Are you in the Rug Business?

The other day I was headed to class. I was feeling lazy so I decided to take the elevator. I bumped into my professor in there and we walked to class together. The following conversation transpired...

Professor: " I like your shoes and your sweater."

Me: "Thanks"

Professor: "They remind me of rugs."

Me: "Uhh... thank you?"

Professor: "Ya I am in the rug business. I get rugs from Mexico."

Me: "Oh, wow that's nice."

Professor: "Your shoes look like ???" (I can't remember the name of the print he said) "Do you know if they are that rug print?"

Me: "I'm not sure... I got them from a surfing company."

I am still not sure what to think about all of that. Anyway when I got home that day Justin asked what I was wearing and told me I had on a weird outfit. I had lost my slippers and my leggings but still had on the shirt and sweater. He claimed that he just thought it was weird that I didn't have on pants, but I don't buy that since I pretty much never have on pants at home unless they are basketball shorts.

*edit- I arrived home before Justin did, that is why I did not have on pants. 

Big Butted Problems

Justin: My butt is too big

Me: ya right!

Justin: No really, I had to suck my butt in to squeeze into these jeans

(I turned around to check out the pants)

Me: uhh did you know you have a huge hole in the ass of those pants?

Justin: ooohhh... That's why they were on the ground then.

Big Butt Problemz.

I wrote this a couple of days ago but I feel like I should share our dinner menu with you from this evening before I post it. Today I had an oral presentation and did pretty darn well if I do say so myself. In order to celebrate Justin offered me whatever I wanted for dinner. This of course is dangerous. We went to Whole Foods and I got a salad and avoided cake which was hard. Next we went to Boise Fry Company and got three large containers of fries. Justin ate at least half if not more than half of the fries. Then he got a double stacker from Burger King and 20 chicken nuggets. He admitted that he may or may not have ordered too much food but he ate it all!

I hope it all goes to his butt so it can get more booty-licious... Except he already is pretty darn booty-licious ... Hmmm

Also I found that cat I trapped in the sticky traps the other night. It was quite bald looking. It gave me the evil eyes but did not run away. I think it was trying to show me what I did to it. Possibly trying to plot revenge. Sheesh, Cats. Anyway, I didn't have time to try to pet it since I was on my way to the presentation. 

Cat Traps

There is this cat who is black that is in our apartment complex. You may remember it. I was plotting to steal it at one point until Justin realized that it could be our neighbor's cat. Anyway for the last few months I have petted it every time I see it outside and it LOVES me.

This morning I saw it out by the pool at about 8/9 in the morning. It stared at me from outside as Justin moved a couple of boxes out while leaving the door slightly ajar. I could tell it really wanted me to pet it. It was like it was foreshadowing...

Fast forward to this evening. I arrived home from volunteering after dark. I noticed the cat waiting for me by where I park (about 300?? feet from my front door). I reached down and gave it some pets then went on my merry way. Little did I know I was being stalked. I opened the front door and paused for a moment to get the key out of the door handle. All of the sudden I heard this huge ruckus and meow as my spider trap sticky paper which lines the threshold of our apartment went about three feet in the air and attached to it was the damn cat!

It took off like a rocket. It ran clear across the complex, towards the direction which we had just come, at top speed making a terrible noise in its wake. I stared, which was all I could do. I listened as the apartment complex dogs barked as the strange cat covered in sticky traps made a scene. I shut the door momentarily and peered out the through a crack in the blinds in search of any witnesses. Anyone/everyone that saw that definitely thinks I am a cat thief, and that I stop at nothing to steal cats.
*sigh

Once I realized the coast was clear of people I went for a walk in search of my victim and discovered the sticky traps stuck together with the most gigantic clump of cat hair I have ever seen sandwiched between them. It was sitting right next to someone's big ass potted plant next to their front door. I thought about picking it up but #1 there were once dead spiders on the trap and #2 I did not want to risk getting caught with the evidence.

Alas, no cat has been found as of yet. In fact I would not be surprised if that is the last time I ever see that poor kitty. It will no longer love me but fear me... now I know what Voldemort feels like. No wonder he is so sad. 

We Need Some Rainy Days

Have you ever seen "My Neighbor Totoro,"? That movie is amazing. Today I saw this...

If only I had one of those costumes, I would literally stand outside bus stops all day long on rainy days. And perhaps even stalk anyone I saw sitting with an umbrella. I feel like perhaps since the weather has been so.. unnaturally warm for this time of year that I am truly missing chilly temperatures and rainstorms.

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of seeing the movie I highly recommend it. You may recognize Totoro from his cameo in Toy Story 3 however.

That is all I have for today since I had to endure my back to back Saturday classes, and then I actually got a flu shot for the first time since the hospital I volunteer at mandates that now. Hopefully my immune system is indestructible now.

Los Stomach Problemos

Justin likes to go to Los Betos and get fries slathered in taco meat, cheese and who knows what else. Usually the consequences of eating this meal far outweigh the benefit but Justin doesn't see it that way. 

So tonight when I wasn't feeling particularly well Justin jumped at the opportunity to get Los Betos despite the five-ten times over the course of our relationship where I've heard "never let me eat Los Betos again." *sigh he was getting ready to tuck me in and the storm is already a brewing. So now we wait until it passes. 

In other news I learned a new word for my word arsenal: cupache. What does it mean you ask? An intense craving for a cupcake. I know not where this word came from or when It was coined but it is my new favorite word. Naturally here I would have inserted a photo of a decadent cupcake however my Internet is running terribly slow on my iPhone. So alas, I fear you will have to let your imagination run away with you as you mentally conjure an image worthy of getting a cupache over. <|:-{D      <- look it is Dumbledore. 

Gimli Wants My Money

Apparently Boise is having its first ever comic-con. I know this from the incessant radio bits which are on every time I get in the car. The ads discuss the fact that Jim Cummings (Winnie the Pooh voice talent) is going to be here. And I pretty much want to exit the car and play in traffic every time that horrible advertisement plays. 

Justin came home today and informed me that Gimli would be attending the comic con also. 

I decided to do some research and was saddened to find that Gimli wants loads of cash to see me. WTF Gimli I thought you learned that gold isn't everything on that epic journey you had in Middle Earth!  I have never been much of the I'm going to stalk you, give me your autograph, omg it is a celebrity type person anyway. I mean if Dumbledore and Gandalf knocked on my door in full costume then yes I would probably cry tears of joy but the likelihood of this happening is unfortunately very slim because I'm never home to answer the door, and when I am home I usually think crazy people are the ones knocking even though it's mostly UPS. So comic con Boise will have to get on without me. Sad but true. 

The Hidden Brown in Hash Tags

My life has been momentarily consumed with JK Rowling and her cryptic tweet ("Cry, Foe! Run amok! Fa awry! My wand won't tolerate this nonsense"). I even got me a tweeter account to play along with the guessing game. Don't worry I will be cancelling it when this has blown over because after all I am much too long winded for Twitter. Also hash tags always make me want hash browns and all I would ever be tweeting would be "hast...browns again for dinner!" Back on topic- I learned bright and early this morning that my guess from last night for the cryptic tweet, with taking the Mad Gab approach, was seriously flawed. It appears as though her sentences were an anagram. So now I have come up with this:

Newt Scamander wrote his neat tale on New York for you my fans

Obviously this is probably wrong too since I doubt that JK Rowling would use the word neat.  I must say my original guess was way more open ended and fun but hey, a girl can dream right. I haven't forgotten that Rowling once stated she was done with the Harry Potter world forever. But hope has been glittering endlessly since this whole "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" situation.

Anyway last night Justin and I watched "Lord of the Rings," go figure.

Also I am happy to report that Justin and I celebrated a 23 month anniversary of dating. Yes we do still celebrate the months because despite what you may think we are both 14 year old school girls who get giddy and excited about these kind of things. Since the number 23 is significant in the basketball world which Justin adores I got him a miniature Michael Jordan figurine and baseball cards from the 1990s. Also the Space Jam movie. If we ever celebrate a 23 year anniversary perhaps I can take Justin to meet the man in the flesh. This of course is highly unlikely since he will be in his 80s at that time (Jordan not Justin), however I am quite sure that happening is even less likely than Rowling writing another Harry Potter'ed plot book. I am going to go find me something to quell this mad craving for hash browns that has come out of no where. 

Here in Boise it has been in the 80s as of late but here is a photo of somewhere where it is fall. I simply had to leave this post with a photo. Photo Credit: Imgur
