lions, tigers, bobcats, oh my!
so i really don't like az anymore... but for today i will.

why, you ask?

i am getting ready for work and there is a bobcat in my backyard!!!!!

it's like i live in a nature preserve... which is kinda awesome.

i'm still moving away as soon as i finish school. unless my mom bribes me with a sweet car and a condo... not likely.

i want to live in a place with monkeys.... costa rica???

bob cats are really beautiful... coolest moment of my week thus far. :o)

i had the camera and then it jumper over the wall, grrrrrrrrr.

You don't want monkeys. :::link:::
metalpeter - 07/22/11 18:29
Keep those pets indoors unless you can't take care of them any more but that is pretty cool and kinda scary....
tinypliny - 07/22/11 12:43
Monkeys? Try Delhi. Monkeys rule the city.

father's day
it's hard not having a father on father's day. it's hard not having one at all...

my mom's bf, well his kids don't do anything for him. i offered to take him out for dinner...

we will see what he says.... but i just don't want him to feel sad. i am feeling kinda sad, but it will pass.

;)

holiday mode
is now my official phrase for this summer.

the people i work for have a button inside their fridge that says, "holiday mode". what does this mean for a fridge???

for a person, more specifically me, it means low levels of stress and high levels of fun and fancy....

my summer has been mostly that so far...

12 hrs of children and me tomorrow, getting a good nights rest.

Maybe it when you open and close your fridge a lot? So it might be to keep it cooler?
tinypliny - 06/16/11 19:35
It's time to clear out the freezer food because you never know?

creeper
i met this guy once, gave him my number...

big mistake. i have never had a stalker, so i guess this is the closest it gets. he has been calling and texting at all hours.

did he not get the clue when i stopped responding? i never even went on a date with him and i don't even remember his name.

pretty sure it is time for him to move on to pursuing a female that will actually talk to him.

in the same way, when a guy stops responding to my calls or texts, i stop. i even do regular delete sweeps through my phone and remove people i don't speak to anymore or am angry with so i don't make a mistake and text or call.

the only people i wouldn't dare delete are my family and oldest friends... but everyone else is fair game. maybe this makes me weird but i don't care.

that being said, at least there is one guy who really wants to date me... even though he will never get a date, it is a somewhat nice feeling to be wanted.

i went to my friend's house yesterday, and she and her husband have created this insane huge garden in their backyard, and they have so many different things growing. bamboo, pumpkins, herbs, peaches, oranges, zucchini, peppers.... it was really neat and it made me feel like i should take on more tasks like that and be creative. or maybe i can just visit their garden when i have the urge...

much respect to those who garden, i don't like getting dirty or lifting things or sweating when it is not for a workout or dancing. i do however like gardens, and tea, and tiny little sandwiches and cakes...
tinypliny - 06/06/11 15:41
And all that talking reminds me of cricket even though I don't like watching the game so much (it's uber boring!)
tinypliny - 06/06/11 15:37
Oh man! I feel for you. They are awesome! Maybe we will make some after yoga this week. Finding gluten-free bread is a problem though... Cucumber sandwiches are typically made from this kind of bread: :::link::: It's rather dense. The thinness is actually just slicing. You need a REALLLLLLY sharp heavy wide knife to get the characteristically thin slices. The bread should not crumble and you can only achieve that effect when you slice uniformly.

And you need to find those sharp crisp smaller cucumber that don't have seeds. Slightly chilled butter. Freshly sqeezed lemon to lightly season the cucumber and salt. I also like coriander chutney in it but (e:Paul) would probably die...

Anyway, the idea is to just get a gluten free bread and slice it VERY VERY thin (but no so thin as to crumble) and cut the crusts off (I love the crusts so I just eat them as I chop them off..) Pardon my snobbery but your kitchen has woefully blunt knives and we won't come anywhere close to a decent slice...
matthew - 06/06/11 15:14
Do you, tiny? I've never had one. I know you are supposed to use the thinest bread you can find, I haven't found any thin gluten free bread.
tinypliny - 06/06/11 14:43
I make the best cucumber sandwiches in the world.

And I am not even being humble when I say that.
matthew - 06/06/11 12:22
I do the same thing with phone numbers. We'll have to plan a tea party in the garden this august. I've always wanted to make cucumber sandwiches!

new york!
so i am going to the city in a few weeks to help my sis move. i am taking this job very seriously, and i have amped up my workouts even though she is hiring movers and i won't really need to lift anything. i want to be strong and fit just in case.

it's really happening at the perfect time, i miss ny and i miss my sis. plus we have lots of fun activities planned:

reception at the mandarin oriental, one of my fav hotels that i've never stayed at but i just love it. everything about it is classy and beautiful... did i mention that hotels are one of my fav things in the world?! the nice ones of course... i am sure they also serve great drinks with top notch ingredients... which is also important to me.

we are going to get awesome bedazzled nails as well...

also, my sis's crazy scientist friend is having a bday! so that will be fun. well, she's not so much crazy and she is just very smart and pretty too... and she can sing so i am jello. and she runs a million miles, and i want to run too in central park but i really hate running...

ok, and of course pizza.
