The FOAA




                     I recently gave my auntie some apricots so she could make me some jam. No, I won't make it myself. I'm a consumer, not a producer. Anyway, I asked her how they turned out. Apparently she left them in her hot car and forgot about them. By the time she retrieved them, most of them had perished. Apricot mass murder. For shame. Of course I had to make her feel bad about her apricot neglect. She suggested we hold workshops on how to be kind and become a friend to the apricot. I wholeheartedly agreed. In fact, it inspired me to create the FOAA - the friends of apricots association. We raise awareness for the plight of neglected and suffering apricots. There was some dispute however, over whose fault it was. She maintains it was due to someone else's lack of care. I argued that it was indeed her mistake. They were in her possession, thus her ultimate responsibility. She then threatened to report me to the FOAEOA- the friends of apricots enforcement/oversight agency. HA! What a laugh! It was incumbent upon me to point out her lack of concern for the apricots, thus forcing me to form and spearhead the FOAEOA. I blew the whistle on her apricot wrongdoings. She can't report me!  She will categorically deny all of this. How sad for her. I'm thinking of creating a support group. The FOASG-the friends of apricots support group. She needs to acknowledge her hand in the demise of these poor defenseless apricots. I'll  keep you posted on her progress.

                                    If you would like to become a FOAA member, you can send a check or money order in the amount of a gazillion dollars to the official FOAA headquarters C/O me. As a thank you, we will send you the official FOAA t-shirt, keychain, bumper sticker and mug. I look forward to receiving your money. I mean support. Thank you.

I have a good excuse now...the death of my stuff..


                 Remember how I said I couldn't come up with a good reason for being a bad blogger person? Well, I've got a good excuse now. It's summer and I'm in a really crappy mood. I barely have the energy to lay on the couch in front of the tv and do nothing. Being perky is just too much work. Never mind having to come up with witty and insightful blog posts to entertain and inform you people. But this isn't my excuse. Although it is a good one. 
            Everything in my house decided to die this week. First it was my car.It blew a hose and became overheated and cranky. Apparently it hates summer, too. And then it was my favorite little portable speaker I use with my nook. Dead. And because everything comes in 3's, the next to go was my chromebook. It no longer wanted to live. I loved that little laptop....sigh...
super big bummer. If I had houseplants, they would've committed suicide this week, too. I'm surprised my fake ones are still alive. Anyway, my point being that since my laptop died, it prevented me from being a successful blogger person.
       
Do you not have other computerish-like devices?  yes...yes, I do. 
A phone?  yes. 
You said you have a nook?  yes. 
Surely you must have a nice desktop computer in your room?  yes.
Can you not utilize any one of these methods?     No. 

     And I'll tell you why. None of these computerish-like devices does a blog make. A laptop and a laptop only does a blog make. And no, I don't have to explain. There will be no further questions. Thank you.

                               If you are reading this most recent entry, you may or may not have noticed that I was able to post it. it can mean only one thing:  

Were you able to procure another laptop?    yes. yes I was. 

                         I thank you for your concern.
