It’s been crazy around here in Mavis Land this past week…
For starters…
I got a new job!
Well… I never really had an “old job”… but still… I’m pretty excited about it.
I’ve been to 2 track meets… All they do is run around in circles…
Buff the trouble making chicken has escaped 3 times in the last 24 hours…
I came home after running errands this morning and heard this on my answering machine:
“Hey Mavis… my husband was on his way to the gym and he noticed a chicken walking down the street… I wasn’t sure if it was your chicken… but I wanted to call and let you know… just in case.”
I was cracking up sooo hard… because c’mon… who else has chickens within a 10 miles radius of my house? It was hilarious… So now… poor Buff the chicken is in lock down…no corn… no rice… no juicy dinner leftovers for that chicken for awhile that’s for sure.
After I got Buff the chicken settled in her pen… I called my neighbor back… and thanked her… and as I was on the phone… the doorbell rang… and my other next door neighbor was on my porch… wanting to let me know the HE JUST LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW and saw a chicken in his backyard… and how he was thankful his dog was still inside because his dog likes chew toys… and he doesn’t want the Girl Who Thinks Shes A Birds chicken to get eaten… it was comical…
So in between chasing wayward chickens down the road… and track meets…
I’ve also been busy sewing coupon purses…
Dumpster diving for coupons…
And walking for 3 hours all over town with The Energizer Bunny…
But the most interesting part of the week was having to endure the “Man Store” with Monkey Boy and the Handsome Husband for like an hour…
It was torture… Mavis does not enjoy the smell of bug repellent, taxidermy or smelly unshaven men who have nothing better to do on a Sunday morning than to look at bait and tackle…So the Girl Who Thinks She’s A Bird and I just hung out in the tent section and tried to take a little siesta… which was all fine and dandy until some 6 year old little boy started poking us with a marshmallow roaster…
So….Yep…. That was my week…
