Cute cup

For those of you living in caves, McDonalds has dollar coffee right now, any size. Now at that price, I decided to treat my coworker, and I actually left the house with enough time to stop there this morning, which is a Christmas miracle all on its own. (I was tempted to say, “Long story short...” but isn’t that the point of my blog? And whenever I do say that, it’s a LIE, let’s be honest...see what I did there?) So I don’t know how she likes her coffee, so I ordered cream on the side. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY GAVE ME!!!?!??!? 

IS THAT NOT THE CUTEST CUP YOU’VE EVER SEEN?!!?! I got so excited, I think I delayed the line of cars behind me. And I wish you could have seen the look on the McDonald’s workers face. “It’s a cup. Move on with your life, and out of my drive through. Now. Right now.” 

Anyhow, I think I’ll order a side of cream with everything! “Hi there!” Who doesn’t say hello? There’s a person behind that sign, or somewhere in the vacinry anyhow. “Large Orea McFlurry please, side order of cream!” 

Sideways family

Facebook does some funny things sometimes, like today when it asked me this: 

“Would you like to make your sideways family your profile picture?” Uh no, I’d prefer to wait until my boyfriend figures out how to flip the picture, thank you. It’s not his fault he refuses to get an iPhone. I mean I know we had a lot to drink by then, we were just INSIDE that winery, but still. I’d also been drinking on a boat, pretending to catch fish before that. I wasn’t successful, at catching fish anyhow, the drinking went very well. 

See? That’s not my fish, but that IS MY WINE! I have that “not-holding -back-smile” that’s WAY too big to be photographed. Most people take that down a notch before “snap”. Yes, I can even tell this looking at it sideways. It’s so far past a teeth smile, or gums. I’m sure you can see my upper palette on that one. I was about to remind you I was still talking about the first photo, but I’m making the same stupid smile in both. Anyways, we had a great trip away, clearly. 

Best 5 way ever

Down Gatensbury street from my house, there’s such a thing as a five way stop. My new sexy dance classes are in Port Moody, so I’ve been going that way a lot more lately. This stop cracks me up. Every. Single. Time.

There’s only two scenarios that happen, either no one is there, or all five directions at the same time. When no one is there, I spend a ridiculous amount of time scanning to make doubly sure there’s no one, because by the time I’ve scanned from right to left, I have to check the right again. And it’s just jarring. It feels like a car is just going to pop right out of the trees!

The other scenario is when all five of us pull up at roughly the same time. Everyone gets this panicked look on their faces. Like “uh...the person to my right...are you going? I’ll go, no he looks like he’s going to go...” eventually someone musters the courage to establish THEY are the one going. But after that it’s a free for all. Funny thing is, I’ve never had a near accident at that one. It’s like everyone who goes through knows what a gong show it is, and proceeds cautiously. 

Once in a while you see the poor bugger who’s approached this intersection for the first time. Their mouth is usually gapped open, frantically looking around and they usually go last. “Okay. It’s safe now...*phew* what on earth just happened?”
