Hard Times

 Ah the joys of nature, of the wild...Nature is so beautiful and picturesque. All the animals just running about playing and having a good time right? At least that's what you've been told, lead to believe, right? So those stories or those cartoons where the animals are like gangs or just mean must be just made up? Pure fiction, right? WRONG! They are true! Some of us animals are just plain mean! So mean it would make you humans blush, smh...

Don't believe me? Ok well this is a picture of me last year



Don't I look cute? But even more than that, don't I look happy, care-free? Not a care or a worry in the world. Ahh, those were the days. I didn't realize how good I had it Roaming freely, playing with friends, chilling by the lake. Eating and drinking  - you know ust living the dream. Well, that dream became a nightmare when THEY showed up UGH.  Some new kids moved in and yeah ok at first it was fun. They were the cool ones - had been on the otherside of the lake. Boasted about seeing the world - afterall they'd BEEN TO THE OTHERSIDE OF THE LAKE!! Oh and they regularly played dodge-car-truck/SUV/bus(I never played that)...So when they let me join their group, I was geeked!

One day they said we were playing a new game. They called it HIDE-N-GO GET IT. One of them would go hide a big green apple. Whoever found got to eat it! Yummy! So Big Buck goes off to hide the  coveted treat, comes back and whispers "hide-n-go get it'. No one moves. Then he yells it and off we went! Running and looking for the big apple. Suddenly, I realized I was all alone.Where did everyone go? Why'd they stop looking? Didn't they want the apple? Maybe they were full? Allergic? Or maybe they were just being nice to the new guy? Awww

And then I heard a sound - one that will stay with me forever - however long that is. CRACK! Soooo lound that I froze. Looked but didn't see anyone or anything. Then BOOM! That's when I felt this pain, strong and throbbin. I wanted to run but I was frozen. What happened? Why? Who?Then I remembered a story my DeerPa told me about tools that sounded really loud and would stop you cold. And I was definitely, stopped cold. Right here, just like this.

Moral of the story - don't believe those stories about all animals playing and roming through the forest. Some of them, those animals are just plain mean! Old Buck set me up. Why, who knows! I no I don't. 

Well if you'll excuse me, I'm gong to go back to pretending to be ahem UNALIVE so I ca jump ad run when these people, the ones with the BOOM tools least expect it!

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 ...

Cast Off

Letting go isn't always an easy thing.  It is most times, well, a necessary thing...of course necessary has nothing to do with easy.  How many of you are currently in a relationship? No, not with chocolate or alcohol but an actual relationship with another person? They text you or call you every day several times a day...you're making plans to see them before you even finish with one date...you miss them when your time together for that date is drawing to an end...you see them walking towards you and you can't help but smile, waiting for that hug, that kiss...you have so much fun with them you can't imagine them not being around... Fun stuff right? (Ok well most of the time it is - if not, get out but that's a post for another time)  Ok so for all the currently boo'd up readers, is this your first relationship? Hmm, I'm guessing probably not - at least for most anyway. So at some point you were head over heels for someone else. Each day you woke up excit...

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT)                                                                                                                                                    http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...
