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...

Who are you? - Tra

I’m admittedly curious about, well, quite a few things. But perhaps I am the most interested in people. Why they do the things they do…their likes, dislikes, dreams and aspirations. Sooooooo I figured, why not ask a few people a few things about themselves. I’m going to try to convince , cajole, coerce ,  beg , ask a few people to take a few minutes to talk about their favorite subject - THEMSELVES. This is the first in what I hope will be many entries in the series   WHO ARE YOU? My first victim , guinea pig, test subject, guest is Tra.   I had the pleasure of interviewing him this afternoon. Here’s what he had to say: Mackgurl: Tra,thank you for agreeing to chat with me today. Tra: My pleasure. Mackgurl: Okay so no pressure just a few questions to help us learn about you. Ready? Tra: Ready Mackgurl: Great! First question. - What do you do? And by that I mean, for a living? Tra: I sell Kirby vacuums. Mackgurl: A salesman! Very nice! How...

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?  ...
