Dear Friends,
Around 10:30 last night I got a phone call saying a friend of mine was on her way over. I immediately thought, hmm, that’s strange that someone would come over on a day when the house is clean. Came she did and with her she brought a bag of Peppermint Patties. In a frenzy I opened the bag and scarfed. I’m not sure what she blabbed on about because I was too busy stuffing my face. After the 3rd patty I thought to myself, “This is a trick! Nobody brings peppermint in the middle of the night. What does she want?” I wondered through my sugar high, is she here to rob me? This is a set up!
Bringing me peppermint is like bringing Superman kryptonite. Hey look Superman I brought you a gift. He opens it up and the robbers take all his stuff. One could naively conclude she was just being friendly but I’m not that person. Over the top of a patty I kept a suspicious eye on her.
After she left I fell asleep in a peppermint induced joy which produced minty fresh z’s. Several hours later when the sun burst into my room I opened my eyes to the pleasant thought of more peppermint bliss. I leapt from the comfort of my country blue pallet and rushed to drop half a peppermint into a hot cup of java. Only now am I able to think clearly enough to alert all who read that your friends may show up in the middle of the night on the day your house is clean with a bag full of kryptonite. If they do be very careful and suspicious. Why such concern? Everyone knows you’re not supposed to have unexpected company when the house is clean. And everyone knows not to show up at Super Aussie’s house with peppermint kryptonite and expect functionality. Suspicious, be very suspicious.
Sincerely,
Super Aussie

For me it would be cake, chocolate cake. Anyone who shows up at my home in the middle of the night had better have cake, and lots of it.
Suspicious? I’d be too busy scarfing it down to give suspicions more than a passing thought…
The Masters (Angel Cabrera won), peppermint and coffee. It was a beautiful day.

See, for me, it would be peanut butter cups.
For me it’s chocolate (preferably ice cream) and coffee. Cadbury eggs are good too. Then there is pepsi and pepperoni pizza. Too many things would divert my attention.
Someone showing up when the house is clean? Yeah that is strange. Very strange indeed.
NOTE to self – you can divert Austin’s attention by peppermint patties and sunflower seeds…….
@ Kathryn
She brought those too.
@ E
oohhh, sunflowers. I know you didn’t. (insert giggle here)
Peppermint, chocolate and coffee– sounds perfect to me.
