What do Dr. Who, Procrastination, Silly Kittens, and Anne of Green Gables have in common?

1. Dr. Who quote that actually made me giggle uncontrollably (these days that's saying something)

"Here's my horse. His name is Joshua."
"No it isn't. I speak horse. His name is Susan and he wants you to respect his life choices."

2. Why Procrastination is Good Thing

I have almost told you what you're Christmas present is three times today alone.
it's so HARD to keep secrets from you.
I type it and then I erase it hoping that will help.
This is why I do all my Christmas shopping at the last minute (i just realized this).
SEE procrastination can be useful!


3. ACTUAL conversations about being ignored and what happens to a person's soul if it gets washed accidentally
Me
what i do when someone is ignoring me... i send them a picture of a kitten doing something silly
no one can ignore that.
unless they don't have a soul.
 


Teddy

I did. I sent him a picture of Grumpy cat.  He looked at it but didn't say anything.  jerkface
Me

it's amazing how we think alike
maybe he left his soul at home
Teddy

in his other pants
Me

or maybe it got washed in the washer and it's all rumply and he layed it out so it can get smooth
Teddy

He probably shrunk it. Irresponsible.
Me

maybe he didn't react to your cat picture because now his soul is tiny and will only fit on THAT cat.

3. Lately I've been obsessed (AGAIN) with Anne of Green Gables. 
If you don't know about her, she's a ferocious, spunky, redheaded, intelligent, heroine written by Lucy Maud Montgomery.  This was my favorite book as a child and honestly it's still my favorite book. Here's some quotes that really speak to me:


Next time, I'm going to post a poll asking whether or not you guys actually care about seeing the crafts I'm making. I figure you don't and will say yes just to be nice. Maybe I'll skip the poll. Stay tuned. This blog could really go just about anywhere.

Top Ten...well it started out a Top Ten list...there's really only Five


Top Ten...Interesting Things, Bullshit Things, Hilarious Things, Horrifying Things, Mystifying Things I heard lately...

Yes, yes. I know there are only five, I keep thinking I will remember the other five. But I've been holding onto this list for I don't know WEEKS. So here it is. A top ten list that is actually a Top Five list.

1. Mom, since you don't have a weiner, do you pee out of your butt? (Awkward conversation, it was)

2. I think it fell in the shitter, like my shirt sleeve did yesterday. (I had no words for this when I heard it and I have no words now)

3. There's a circus in my tummy (Okay, I said that. The reply was "Well, did you eat any animal crackers?")

life before

4. Wow, you've gained weight. (OUCH-Okay I have, a little)

5. I bet if I didn't have Fibro I would be a walking Wikipedia in a year.

ACTUALLY, if I didn't have Fibromyalgia, I would probably be able to do a lot of things. Like remember what point I was getting at right now.

Remember folks, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. The same goes for Santa, Jesus, and really bad gas.

Share Time

Someone from work brought me back two packages of stroopwafles. A stroopwafle is a delicious treat from Amsterdam. It involves caramel and waffles. Yes.

So... I fell in love

...and that's why I haven't been blogging. Plus I've been having migraines like crazy. We've got them down to one a week, instead of EVERY DAY. That's right people. Every day.

Anywho, I have a lot to post about so expect more posts in the upcoming weeks...especially one about my fantastic boyfriend. He doesn't have an animal pseudonym but if you can suggest one, I'd appreciate it.

Here's today's little gem of awesomeness:
BTW-Marmoset, who I asked to choose his animal, is perplexed about why I would need to know that and is not happy about being left out of something. Marmoset works with Teddy and I. It's a little long, but hilarious.



Teddy-- [2:48 PM]:
So Pidgeon just said this to me...
i wish i had your brain sometimes.
when i become a zombie...your brain is first...sorry
Marmoset--[2:51 PM]:
hehehe
well, at least you now know that when she rises and becomes part of the walking dead you'll still be first in her eyes
or whatever a zombie might use for radar
Teddy-- [2:53 PM]:
no way, I told her yours was better
Marmoset--[2:53 PM]:
nah, it's old and mossy
Teddy-- [2:54 PM]:
you're smarter than my so yours must be tastier
Marmoset--[2:56 PM]:
depends on whether you have a taste for the smartiness or not
Teddy-- [2:56 PM]:
she will
Marmoset--[2:56 PM]:
might be too sweet
and powdery
Teddy-- [2:56 PM]:
HA!  Take THAT Mr. Smarty Brains!
Marmoset--[2:57 PM]:
Don't disappoint the girl. She clearly wants to eat your brains
Teddy-- [2:58 PM]:
I think it's imperative that she eat quality brains. 
Marmoset--[2:58 PM]:
you don't think she's getting her recommended daily allowance?
Teddy-- [3:04 PM]:
she's not a zombie yet
Pidgeon aka Me--[3:59 PM]:
why hello good sir and madam
Marmoset--[3:59 PM]:
So I hear you want to eat some brains
Pidgeon aka Me--[3:59 PM]:
well, when i become a zombie.
let's clarify.
Marmoset--[3:59 PM]:
and a fine how do you do to you
so is this an impending thing?
coming up sometime in the near future?
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:01 PM]:
i am not brain-hungry unless i am stuck in a hannibal movie
well, i don't know. i just like people who are smarter than me or smart ass-ier than me. so when i become a zombie i shall seek out their brains and make a sandwhich or pasta.
Teddy-- [4:02 PM]:
Make mine pasta
Marmoset--[4:03 PM]:
i see
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:03 PM]:
well, i won't eat yours since you said Marmoset's is probably tastier. but i'll share my Marmoset brain pasta with you.
Marmoset--[4:03 PM]:
so now you are both going to be zombies?
Teddy-- [4:03 PM]:
Marmoset's is probably way better but I don't want to eat his brains
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:03 PM]:
the possibility is high
oh
why not??
i would totally eat your brain Marmoset. (that is compliment)
Teddy-- [4:03 PM]:
I don't want to be a zombie
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:03 PM]:
i don't know why Teddy is insulting your brain.
well you don't get a choice.
Marmoset--[4:04 PM]:
i don't either
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:04 PM]:
i didn't choose to be a zombie.
Marmoset--[4:04 PM]:
frankly, I'm offended
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:04 PM]:
choose*
i would be too.
Teddy are you saying you wouldn't eat my brain either?
Teddy-- [4:04 PM]:
I'm not ingesting any part of anyone in this conversation
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:04 PM]:
are you saying my brain doesn't seem tasty? it's full of quips, brain teasers, mad libs, and snarky comments
Marmoset--[4:04 PM]:
so you'd ingest "other" people NOT in this conversation?
wow....
Teddy-- [4:05 PM]:
Pidge, you're brain probably tastes like lake and mother of pearl
Marmoset--[4:05 PM]:
I can't believe you just said that
Teddy-- [4:05 PM]:
*lace
Marmoset--[4:05 PM]:
I was curious about the "lake" flavor
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:05 PM]:
i think my brain probably tastes like macaroni and cheese.
Marmoset--[4:05 PM]:
would seem kind of fishy
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:05 PM]:
i know right
my brain just isn't good enough. Marmoset, would you eat my brain if we were zombies?
Marmoset--[4:06 PM]:
well, if we were both zombies, then, no
because it would old and zombie-musty
not fresh anymore
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:06 PM]:
honestly Marmoset...i'm not sure if zombies care
they're zombies
Marmoset--[4:07 PM]:
but if you weren't a zombie, i'd totally eat your brain
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:07 PM]:
i think they don't care what kind of brain it is. i mean you never hear a zombie saying "fresh braaaiin" or "cage free braaaain"
they just say "braaaaainnns"
Teddy-- [4:08 PM]:
If I ever encounter a zombie I will inform him/her that they better kill me cause I don't want to be a zombie
Marmoset--[4:08 PM]:
true
but you never see zombies eating other zombies brains.. they just leave each other alone
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:08 PM]:
good point
you're brain just gets tastier
Marmoset--[4:08 PM]:
I would have to say there has to be something in the scent
like a fresh brain smell or something
Teddy-- [4:09 PM]:
then I have to live like forever walking around smelling like a stinky gum-hole
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:09 PM]:
ew
Marmoset--[4:09 PM]:
nice
ok.....
i'm out of here for the day
Marmoset--[4:09 PM]:
talk to you zombies tomorrow
Pidgeon aka Me--[4:09 PM]:
take care of that tasty brain
Marmoset--[4:09 PM]:
it has a creamy center

On a side note: 

I made these cards out of mostly recycled paper from the recycling bin at work for a friend and her husband who is in the hospital. Quite proud of myself.

Happy birthday to me!

Its amazing how you can find a new friend wherever you go.  Meet Felipe. He works for the city fixing roads i think.  Not 100% sure because apparently lobsters may or may not have vocal chords. Or so I was told.



***UPDATE***

Last night, at approximately 8:47pm, Felipe was in a tragic accident. Reports from the scene are telling us that he was found in a stainless steel pot full of boiling water. At this point, we are not sure if his death was accidental or if foul play was involved.

Funeral services will be held, more information to come.
