SHOP STORIES

So today a co-worker mentioned doughnuts sound good today and another one said a burger, so we all QUICKLY agreed on doughnuts beings it was only 9 am. Come to think of it,  the doughnut fairy hadn't been around since..... last Friday.  There are a couple of us that are the "doughnut fairies", I being one and Don. Today's doughnut fairy was Charlene. I put my order in and told her, "get lots of filled ones." After the arrival I hurried to pick mine out. Filled long john with nuts on top. This is fitting as I have a nut of a client later today. I seriously was thinking of having a few shots of anything with alcohol before the appointment. Wait, the wine guy is coming at 5 so I'll just wait till then. I'm thinking it will take more than a dixie cup tonight. That's all we have to drink wine out of at the shop. Back to the doughnut story. So we all eat our doughnuts and share with all our clients. Well 4 pm rolls around and co-hort Mel is caught eating yet her second doughnut of the day. She goes down to mix some color and returns laughing. She felt something in her bra and went to investigate. Low and behold, it was some of her doughnut. As the whole shop roars in laughter cause this is such a Mel story...Molly tells her "You just thought your boobs were getting bigger!" NOT! 

SOME GAVE ALL

MEMORIAL DAY

What does Memorial Day stand for? A day off? The start of summer? Parades and picnics? You can finally start wearing white shoes again? Although most Americans don't know much about the purpose or history of this day. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5th 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic and was first observed on May 30th 1868. Flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war). It is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May, though several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead: January 19 in Texas; April 26 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; May 19 in South Carolina; and June 3 in Louisiana and Tennessee. Now that I've filled you in on some facts about Memorial Day....... God Bless all our fallen heros!

THE CONE MYSTERY

This stuff only happens at my house I'm damn sure of it. Yesterday around noon I called Ken about a question and he asked me WHY the dog was wearing the cone on her head. WHAT?! Ken leaves the house first in the morning followed by Skyler and then myself, and I didn't put it on her. HUH it's a mystery. I told him to go upstairs by the bed and see if the glass of water was still on his side of the night stand. He told me it was empty, but I knew all to well that it wasn't when I made the bed that morning. Mystery solved! Sure as crap.... the tubby nubby was in the cubby hole behind our bed. For what reason? The dog only knows. What's so funny is she stuck her head in the cone, was able to get out of the cubby hole, (this had to be funny as hell) and that she was stuck in it all morning. Damn dog! So Ken heads to bed later that evening and says, "The floors a little wet right here. Wait it's really wet over here." See the glass was full of water I told him. The sad thing is..... I can't quit laughing about it! Well at least she didn't eat dinner again.

This is the space between the night stand and the bed. Not alot of room for her to get out or in for that matter.
