Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

 Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN. 

He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easier next time he wants to rearrange his room. I thought, "hmm, mi persona favorito is smart! Then to make more space for his Oscar, he put more of his things into boxes. He loves me so much and wants to make sure I have plenty of space to run and play. He even had his Papa get more boxes for his things. So sweet...

By the end of the weekend, his room looked like a hotel room waiting for a guest to arrive. Who was that guest? Oscar...yes, he and his Papa checked me into the remodeled, mostly empty and super clean room and then they left. No big deal...I mean I had my bed and my snacks and favorito beverage (water). So, I was fine until they came back from visiting my otra bestie or shopping.

 Little while later, they came back. Yay!! His Papa opened the door and I ran out. I saw mi otra bestie and gave her a grin all the while looking for mi persona favorito. I ran to the front door and looked out...no persona favorito. 



That's when I heard his Papa say "I wonder how he's doing at college?" COLLEGE!!??! LA UNIVERSIDAD?!!! Noooo those estudiantes live at LA UNIVERSIDAD!!!  So mi persona favorito wasn't coming right back. Maybe he will see his Oscar on a holiday?

I was sad but then I got angry. I'm still angry! They didn't even warn me...you know, so I could prepare myself - or hide in one of his boxes...

Anyway, when he comes home for a break or that major holiday, I'm not running to meet him at the door. Nope. Not until he apologizes for leaving his Oscar like that. Oh and there had better be treats! Lots of them...specifically these treats


If not, QUE PENA!

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

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?  ...

Deal Me In

A while back, I posted about being held hostage. See, that article was about...well I don't want to go into too much detail in case you haven't had a chance to read it yet (hint hint). Suffice it to say it was about being in a situation you'd rather not be in. Maybe you've been super fortunate not to have found yourself in a situation like that...until now. And who is your hostage taker? Say hello to COVID-19...UGH!  This virus has spread so rapidly and doesn't discriminate - everyone is a potential victim or carrier/transmitter. The best way to slow down what has become a pandemic is to limit exposure. To what? Well basically PEOPLE! Schools are closed, most businesses are closed - unless they are essential (hospitals, supermarkets, pharmacies...) restaurants are open but only for takeout or delivery. No movie theater, no malls, no parties. WE are basically on restriction! House arrest without the ankle monitors... If you're married/partnered - ok so maybe ...
