This is, like, my fourth blog. I'm really noncommittal.
So how did this blog come to existence? I'll tell ya.
It happened on the Aegean
Sea. (How many people can say that, amiright?)
Once upon a time (just kidding. This happened, like, two
weeks ago)….
We cruised with friends on this ship
here – hence, the Aegean Sea part of it all. As the trip lead on, I would
enlighten my squad of pals with my knowledge, questions, and philosophical
views on various topics. Example? Oh why not? Here’s a few.
KIP on hard-boiled eggs: “You have to
eat the yolk. That’s where the protein is.” False.
This is false. The protein is in the white. Cholesterol. That's what's in the yolk.
KIP on the Catholic faith: “I’m calling
the Pope when we get to the Vatican.” There’s no humanly way you can do this. I
don’t even think God can call the Pope.
KIP on math: “You can’t divide 91 in
half. It’s impossible; it’s a prime number.” 91 divided by two is, in fact, 45.5.
KIP on marriage and children: “You’ll
take what you get and like it. With dinner and with babies.” So there, husband.
My peeps – who always, ALWAYS, always
and forever, find the hilarity in my comments. (God love you all for that) –
were the ones who suggested I create the blog. Here’s how it went:
“KIP,
you need to start a blog. Tipsfromkip.com. I checked the URL. It’s available.”
And so, a blog was born. On Blogger. Sorry, guys – like I said, I'm noncommittal. We can still have tabs for HR, consulting, logistics, lighting, and cupcake services. One day at a time.
Disclaimer: It should be known that I
am truly NOT this dumb. While the things that come out of my mouth sound something
like a monkey (if monkeys could talk), I’d like to think of myself as an intelligent person with a
decent amount of common sense. I’m curious about things that I don’t know
about, which is a lot. And so, I hypothesize theories. Some people would call
that quirky, I think of it as charming.
So what’s the tip of the day?
Grass is basically lettuce.
And here’s why. A colleague of mine
told me yesterday that her twin daughters like to eat grass when they’re
outside and that she was concerned. This conversation ensued:
KIP: Grass is natural.
LR: My babies are not dogs who need to eat grass to barf. they can barf
all on their own, thank you very much
KIP: I know, your kid barfed on me once. But it's fine. Grass is basically lettuce (there it is!)
LR: I’d go closer to herb.
KIP: and you eat herbs. And drink herbs. Herbs
are good.
And there, my friends, is your first, Internet-official TIP from KIP.
Enjoy!
