Who wants to help me with my comma placement? I want an A! :)

I just gave a little girl a cup for her topping - oreo crumbs, because they won't stick on an ice cream cone. Then I watched as she dumped the whole thing on her cone. I don't think a single piece stuck.

That might just have been the cutest thing I've ever seen... except it's the end of the day and I'm so very very done. I'm so sick of people asking me stupid questions, grabbing things, huffing helium, making messes and not fucking tipping me.

Ok, while writting this I had another customer, as I was ringing them up, I noticed thier kid who was shorter than the counter and cute as a button. I thought to myself "aw, she's so-"*sticks finger up nose* ha! I guess that still counts as cute.

He has a yeast infection in his ear from all the antibiotics.


yeeeesh!

I'm starting to calm down, but I need focus. So... out of my head and through my hands you go.

Apparently "Error 7" means turn from a freezer into a heater. I lost everything in the cake freezer. Grand total only being just over $230, and who knows how much in repairs. Some days I feel like I will never be free of my self-induced slavery. I didn't think I was going to be able to repack the cakes that are due tommorrow, but luckily the customers were understanding. I've rearranged the dipcase to hide the flavors that I'm out of, and showcase the chocolate dipped cones, which are nice and fresh since I had to remake them all!

It was kinda neat seeing the defrosted chocolate dipped bananas, the chocolate shell was still banana shaped, but kinda deflated, with a brown sticky puddle of ooze all around it. mmmmmmm banana oooze.

I have only 2 more... ok make that 3 more things standing between me and Christmas. 1. I can't find seasonally packaged tri-flavored popcorn anywhere! wtf, I thought every store sold that. That's my new stand-by for my dad. Not only does he like popcorn, but "popcorn" was one of the words that my mom used to repeat, it meant everything like "aloha" or "smurf". 2. I haven't even started the scarf for my sister-in-law! I could just do something plain, but I'd way rather do this pretty lacy design that I've never attempted before.... I did manage to finish the celtic knot one, after I stopped crying. 3. My fucking dog, man. fuck. wtf! He's had his "hat" (elizabethan collar/cone/whathaveyou) over his head for weeks now, his feet are healing, but they still seem like there's just something wrong beyond his own chewing. I took it off last night because he'd rolled in something and it was all bent in, but then I noticed he was favoring his OTHER ear, not the one with the big lump that's filled with fluid. So I grab the q-tips and try to clean it out, but it's so swollen I can't really do anything... no wonder he can't hear me! I thought he was just being stubborn because he's older than me now and he doesn't have to do what I tell him to. ;P~ He won't eat his food and I don't know if it's because he doesn't like the "small bites" Steve got him or if it's something else. He's such a baby. I had to feed him 1 piece at a time, that's the only way he'd eat anything. Of course that's not so much fun when it's small bites and covered in canned dog food. I don't fucking get it. He'd stare at his bowl and drool, and only eat from my hand, if I took a whole handful he wouldn't touch it, if it's just one or two peices he'd take it. If it fell on the floor he'd eat it, if it fell in the bowl, he'd ignore it.

I was just about to close when a group of drunk yuppies showed up at my drive-thru... without a car. yada yada yada, they tipped me $10! That's more than I make in a week sometimes, and twice as much as I got from Esteban!

I'd been on the phone with AT&T for about an hour when my Jehova's Witness came in. I told the lady on the phone that she could hold while I discussed creation vs evolution, but it was going to be a while. He didn't even seem to notice that I was on the phone, he just started right in.

A trip to Seaworld was his vehicle this time. Those creatures are so wonderful and beautiful and they are so smart, they've learned so many tricks but... they can't feel love. o.0 I really do enjoy our talks, but I refuse to have the same conversation twice. We've gone over this before, my dog loves me and you can't make be believe otherwise. I told him that I have mixed feeling about Seaworld, sure they take good care of the animals, but they're still in cages. They still are being deprived of the little things in life that we don't know exist, there are microbes and trace elements that are all part of the delicate balance of nature, and we took that away from them so we could demean them and make them do flips for our amusement. Plus, everyone needs to be around someone who speaks their language. This is why my house is like friggin' Noah's Arc, 2 of each kind so no one is lonely.

Steve called, I faked like I was taking a cake order, hoping he would leave, I really wasn't in the mood. I'm not going to convince him that humans aren't as special as we make ourselves out to be, and I'm not going to all of a sudden say "You're right! Animals have no souls, I'm now a Christian!"

I didn't work, he was going to stay while I took the cake order... but then! I got ANOTHER CALL! It was the State's Attourney's office, wondering what it was I did now, I reluctantly admitted that I was the person they were looking for. As it turns out, they really did catch the guys that robbed me, I really didn't recognize them from the pictures the news gave me, but apparently one guy confessed. They're moving forward with the prosecution and I will need to give a deposition. He'll most likely get 10 years.

Another phone call, this time it's my dad.
dad: "Well, I hope you're happy."
me: "I was, but now I feel like I shouldn't be."
dad: ...uh, can't remember exactly something about something I "gave him"
me: "...a lifetime of love and happiness?"

nope, that wasn't it as it turns out. He was going to buy my Christmas present and got rear-ended... he's not "driving all over town in that truck", so I guess no Christmas for me... lol. We're fun.

I didn't see Steve yesterday, so this morning we were catching up and he pointed out that if animals are so different from us, then how come Adam & Ever weren't surprised that there were talking snakes?

Feel free to chime in, I like other people's opinions. :)

One major unforseen downfall to toilet training your kitten?

Sycronized defacation.

When I would put the Litter Kwitter on the floor so I could use the toilet, I thought it was so cute that my kitten and I would pee at the same time. Now we're on stage 3, and the hole is big enough for me to pee in.... that is, I can put the seat down and go... now imagine sitting there peeing, and there is a kitten franticly scracting at the floor, he's by the door oooh, out of reach... wait no, now he's behind the toilet, quick! scruff him! ooh, now he's going thiiiiisss waaaaaaaayyyy! </end>

I did manage to scuff the lil' bastard and keep him from going on the floor. And even though he really didn't want to, he pooped in the toilet. :) good kitty.

I had katchup on my tounge the other day... AND I COULD TASTE IT!

Welcome back taste buds, I've missed you!

While the buds have been MIA, I've been able to smell extra well. Like right now, I can smell fireplaces, even though I'm inside the shop.... freezing my ass off. I hope this new-found super-sense stays. It's nice to smell so strong.

Customer: "What's your favorite flavor?"
Me: "Right now I'm on the Chocolate Therapy"
Customer: "What was your favorite before that?"
Me: "Cake Batter"
Customer: "Is that any good?"

That's right fuckers, from now on when you say stupid things, I'm going to put it in my secret blog that only 5 people read!


ha! In yo' "face"! :P~

Not the best pic, but all the same I'm very proud of myself! I successfully made shapes and stuck them together in a way that hugs my ugly orange porch couch almost perfectly. *nod* I just need to finish off the bottom edge and it will "officially" be made. :)

We've entered what I like to think of as the "tolerable" season. It doesn't last long before turning into the brief, yet tourturous "fucking fuck I can't believe it's this fucking cold season".

( Goodbye beach weather, hello hiking weather! )

Spontaneous generation
The notion of spontaneous generation has had a long history, going back at least as far as Aristotle, and has often been regarded as self-evidently true. Thus, around 1620, the physician and early chemist Jan Baptista van Helmont published this recipe for making mice:

"for if you press a piece of underwear soiled with sweat together with some wheat in an open mouth jar, after about 21 days the odor changes and the ferment coming out of the underwear and penetrating through the husks of the wheat, changes the wheat into mice. But what is more remarkable is that mice of both sexes emerge (from the wheat) and these mice successfully reproduce with mice born naturally from parents? But what is even more remarkable is that the mice which came out were not small mice? but fully grown."

hahahhaha!

I've been trying very hard to read a book given to me by one of my regular customers who just happens to be a Jehova's Witness. It's hard not to be drawn in by the passion in his voice when he tells me that there is a creator, and the Bible has all the answers.

I said hard, not impossible.

So, being the open-minded person I am, I'm "trying", but gosh darn it's hard to read a book that says the same thing on every freakin' page. I feel like I've already read it 70 times over. All of a sudden I realized that I was on the internet and I coudl in fact google this particular book and see what others have to say about it. HA! Enter Wiki: http://wiki.cotch.net/index.php/Life--How_Did_It_Get_Here%3F It breaks down the lies complete with page numbers, now isn't that handy! My favorite is the one called "Darwin on evolution of the eye (p. 18)" It expands the text past the few quotes that are in the book, so you can understand the context in it's "original" format. I'm so sad for people who base their lives off this shit. I know it probably feels good to think that someone made you and loves you and watches over you (hug your mom if you have one!), but that doesn't mean that some "entity" made Earth, and then all the things on it. (He) spent all this time and effort, putting in unimaginable details, making everything work together just "so", and for what? According to my witness friend "for love", well, that doesn't wash with me. I'm not someone's science project and I'm not going to worship anything. Christianity is just as primitive as the religions it condems, and this whole "for love" thing has got my mind whirrling with thoughts of some cosmic battle and we're just some "love generating battery"... or at least we were supposed to be, but according to my friend Satan rules right now.

How can anything exist without something existing before it?



God?
