Shoot me now. This is sooooo bad. I've not liked Bobby since he was a Mouseketeer. meeska mooska mouseketeer... and that gold fringe-y vest confirms I was right. Remember him now?
And this is SOOOOO good!
Today in the studio I spent two hours looking for what in hell I did with a small piece that I thought might work as an entry for Material Voices. Two hours. Gone. Lost from my limited hours I have left. Two houses I could have been making a new thing. Two hours climbing ladders, poking through stacks, and getting frustrated, only to find that the piece I was looking for was way too big anyway. Now it's almost time to go fetch the fur kids from daycare at their little 'resort and spa' (don't judge me) a block away. The idea is that they will be mostly kept awake for this half day, and thus their little selves will happily snooze all afternoon so then I have a WHOLE day of dog-needs being met. I should have gotten sheep.
So I was sitting and ruminating in the studio and the wee refrigerator started making some odd sounds- mostly I don't hear it because the AC is noisy and going most of the time but it cycled off for a minute. So I gave the refrigerator a good whomp and the sound stopped BUT all of a sudden I saw a couple of ants scurrying around. I have a wooden tray on top of the refrigerator with a tiny coffee maker and a couple of mugs, so the 'whom' dislodged it about an inch and the ants ran back underneath, So I moved the tray and screamed bloody murder as an entire ant colony went berserk!
Amazing- I truly had NEVER seen an ant anywhere in there, and the tray has been there at least a year with no need to move it. Grabbed the vacuum and had a mad 20 minutes of catching thousands of ants trying to get away from me carrying their important stuff along with them. ICK ICK ICK! So then I washed all the things on top of the little refrigerator, and saved actually pulling it out from the wall for a time when I had a stronger stomach for destroying more ants. I'm not in much of a hurry to go back real soon. So I contacted the Calming Manatee and here's what she says:
An I just found this- it reminds me so much of ME trying to get one home into another place dragging it along with me, huffing and puffing. But I'm not so cute. I worried the whole time watching this that the can edges might be sharp and he might make his own serving of calimari if he doesn't be careful.
I like mine sautéed quickly with a light dressing and lots of hot peppers. Or of course deep fried. However I can get it. And I like my houses without rust too, hard to find here in the 'sunshine' state.
Finally, one of my readers sent along this card, so I thought I'd pass it on to you to remind you to find me the best squirrel outfit, not necessarily including guns! Add that to YOUR list too! I'm waiting...
