1.) My 61 year-old Mother Learns the Wii
Yes, at my niece's 7th (I think) birthday party, my mother was invited by her grandchildren to play tennis on the Wii. Always eager to please the kiddies, my mother accepted. If you have never witnessed the hilarity of a computer-bashing baby-boomer, swatting around a Wii controller, you don't know funny. The best part was watching her try to serve, "I don't...what? I AM holding down the button!" Meanwhile, my other niece is screaming, "It's up and over Grandma!! No! UP AND OVER!"
I guess you had to be there.
2.) Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappucino
Mmm, I just had the pleasure of enjoying a mouth-wateringly delicious, Starbucks Grande Pumpkin Spice Frappucino Light. (Eff the writer's strike, hire me! I even MAKE UP words!) Ahh...Pumpkin Spice time at Starbucks is truly a reason to celebrate the season. However, I think I might have surprised them at the counter this afternoon. For one, the place was packed with people swathed in scarves, huddling over their steaming lattes and green teas, the sound of hot beverages percolating behind the counter. I requested my frapp and the gal who makes the drinks kind of winced at my order. Or maybe she just had a twitch. Either way, yes, I ordered a frozen drink, and it is supposed to SNOW today. What can I say, I'm dangerous. I like a cold beverage, anytime of the year. Do you know what I call those naysayers who switch to hot beverages when the weather turns cold? WEAK.
3.) This Picture I Just Drew:
Yes, that picture is obvious time well-spent. Good job, me.
I think anything I might have added after that picture just wouldn't contend. Some might think those three topics being labeled "The Best" of my last 2 weeks is a sad thing. Me, I think its pretty darn fabulous. So that's all, I'm out.
Keep it cool,
Mony Pony
