PIGEONS (I think I spelled that correctly…)

I have something very odd to talk about. It relates to the title of this blog post. I know, I know. I’m weird. Tell me something I don’t know. Anyway, my friend showed me this fabulous video. It is SUPER random but still entirely fabulous. By the end of the video, you will be humming the tune and singing the song. How ya like me now!

In other news, today is also National Dad Joke Day! To celebrate, I have prepared a few dad jokes that are sure to make you cringe.

What is red and smells like blue paint?
Red Paint.

I used to be addicted to the Hokey Pokey!
Then I turned myself around.

I invented a new word today!
Plagiarism.

And here is a Mom Joke, because Moms are equally as funny as Dads.

Q: Why did the baby strawberry cry?
A: Because it’s Mom was in a jam!

In other news, Happy Spring Break! My agenda is:

Watch TV, play Animal Crossing New Horizons, horse around with Doc, and do absolutely nothing productive.

Spring Break will include Easter this year! We are probably going to have a simple brunch, Easter egg hunt, eat candy until we get sick (that one is mostly Hazel’s job), and watch tv.

Now it’s time for…

That Random SNL Skit That I Want To Show You Guys!

I know, I know, don’t all go crazy at once. If you’ve seen Downton Abbey (I’m looking at you, Mom) then good for you! If you haven’t seen it, I think you should watch the trailer. In my opinion, Downton Abbey Season 1 has a pretty bad trailer. I found a MUCH better trailer for you…

In other news, Happy Almost Easter! I PROMISE to write about all of the cuteness (and sugar rushes) that Doc will have on Easter! He is so excited for it! I love all of the great Easter-themed crafts that you can do with toddlers… Egg Carton Chicks, Pop-Up Bunnies, Drawing on Grace’s wall, and of course, THE OVERSIZED LIST OF HANDPRINT AND FOOTPRINT EASTER CRAFTS.

In more other news, it’s time for… Actor Of The Week!

Heidi Gardner

She is most famous for SNL but she has been in other films including Life of The Party, Otherhood, and SuperMansion. These are all of the other things she’s been in (click this link).

Heidi Gardner is super interesting. Before becoming an SNL star she was a hairdresser. You can find out more about that here.

In more other OTHER news, the final thing on my list to write about is Bubble Tea. one of my FAVORITE Bubble Tea places is Fat Straw. If you don’t know what bubble tea is, it is a tea-based drink (go figure) that started in Taichung, Taiwan in the early 1980s. It can also be a blended version that is first frozen, resulting in a slushy-like drink. The “bubble” part is referring to Tapioca Pearls, also known as Boba, that are mixed into the drink. Sometimes there are popping bubbles, instead. The popping bubbles, unlike boba, pop when you bite down on them. Whereas boba is soft and chewy.

Left: Popping Bubbles Right: Boba

I know that they both look gross but they are seriously good!

This is the link to Fat Straw!

These are some of the order example photos:

My previous favorite flavor of the slushy bubble tea drink was Watermelon with Strawberry Popping Bubbles. I stopped liking the popping bubbles a while ago, so now my favorite boba drink is Taro with Tapioca Pearls (which is the purple drink in the photo above).

I hope you liked this post!

Scream If You Love Refrigerators!

Please don’t actually scream. Thanks. Anyway, we got a new refrigerator and are very happy about it. (I never thought I would actually create a sentence starting with very happy with and ending with refrigerators!) I only wrote about this because I had a dream where I was writing a blog post and I mentioned that we got a new fridge and I had a pretty funny anecdote about refrigerators. Unfortunately, I don’t remember my dream, so the amazing one liner about fridges is gone. At least I tried.

Let’s see… What’s new in my life…Oh! I started riding the Peleton! I have only done it twice so far, but it is a really great way to exercise and still be in a close enough distance to Doc that if he wants to play Captain Hook Pirates, you can politely decline and hear him have a tantrum to end all tantrums! Aren’t 3-year-olds the best!? If you aren’t sure about the Peloton but want to give it a go, and are having some motivation issues, watch this video. Your problems are sure to clear up!

In other news…WandaVision is AMAZING! I am only on episode 6 because Dad, Hazel, and I are the only ones that really like Marvel stuff, but it is SUCH a good show. If you haven’t already seen it, or want to relive the awesomeness of the show, here is the trailer:

On another completely random topic, I got my nails done! I went to my Mom’s favorite manicure place, Polished In Portland. Before I show you my manicure, I want to talk about Polished In Portland. The person who did my manicure, Christi, is SO amazing. She is a lot of fun to talk to and loves the same nerdy stuff that I like. She is so good at what she does and has great attention to detail! These are some of her past works:

And this is her super cool work space! I love the drip wall and her couch is super comfy! She also has a bunch of awesome nail related artwork. She even painted a picture on super long nails and framed it! Her whole space is SO cool!

And finally, my nails! I got them painted as ugly doll faces! (This is an ugly doll, in case you’ve never seen one.)

Now before I head to math class (virtual of course), it’s time for…

Actor Of The Week…

Kate McKinnon!

She has been in so much stuff, including SNL, Yesterday, Ferdinand, Ghostbusters, Finding Dory, and more! Check out her other stuff right here!

Even if you are old, hate animated movies, and/or think that watching children’s movies sends you straight to Hell, Ferdinand is such a cute kid’s movie and is a great choice if you want to get in touch with your inner child. Here is the trailer:

Have a great day!
