Happy Hump Day!!!

I found this beauty a few years ago. I remember laying on the couch and typed in "grandma holding chicken" on Pinterest. I laughed. A lot. Then I posted it on my friends wall, because sharing is caring.
Happy Wednesday, darlings. There won't be a post until...I have no idea when I'll post next. I'm moving. You know the drill. Byeee.

Cinco de Cuatro

That's not what today is. Some people's kids. Feliz Cinco de mayo! I ate leftover homemade enchiladas. My allergies started to act up last night. I felt knocked out. Kramer gets me.

P.S. There won't be a Friday post tomorrow because my Mother's Day post will be up and runnin' on Sunday. Stay tuned, because I'm unleashing the power of Mama Rock!

Embrace the Awkward

I'm the Queen of Awkward. I'm notorious for having an awkward conversation and/or inserting an awkward pause mid conversation. I'm so good at saying things that come out awkward. That's what I do. And I promise it's not on purpose. No, I think it stems from being a "loner" and not developing a lot of social skills as a young girl. I don't know. So if ever you to run into me and strike up a conversation, consider yourself warned that the potential of any awkwardness that may will pursue is not my fault. You got yourself into that mess. (Kidding, kidding...but really tho.) But if you're mean to me, I'll make sure to make it even more awkward just to see you squirm. #hatersgonnahate

Summer Days and the Kool-Aid Gang

Let's be honest. Kool-Aid is delicious. Especially when you're a little kid. That cold, sugary drink is what cools you down on a hot summer day! My mom never bought Kool-Aid, BUT my neighbors pantry was stocked! I remember those days sitting on the front porch in the summer heat, drinking Kool-Aid with my friends. That was the life!

One hot day after drinking a whole pitcher of Kool-Aid, we got a crazy idea. Kool-Aid is practically colored sugar. Add water and voila! You have yourself Kool-Aid! We filled the pitcher, added the necessary cups of sugar, and (for color) a few drops of food coloring. We stirred everything together and poured us a tall glass. I took a nice big swig and my world came to halting stop.
BLEH!!! It was disgusting! (Vomitrocious as my young self would say.) I guess you could say we forgot about the artificial flavoring that satisfies the palate.

Moral of the story: Save the sugar water for the hummingbirds.

First time

She was angry, but I wasn't sure why. But she was my friend, so I cared. And when you're friend is upset, you help her. She was running away from me. My little legs in comparison to her "giant" legs were no match. Where is Ashley? I thought as I chased after Rachel.

I spotted Ashley and yelled, "ASHLEY, GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE!"

Friends, that was the first time I ever said the word 'butt' out loud. I was in fourth grade.
