Anybody want a bike? Metallic green. Boys bike. Mongoose? We’ve got one that’s been sitting in our garage since last May and I’d love to get rid of it so I could quit tripping over the damn thing. LB had a bike riding field trip at the end of last school year and the coaew brought it over. No helmet, of course. Who needs a helmet? Not her kids! Anyhoo, the field trip was canceled but the bike still sits here. The boys don’t ride bikes here. Our street is too busy and I don’t trust them to not get their fool selves ran over. That shit isn’t happening on my watch! We’re getting a new washer/dryer (wooooo hooooo!) on Wednesday and would like to get unneccesary items out of the garage. We left it out for her to pick up on Saturday morning when she dropped off the boys and then again today to get it after school. I’m going to ask LB tomorrow if he wants the bike anymore (I think it may be too small for him now.) and if he doesn’t we’re donating it somewhere if it isn’t picked up by this weekend. We’re not running a storage unit here. Despite what the place looks like.
My chiropractor rocks. My left flipper has been pretty useless since last Wednesday. If I moved it or straightened it out, it hurt like hell and the rest of the time is was a screaming throb. I’d been holding it up near my body kind of like a Tyrannosaurus Rex to keep the pain down. (and I was really making a face like that too) I left work early Friday because I thought I’d swing by his office and get things fixed but they were closed. Left early today (after making an appointment) and now am much better. I’m looking forward to sleep tonight that isn’t interrupted every time I move because it feels like someone is stabbing me.
We went to a big car show in Orlando on Sunday and I actually wore my arm in a freaking sling because it kept it from hurting so badly. I looked like the biggest dork on the planet. LB delighted in following me and taking my photo when I wasn’t looking.
The stairwell at work smells funny. Like a douche. Not a strawberry one. A pickle one. I hold my breath when I’m in there. It is disgusting.
Oh! Speaking of that place! I won a trip to a theme park and am going there on Thursday! A paid day at a theme park! Of course, I will have to do whatever I’m told (everyone picked from work has to go as a group) and will have to make idle chit-chat with people but anything is better than answering the phone in Cubeville for 10 hours. I think…
You know what I have discovered on eBay? Tiny paintings and drawings. ACEO cards. I am addicted. Sweety says it’s better for me than heroin. See this little Mouse Fairy? I will be sitting by the computer, ready to snipe that cute little sucker at 5 p.m. on Saturday! It will be the perfect match for my Bunny Fairy. (I managed to snipe that original painting when it was up for auction.) Wootie woot! I am an eBay ninja.

Thankfully, I’ve never encountered a pickle douche.

Mongoose is a good bike. Our sons had them. Hope the LB takes it home. My oh my…you won a trip to a fun place? The bad news is that you have to go with co-workers and make that damn small talk. haha! Have fun…
I like your little tiny pictures. they are sweet. wish you could get one done of Tiny Dog and Stinky Dog? Have a great week.

They make pickle-scented douches?
Sometimes, I wish I was a chick.

Mike – I’ll bet you have but didn’t realize it. If they’re done right – they smell nice. Nice pickles.
Finding Pam – Not a Mongoose. My bad. I had Mongoose on my mind because that’s what kind of bike he wanted. COAEW has til this weekend to get it and then it’s going away!
I’m kind of excited about the theme park trip. Anything is better than answering customer service calls for 10 hours!
I’d love to get some tiny paintings of the canines. Maybe I will find someone to do them someday.
Moooooog35 – And strawberry. And spring meadow. One for all seasons.

Teach ‘em to ride the bike. I not they’ll become interior decorators so fast it’ll make your head spin.

I say donate the bike of COAEW doesn’t do the right thing. And the tiny print of the mouse is so adorable. Enjoy the theme park – and behave!!!

Phos – Better an interior decorator than road kill.
TheMom – I’m going to put the bike on the front porch where she can’t help but see it tomorrow. (the boys will come by the house after she picks them up for school, most likely). If it’s still there tomorrow night – it’s a sign.
So hoping I manage to snag the mouse!
Hey, I always behave :)

Patti – Ninja is the only way to be if you want to win on eBay!
Dude, the amusement park kicked ass! I’ve never been to this one without kids and it was neat to walk around at my own pace.
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow – A good trip, I hope. Not one of those bad ones where the walls melt and try to eat you.
