Ice Storm Smakk
So we had our first little ice storm in Big D for the year. Wasn't too impressive - maybe an inch of ice, couple hundred car wrecks,couple thousand people stranded from cancelled flights, etc, etc. I myself enjoyed this ice storm for many reasons:
Get to be cool boss by closing offices early yesterday
Get to be jerk boss by opening all offices next morning even though most schools/businesses are closed
Texting while driving on ice whole new challenge
Carrot's walk much quicker than normal
Bunny breaks out flannel sheets
Don't have to worry about putting beer in fridge since left heater off in townhouse for past two days...45 degrees inside is quite the eye opener
Can't get "Ice, Ice Baby" out of head
Drinking to warm up almost valid excuse
Malls aren't crowded while I'm out on "Client Visits"

New Word Smakk
Sericastic - adj. - to be serious and saracastic at the same time just to confuse and annoy people
"Are you serious or just being sarcastic?"
"I am completely sericastic."

Please use at your own amusement.

Big Day Smakk
So don’t you just love finding out new sayings that irritate people? While I was trapped…err… I mean visiting with my bunny’s family I learn a great little expression her Dad uses with her. He gives her a little pat on the head and says, “It’s going to be a BIG DAY today.” Not quite the smakk classic like, “Is this going to be a long story?” But it still drives her up the wall everyone time I say it. So of course, I use it about 25 times a day. My thoughtfulness is just so boundless.

More Penguin Smakk
"During the breeding season, female penguins are sometimes identifiable by muddy footprints on their backs, left by males during mating activity."

That's classic. I'm really starting to like these guys. Very sociable, always dressed up and they obviously know how to treat their ladies.

Penguin Smakk
Did I really replace my dining room table yesterday with an 8 foot tall inflatable Christmas Penguin? For some reason (I’m sure highly alcohol influenced), Loops & I proceed to empty my local Target of all Christmas Penguin items yesterday afternoon. So now I have four, yes four, illuminated penguins in my living room to accompany the chili pepper Christmas tree and singing/dancing Santa. And if you thought Carrot was nervous before...jeez…
