Shopping Around the World – Don’t Forget

Me and my pal Fozzie started Shopping Around the World last month.  We asked for all of you to post prices on certain items in your part of town.  If you missed the posting, check it out here.  It went over so well, that we are going to do it again this month on Wednesday, May 28, 2014.

Do a posting on your blog linked back to mine.  That way we can keep track of all of the different prices.

It should be interesting to see the differences between different countries all over.  Mark your calendar so you can do a posting with us.  These are some of the suggestions that were made – show your prices for the following:

• Price of internet for one month.
• A pint of Ben & Jerry’s.  If you don’t have Ben & Jerry’s, post what you do have.
• A six pack of Coca Cola.
• Coffee.  Whatever brand you buy, just be sure to list the brand and size.
• A regular sized Snickers candy bar.
• Grooming.  🙂 Most of us anipals get groomed.  How much does it normally cost you to go to the spa?

Come join the fun of Shopping Around the World – mark your calendars Wednesday, May 28, 2014!

 

Did You Hear That?!

I have a tendency to dish on daddy a lot here at the Hotel Thompson.  He’s okay with that.  It’s what I do – shrugs piggy shoulders.  What can I say?  But today, snorts, today I want to dish on mommy – yep that’s right – MOMMY.  I love her.  She’s my mom.  But she does this one thing that scares me every.single.time.  It’s been almost three years and it still gets me.  I know you are dying to know what it is, aren’t you?

Yep, her sneezes.  I know it’s a natural bodily function – just like poots – snorts….I said poots – double snorts… PRAOL (Piggy rolling all over laughing).  But I get sidetracked.  We are talking about mom’s gigantic volcano sneezes.  Yep, they are H.U.G.E.  I’m not talking ca-choo small mouse sneeze (that would be my daddy).  I’m not talking cute little Sneezy from the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.  I’m not even talking about a cute purr thing sneeze…. or me for that matter.  I’m talking Puff the Magic Dragon out of the water sneeze.

You think I’m joking but I’m not.  Mom’s sneezes are so bad that everyone hears them…. even down the street in the next zipcode.  Yesterday she was in the shower using her favorite shower gel which is a honeysuckle smell.  It made her sneeze.  I thought she was coming through the shower wall.

And let’s not forget about the other day at the worky place – snorts – this is a good one.  She was sitting at her desk being all productive.  She took a sip of coffee and a sneeze snuck up on her.  Coffee.went.EVERYWHERE – both computer screens, desk, calendar, fan, light fixture, cabinets and all over her shirt like she was performing a wet t-shirt contest (not that *I* would know anything about that kind of activity – looks around all innocent).  She told daddy that it took her an hour to clean up everything.  That’s what kind of sneezing I’m talking about.

So my friends, I need to know.  Do you have a Puff the Magic Dragon sneezer in your crib?
