I just introduced myself to our new neighbors. This is a big deal, mostly because I am not friendly. However, they have access to the backyard, so when I walked outside and saw them moving in, I knew I had to turn on the charm if I want to be invited to a barbecue this summer. Which, by the way, I do. I love hot dogs.
So I was all like, “Oh, can I carry your bike for you?” and “Let me help you with that” and “My boyfriend will be happy to tell you how to set up the Internet.” (Chris – we’ll talk about this later.)
Also, I was wearing blue sweat pants and a hot pink tank top that says “BACHELORETTE” in silver bedazzles, so I’m pretty sure I made a good impression, anyway.
I would have offered them some of my lunch, too, but I thought that might be over the top. You like how I transitioned there, to the hummus, feta and vegetable sandwich I had for lunch?
A bunch of the insides fell out, so I had to eat them on the side with some balsamic vinegar:
And then later, I started eating these guys:
So then I just made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as a snack:
Can you call a sandwich a snack? I don’t know, but I did. I learned something about myself today. Whenever I don’t have egg whites for breakfast (usually I have toad in a hole, or whatever you want to call it, and two Morningstar sausages) I am starving all day. So now I have to eat this same breakfast every day for the rest of my life. I’m a little upset.
I’m sure you did make a great first impression, no worries! Hope your new neighbors turn out to be pleasant.
You can definitely call a sandwich a snack – why not? :0)
me setting up their internet??? They are gonna hate us for sure.
Hilarious post!!!
Hey I am a proud West Virginian =) haha Where in WV are you from? I sadly always get excited when I see other people from here.
Bedazzled Bachelorette tank? HOTT! I have no idea what a toad in the hole is – explain.
I think a toad-in-a-hole is the same as an egg-in-a-whole, which is what I used to eat all the time as a kid. The best part is the bread from the whole, which is used to dip in the egg yolk. Yummm. The idea of a toad in my breakfast would totally creep me out…Frogs/toads scare the shit out of me.
Haha, love the pants
I am the same way w/ oats… if i don’t have them, I’m starving and out of my element all day ~ we’re doomed!
Nice transitions there Miss Slick
And as ushe, this post cracked me up beyond belief. I love your blog its crazy I so look forward to it!!
Bedazzles=friendship in my opinion.
we call ours “bulls eyes”.. only the egg starts from the middle and we top em with cheese. They go a little something more like this -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/64055115@N00/2167529606/
sounds like you had a good trip.. i’m feelin the puppy picture on the floor
hey.. i want some new neighbors.. and a bbq. send them my way
very serious question.
what kind of dog is jack?
i want to snatch him up.
you’re so funny! workin’ your way towards a future bbq.
I would say that a sandwich is considered a snack. For me, my meals aren’t really set. I normally label for ease, but most of the time I snack a lot too. sometimes I call what others call meals a snack. I think It’s whatever works for you.
hahahha a sparkly bachelorette shirt… classic. i love that you just wear that on a normal day.
if they don’t like your bedazzles then they’re not friendworthy…
Veggie –
Thanks, I think sandwiches are snacks, too.
Chris –
You can do it! I have faith!
Kath –
Thanks. Outdoor grill space is at a premium here.
Amber –
I’m from Jefferson County, which is like the part that sticks out between Maryland and Virginia. Where are you from??
Meg –
Bedazzling is the shit. Toad in a hole is like where you take a piece of bread, tear a hole in it, and then crack an egg inside. Except I use egg whites because the yolks look too much like chicks to me and I can’t take it.
Hannah -
Sorry, hope I didn’t ruin the yolk for you. I think toads are cute, kind of. Except when you pick them up they always, always, pee on you. Not cute.
Not in my house it’s not
Lindz –
We really are.
Julz –
Thanks!!
Katers –
Very true. Maybe I should bedazzle a shirt for her as like a “welcome to the neighborhood” present. You know, instead of a pie.
Run –
I’ve heard that before. Cheese would be good. Stop tempting me.
ebee –
He’s a lab/pit mix. So they say. You can’t steal him, he’s my buddy.
Leng –
I do that, too.
Anne –
I was just walking the dog and I didn’t expect them to be there. But it is my favorite gym shirt. Totally classy.
I wouldn’t wear it like out, out. Let’s get that straight.
Rachel –
Totally agree.
