Oh No She Di-int! Oh Yes I Did!

So what did you do this fine Saturday Morning?

I made myself a cup of coffee with breakfast, then went outside and raked leaves.

Seems pretty ordinary and not odd, right? Well, let me back up, to a few days ago. Back on Thursday, I wend to the Dollar Tree Store. There are so many possibilities there, a huge variety of products sold for how much? ONE DOLLAR! Some items though, you should be weary on buying for a dollar! It is just too good to be true, on some items. I did find a large bottle of white vinegar for a buck! SCORE! Two, empty, spray bottles to make my own Vinegar and water cleaning concoctions, for a buck! Then it got a little iffy. I saw a box of pop tarts that come with 3 pairs of pop tarts inside...so that is 6 pop tarts total for 0.16 cents each. DEAL! Then I see Coffee K-cups in a package of 3. This calculates out to being 0.33 cents a K-cup. I bought one package of the "Breakfast blend" and one package of the "French Vanilla" coffee K-cups.

Fast-forward to this fine, Saturday, morning. I am looking at my selection of K-cups to choose from, on my spinning rack. Oooh goodey! I am going to brew my Breakfast blend K-cup! WHAT IS THIS? YUK! This coffee had the taste like the instant coffee does! Horrible. This had a real cheap taste, and a not so freshly, roasted, coffee taste. If you were to open up the foil seal of a used Coffee K-cup, then the packaging will have a water logged clump of coffee grounds remaining inside. With this K-cup, I pealed away the foil seal and nothing was inside? There were no remnants of coffee grounds! Instant coffee was packaged in a K-cup form and sold to me in a steal of a deal for 0.33 cents a K-cup at the Dollar Tree Store! Sucker! I fell for the "It was too good to be true" Deal! At least I only bought the two boxes, and only stuck with 5 of these instant coffee K-cups left on my spinning rack (along side my other, more wonderful K-cups). I tried to sip the rest of this coffee, but I just couldn't stomach it, and poured the rest into the sink of doom!

Now on to the rest of my morning. Our daughter wants to play outside with the dog. This turns out to be a full yard clean up for me! Something so simple, I can not ignore and just sit down on a patio chair, while she plays with the dog. I noticed the dog poo needed picking up, so I grab a baggy. Then notice the leaves and tree debris all over the yard, that I have been avoiding. I need a rake. Going into the garage and also grabbing our snow shovel and a yard bag from the Kitchen. Seems ordinary, you may think...well except for the part about having a snow shovel, and living in sunny California?

Let me back up a bit. For the past 7 years we have lived in the Mid-West with snowy winters and own a snow shovel. Just recently we have moved back to CA and still have the snow shovel in with our collection of yard tools. This shovel is awesome for picking up big leaf piles at the end of a raking job. Anyways, the odd part to this is, my front yard has Faux Grass, AstroTurf, phony... as in NOT REAL GRASS! I am raking leaves on a FAKE LAWN!? It seems so very strange! I am giggling as I do this, thinking to myself how ridiculous this is. I have never had fake grass before, it is not something I can mow or water, but I have to still rake. THEN, the rake doesn't really get all the tree debris off the "lawn." What should I get to finish all of this up? Hmmm. A BROOM! I am sweeping the grass!

(Oh no she di-int!)  Yes...yes, I did! I was sweeping my fake grass and thinking how stuff like this only happens to me. I always find myself doing such odd things and just have to giggle about it. Drinking fake coffee and sweeping my fake grass! Odd moments like these, keep my life filled with giggles. Sometimes, I need to just sit back and laugh about it all.
