Hugs and DVDs

That was interesting. I walked into the house from therapy yesterday afternoon and Junior walked right up to me, threw his arms around me and hugged me strong for a good two minutes. I wasn’t expecting it, it caught me off guard. He didn’t say why and I didn’t ask so I have no idea what that was about.

Sunday Brunch – Fail!

Sunday afternoon I went to have coffee and hang out with Midori and meet for the first time her friend “Bianca.” The three of us  sat at the table chatting and laughing about nothing at all when Bianca started a mock argument with Midori. In fun I said, “Girl fight, girl fight. You never break up a girl fight because they might start tearing each others clothes off.”  That’s when Bianca took her shirt off. Keep in mind I’ve only known this girl for a whole twenty minutes. I gasped, turned my head and asked her what on earth she was doing. She said, “You’re a lesbian. I thought you might want to see a nice pair of breasts.” After much coaxing Bianca put her shirt back on all while telling me how pretty her breasts are. And that dear readers is when Sunday turned from casual to just plain strange.

When It All Goes South

…..get together with a girlfriend and do what we do, eat ice cream and lean on each other for support. Girl’s night out usually comes right on time, to say the least it did the other day.

This was taken at Stake and Shake with Birdie behind the cam. When I looked at the menu I was overjoyed that they had a peppermint shake. Could I really think of anything else to order but that shake? After a few times switching back and forth between me and Amy I finally got to have the shake all to myself. That darn kid ate the cherry and whipped cream, left me none of it. Anyway, at first I thought the shake was lacking but once I asked for extra peppermint it came alive and was very much worth the $4.00 paid for it. Without extra peppermint it ranks a 3 out of 10.

I came home thankful for friends and peppermint shakes.

My Kryptonite

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.

Accessory To Murder – A Tale of Two Friends

Last night when I couldn’t sleep I entertained myself by fantasizing about the death of one very cruel woman who insists upon hurting my friend. Here’s how it all went down.

(posted with permission from my accessory)

T’was midnight in my breezy city and all were tucked in sleeping save me and the two voices next door arguing. Earlier in the year I set up a small observation center in the corner of the room which allows me to eavesdrop on said neighbor with ease. I ran to the Ops Area and heard an old withered up voice yelling to my young princess neighbor. “How dare she” I thought as I pressed my eye closer to the scope. Knowing my services were needed I grabbed my red duffel bag and rifle and headed over to her apartment.

I didn’t even bother to knock on the door, for I’d made a key when the neighbor was out of town last week. Bursting through the door I yelled to the Old Witch, “What’s wrong with you witch?” The enchanted Princess inquired, “How did you get another key? I thought I told you to stop breaking in to my apartment?”

“Never mind the key”, I says, “Who is this Old Witch with the foul breath who dost blow stink about your palace?”

“It’s my mother, and why are you talking like that? Get out of here. This is none of your business!” Just then the Enchanted Princess jumped on poor pitiful Aussie and stole her riffle with the silencer. Do not fret dear readers for this was all part of the plan.

Campfire Days

I was invited to go camping this weekend. It’s been so long. I can’t wait. Boy this came on time. I needed some nature and a change of scenery. For those who know my OCD issues I’m sure you’re probably going, “How will Aussie deal with no upscale restroom facilities?” Well, my restroom issues are centered on my own restroom not the restroom of others. So, there’s no real issue when I go out in public or anything like that. The issue is my own restroom and letting others use it. I don’t foresee any OCD panic attacks where I prematurely call Hasmat or scream “You ‘re triflin. You people were raised by apes, apes I say apes.” I don’t expect that at all.

So, we’ll leave Friday morning and come back late Sunday evening. There’ll be fishing and stuff like that too. I haven’t been fishing in a good 10 years or longer. They’ll have to put the worm on the hook cause I’m not touching that nasty thing.  I’ll be fine with cleaning the fish but they’ll have to deal with the worms. Yuck! I haven’t roasted marshmallows in years nor have I had a roasted hot dog since I was a little kid. I can’t wait. Oh I so can’t wait. I do have to wonder how on earth I’m going to do my hair out there in the wild.
