I traveled these dusty roads just to get to you...Mayfield Ice Cream?

I've been super excited over the past two days over the thought of going to a local orchard and eating their homemade ice cream (after visiting Calabash Creamery, I want to try every homemade ice cream shop there is). Well today, my wait was over. I slipped into my shoes, grabbed my bag and put on my ice-cream-here-I-come attitude! And when I got to the orchard, I found out.... they got rid of their homemade ice cream because of the cost and now only serve Mayfield. Mayfield!!?!?! No offense Mayfied, but I can get you at the grocery store. And at least Spill the Beans mixes things into you. But the day was saved, whew, by the roomie and 55 exchange! Yummy times 2

City watch...

Well the roomie and I could not have been more wrong. It turns out that BOTH of the neighbors are moving out! Man, I thought the story we made up was pretty good (and accurate...). Although, we're not convinced that the guy wasn't cheating... Anyway, the icing on the cake for today's spying was running into the neighbors at the post office. I wasn't actually able to go in, because I couldn't compose myself. I was way too giddy about seeing them fill out their change of address form and thinking about having watched them through my blinds. Ha. Oh well. Hope someone else moves in that provides this much entertainment. I also hope they have an animal with as funny of a name as sugar britches- the old neighbors' cat...

As a "reward" for trying to spy on my neighbors one last time last nite before bed, I peaked out of the windows and saw... a deer! In the front yard! I guess that's what I get for being nosy- my enemy in my own front yard!

Chocolate cake with peanut butter filling and home-made icing. YUMMY!!!

Neighborhood watch....

Well the dog in car neighbors are making another appearance on the blog! This time, because the girlfriend is moving out! When the roomie and I pulled in today, we saw a huge U-haul in their driveway. Throughout the day, we watched them load things (just the girl's things) into the truck and devised this story: She is moving out because she found out her boyfriend was cheating (this is based on previous sightings of a huge fight between the two and a suspicious car that's been noticed when the girlfriend is gone, and also because we like making up stories). Then tonite, we saw them looking around their yard with flashlights and figured they were looking for their cat. Well it turned out, their cat was lying in our yard! Ha! So the roomie went over and let them know. Eventually they were able to corner the cat (this is after chasing it all the way down the street) and get it back inside. We're not going to tell them that the only reason that we knew they were looking for their cat was because we've been spying on them from across the street. That would just be weird and nosy.... :-). I'll keep you posted!

Chocolate cupcake from Wal-mart. Overall, not too bad. The frosting was the best part.

Hodge podge

So with no main theme. I'll just give updates, and some randomness.

My squash from my gardening post are doing very very well. The tree seeds however, are not.

While I have several people who did pay for the things I listed on Ebay, 4 people did not! I guess that's part of being a business owner :-).

My black out curtains are working super well; it looks like midnight ALL the time in my room. ALL the time.

One woman's trash is another woman's ebay purchase

So I recently listed a bunch of my old perfumes on Ebay. And fortunately for me, most of them sold. What I don't understand though is how much they sold for. Like the perfume that I bought at Walmart for under $10 that ended up selling for $13.50, not including shipping and handling. $13.50 and it's sold at Walmart!!! Now it's got me asking everyone (mostly the roommate) for other things to sell. So yep, I'm taking donations cause I need to get my Ebay store off the ground!

What do you do when your friend bursts your bubble...

You do a blog post about them and call them a liar. Well, my "friend" informed me that Cheaters is fake. FAKE!!! As in, they script it and pay people to pretend that they are cheating or being cheated on. Well after doing some "research", I found various websites saying that some people were paid to act on Cheaters. But I refuse to believe that the whole show is a fake. You just have to watch it. And if it is fake (and it's not!), they do a darn good job. Anyway, back to this friend. I believe in elementary school she probably also told some kid that Santa Claus wasn't real or that the dollar s/he got from the tooth fairy really came from their parent's wallet.... Well, since I want to keep this friend, I'm going to have to forgive her.... for lying. Cheaters is real. You hear that!? REALLLLLLLL!

Unbe"weave"able

Today I enjoyed watching one of my favorite shows, Cheaters, and I finally realized why I like it so much. It's their play on words! Today, two women fought over a guy (as usual) and started pulling each other's hair. Well, both were wearing weaves and one of their weaves came off. :-). So as they were re-capping the story, they said.... We'll let you know how she weaved her life back together... HA!! Another example is the lady working in a cosmetic store, concerned that her boyfriend is "covering-up" his affair with another woman. Oh, they are so clever!
