Dose UNO of Daisy’s Dad’s 500lb Pumpkin Quest and lots of cool song links

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.)

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
