FruitGasm


Pineapples! Gotcha, lol! Ok so I'm told this has become code for something...could be funny, could be dirty or just mildly inappropriate. But meh, maybe it depends on the inflection...hmm. Any who, pineapples - flesh, so juicy and sweet - MMMM. Wow, maybe PINEAPPLES are kinda naughty. Either way, I enjoy them so much. Probably enjoy them too much (my tongue has suffered on more than one occasion). When I lived in Hawaii, pineapples were practically everywhere! I took great joy in eating the ripe, sweet golden fruit....juices running down my chin...sticky, sweet, delicious (Whoa...)

 Moving on...of course it's not just pineapples that I enjoy. Peaches, pears, nectarines, plums, guavas, honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon, cherries, blue berries, strawberries, oranges, pomegranates (not the easiest to prepare to eat but so worth it), bananas, grapes, apples...Yes, I REALLY like fruit - but not all of them (tomatoes, for example. Yes, a tomato is technically a fruit) But most of them are OKAY by me. In fact, I enjoy them sooooooo much that I'm super picky about which ones I buy. Examining, smelling, thumping, checking for bruises, dents and dark spots - takes 5-EVER but I can't help it. They have to be RIGHT.

Choosing bananas is the worst! Is that yellow, YELLOW enough? Are they ripe enough or too ripe and will be mushy? (Ewwww) Too many  spots and OMG is that a DENT???  Hey, did you know bananas are supposed to be peeled from the "bottom"? No? Well, now you do.

 So I'm thinking that I probably won't be using any grocery shopper services. You know the ones that you shop online, they get your list and do the shopping for you. I'm not sure I could trust them to make sure my produce was selected properly.  Alright, perhaps I am slightly OCD about the look, feel and smell of the fresh fruits I buy and eat. Or perhaps I just like quality...

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 easi...

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? ...

Oscar Chronicles - How 'bout a drink?

  Hola! I'm not going to ask you that silly ques-okay so I AM going to ask... Did you miss your Oscar favorito? Claro! How could you not? Have you been enjoying the summer? It's been soooooo hot but I don't mind, usually - except for the times when I'm thirsty. Like the otra day. I was outside enjoying some time in the sun -  mi familia was outside making delicious meat treats on the cooking box. And of course they had to share some with their precious Oscar:). Ohh they were sooooo good! They made sure I had plenty all to myself! Little while later, mi familia got too hot so they went into the casa. Well, it was very hot...even I was a bit warm so I went in, too. I thought I'd go get a drink of water to cool down. Besides, all those delicious meat treats made me thirsty. So I go into the room to get mi agua. As I'm walking to my bowl, I notice mi familia laying on the comfy chair drinking icy cold drinks. This made me even MORE thirsty so now I'm RUNNING to ...
