Losing a covered wagon

Ah, Haddonfield.

Charming town nestled in Camden County

Steeped in rich history.

Proud of its magnificent colonial buildings

Yet, if the settlers, The Quakers, came to town today, they'd just ride on past.

And you'd hear them exclaim as they rode out of sight.

"What the hell's up with those potholes?"

FaceTime with Liz Claiborne

I missed a FaceTime call from my sister, so I immediately FaceTime'd her back. We were talking for a little bit, so I was just waiting for the comment about my having a hoodie on. And to take it off so she could see my face.

As I looked closer though, I realized I couldn't see her face either. Something was obstructing it.

So I asked if she was driving. And  figured that maybe the phone was situated next to her so that she could see me at red lights. Maybe it had slipped down and I was looking up at jacket.

She was driving.

So I asked what I was looking at.

"Oh, are we on FaceTime?"

She thought it was a regular voice call, so I had been staring at, and talking to the inside of her purse.

Misconstrued lyrics

I love that song "marry you" by Bruno Mars. 

It's my favorite right now and I play it on repeat the whole time I walk.
 
I know he's a quarter Jewish but I still couldn't figure out why he'd wanna put into his song "is it this dancing jew?"

So I had to look up the lyrics.

Is it this dancing juice.

Mine makes more sense.

Judy Yimka

While at West Chester I interviewed at a couple of places to work at after -school programs. After a couple of days with no call backs I was getting frustrated. I was at Kim's house so I called my roommate to see if there were any messages about a callback. 
I could hear her rustling through notes on my desk, then she got back on and said that there was note there from Judy Yimka. 

Weird name, I interviewed with a Judy, but the last name didn't sound familiar. I called the number. This is the message I got:

"You have reached Judy, Y.M.C.A."

Bazooka flavored cat food

I had to get antibiotics for my cat, the pink amoxicillin we had when we were kids. It even had the same bubblegum flavor. Not that I tasted it, but I could smell it. 

You'd think for a cat they'd make like, cricket, or mouse flavored.

The beginning of summertime!!!

Today is the day that I've been waiting for since November. I don't even have to change my clocks, because I keep them on summer time. Totally worth losing that hour of sleep to get that extra hour of daylight. I'm a summer person, who enjoys snow while I'm waiting for my beach time. Yay time change: best night of the year!!!

My duck boots caused nudity

The high duck boots are a pain in the butt to get on. They're not warm, so you have to wear 3 pairs of socks to keep your feet from freezing, which makes them even harder to put on. They are however water resistant, which is the cause of the problem: the boot is made up of one big piece of leather and you have to loosen it to stick your foot in.  

I end up doing ballerina toe points to get my feet into the leather part, but then I have to go through hell trying to get my heel in. Finally I realized that putting a plastic bag over my socks helps my foot slide in somewhat easily. Only problem is that I'm stuck with plastic bags on my feet. If I'm not going anywhere, I leave them and tuck them in. Otherwise I tug at them until the bag rips, thus pulling my toes so far backwards, my foot is now almost an inverted semi-circle. 

It was a full moon Thursday night and the sky cleared enough that I could go out to take pictures. Only problem: it was like 8°. Literally. So, I threw on a bunch of sweatshirts, long underwear, 3 pairs of socks and started the duck boot dance. The socks were thick, so even with the bags, I was having a hard time pulling them on. I swear it took like 10 minutes of huffing and puffing. But I finally got it done and stood up ready to go out. I still felt a little cold though.... 

I had forgotten to put on pants.

Once there was a little green ball of clay

I realized that even my dreams are fun when I woke up this morning singing the theme song from "Gumby". And his pony pal Pokey too.
