Oscar Chronicles - Invited to the Cookout

 Hola!! Did you miss me? I already know that you did. How could you not miss Oscar? (smile) Well you will be happy to hear that I survived my chip binge without punishment!!! Isn't that great?! In fact, they said not a word about it at all. Kinda weird to be honest. Part of me wonders if this calm, non-reaction is because I am just this truly beloved or if this is simply the calm before the storm? It has to be because I am beloved - after all, it's been weeks since that happened. Or...are they just waiting on me to do something else? Something worse then devouring those sinfully delicious chips??

No es importa - my weekend was great! My helpers had extra people over. I'm not sure why but it seemed like a fiesta! Lots of foods - even meat on the hot box. I think I heard them call it an EGG...doesn't look like an EGG to me. Whatever it's called, it puts that wonderful taste into the pork chops and chicken so nice and smokey!! Oh yeah they had some lettuce but what do I want with green leaves? There's MEAT!!!  EGG or not, where I was posted (below the hot box) I could catch the delicious drippings and maybe an occasional dropped meaty treat. No luck on the dropped meaty treat but those delicious drippings - the fatty goodness - were all for me. YUMMY!! 

Maybe it was because the fiesta was in full swing with music, food and drinks - I got lucky. I don't know if they were careless or just being nice but I did get a few pieces of meat given to me. And before I knew it I was quite full. My little svelte belly was simply poking out - but I was happy and sleepy. Ready for a nap! But not outside, on the steaming hot ground. I need the chill of the A/C. So I figured with everyone going in and out I could just slip in when they opened the door. I'd take a quick nap and come back for more MEAT! And so I did.

But when I woke up to go back outside to ahem - relieve myself before getting more MEAT there was a problem. No one was coming back inside. I ran to the backdoor - nobody. I ran to the front door - nobody. All I could hear was music and laughter! How dare they laugh when I am literally sitting here with all 4 legs crossed...willing myself not to...Oh no!!! What do I do? What do I do? What do I...Ahhhh that's much better. Ay dios mio! I went on the floor?!!! 

Hmm, now where did I put that magic Hide-a-Oscar blanket?

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Very Superstitious

Do you think black cats portend bad tidings? Are you triskaidekaphobic (fear of the number 13)? Growing up, I used to hear all sorts of things that were supposedly bad luck or could bring on something that you'd rather not, well, bring on. There was the one about walking under a ladder...or how many of you remember that little ditty about stepping on a crack and breaking your Mama's back? Yeah? I thought you might LOL  I asked a few people about any superstitions that they may have heard/been told. Not all of them are omens of doom and gloom. Some are kinda funny and some you might even want to have happen. Like this first one: If palm of your left hand is itching, you're going to receive some money.       Okay, that's a superstition that I can deal with. Now don't go rubbing your left hand on poison ivy to make your palm itchy to get money. The only thing you're going to do is end up with itchy palms that will spread and have you bathing in oatmeal and ch...
