a lil' of dis' a lil' of dat'

I found out that my kids and their friends are calling my car the "Zhu Zhu pet" car (hmpf). When I am in car line, they joke and taunt me and my righteous whip. So I have been plotting a little "Halloween" transformation of the PT Cruiser. Mom don't play, Mom doesn't embarrass easily and Mom is planning on riding up in an "actual" Zhu Zhu pet car.... Stay tuned...

Speaking of funny vehicles, there is a huge construction site close to my home. I pass it everyday and wave at the cute boys, as a courtesy, you know, a community morale booster type activity.

In my fantasies dreams, I invite them over for scones and grape juice served in Dixie cups (I am a giver you know). They would sit patiently in little wooden chairs (all nakey Jakey like) so I could search them for ticks, but maybe that is only because I heard that Brad Paisley song about it, but, whatever, they COULD have ticks and I need to take every precaution.

I would knit them colorful meat cozy's, because colorful, knitted meat cozy's keep summer sausage fresher than just throwing it in the bright UV lights of the fridge unprotected (look it up on the Hillshire Farms summer sausage website, this is an edutaining blog if nothing else!! Cover your sausage every time!!).

GO MEAT!!!

OK, so maybe all of the big tractors and rogue dust blowing in the wind does something "special" to me. Until yesterday.. I tried to take a picture, but was going to quickly and thought that certainly you would not want me to die solely for your visual entertainment purposes,, (I may get a pic tomorrow, you're worth the risk). All of the tractors were BRIGHT PINK. I mean Bright Pepto Bismol pink, WTF??? Pink tractors with big burly men driving in tight Wranglers and hardhats,, you can't help but laugh seeing this imagery!!

A Village People tune started blaring in my head and I was contemplating a stopping by to talk to them about bedazzling their hardhats. I don't think my sweet gesture would be appreciated, but I AM sure no one would pass on the meat cozy's and health conscience tick "check points".
