More Waffle Humor

I guess she eats a lot of Eggos based on her syrup intake. This can't be healthy for a diabetic, can it? And I thought the gummy bear addiction was bad enough. 

L'Eggo My Eggo

I'm sure many of you have picked up a box of Eggos in your local grocer's freezer. Recently Gigi learned about the deliciousness of this easy to make breakfast... Of course, keeping them in the freezer is silly. Clearly this is treat that should be stored in the fridge.

And what's that I see behind the tiny bottles of fluoride water? I believe it is Tums. You know, keeping 'em cool for a warm summers day when you're craving their chalky goodness.

Doggie Doo Doo

The yellow bags pictured below are full of dog poop. This picture was taken INSIDE Gigi's garage. "It's ok because the bags are scented." Happy Monday!

Running Errands

Gigi asked my brother to do run a few errands for her. The first was running to the post office. He questioned if they were open and she said she had just called and confirmed that they were. They were not.

She then asked him to run to the dry cleaners. And not the dry cleaners nearest to her house because she doesn't like them (a valid opinion.) However, she had no clothes there. She had "meant" to drop them off but never got around to it.

Just a Scratch

Something happened to my mom's car. She will not tell us how but she scratched the front passenger side bumper. We aren't allowed to know because she doesn't want to tell my oldest brother. He's in charge of her finances and is scared.

And this just 7-8 months after getting on long scratch along the passenger side as she dragged the car along a dumpster in her driveway.

Thunderstorm

Biscuit is afraid of thunderstorms. Some things that my mom has done to try to calm her are: putting her in a thunder coat, letting her hide in the closet, putting her in a bathroom with no windows in the bathtub, and putting her in her thunder coat in the bathroom with no windows in the bathtub.

Few of these things have worked and last week when I stopped by she had decided to sedate her. Honestly, there wasn't much difference in her personality. She just laid on the couch but instead of looking up at me with her typical glazed over stoner face, she just slept.

From my understanding, Meadow has also grown afraid of storms in her old age. Of course we worry less about Meadow since Gigi and her don't really get along. However, Meadow decided to try and fight the drugs. It was like watching a drunk baby!

Whenever you arrive at Gigi's house Meadow must find the largest stuffed animal she can and pushes it against your leg. The process of picking which stuffed animal usually takes 20-30 seconds. This day it took a good minute. And once she picked it up she kept tripping over it. She also could not wag her tail, walk, and carry the toy all at the same time. 

(Please note, neither of the dogs were harmed and drunk babies are unacceptable. There are plenty of adults who should be enjoying those cocktails! And plenty who would enjoy the pills...)

Correction

After posting last night's blog entry my sister called me today to inform me I was incorrect when I said Gigi broke a few vertebrae during a fall in Florida.  She is claiming that she broke them sometime when she was a small girl.

This means she would have broken the vertebra in the 1940's or early 50's and has been living with that for 50-60 years. That being said I have to wonder how she lived with the following potential symptoms for so very long. She had to experience some of these, correct?

1. back or neck pain
2. numbness, tingling
3. muscle spasms
4. weakness
5. bowel/bladder changes
6. paralysis

Yup, she's complained of all those things... But they were symptoms of other disorders, diseases and injuries.
