I mentioned yesterday that I've been really sick for the past week, and I had to miss a lot of work. There's a lot of regular customers, people who I've gotten to know very well, and there's one lady in particular who is just awesome. Her name is Maic, and she's a little old lady with a very heavy french accent, she's in her late 70's and she moves and talks at 100 miles an hour. She just learned how to make jewelry this year, and she's extremely enthusastic about it, but in a cute way. She always likes me to help her with her stuff, and exclaims to all my ideas,"OH TREEESH!! You are Zo Wonderfulllll!!". I even went to her house a couple of times to teach ehr some jewelry stuff, which I wouldn't do for any other customer. I totally love her.
Anyway, today was my first day back at work, and when I got there this morning, I found a little package lying on the counter.
And guess what was inside?? THIS!!!!----->
Sure it's two sizes too small, and I have to use my hands to hold it on my head, but isn't that the sweetest thing for her to do?! I know it's cheesy but I was so touched by it. It's like I have my own sweet little french grandma. I called her today to thank her, and she told me she'll be in tomorrow, and "Treeesh, you better be wearing zeee hat when I get zere!!! You must keep zee head warm. Ozzerwise you get seeecker!". It's pretty cool of her to care about me like that. Although now I gotta wear it, but still.....
Thank you, Maic. You are one of the most interesting and funny people I know.
You know, I think I should post some pictures of what's been happening in the past month. It's been a while since I posted a ton of pictures. Here goes!
Here's my sister, kind of drunk at her wedding reception, with a strip of bacon on her arm! Sweet!
My Diddy-daddums was here for the wedding, and we celebrated his birthday while he was here. I made him a big batch of birthday cupcakes!!!! MMMM!
Here we all are partying at Kristen and Ezzy's hotel room. There was a lot of drink involved here, but the night had to quiet down thanks to someone banging on the floor from below us. Ezzy said it was a super tall guy from Kenya, who was just lifting himself up on tippy-toes and knocking on the cieling with the top of his head. I think he was right!
I cooked my first turkey this thanksgiving! It's tradition for my family to take a picture of the holiday meal, but I forgot until after I had cut into that bitch. But here's my best attempt at my grandmother's "Well, here it is, the labor of my love. Now just go ahead and wolf it down and forget that I spent all day in the kitchen slaving away for this, but Happy Thanksgiving anyway" face.
And lastly, here's Piggy, playing Orange Juice Peekaboo on thanksgiving morning. He really looked amazed that I was on both sides of the carton!! Wow!!
Okay, that's it for now. Have a great night everybody, and just remember, even though you may not believe it, you probably mean a lot to someone that you don't even realize. Try not to be so much of a whore all the time.
Best of luck with that!

Aww, what a sweet gesture! Yay for little old French ladies! And if it's too small, perhaps Fizz can where it! Glad to hear that you are finally feeling better! Strep throat is some nasty shite.
Hey, great Granny face! In a way though, you are too smiley-- she sometimes posed with a ham, roast beef, etc., with a certain solemn air. As in, "This ham is nothing to laugh about. This is one FUCKING FANTASTIC HAM I just made. Appreciate it, or I will not be pleased. Grrr."
That is the sweetest story!! That must have made you feel so good. That is the BEST thing about my job. You come in feeling crappy for whatever reason, and then a 7-year-old hands you an apple and a note telling you that you're perfect and have shiny hair. How can you still feel bad after that!
Your pic of Fizzy is WAY cute. You always get the best pictures of your kitties. Speaking of, did you check out the kitten eating yogurt on Cute Overload? GAH! It's the cutest thing EVER!
