Dog cones, dinnerware, and Biz Markie

butterscotch dipped cone and dog cones
The other day the weather was warm enough to demand a trip to Dairy Queen.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they finally brought back butterscotch-dipped cones! I mean, it’s the simple things in life, you know?

Maggie inhaled her dog cone in about two seconds, and then…

Bear Cub and the dog cone
…stood on guard staring at Bear Cub while she daintily ate hers, like the little lady she is.

She eats all the ice cream out of the cone first before moving on. I never get tired of watching this display!

I even videotaped it this time:

Awwwwwwww.

colorful stacking mugs
We spent a good five minutes or so analyzing the pros and cons of purchasing these stacking mugs. Ultimately we turned them down–only because the ones on the far left, the perfect rainbow-colored cups–only come in the tiny espresso size, and we don’t drink espresso. Or rather, we do, but only as shots in our coffee, you know what I’m sayin‘? Too bad! One of these days when we have money/motivation I’d like to get us some new dinner plates from Cost Plus. They have pretty ones.

I’ve still never been in an Ikea store.

Impressed?

flower skirt with star button clasp
I don’t remember when I made this skirt–sometime in the last two years. I found it the other day digging around for pants in springtime colors. I like the star button I added at the top.

I should wear skirts more often. I used to, when I was fatter. Nobody likes tight pants!

sunny lounge
After years of heavily mocking them and proclaiming, dramatically, that I would NEVER have one…I finally have an iphone. It was free, hells bells! I’m excited because now at the gym I can listen to Pandora, which I usually have set to the Biz Markie station. I never get tired of early 90s hip hop!

You know the one:

Classic.

  1. I don’t know why I always resist new technology–what am I, a Luddite, or something?–but I remember I didn’t want to get my first cell phone either. Weirdo.

    At least I’ll be able to text message now without having to do the old school method of scrolling through all the numbers/letters one at a time, like I’ve been doing for ever (and people wonder why I hated text messaging?). Also I was having to pay 20 cents per text, which is ridic–I changed that, too.
