New Sale Items At Target!!

Posted on May 17, 2014 by LFFL

Ya know—as I browse the “Life” section of my blog, I realize I have a lot of craziness that goes on in my life. I guess that’s part of the beauty of life—you never know what you’re gonna get from one day to the next.

While out shopping at Target today in their lamp aisle, I had the utmost pleasure of running into their latest sale item—cockroaches! Oh, don’t worry guys—I didn’t buy them all. I mean, there were plenty to go around for everyone.

Is there anything else that can possibly put off my shopping experience?! It was all I could do to keep one from crawling up my leg, into my purse, and going home with me. Eww.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, no need to rush yourself getting dressed to get to Target for this sale. Take your time. This sale isn’t going to end anytime soon.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Always be prepared for unusual and crazy things to happen in your life. It wouldn’t hurt you to keep a can of bug spray on your key chain either.

No Bug In This One

Posted on November 22, 2013 by LFFL

I was dying for another waffle even after my awful experience with the waffle from my hometown diner I frequent. But this time I chose to go to the newly discovered diner in my hometown and try one of their waffles instead on this particular occasion.

I got my order to-go and, as you can see, when I got home I wasn’t about to eat this goodness without first checking the bottom of it in case any of Herman’s relatives recently passed away.

Obviously, I lucked out this time and there were no bugs on the backside. Hip hip, huzzah! Whew! I can’t tell you how scared I was lifting this bad boy up to check for bugs in the first place. Bugs should be the last thing on my mind when I’m at the ready to eat a waffle.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, enjoy a waffle from your local diner but inspect it well before picking up your fork.

Take-Away Life Lesson: It’s always good to make sure there’s not a bug burial site hidden in your waffles.

Well, I Lost My Appetite This Morning

Posted on August 11, 2013 by LFFL

Well, my day’s off to a fine start……….look at that delicious, delectable Belgium waffle I got at my hometown diner! I mean, I couldn’t ask for anything more—melted whipped butter and hot maple syrup all on a golden brown Belgium Waffle. Mmmmmmmm.

Well, NOT SO FAST! Apparently, AFTER I had already taken this waffle home (since I got it to-go), microwaved it, and eaten half of it—Herman, the waffle bug, made an appearance in my face and had apparently been cooked into it on the backside at the diner before it was even given to me!!

At this rate, I’m going to lose even more weight—which I can’t afford to do.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I do distinctly remember asking for a ‘side of BUG’ with my waffle. HOW DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN!!!!!! Gross! Yeah, just click on that picture there so you can get a much better shot of it IN YOUR FACE like I did—legs and all!!!

Thank GOODNESS, as I cut the next bite, I had turned the fork over because that sucker was headed right for my mouth. I initially thought it was a crispy burnt piece and was going to eat it anyway.

But something told me to do some further investigating. So I took my fork out of the waffle and proceeded to move the ‘black spot’ with my fork. Oh, my—EWWWWWW!!!

Upon further inspection, there were obvious legs protruding from a rock hard body that had been cooked to death. This was clearly a homicide. Now my waffle has become a murder scene.

WHY CAN’T I HAVE A SIMPLE MORNING EATING A WAFFLE IN PEACE?!!

So, if you have nothing else to do today, inspect every black spot you see in your food before eating it. Never assume it’s just pepper, a black bean, or a crispy burnt piece of the food. Better to assume it’s a crispy, burnt bug and save yourself!

Take-Away Life Lesson: Never assume there’s NOT a herd of dead bugs on the backside of your waffle just because the front of it is bugless.
