Grumpy Chocolate

Thursday February 21, 2013

I had a very attached Kiwi today. Seems that somebody doesn't like getting spiffy nail jobs ... and it wasn't me that got the manicure either. Seems he knows what that carry cage is all about too...

Spent a few hours getting a project ready for Cubs tonight about endangered species. I asked the group if they knew any endangered species. Apparently Godzilla is one.

Tonight we continued the astronomy theme. Last week we had the Stargazers visit... but it was too cloudy so we had a slide show, along with the use of a really cool  iPad app that lets you see the stars.. even on the other side of the world. The guest also spoke of  planets, stars, galaxies, comets ....and meteors... and the next day there was that Russian meteor in the news... now how is that for timing?

So tonight we covered phases of the moon...My co-leader comes up with the best ideas.

Yup... I bet you always thought that the moon was made of cheese? I almost convinced the Godzilla fan that  the cookies were really made of cheese... he looked so disappointed.

So I suggested we should vote on what to do with the cookies after they made moons.. the cookie moons that is...

1. We follow the 3R's of CubScout Recycling badge- package up all the cookies and use them again next year with the new Cubs. They would be perfectly stale by then. Except for the Godzilla licked one... might be some mold on that...

2. My son should give me all his cookies.

3. Shellac them and they could take them home as souvenirs to show their parents what awesome leaders they have.

4. Eat them... (so they can bounce off the walls when they got home... hehehe.)

Well it was a close tie between #2 & #4. I suggested they didn't need to eat them all in one sitting. Yeah, like they'd listen to me. They know me too well maybe....

Wonder if I'll get any grumpy 1am phone calls from parents... but he won't go to bed!!!!


Speaking of chocolate... I think I trained my husband rather well...ok sort of well.

He asked me if I hadn't had enough chocolate ... I seemed kind of grumpy

OK. 

Let me paint the scene for you.

He just had to interrupt my soak in the tub

with the Chatimals Beaver

(yeah... the one that was supposed to be MY birthday present)

I am soooooo replacing this gift with more cross stitch... 

(oh yeah, making the birthday laaaaaast....)

  

He left the chocolate melter on the counter unattended 

next to some yummy bananas 

(not that I need any ideas when it comes to chocolate ... )

and he thought I was grumpy... 

Did I mention that he interrupted my quiet soak???

The soak I thought I would take after one young chatimal son was in bed?????

...grumpy...

Next time I lock the bathroom door BEFORE I get in the tub.

back to the bathing chocolate grump

         so I asked him ....  "Define enough"

                          his reply.............          "Just a little more"  

     ahhh, perfect answer :)      See, I almost got him perfectly trained...

Would you and the Chatimal like to be alone? ....because I know I would.... and not like this either...



How's that for sunblock....
(sorry don't know who to attribute the photo to.....nope it's really not me... I was in the tub)

Well, the thought of the day....who needs groceries... fasting can be so beneficial... and there is still some chocolate in the house... somewhere.

I am in deep trouble... 

Sweetheart Tree has come out with NINE new cross stitch releases... 

I better catch the last train out of the city.... 

That or plunk down my birthday money....

decisions decisions....

but that's another story....

well, whilst soaking, I'm realized I'm almost somewhat soon done a theme-along challenge I found on the WWFC blog  ... but that's another story :)
