I'd Like to Give a Big God Bless or Shout Out, Depending on your Company's Mission Statement

I care not. I would just like to acknowledge the following products for making my life just a little bits better on a daily basis:

GOD BLESS the makers of Velveeta -- I don't know how on earth you conned science into making you a cheese food product that can withstand melting in 140 degree heat (Fahrenheit because how the HELL do you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius anyway??? it's a number that can never be known!!) and sitting in a Sudanese customs department just waiting, patiently....and then REFORMING itself into your cheesefood upon refrigeration....creating a totally yummy cheese-like product that makes the best damn grilled cheese sandwich this side of the Mississippi (and/or Atlantic, whichever is more appropriate)!

I heart you Velveeta!! May you continue to clog my arteries for all my days!!!

GOD BLESS Little Debbie: Although I feel as though I hardly knew ye, I know that one day - when I can con net grocer into working with me again, we will meet again. Your swiss rolls are an inspiration to peace negotiators world wide - Lord knows I would totally agree to whatever country rolled out a plan with a side of Swiss Rolls - I'm IN! PLUS, did you know she made those moon pie things?? She's a visionary. I'm honestly not sure why she has not been given some sort of acknowledgment for her tasty treats. It's an outrage, frankly.

I heart you Little Debbie!! I would give you a visa without filling out an application!

GOD BLESS the Swiss Miss - do you have any idea how wonderful a glass of hot chocolate is when you're looking out on day 3 of torrential downpour in Sudan, knowing that you then have to try to drive to the Embassy through what could rival Lake Huron on the Streets of Khartoum? Why the hell do we not drive those duck boats again? Those are always fun...I could make a lotta friends (and some extra cash for little debbies's frankly) if I had a duck boat and could pick up stranded Sudanese.

I heart you Swiss Miss. You need not explain any banking transactions post WWII to me!

GOD BLESS Hit 40 for sending me movies to watch during Ramadan. Sweet Home Alabama has never been so good!! God, I hate Ramadan. IS that wrong? I'm F'n hungry...and I swear our mail is not coming in these days - although someone mentioned that you have to actually order something in order to get mail, but I'm not really buying his theory. We'll see..

And/Or;

GOD BLESS Blogger.com for giving me something to do on the "weekend" in Khartoum when we are stranded by lack of drainage on the roads and Ramadan! I look forward to my comments - Oh, I'll admit it -- I'm a comment HO. It's what keeps me going!!!

I'm sure there are "other" things to be thankful for....however, they should probably make themselves known to me if they want a shout out via the blog! I'm just trying to acknowledge those that were there in my time of need....I'm not running for Jesus!
