We shopped with Mom today (at many places, but Wally World stands out.) There were two sisters shopping with their mom in the grocery section (the freezer aisles). They were CAH-REEEEEPIN! (Why? We don't know.)
Our possible explanations? 1. We look like twins. (Twins are sometimes interesting, case and point, Carol and Colleen. I'd stare at them...)
2. They thought we were Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. (We get confused for them a lot. A LOT.)
3. We had globs of ABC gum on our butts. (Which might be a problem since Veronica was wearing a short dress today. Ask mom. It was short.)
4. We reminded them of their third grade teacher. (We are teachers, they had teachers...it's a legit connection.)
5. (and this one is definitely most likely) We are beautiful.
At the beginning of this summer we had a large agenda (okay, we'll be honest...we wrote out a color coded contract and legally SIGNED them with our blood (just kidding...just a pretty marker)) of activities to accomplish before Veronica left for college. Some of these activities included:
a. Going for nightly walks (except for when it's raining, smells weird outside, when Cody and Riley just aren't having it with the neighborhood canines, or when we are being stalked by the paparazzi....which happened often, of course)
b. Just Dance EVERY day (except the days we wake up late, have to work, or need a drink of water)
c. Salad for lunch and dinner (we ran into a few lovely manager's specials at Smiths with the lettuce) daily (except for when the lettuce has little brown spots on it, when we are out of ranch, or when the house is fully stocked with starbursts and wheat thins)
d. Plan and do fun activities (except for when Teen Mom, The Bachelorette, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, The Glee Project, and Quilt in a Day are on....yes Veronica resorted to watching an old lady talk about quilts with Brooke on at least one occasion.)
So...since we are such busy girls and all of these exceptions kept blocking our path to awesome productive summerness....here we sit at the end of the summer having accomplished none of them (we DID however, become aunties again to a beautiful new niece! Remember, we are the queens of excuses...? :)). (double chin smile...we didn't eat enough salad) :))
Here is our list of activities for next summer:
1. Start a dessert business. Brookie's Cookies and Ron Ron's Bon Bons (we're taking requests for our first products! Maybe a bon bon cookie? Or a cookie bon bon?)
2. Travel to each of the seven wonders of the world in a self-navigated hot air balloon (with rainbows and sparkles on it, of course)
3. Writing more of these dual blogs (aren't we HILARIOUS!?) :))
4. Buy a slip-n-slide and host neighborhood slippy parties (you don't have to actually live in the neighborhood to attend...but the maximum occupancy will be 1000 so it's gonna fill up fast...)
5. Rent an inflatable bouncy house to live in for a couple days (not even kidding...that one would be fun)
6. Do our "twin for a day" experiment (tally and record the data into an Excel spreadsheet)
7. Start an ostrich farm (they have big eggs).
Well, we've succeeded at our number one success for the summer: procrastination.( We're still sitting on the brown microsuede couch...you didn't think we were typing this while dancing, did you?) We'll stop getting a kick out of ourselves (we've burst into laughter about our wittyness approximately 16 times during the composition of this blog) and being lazy and get to dancin' now.
(We're doing Firework by Katy Perry first.)
