The Quest – 500 And no less.

As promised I planted the pumpkin patch today, Saturday the 16th.  Now I’m not messing with you I really did plant my two pumpkins today.  Now my today is not your today.  My today is your yesterday  . . .   Or is it your today is my tomorrow???  Any way I have three pumpkins now.  One by the Grouch’s fence, let’s call that one Oscar, and the two I planted today in the garden.  Bert and Ernie seem like good names unless M4 and M5 are to your liking LOL.

So here is the pumpkin patch.  Bert is the closest.

Here is Oscar.

Weren’t those pics great?  Oh you can’t see them?  Too bad.  Maybe if I knew how to upload pics I would.

HAHA!  My dad totally threw out an “lol” – I LIKE IT!!!  The M thing is because I have M1 (my BFF) M2 (my BFA) and M3 (North Sydney.)  Oh and btw – here are the pics he was talking about – I’ve uploaded them for him so you can appreciate his sesame street MONSTER PUMPKINS.

Words came out of my mouth tonight that surprised me.  I said WHAT?  Look the guy was being blah blah blah boring about how he can’t have a relationship and blah blah blah it’s so dumb I refuse to inflict you with the boringness.  And then suddenly I was like, “You can’t just keep waiting for a magic rainbow to appear above your bed that says ‘I’m ready for a relationship’ you just have to stop being dumb and decide to give it a try.”

[long pause to appreciate what was just said]

“You can’t just keep waiting for a magic rainbow to appear above your bed that says ‘I’m ready for a relationship’ you just have to stop being dumb and decide to give it a try.”

[another pause. I said WHAT?]

[shake head. grimace. nod. yep I said THAT.]

OH MY

Well well well – if the Queen of RELATIONSHIPS ARE SO DUMB herself could say THAT and not choke on her own words then the sky must be falling and we all better run for cover.  What does this mean?  How could I say that?  Well it means exactly what I alluded to awhile ago when I said I’m through being a player.  HAHA!  I bet you thought I didn’t really mean it!  Especially when I was being all bitter and stuff and was like “I’m going to catch-up with Captain Charisma!”  But then the so-so-so-so-fine-and-amazingly-hot Captain called and you know what?  I didn’t return the call.  Because why?  Well because for all of my bitter fluff – it was just that – fluff.  I REALLY did change.  DARN IT!

I can’t tell you exactly how it happened – or when.  But it prolly didn’t involve magic rainbows above my bed. ;)

(but I must admit the R word still scares me.  And I have a few little – umm – let’s just say that the R word is up ahead and I see it down a couple different paths and … well … I may not be a player anymore but I’m not sure I’m ready for an R word either.  But with it looming down multiple paths (to be read as it’s looming as an option with multiple people) … AGH!   We’ll see.  I guess I should stop being dumb and decide to give it a try!  But which path? and with whom?  aha! I see a Bloggy Soap Opera Epispode coming soon! hooray!)

This is something that I don’t say very often but I actually have to go to bed.  WHAAAT???  Yeah I do.  Crazy-ness.  So this post is going to be a bit of randomness FUN GREAT TIMES with some FAB LINKS and a little special dose of happiness and rainbows sent from my computer to yours.  yay!

First things first – remember the lamp that sprouted magical legs?  It left a BRUISE ON MY FACE!!!  Not cool.

And SWINE FLU – I think the following blog posts deserve a mention because they made me LOL – but they’re not for you mom because they have swear words in them – ones you wouldn’t like. oxox (that’s my mom’s and my secret “love you SO MUCH” code.)

Swine Flu by Elsja

Iced Tea, A Busy Mind and Not Being A Hypochondriac by Nicole A.

Ok and now I have to tell you a secret.  BECAUSE SECRETS ARE FUN!!!  One time I told this dude that although I love shopping – because I seriously do – I like to think “it’s not the meat and potatoes” of my life.  Yeah I said that.  I said shopping isn’t the meat and potatoes of my life. And then I wrote a blog about how I COULDN’T BELIEVE I SAID THAT.  (and I just re-read that blog and omgosh omgosh omgosh)  WHY OH WHY DID I BLOG ABOUT IT?  Now there’s PROOF.  Who says things like that?  No seriously [shake head in disbelief.]  And I’m mentioning this because I recently learned that my dad is now teaching gardening classes to his peeps in my old neighborhood and he grows potatoes and yeah – you see where I’m going with this?  No?  that’s ok.  :D

ANYWHO – my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.  Oh yes.  AND my dad is on a quest to grow a 500 lb pumpkin.  A FIVE HUNDRED POUND PUMPKIN!!!  Say whaaaat??  That’s about 227 kg.  Which is a LOT.  And I’m going to tell you a bit about it in doses.  But just one dose at a time.

Dose One of Daisy’s Dad’s 500lb Pumpkin Quest

My dad planted ONE HUNDRED pumpkin seeds.  Some of them were like 5-6 yrs old (don’t ask) others were from a pumpkin he grew two years ago that was GINORMOUS (180 lbs) and the rest?  He says they’re “Dill’s Atlantis Giant.”  Way to go Dill – your seeds sound dirty – you sick-o.

OK so my dad planted the seeds on the 23rd of April and by the 24th – ONE DAY LATER – he wrote this (btw he’s journaling this just for ME and my amusement. :) )

I hate waiting.  I’ve peeled back the plastic wrap twice today, hoping to see ANYthing.  I saw nothing.

HAHAHA!  It’d only been ONE DAY!  That’s freaking hilarious.  Seriously it is.  AAAANNNNDDD the NEXT DAY on the 25th of April he wrote this:

I hate waiting.  I’ve peeled back the plastic wrap FOUR times today, hoping to see ANYthing.

Right-ee-o – so my dad’s getting a bit obsessive and it’s only day 3.  Then he wrote this:

I even started lightly digging in the dirt looking for any signs of life.  I saw nothing.

Oh no he didn’t.  Did he?  I don’t know.  But that’s what he wrote.  HAHAHAHAHA!   AAAANNNNNDDDD with that we’ll stop there.  I don’t need you thinking my dad’s crazy quite yet.  PLUS that’s a pretty big dose for today.  It’s been three days and he’s already obsessed.   HAHA just teasing Dad.  kind of.  ;)

OHMYGOSH – What am I listening to this evening?  Some tight flow! ;) But I put it after the break because most of you probably don’t share my refined taste in music.  hee hee.  Oh and I don’t usually like mash-ups but the one at the bottom is SO SWEET.  Good night!! xoxo~Daisy

The lamp that sprouted magical legs – BAD lamp!!

Once upon a time, far far over the rainbow, in the land of Oz there was a MAGENTA reading lamp (ya know – the color is like SO important) from IKEA (that’s part is like SO important too) sitting on the ever-so-sturdy and wide headboard of a bed (that is currently sporting white flannel sheets that have cute pink and magenta cherry blossoms on them.  Ah – precious!)

Well one night when the owner of said bed was tossing and turning because she couldn’t sleep, it came alive.  Oh yes.  ALIVE.  You see, normal, non-alive lamps don’t move.  But ALIVE lamps sprout magical legs and terrible senses of humor.  (No really you should hear the jokes they tell – not funny!)

At about 4:45am when all was quiet in the world and the bats and birds outside the lamp’s window hadn’t started SQUAWKING OUT OF CONTROL YET the lamp thought it would be funny to play a prank on the owner of the bed.  And yes I said bats.  They sound like cats fighting to the death – oh the joy.

Anywho – The lamp loved JUMPING into the flannel sheets because they’re PRETTY and the cherry blossoms really accentuate the magenta craptastic plastic – but because the owner was scared someone would notice her magical lamp had legs and take it away and dissect it like they did the ginormous squid in Wellington, NZ at the Te Papas Museum (poor ginormous squid)  –  the lamp agreed it would ONLY nose dive onto the bed when the owner of said bed was her ungraceful self and bumped the bed thereby making it APPEAR as if it were the owner’s fault the lamp “fell.”  Though YOU AND I know it didn’t fall, it JUMPED.  :)

Ok so that was a the-longest-sentence-EVAH and now let’s get back on track.  4:45am – quiet.  Owner of bed is sleeping.

Oopsie! The lamp – who WILL be donated for scientific research and subsequent dissection if it ever pulls this prank again – JUMPED from its resting place and LANDED ON MY FACE.  I mean – oops – the OWNER OF SAID BED’S FACE.  Not head – FACE.  Eyebrow bone to be exact. So not funny at 4:45am.

OH and then I went to school and I looked like death and the teacher said, “How are you feeling?” and I told her the truth which was that I’m SICK because I have a cold and can barely eat because my stomach feels like it does about an hour or so after you’ve discovered you’ve had bad sushi and all you want to do is vomit so you’ll feel better – OMGOSH TMI – (ok I ACTUALLY just told her I’m sick) and she asked if I’ve been to Mexico recently – and I assured her I do not have the swine flu but she said it would be better for everyone if I went home anyway.  So I did.
