Chick vs. Monkey...

Last week Mama took her Lil Chick on a trip to visit family and play with her cousin Monkey...

So Lil Chick, meet your cousin Monkey, who you haven't seen in over a month :



So Lil Chick, what do you think about Monkey? :



Monkey (with a rather stunned expression), "can you believe that!? She yawned! She thinks I'M boring!?" :



Monkey, what do you think about Lil Chick? :



Lil Chick,"He yawned! He thinks I'M boring!? That makes me mad!". She begins to cry...

However, Monkey decides to ignore Lil Chick's protest :



That just ticks Lil Chick off, so she decides to give Monkey the dreaded cold shoulder :



And that makes Monkey feel bad. Very bad. Monkey, "I'm SO SORRY I called you boring, PLEASE forgive me!?



In the end, Lil Chick and Monkey call a truce and all is well. Drama drama drama!

We'll see what happens next time...

They Keep You Humble...

Why you should always check your child's homework...



(Here's the reply the teacher received the following day)

Dear Mrs. Jones,

I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot. From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

My Beautification Stuff...

I was tagged for the Medicine Cabinet Meme by my bloggy ebuddy Growing Up Mo'. Of course I am playing along cause my bloggy folder fodder (say THAT ten times fast!) is either A. Empty or B. too dull for words.

So, here we go. The guidelines for the M.C. Meme:

1. Take a picture of your medicine cabinet.


2. You may clean, organize, dispose of the Preparation H if you'd like.


3. Write a post describing what's in the cabinet. (favorite products, least favorite, expiration dates on old products)


4. Leave a link to said post in this comment form.


5. Tag some friends to play along if you'd like. (make sure they link back to this post)

Let us begin. Because I don't even have a medicine cabinet I did drawer pictures. I have three drawers in my bathroom that I shove all my junk into. And because I've been lazy, I haven't bought those handy dandy doodads to organize my stuff.

Alex, can we see what we have behind drawer #1?

Oh, exciting stuff. The Vaseline body butter is enough to make me celebrate, not to mention my apparent need of not three, but FOUR dark brown cover girl powder compacts. You know the funny thing? They are all different colors. One for winter pastyness, two for summer tan (doesn't a tan sound GLORIOUS right now?) and one for normal. Please tell me I'm not alone in this rationale?

Alex, what do we have behind drawer #2?



Lots of hair care products, hair dryer, blah blah blah. Oh wait, what's that funny white circle container? Anyone have a baby recently? Yep, you know what those are (wink wink). Also, a pink hat, because why not keep a pink hat in your bathroom? Makes sense to me.

See the brownish fabricky things? Those are non-skid hospital socks. I can explain.

I use them for safe storage of my Chi flat iron when it's not sitting out on my counter and for traveling. Gotta protect those ceramic plates. Those babies are expensive to replace. Do try my flatiron storage method, but please wash the socks before you use them.

Ok, Alex, drawer #3 please:



Obviously I mostly keep my jewelry in here. Very neat and clean, huh?

What's making me laugh is that I just noticed I have a blue deodorant in every drawer. Just in case, you know.

And lastly, the pièce de résistance:



My hidden portable medicine "cabinet" in our walk in closet. Yep, because if you need face wash, shaving cream or a good ole Ace bandage while changing your clothes it's right at your fingertips. OR, if your husband is a dentist you can store 8 different electric toothbrushes in there. And I didn't even take a picture of the 3 boxes of toothpaste samples on the shelf. Pity.

As for tagging, are you reading this? Do you have a blog? Consider yourself tagged. AND, there is an incentive! $25.00 to Sephora- but the deadline is today, 1/30. If you do play along, you gotta link back to Supermommy (the hostess giving away the gift card) and this post of hers.
