So it turns out if you put ants in the microwave, it doesn’t cook, kill, or even stun them. Not these Brasilian ones.
Nope, these insects are bionic. They can and will eat EVERYthing. How did the cet into the chocolate in the fridge??? I even tried tricking them and putting yummy garbage outside to draw them out of the house, which it has – some of them. The rest of them are wandering around the floors wondering why there isn’t any yumminess around. Thank Zeus that they don’t like baby formula…!
As we’ve been packing up things for Jared to take back to the states on Saturday, I’ve been getting all sentimental and sad about leaving. I had my daughter here… I love these people.. gah, the emotions are driving me crazy.
But theeeeen, I see ants. EVERYWHERE. And I discover that even if I turn the microwave on while they don’t stop. Mushiness gone. And in an effort to keep from going mad with how much I’ll miss, I need to remember all the things I will not be missing:
The crazy motorcycles that drive around all day with speakers strapped to the back of them, announcing the latest sales at the grocery store this week. I have a sleeping baby, people! If I want to know the price of Fanta, I’ll check the paper!!
One grocery store in town. It probably doesn’t have what I want, but if I try a mom and pop place, I have to use ESP because they are usually open one hour a day, and it’s always a different one.
Not being able to flush toilet paper. Oh, how blessed we are in America with out manly, manly plumbing.
NO Mexican food. Heck, I’ve even had Mexican food in the Ukraine and Poland. A person can only eat so many meals of beans and rice with a side of beef before they crave some enchiladas. Oh man, first thing I do when I get home…!
NO CHEDDAR CHEESE!!!
Oh, and the worst pizza ever. This country should be ashamed. Don’t know what catupiry is? You are lucky, my friend.
Okay, I’m centered now. I’ll leave…. If it means I get cheese again!
Good golly I’m having more fun than I thought I would would Miss Cheapskate. 15 entries so far… who knew I had so much cheapness in me? And yet here I am, airing how incredibly cheap I am to the universe.
If anyone wants to link to it, you are welcome to ;) I’m a sucker for ideas, too. It’s nice to have an outlet for this. Guess I have more talents than just a pretty face, eh?
We’re watching us some Star Wars right now, and it’s reminding me of the hillaaaarious spoof Kevin Spacey did on SNL a few years back of some screen tests.
Thought I’d share the love – enjoy!
SUPERCRACK out at light speed!
