My name is Gigi. I’m mostly a writer and strategist, but I also do websites, drink fine wines and buy polka dotted things with some frequency. Obviously, I also blog. Read More.

This afternoon at the grocery store…
Me (to the teenage grocery store shelf-stocker): Excuse me, can you tell me where the Poblano peppers are?
Her: Uhhh, what?
Me: Poblano peppers.
Her: No.
Me: Uhh, okay. How about unsweetened cherry juice?
Her: No.
She will do great things.
Gigi: It’s been so long since I read Animal Farm.
Guiding Ray of Sun: Me too.
Gigi: From a friend of mine…
Deleting some years-old DMs. Noticed that rather than using “waylaid,” someone used “way laid.” As in, “Sorry I was late. I got WAY LAID.”
DK: I remember creating an Animal Farm newspaper for class. haha
Guiding Ray of Sun: I think I did that too!
Gigi: Got way laid?
Guiding Ray of Sun: Not the way laid thing.
Gigi: Multiple conversations at one time!
DK: = WIN
Gigi: = blog
Guiding Ray of Sun: And I’m breaking up with you!
Gigi: Common law married! …I pulled that on Pookie the Raven again to his massive discomfort.
Guiding Ray of Sun: A couple more times, and he won’t be asking to stay with you.
DK: I want to live on Leisure Town Road in Vacaville.
Gigi: Oooh, me too…Except the Vacaville part. I hate vacas.
[long pause]
…Of the mooing version. Not the abbreviated vacation version. Abbreviated vacation = good.
DK: I don’t know of the mooing sort…is it a breed of cattle?
Gigi: Spanish for cow = vaca
DK: ahh
Gigi: I have to know their names in many languages, so I can steer clear…Get it…steer? HAHAHA
DK: *groan* Pun-ishment.
Guiding Ray of Sun: Now I have to talk about setting up surveillance cameras inside the home? …
DK: that’s kind of creepy
Guiding Ray of Sun: exactly. Jay’s current headline is: KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE. All alternative headlines are inappropriate
…EYE ON SAFETY. what does that even mean?
DK: the only thing that comes to mind (and isn’t inappropriate) isn’t mine: Someone to watch over me…
Guiding Ray of Sun: he he
Gigi: CATCH YOUR KIDS IN THE ACT!
SPY ON YOUR SPOUSE
Guiding Ray of Sun: nice alliteration
Gigi: FIND OUT IF SHE’S REALLY CHEATING!
DK: Voyeurism: not just for the Internet anymore!
Voyeurism starts at home.
along with the laptop pic?
perfect.
…Big Brother isn’t the only one watching…
Little Sister can join the fun!
DK: I was actually looking forward to that meeting this week. Kinda bummed we’re not having it.
Gigi: I was looking forward too. It’s been too many weeks of OMG PROOF PROOF PROOF.
DK: …and OMG DIRECTIONS TO PLACES I’VE NEVER BEEN.
Gigi: AND NO FACT CHECKING, EVIL COPYWRITING SCUM.
