100th Post (and my 101th). I should have had a party or something, but instead you can all go out and pop open some fancy shmancy champagne. Once again, thanks for keeping this old blog going through all those months.

Sometimes, if i don't have enough time to blog I simply just quickly type up a story on word, hoping that i'll post it later. So you will now all witness one of my fantastic "Smart Stores". Not quite sure why i call them that, but i like the alliteration. Usually these stories develop out of me venting. This one in particular about not having snacks in my house. These could get pretty interesting! Anyways, without further a due here is Pippa's first Smart Story:

Why does my house not have snacks? Well I have no idea, I guess that “If they’re not on the list, I don’t buy them!”. Well then, I guess I will go snack deprived and have to eat the disgusting icee pop sitting at the back of our freezer. I like snacks. I snack all throughout the day before and after meal times. But what is one to do when snack are not there? Starve, complain, and eat paper. Once, when I was maybe in 4^th or 5^th grade, I had begged my dad to make me breakfast on a Saturday morning. He refused because he had “work” to do, which consisted of checking his email all morning. So I decided to protest by not making myself food (all I knew how to make was hard scrambled eggs and burnt toast). I sat in our TV room and proceeded to eat computer paper. For 2 hours I nibbled off paper like a rabbit nibbles on lettuce, hoping that my dad would come to his senses and make some food for me. I ate about 3 and a half pieces of paper throughout 45 minutes. The protest finally ended when I unlocked the door and grabbed a cookie for breakfast. Sometimes I still feel like eating paper just to show my parents that without their food making skills, all I can do is eat acid-free paper. So here I am now, starving because of a lack of snacks. Things like string cheese, granola bars, those little 100 calorie packed goods, maybe a fruit role up or two, basically anything that does require much effort to prepare. Bananas are good too! Things that are filling, yummy, and easy to make. Cheese and crackers are good, as long as you have good cheese (I LOVE sharp white Cheddar and Swiss!). And the ONE snack that seems to be the only thing my father ever offers to make me is Carrots and Ranch. Every time he says carrots and ranch, carrots and ranch, ranch and carrots! Let’s just say I’m a little sick or carrots and ranch dressing! But then again, would i rather eat paper?

I'm considering starting a new part of Pippa's Blog called "Ask Pippa". I'm not stealing this concept from another blog, because you will definitely see this throughout the internet. So instead of sulking about not answering people's questions, i am inspired and have decided to create "Ask Pippa". So if you've got ANY questions, email me at AskPippa@gmail.com
