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!
