V-Day Delights...


Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Are you ready? For what, you ask? Well for all of the faces of the hopeful...those waiting at their work place. For whom? For what? Well duh, for the most sought after, looked for, hoped for person of the day - THE FLORAL DELIVERY PERSON!! Every single time the door opens tomorrow, the masses will wait and hope with baited breath...eyes will widen and swing to and fro and then zero in on the door...all waiting to see who will receive the first/next/best/biggest/ delivery. Roses, tulips, orchids, lilies and that's not all. Stuffed animals, boxes of chocolates and balloons of various colors/sizes/shapes will be arriving en masse.
Oh and it's not just the workplace that will have this influx of floral bouquets. High Schools will be even worse, I mean will see even more deliveries. Flowers, baskets, balloons, banners and posters! And the various school organizations gets in on this heavy. Cue the PA... "FOR $3.00 YOU CAN HAVE A ROSE DELIVERED TO YOUR SECRET CRUSH DURING THE DAY. ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT YOUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION"      Now after that announcement, maaaaannnn the students are watching the door in each one of their classes...waiting and speculating on who will be receiving a rose (Ha! Don't believe me. How many of you watch or know of a show about who receives a flower? IJS)
And then it happens (cue the PA again) "MRS. JOHNSON? WILL YOU PLEASE SEND TIFFANY DAVIS TO THE OFFICE?"  This announcement is met with oooohs and whispers and speculation as to why Tiffany is being called to the office. Tiffany herself wonders...panics? Is she in trouble?! Did something hap-and then she remembers what day it is. IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY!!!! Now she can't get out the door and to the office fast enough! When she returns she's not empty handed. Oh no, not even close!She comes back to class, arms laden with a vase of roses, a teddy bear that's at least 4 feet tall, a dozen heart-shaped balloons, a box of chocolates...and the biggest toothpaste-commercial smile ever!!!image.png
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ok I will behave...is this better?

This year, I decided to do something a little different for Valentine's Day. I am taking VACATION!! That's right! I will NOT be in the office tomorrow. I will not be waiting with baited breath for a floral delivery or any other sort of delivery. I will be on VACATION. Where am I going? Oh, I'm not going anywhere. I just took the day off to give folks a reason to speculate. I figure it's MY gift to them.
XOXO,
Mackgurl

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...

Oscar Chronicles - Locked Up

Hola... Sigh - I'm writing to you today from jail, prison, lock up, the slammer, the clink...ok so you may know it by any of these names. For me, I call it... THE CAGE. It's where you get sent when you do ba- err stuff the people would rather you not to do...and get caught (smile). The severity of the infraction or the recurrence of such infractions determines your sentence length.  Hmm, guess that's how it works for people, too eh? Except for one key diferencia... I don't get a lawyer or a trial. Nope. No jury of my peers. Guilty and...  THE CAGE. Mi Mug Shot So what was the charge this time? Well, mi gente already know how much I like to eat. My food, your food, people food, whatever. As long as it's food and I like it, I want to eat it. Side-note: There's nothing better than people food 😛 So, mi persona gave me something he called a candy cane. Have you had this? Aye Dios Mio!It was sooooooo good! First, he let me sample it. He told me not to bite it but a ...
