Pretty In Pink

Husband gave me flowers for my birthday! LOL 

It's actually a 'weed' from the front lawn but I couldn't be more pleased if it were a dozen long stem roses! 

As a matter of fact I prefer the weed to roses!  (These didn't make me sneeze!)

Electronic Twilight Zone…. Re Faire

OR……I have inherited my mother’s ‘talent’ with electronics.

Never has it been more evident than last night when I went to make my Fauxppuccino.

A little background here…..I have been making myself what I loving dubbed a Fauxppuccino for years. It’s a blended concoction of flavored K-cups, crushed ice and skim milk. I make it in the single serving container of my Ninja blender. So, last night, there I was with all the ingredients in the container….I plop it on the base……AND……..nothing!

Nada!

Zilch!

The power button doesn’t even light up. Uh-oh……

Okay, so I make sure it’s plugged in (don’t laugh; you know you’ve done that too!)

Check.

The ground fault plug hasn’t popped.

Check.

The container has engaged with the base.

Check.

Hmmmmm. I don’t see a problem but like any good technician shooting a trouble I retrace my steps from the beginning.

Check, check and check.

I can’t figure out the problem and am beginning to get frustrated which, in turn, brings Husband into the kitchen to see what’s going on. As he walks by he pushes the power button and the F#@*ING thing turns on instantly!!! He chuckles and keeps on walking.

I push the ‘single serving’ button that is supposed to engage the blades and……..NOTHING!!!!

Not a whirr, not a hum, not a sound of any kind!

I push it again….. nothing!

At this point I'm really starting to get pissed ……..Husband walks by again, leisurely pushes the single serve button, and the Ninja starts like it's going to blast off the counter!!!!

WTF? 

I don't know what's going on here but I have christened Husband the Appliance Whisperer. 

Punny Monday

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

♪♫♪♫♪ Baby It’s Cold Outside ♪♫♪♫

Woke up this morning and my phone said it was 27°!!! 

No way! It can’t be! This is SOUTH FLORIDA! 

So I turned on the news…..no, it’s not 27°…..it’s 31°!!!!

…the hell…..????

So here I sit all bundled up, heavy sweatshirt over my outfit, swaddled in a fleece throw and SOCKS!

I haven’t had socks on my feet in at least fifteen years!!!! It feels so……weird……

What? 

You knew I was going to sketch feet didn't you????? 

Thoughts on a Thursday

Why are plastic bears the only animal you can get honey from? Why can't you get honey from a plastic bee?

Because I Can

These were exercises in mark making I was working on for a class. 

And because I'm still trying to perfect my screen captures on TableyToo

 and because I can...... I made this for your amusement! 

(Okay, it was really for my own amusement but why keep it to myself when I can make you suffer too!) 

LOL

Make sure your sound is turned on, it's

 the best part! ;)

 (It's also better at full screen.....just sayin', lol)
