Bring Noni Cookies Day!

That's right, today was another famous Bring Noni Cookies Day. It all started one day when I was at work talking to my friend at the front desk. And I flipped her calendar to the next day and said "Hey, guess what tomorrow is." And I literally made her guess and then I said, "it's Bring Noni Cookies Day!" And wrote it on the calendar. This first, second, and third ventures went much this way and were unsuccessful. So the next time I tried I went up to a couple other people I work with and said, "hey guess what tomorrow is." I made them guess and and then told them it was Bring Noni Cookies Day. And then Pat (the orange note) brought me cookies that next day. It made me smile. And yes I did share my cookies. So I tried it again with Erin (the one with the calendar at the front desk). And that was yesterday. I said, "hey guess what tomorrow is" and she knew this time and said, "Bring Noni Cookies Day." And I was impressed, she had me pegged. And so I got cookies today. Both were delicious.

There are a few unspoken rules to Bring Noni Cookies Day. The first is that I have to tell them, make sure it's known. Also it has to be after payday so the cookies/ingredients can be bought. Also you have to make sure you remind those people who are to bring the cookies that Bring Noni Cookies Day is coming up, making sure they put it in their phone/iPod touch/calendar. And then we all enjoy the cookies.

And so you know for the next Bring Noni Cookies Day, which is to be determined, I like all cookies except oatmeal raisin and ones with coconut.

It's been almost a month

That's 1/12 of the year.

Currently I am eating a bag of baby carrots. For some reason they just taste really good. And I like them a lot, hopefully I don't turn orange. haha

Also it is lawn mowing season once again. Oh the joy of being woken up on Saturday and Sunday mornings to lawn mowers. And getting to hear them all day long. But the yards do look good. And in mine I have some random flowers, apparently the lady who lived here before my bro planted some random flowers. And upon discussing this with other people I have learned that maybe there was some sort of a reason where they were planted, but moles like to take bulbs and move them. So maybe that's why they seem random. But I do kinda like to think of an old lady living here and just deciding to plan those flowers right where they are, and probably with a big ol' smile on her face.

I have recently honed my painting skills, or maybe actually developed some painting skills. What I did learn is that primer is harder to get off your skin than the actual paint. It also does not go on as well as the actual paint. And the second coat makes the room look way better.

I also learned what a growler is. It's 64 oz of fresh brewed goodness. I've never had such good root beer. I got it from the Blind Tiger in Topeka, good stuff.

And since the dryer just finished I'm actually going to fold the laundry so it doesn't sit there for the next week or two.
