Pineapple and Bears...Oh My!!

What do you find when you come home from work?

Well I will show you what I find when two of my nieces, Sami and Ruthy who are both almost  4, have been playing at my house, right outside my bedroom door

Well they had gone shopping, of course!! They must have been playing house/housewives

Shopping in Grandma's pantry anyway, which can be the best store ever if one looks for the right stuff

And obviously these two girls have struck gold, I mean who doesn't want pineapple in their white cake????

Of course, you can't just leave off of with that

What doesn't go with white pineapple cake but...more pineapple? I personally would totally go for it. It sounds like the best dinner. Pineapple with pineapple cake for dessert. Awesome!!

But of course, not everyone would go for that...so you gotta have back up

I personally love all of these three things, especially water chestnuts (I just now noticed what those were...I might have to have a snack tomorrow)...I just don't know how I feel about them combined. But then again, it's not me that is making dinner, it's Sami and Ruthy and I guess one of them must like that combination

Of course, a good housewife has to have...

A purse with a pen (purple, my kind of girls)

And on the inside?

That's where it gets fun :)

Every woman needs a snuggly teddy bear...you never know when you need to have a good cry with a soft(ish) bear

Of course you've gotta have your checks...(mine by the way) How else are you going to buy necessary items? (pineapple and white cake anyone?)

But you can't have a checkbook without 

A register(mine as well). I personally don't use one of these(it comes with the box anyway...waste of paper in my case), but Sammy and Ruthy are probably a lot better off than I am

And of course, in case you get bored, a little video game guide...I didn't know they played this game, I'll have to see how they're coming along with it

Now what lady doesn't leave the house with these essentials? In my line of work, the aspercreme is definitely a must so I think they're just thinking of everyone else

Of course you need a fresh pair of socks, you never know when you're going to need them (mine...again...)

Now what fun is running errands if you don't make a fun stop every now and then...that would just be boring

But remember....it's not what's on the outside, but the inside that counts:

More grocery bags!! Cause what doesn't a girl need more than grocery bags?

Now, lest we get bored and hungry....

Oatmeal cereal and Alice in Wonderland!! My two favorite things!! And of course they're in a grocery bag as well

The "sister" of the girls obviously wasn't feeling terribly well and passed out on the couch in misery 

After having

Taken the phone off the hook, so as to not have been disturbed

And last, but not least, what would a  good housewife be without having a secret hiding place for...

The chocolate goodness!! And what an even better place to put the keys!! That way, whenever you need to go anywhere, you can have a bit of goodness!!

I think I prefer my house over any other house to come home to...everything is set!! :)

Night!!

Letters...

Dear Body, 

Could you maybe stop hurting? Kay thanks

Dear Boyfriend, 

I got you something for v-day that I think you'll like...I hope you'll like...

Dear Boyfriend part 2, 

What did you get me?!?! Tell me now before I go insane!!

Dear Friends,

My body is still tired...just in case you were wondering. It usually takes a couple of days to catch up again

Dear Friends part 2, 

I changed my alarm from 5:45 to 6:10 this morning...that extra 25 minutes was soooo nice.....

Dear Friends part 3,

I still snoozed it until 6:50 though...I get way too lazy with my alarm sometimes...

Dear Friends part 4,

And that is where my mental capacity comes to an end tonight. I have no thoughts enter my brain...no ideas, no funny things, nada

So I'm going to go now before I start rambling about completely unimportant things

Dear Bed,

I come to you. Be warm for me

Night

Movie Monday

Morning friends

Did you know my alarm is set for 5:45 every morning?

That's so I can get up and exercise...which has only happened once I think and it's been about two weeks since I set my alarm to that

Here's where you supposed to ask me why in the world I stayed up until 12:15 finishing a book if my alarm is going to go off sooooooooooo soon after that

So go ahead, ask...I'll wait

The answer is...because I'm an idiot. Seriously, that's the best I can give you

You know how when you get to a certain point in the book and you only have about x number pages and all of the sudden it draws you in and you can't. put. it. down.?

That's where I was last night when I went to bed...and that's why I stayed up until the obscene hour that I did

The good news? I can start another book now :) The only problem with that is I can see this turning into a vicious cycle...getting into the book, staying up too late to read it, and then having problems with spelling the rest of the day

Seriously. I think I've corrected almost every single word in this post. I should have left them all so you could enjoy them...but because I'm so tired my brain didn't think of that until I was almost done with the writing portion of the post...I rock at this not getting a lot of sleep thing. I don't know how I survived in High School/the younger years of college.

Every time I type a new word I have to edit it...it's making me laugh really hard...this is what happens when I don't get the required 7.8-9 hours of sleep at night. I wish I could have some way of letting you watch me type this...it would be hilarious for you!!

Okay, before I make a complete fool out of myself, I shall post the video of the week

It's going to be another one from the same dude as last week because Boyfriend didn't love the last one I showed. So, without further ado, here you go:

I like this one cause it shows him making all the noises (noises, not noices...silly hands)
FOr For you special ones, click here please 
Alrih A;ro Alright, I'm going to work onw now...I hope ou you all have a better Monday than I'm sure to :) (no, those spelling errors are not exaggerated)
Bye!!

A story

Of a man named Brady...

Okay, not really, that's just what popped into my head

At work, testosterone is definitely the majority

For example, in Peach's office there are two boys and one girl

Which means Peach and I share a bathroom with them 

(the other bathroom closer to my workspace is used by too many men to count...and I only use it in an emergency)

Luckily these boys are somewhat cultured in what are proper bathroom manners...I have a few complaints, but I choose to pick my battles and I save the important ones for bigger stuff like a steady chocolate supply, or brand new Sharpies :D

Anywho, one of the few personality conflicts we have is proper door propage (derived from the word prop...it is a word :)


To prop or not to prop? That seems to be the question that circulates in the office


So far the vote is 3:1...3 of us like the door propped, and my poor cousin likes it...unpropped :)


It's a constant thing, really. I go to use the bathroom in the morning, and when I leave I prop the door open...(just cause I thought you were wondering...the prop itself changes frequently...it used to be a small paint can, at the moment it is a big refill soap bottle...who knows what it will be in a month)...and when I come back? The door is closed. And the cycle repeats itself over and over and over again. Sometimes I get lucky and the door is left open by Peach and Ben but most of the time not so much


So this is the conversation that was had between Primo (that's what we call the cousin) and myself:


P: "Why is it that people prop the door open?? I'm not accusing, I'm just curious."


M: "Because it gets ridiculously hot in there maybe?" (it's a small room with no windows, no nothin')


P: "No, it doesn't. It is nice and toasty. It's the perfect temperature!!"


M: "Primo, I feel like I'm in a sauna when I've been in there longer than 10 seconds!! Something is wrong with that!!"


P: "Have you ever been in a sauna?"

M: "Yes, I have."


P: "You're supposed to die of heat in a sauna!! It's a relaxing, soothing feeling. Like the bathroom."


M: "Primo, there is a slight difference. I am layered in clothing to stay warm outside. In a sauna, you don't have hardly any clothing on."


P: "It's not that hot prima (the female verion of primo...aka girl cousin in Spanish)"


M: "Yes, actually it is. I die of heat every time I go in there."


P: "Well how long do you spend in there???? A minute, at the most...you should not get that hot in under a minute."

M: "Like I said, primo, after 5 seconds I'm dying. I wear 2 shirts and a hoody, 2 bottom layers, 2 pairs of socks, and boots. I get hot in there."


P: "I just don't get it. I for one like to be able to sit on a warm toilet."


M: "Primo, how often do you actually sit on the toilet? Last time I checked you were a boy...if you're sitting on the toilet that often, you should speak to someone about that."


P: "Ha ha ha. Very funny."


M: "There could be other reasons you know. Air the room out, etc"

P: "Yeah, Ben seems to think if you leave the door open the heat will release to the other parts of the office. Ha!! Come on, like that's going to happen." 


It carried on for a ridiculous amount of time and I won't subject you to that


However, I just have one thing to say...


I have been hiding in that bathroom all week because it was the only warm place I could find...luckily Primo doesn't read my blog...he doesn't read any blogs for that matter, he doesn't even have facebook...


I want you to know I like cold, I do...I just prefer it to come with snow...and to not be lung-freezing cold :)


Night!!

Dear Canada, 

I have nothing against you, but could you not send your wind down here anymore please?

Dear Car, 

I know you hate the cold weather, and that you have a really hard time starting in it, and I'm sorry that you don't have a garage to park in...but could you please keep it up for a couple of more months?

Dear Guapo (my workspace),

In the future, could you please warm up past 65º? I'm sure the heater would appreciate it...I think it's tired. If you could work on that please....

Dear Weather So Cold That My Lungs Froze Today,

Go away

Love, Me

Dear Friends,

Don't get me wrong, I'm okay with colder weather, but this has been a bit ridiculous

Dear Friends part 2, 

Can you tell I don't like much working in the cold? I think I would need to make it slightly more obvious...

Dear Thursday,

You couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you so much for being tomorrow

Dear Friends part 3,

Have I mentioned that it's cold?...

Dear Friends part 5 million,

Okay, I'll stop complaining about the cold...

Dear Drama, 

Why do you have to hang around every aspect of life? Do you think you could...just cease to exist? That would be great thanks

Dear Friends part 8 trillion,

I hope you had a great day...I go sleep now :)

Night!!

Sneaky Boyfriend...

Shush! She doesn't know that I'm writing this.


 Hey y'all! How ya been? I hope you've been doing well. A small update from the boyfriend... I just got back from getting a massage today. Good gravy that was such a good hour! I've been having a lot of pain lately and a massage was just what I needed. Today marks the end of my three day weekend. It was fun while it lasted but all good things must come to an end. Or at least that's how the saying goes. I for one, believe that no good thing should ever end...but this is coming from the guy that believes that all tv and internet services should be free of charge for standard slow connections and local channels. You could totally pay for higher speeds or better channels but that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to gloat about my massage day is all. Hehe! Hope you all get a little bug in your ear and go get a massage sometime soon. It's sooo worth any amount of money that you have to pay. I for one only paid $30 for mine cause it's the first time at this new place I started going to. Ok better go before I get caught. ;) Talk to you all later!
