This reminds me of the time...

This reminds me of the time I was in Wal-Mart with Shaun and I was trying on shoes and I heard my ex who worked there come out from the back telling another coworker that I was crazy. He mentioned a length of time and that's how I knew it was me he was talking about. It was super hard not to pop out of the aisle I was on like "Who, me?" 😂😂😂

Haha. Yes, I literally put a reminder in my calendar...

Haha. Yes, I literally put a reminder in my calendar the day I got the email that this place was making Red Velvet Tres Leches. 😂 I'm not about to miss that!

Me and Shaun tried a new place for dinner...

Me and Shaun tried a new place for dinner called KūKri Chicken Tikka Tenders. We like spicy food, so we went for the hottest thing they offered.

Y'all see this on the receipt? It wasn't kidding.

We just involuntarily wept through dinner - snotty noses and everything. 😂😂😂 What an exciting Tuesday night. 😂

I just made my first multi-lingual joke...

I just made my first multi-lingual joke and I didn't feel that Shaun appreciated it enough, so:

I'm going to bed early. It's cold and I'm tired and I'm even done with Duolingo for the night.

... I'm done with my habla-gations.

(Because I'm learning Spanish on Duolingo. GET IT!?)

Well, even if no one else thinks it's funny, I do and I'm proud of it. 😂😂😂

De nada y buenas noches. ❤️

Wal-Mart just sent me two shirts in the wrong color...

Wal-Mart just sent me two shirts in the wrong color rather than the one shirt I ordered in the correct color. 🤦🏻

To be fair, neither color selection would look nice on me. I just wanted a shirt with a collar that I could pull up over my nose in case of cold nose or dog farts. 😂

Maybe I should just take the W?

Shaun:  When do you want lunch?

Me (with my non-hearing ass):  Yeah.

Shaun:  *falls asleep in the recliner*

I don't think last night was what any of us were expecting. 😂

I don't think last night was what any of us were expecting. 😂

When we were eating dinner, the wind kicked up pretty hard (not unusual for here), but it also started raining hard.

I ran outside and started moving my plants into the greenhouse because I really hate for them to be watered from the top. If water remains on them, it can cause rot and the leaves can also get burn spots if the water is still there when the sun comes back out.

The roof and walls of the greenhouse are up, but the floor isn't done, my shelves aren't in, and in general, moving plants quickly in the dark and the rain is not ideal. Not to mention that I really, really wanted to clean the dust, bird poop, and any possible pests off of them before putting them in there, but at this point I'm just glad I had somewhere dry to put them.

Shaun came out to help me and about the same time we were done moving them, the rain had passed. Of course. 😒 What I didn't know was that there was more on the way. By the time I went to bed, it was raining again. It rained for a long time. I fell asleep listening to it.

I woke up this morning to two funny messages from Shadow. One:  We have a little roof leak in the stairwell. He put a cup underneath to catch it. (This one's only funny because it won't rot my house like it would've in Alabama. It'll dry fast here. We'll get it checked out/repaired and it'll be fine.)

The second message, well, see the image. 😂

This is funny because we ordered a microwave from Best Buy several weeks ago, but it never came, so Shaun called customer service and they sent out another one. We got the second one according to the tracking numbers. But just the other day, the one we ordered first showed up after being lost in the mail for weeks. We assumed it had been stolen. But anyway, it's been sitting in the living room, new in the box, because we didn't know what to do with it. I guess that sorted itself out. 😂

I haven't been awake for long. It's cool and cloudy, so very tempting to stay in bed with my weighted blanket and the cats. But I guess I need to get up, see if we can finish the greenhouse, and check on my plants.

Happy Saturday, y'all. ❤️

Story Time:

Story Time:

Around 15 years ago, when Shaun and I were dating, we were hanging out at his apartment and sharing a large Dr. Pepper from Sonic.

When the Dr. Pepper ran out, he (without my knowledge) refilled the cup with Root Beer, which I extremely dislike.  I took a big sip and found out in the worst way possible what he'd done.

To be fair, he didn't know how I felt about Root Beer and it wasn't malicious.

Today, we are running errands and we ordered Fiiz to pick up. They are out of bubbles, so my soda is flat (they informed me before they made it, and I was fine with that), but Shaun ended up just getting a drink card for his drink.

He asked for a sip of mine to try, and asked if it was Vanilla. As I handed it to him I said "Yes, vanilla and co...", but he'd already drank some. It's Vanilla and Coconut. He does NOT care for coconut. The frown he frowned. 😂😂😂

I didn't do that maliciously. He admits he rushed and got a sip before I was done speaking.

But we're even now. 😂😂😂

Apparently, it's not a deal-breaker...

Apparently, it's not a deal-breaker for Shaun if I drink rotten milk in his car.

I'm not saying that's what I'm doing... But he seems to think it is.

One of us has a messed up sniffer and I don't know who. 😂😂😂

Edited to Add:

Shadow was the tie-breaker. My milk isn't bad. I knew it. 😂

I just looked over at my phone and this was the screen. 😂

Google, are you UPSET?! 😂😂😂 Nobody was talking to you!

Making baked tofu and rice for lunch...

Making baked tofu and rice for lunch. I lost my impulse control and ate some tofu after I flavored it, but before I baked it. 😂 It was pretty good.

Googled afterwards and that's fine. I'll live to act like Bear another day. 😂😂😂

Wild child. 😂😂😂

Look, I am not a loser, ok?

Look, I am not a loser, ok? I'm not just out here losing stuff. Even as a kid I don't recall it happening much. I was brought up to appreciate what I had. If I lost something, it was not getting replaced.

So anyway, we were out last year and Kira wanted this bracelet. It was sometime before Christmas, so I told her we'd get it and it could be part of her holiday gifts. It came from a local Hispanic grocer. The person at the checkout handed it back to me after we paid, so when I got back to the car I dropped it in a Walgreens bag that was going in the house.

We got home and I was aware that we needed to put the bracelet up somewhere safe. I told Shaun that it was still in the bag and to hide it (because he is the gift-hider). Then, I assumed that he did.

Y'all, he DIDN'T. 😂

So anyway, Christmas came and went and we couldn't find this bracelet. Kira was like "Find it for my birthday, then." Fair enough, but if we couldn't find it for Christmas then we really had no idea where to look, though we tried. So her birthday (in March) came and went and STILL no bracelet. We eventually just took her back to the market and replaced it since that was definitely on us.

So today - this morning - I found it. Completely by accident.

Guess where it was.

You can't. 😂

It was still in the Walgreens bag, which was now under my bathroom sink.

The bag was under my sink upstairs because it was going to be used as a trash bag. I grabbed a handful of them recently from our bag drawer in the kitchen and I guess it was in that bunch. So last year someone crammed that "empty" bag in the bag drawer without checking and lost Kira's bracelet. I don't have any idea who did that. But we finally found it.

Happy June 24th, Kira. 😂

We were checking the menu of a new coffee place...

We were checking the menu of a new coffee place today when we saw this. I wonder how that happened. 😂😂😂

Shadow didn't see a difference...

Shadow didn't see a difference in Shaun's teeth before we pointed it out.

Kira saw Shaun's teeth and was like "No offense, but you're teeth were ugly before, like in a unique way. Like a rat." 😂😂😂 Then she said she could tell that they were shorter.

(We value honesty and Shaun's feelings were not hurt and she didn't say that hatefully or anything. Shaun and I both cracked up.)

Before Kira went back upstairs she asked me if I was going to be ok. I didn't answer (not to be a jerk... I think my head was elsewhere at that moment) and she paused and then repeated herself, but as a statement with a stern face looking directly at me. 😂 Yes ma'am. 😂😂😂

I love my little family. 😂❤️

We're watching The Crow.

We're watching The Crow.

It's just started.

Those are literally Ravens.

What the hell?

Edited:

We discussed watching this, like, last weekend. It's my first time.

Shaun was like, "Remember Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son died while making the movie."

I was like "I hope Bruce Lee is ok."

That's when I learned that Bruce Lee was also no longer with us.

Edited again:  He literally quoted "The Raven." What even. I think they misnamed this movie.

Edited again again:  Bruh. His name even has "raven" in it.

Last edit:  I'm done. It was fine. Still think it should've been called "The Raven" though.

Y'all ever wake up exclaiming with the dog?

Y'all ever wake up exclaiming with the dog?

I must not have been deep in sleep. Me and Cub heard a noise outside. He jumped up barking while I simultaneously sat up and said (far too loudly for it being the middle of the night) "What?!" 😂😂😂

We woke poor Shaun up. We caught the noise on camera, but don't know what it was. We just know it wasn't Bear.

Good luck to me on getting back to sleep. 😂

Toebean playing with Shaun's toebeans.

Toebean playing with Shaun's toebeans. I don't know what has gotten into him. 😂😂😂

There was this black powder in the kitchen floor...

There was this black powder in the kitchen floor this morning that wasn't there when we went to bed. Naturally, I blamed it on the kids 😂 and then started to clean it up. It was then that I realized it was tiny hairs... Like, SO tiny! Still blaming the kids I was like "Did Shadow drop a razor down here or something?"

Anyway, a few minutes later I found another patch of black powder on the floor and I knew I'd gotten it all up, so my accusation turned to Shaun - the only other person in the kitchen with me. He's got these ugly croc-type shoes (that's irrelevant, but true) and I was like "I bet you wore those when you shaved, DIDN'T YOU?" 😂😂😂 So then I told him to move his feet all around and he's like "What?" and I'm like "You don't always just walk straight."

And this motherfucker replied "No need to mutate" and if you don't get it then that's probably why I'm not married to you. 😂😂😂

P. S.  It was his hair from when he shaved. It really was just falling out of his shoes. 😂😂😂

Shaun...

Shaun just hugged me goodnight with wet hands and I...

Those were fighting words, I swear. 😂😂😂
