Beware of Black Friday

I know Fridays. I live for them every week. Fridays mean that mommy will be home for the next couple of days. Fridays mean I get to stay up late and watch television with mom and dad. Fridays sometimes even mean popcorn while watching b-rated movies on the Sy-Fy channel.

But, I’ve never heard of this Black Friday. It has to be bad. I say this for a couple of reasons. First, when mommy told daddy he would have to “survive” this day, daddy stopped laughing. Heck, for a minute I thought he was going to cry. He kept saying, “But, but, but”. Mommy didn’t listen to him. Second of all, you know something is bad when mommy laughs like the wicked witch from the east. Ooh shivers just hearing that in my head.

So this Black Friday thing, what can it be? Is it dark as black outside all day and it’s a Friday this Black Friday? Is it a plague or disease? Did someone not pay the light bill? Is it the end of days? Should I start stock piling my piggy chow in my bedroom? I’ll admit that this little piggy was scared.

I did what I do best. I squealed, ran to my bedroom and slammed my door. I then immediately started doing some research on my laptop.

ODP (oh dear piggies). It’s worse than what I thought! Did you know that the day after Thanksgiving in the USA, they call it Black Friday? Here’s the scary part. People get up voluntarily at 0400 hours to camp outside of stores to go shopping!. Thud – piggy down! 0400 hours is like way before even Old McDonald gets up at the farm. It’s before the birds start chirping. It’s before they even make the doughnuts at the Krispy Kreme. Heck, it’s before *I* even stir in my toddler bed. That’s early!

Mommy is going to make daddy go shopping with her on Black Friday at 0400 hours. Two words mom. How uncivilized. I can’t believe mom is going to get up before the break of dawn. But friends, don’t feel too sorry for daddy. I saw him the garage laughing and getting “ready” for Black Friday. He was pulling out his old pads from his football days. I think I even saw him with a hockey stick and a helmet. Oohh mommy – who is punishing who now? Snorts.

 

Doh!

First off, please know that my mom is a blonde.  I know.  Shakes piggy head.  Most days, you wouldn’t know.  But she came across something from a fellow blonde that I have to share.  Don’t tell her I told you though, okay.  Let this just be our little secret among friends.

During a recent password audit by a company, it was found that an employee was using the following password:

“MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento”

When asked why she had such a long password, she rolled her eyes and said, “Hello!  It has to be eight characters and one capital”.

 

A Note to Winter –

 

Texts from Bacon

There comes a time in a little pigs life that he needs to start thinking about his future. I thought perhaps I had a career picked out but mom set me straight – thank goodness. My texts are in blue and moms are in gray. Enjoy.

 

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Street

 

Moms New Sign

 Mom got this new sign for the Hotel Thompson for daddy.  Snorts – I think I resemble this as well.

 

A Note to Winter –

Dear Winter,

We are both adults.  But, I guess you didn’t hear me.  I didn’t want this to hurt.  But, I met someone else.  Her name is Summer.  She seems to like me, is very kind and doesn’t judge me.  You used to be the same.  We’d cuddle up before a fire, laugh at the world and still walk hand and hand outside.  But, you’ve changed.  You’ve frozen me out.  You’ve given me the cold shoulder.  You’ve taken the power from me.   You make me look foolish now, shivering in the ice.  It’s over between us Winter.  Goodbye.  You are dead to me.

Snorts – How Small is It?

 They have these adorably cute little buggies at the market now that mom/dad go to on the weekends.  Just look at that buggy!  So small and cute – just like mommy likes her play things – snorts.

When daddy saw the buggy, he almost popped his back out he was laughing so hard at it.  Mom just stood there and gave him the ‘stink eye’.  You know that look, right?

She let him finish looking like a fool in the parking lot and then asked him what was so hilarious.  He didn’t even reply back to her.  He took the cute adorably buggy and put it next to her Smart car.

.

Oh dad.  Shaking my piggy head.  Will you *ever* learn.

First off, never ever talk bad about Albert – mom’s Smart car.  You know how precious that thing is to mommy.

Second off, if you are going to laugh, do you really think it’s smart to do it in front of mom?  Have you not learned anything in all of these years?

At least *I* had the decency to go in my bedroom before I fell on the floor rolling around with laughter.  Snorts.

 

Super Sweet Award

Squeal!  You know the only thing that I love almost as much as food is an award – double squeal!

Awards just make me want to get up off the couch and do a happy dance.  They excite me that much!  Sometimes when dad sees me dancing, he gets up and dances with me too.  It’s only awkward when mom walks into the room.  But I digress, that’s a story for another posting.

Back to the award.  My friends Piggy and Puggy at http://iarxiv.com/2014/02/14/awards-for-fellow-bloggers/ gave me the Super Sweet Award.  aaww – they really like me and think I’m sweet.  Thank you my kind dear sweet friends.  If you haven’t met Piggy and Puggy, you *have* to visit their web page.  Tell them that Bacon sent you.  Piggy and Puggy are piglets in art.  That’s kind of soft part in my little miniature piggy heart.

They gave me this award on what better day than February 14, 2014 – love day.
