IRKS

I have a theory and would like your opinion on whether you see validity in it or is it just a really whacky thought.  Hopefully I can explain this as it is deep. 

THEORY

If something about someone irks you, it may be because you are seeing in yourself the mere thing that irks you about other people.  I know, deep.

What do you think?  Any thoughts, other theories?

Oreo Truffles

A friend of mine brought these in to work and offered me one.  They are OMG – DELICIOUS!

Just thought I would share the recipe.  Simple AND Yummy!

Oreo Truffle Balls

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
16 ounces oreos, broken into quarters
Enough best quality white chocolate chopped to measure about 2 cups

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese for a couple minutes to smooth out. Add in just over 1/2 of the broken oreos and mix until thoroughly combined. Add in the rest of the oreos and mix just until combined – some bigger pieces are ok.

Cover bowl and chill for at least 2-3 hours. Scoop out dough with a heaping teaspoon and roll into 50-60 balls. Cover and place back in the refrigerator to firm up.

Slowly melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, stirring occasionally, until most of the chunks are smooth. Remove and stir to melt the rest of the chocolate. Dip each truffle ball and set aside on a silpat or parchment paper. If the chocolate mixture starts to firm up, place back over the double boiler to slowly remelt, or gently rewarm in the microwave. Store in the refrigerator after all are dipped.

Cats and Christmas

For the past four years, since we started owning a pet, during the Christmas season we put up a 3 foot fake christmas tree high above the ground where the cat couldn’t jump on it.  All for the love of the cat, plus I didn’t want my ornaments destroyed.

Well this year we decided to pull out the six foot fake tree and one step at a time put it up.  I say one step at a time because if at any point the cat ended up going bizerk, we would take it down and put it away.  We got the tree standing as well as the tree skirt covering the base.  Now we have a bare tree.  The cat surely is checking it out, swatting at a limb or two, biting the lights but nothing destructive to make me take the tree down.  If the cat had climbed up the tree, down it would come.

So now with a bare tree I am on the internet looking up the dangers of a fake tree and what to do to prevent killing ones pet.  Needless to say, I was more than rolling on the floor with some of the suggestions.  Let me share some of them with you.

  1. Make your Christmas Tree as stable as possible.  OK, this one wasn’t to bad – very understandable
  2. Avoid using tinsel, strings and hooks as part of your christmas tree decorations -   So if I understand that correctly, don’t hang a friggin thing on your tree because kitty may get it lodged in her throat…got it!  Hanging candy canes only! 
  3. Christmas foliage can be toxic!  Holly, mistletoe, poinsettias, ivy and Christmas roses, as well as the Christmas tree itself are all harmful to pets – Gotcha!! DO NOT decorate your home for the holiday season!!
  4. Christmas can be stressful for some cats – Stressful for CATS?  What about us human folk who are trying to make the holiday season less stressful for their pets by looking up needless information.
  5. Never give a puppy or kitten as a Christmas gift – Can you beleive that this was an actual suggestion?  I have NO intention of doing such thing.  I don’t want to be responsbile for ruining someone elses holiday and they decide to put a three foot Christmas Tree for the next four years!!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Can ya hear me now?

Last night I get a call from my brother.  Our main phones are our cell phones, just seems a cheaper way to go.  As you are all aware I am sure, cell phones are sometimes not that great indoors.  I always lose my connection when I am home so when I receive a call I run quick like a bunny out to the lanai before the call is dropped. I barely make it.  Apparently my brother has to do the same thing.  Anyway, he asked me to look up some flight information for him on SeaCoast Arlines for his trip home for Christmas.  Whoo Hoo my bro is coming home. I can’t wait!!  I said I wished I could sit in front of my computer to give him the flight information because it would be so much easier, but I would chance losing the call. He said he understood and explained to me that he is outside too because he has a tin roof on his home.  So he wanted to do a test to prove to me that he would lose the call if he went inside.

BRO: Ok, I am going to go inside now.  Let me know if I start breaking up  (do you know what’s going through my head at this point??  PRANK!!)

ME: Ok, go ahead

BRO: Can ya hear me now?

ME: Yea, you’re good

BRO: How about now?

ME: (Now mind you I can hear him a plain as day)  BRO! <silence>  BROOO! <longer silence>  BRO!

BRO: I am here, can ya hear me.

ME: BRO! <silence>  BRO!

BRO: (he starts to say something and I cut him off)

ME: I am kidding I could hear you the whole time

And we just start cracking right up laughing our butts off – we are in hysterics.  OMG, we must have laughed and cried laughing for a good 5 minutes just feeding off one another.  He was like, you got me, that was good.

Well, we hang up and I go inside and look up the flight information for him and decide to call him back while I am sitting in front of the computer.  The connection works sometimes I if sitting just right, (necked cocked to the left, face pointing upward, and eyes looking cross-eyed) it will last for a few minutes.  Joking, but I do feel all contorted trying to keep the connection.  So I call Bro back and start telling him the flight information and what do you know, my phone starts fading in and out, well Bro thought I was doing it on purpose again and he was like, NOT NOW BE SERIOUS! And I said, I am it’s my phone – trying not to laugh.  So I cocked my head more to the left, and shifted my eyes and finished the conversation.

The Bombshell

So yesterday me and my daughter went out and ran some errands, stopping by Victoria’s Secret being one of them.  It was on my MUST DO list to check out the new “bombshell” bra.  We arrived, we found the Bombshell bra table, right as you walk in the door, like where else would it have been??  We are now searching through the bras for K and my sizes and wasn’t coming up with one for me.  I was determined to try this thing on so I asked one of the sales girls to help.  She walked over to the other side of the table (how was I to know there were more bras on the “other side”) opened a draw with just a few left in my size. I was bummed, but I picked the traditional white one.  I really wanted the Leopard like in the picture.  It’s ok, white will do – it goes with everything, right??  We, me and K, go into the dressing room with our bras and start trying them on.  It didn’t work so well for K.  I felt bad, because she really wanted one.   But I thought I was going to dye.  I looked like the girl in the pic.  I thought maybe it was too small since I was busting out everywhere.  I have never seen them this big in all my life.   The sales girl was very attentive and asked numerous of times how they were fitting.   I wasn’t real sure about it so I let her make that determination.   I opened the door and a little embarrassed to show her with all my spillage, but she thought it fit well.  Oh I am sure,  I am busting out all over the place and she is like yea yea, that looks great. Probably thinking damn, girl I wish mine looked like that.   In the meantime K is just laughing hysterically every time she looked at me.  Not only did this thing push up, it pushed way in and way up!  Boobs up to my neck!  I was so undecided, really thinking I needed a bigger size ….the sales lady so politely said, we don’t have any DD in the store.  GREAT!!!  What about an F?  Really now, do I look that big?    I eventually talked myself into buying the bra because it did look good, just some getting used to with ALL the padding.  Plus little miss, you look great sales girl, said the more you wear it the more it will form to your body.  You better pray it does.

I know you all want to see a pic of me in this bra, not going to happen.   What I suggest is take you and your boobs over to VS and try one on, even if it’s just for fun.  You will either laugh your ass off or actually even purchase one.  If you try one on.  I would love to hear what you thought.

I just have to add I now own four of them.  White, Beige, Black, Leopard Pink!!
