When I worked in the video rental mines people would actually fight over who got the stand up displays. Harry Potter was the one that caused the most disruption.

Message from monthly sales propaganda; Be a hero.
I'm pretty sure that's going to conflict with the active shooter training.

Lots of bikes being sold, people are starting to realize summer won't last forever.
Also, fidget spinners are so last month.
But, toy cons are soon, so we'll get flooded with all new shit the toy companies are throwing at the wall to see what sticks.
As a toy enthusiast it's a wonderful time of year. :-)
I worked at a video store, for a day.
I decided 7.50 an hour wasn't worth having to wear a bowtie and red shirt.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
We could wear what we wanted, thank goodness, but they treated all the workers like s&^%. I eventually walked out in the middle of the day, leaving the store unstaffed. I went to another store, told the regional manager I quit, and never looked back.

A half hour until closing, which means the stoned teenagers should hit any time now.

New game; Squawk, The Eggsplosive Chicken Game.
Well, i've come to realize something this week.
Starfinder might not be as hyped up as I thought it was.
I've asked 6 different gamers I know and every single one of them hadn't heard of Starfinder at all.
Granted, they were all of the D&D For Life crowd.
And they know about it now. :-)

Also found, Mike and Ike's, individually wrapped in white duct tape.
The stuff is packed so thick under the bunk beds the dog can hardly burrow underneath.
Looks like it's back into the oven this week, which means we get to go to the pool.
And maybe make some pies.

mmmm...PIE!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yup, I love baking pies.
Most likely Buttermilk Chess Pie but might make a couple of yogurt pies when the temp spikes this week.
But first I need to find a recipe or call my brother because I don't remember the ratios of yogurt to cool whip to whatever else is in them. :-)

"What is a Kidpocalypse?" Tiny T-Rex asked, "well" I started "it's when the kids rise up, overthrow the adults..." "And rule the world!" Pea Bear finishes for me, "true" I say "but of course they're kids, so they'll do it wrong, so that's why it's called a Kidpocalypse".

I got both the kids their own notebook for 1.77 total while I was at the store this morning picking up milk, coffee creamer (International Delights is my kryptonite) and fresh strawberries.
Best. Idea. Ever!!!
Both kids have been writing or drawing their stories/comic book all day (when we weren't brushing the dog or going to the splash park).

In her defense, most adults don't know what to do with the world either.

Turns out Tuesday is a busy day for ambulances going to get people from the digestive health clinic across the field.
And there was a big accident on University a couple blocks away and then the fire trucks and an ambulance went down to the end of the street (it's a dead end) for some reason.
Maybe we should reconsider going to the pool today...
Pool was lots o fun. :-)
Anyone have any obnoxiously catchy songs I can hum at work.
They've really upped the annoying catchiness of the music at work.
Why hum at work you ask, it makes the time pass quicker.

A moment of parental pride.
Trying to tease Pea Bear I asked her if she wanted a mug saying "I got Bieber Fever" she just looked confused and asked "what's a Bieber?"

Probably best not sing that bit out loud, though.

Pea Bear found a website that sells mermaid tails.
For less than 600 bucks we could become a Merfamily.

"The egg was poached exactly correctly" - Some lady eating on Masterchef.
Remember kids! Just because you have money doesn't mean you can be redundantly redundant.
They're now pooling their resources and doing chores.
It would appear they're quite serious.

We're expecting about 6 inches (of rain) tonight.
Sure am glad I live at the top of a very small hill, and don't have a basement.
Need a loaner kayak for the weekend Cap?
