"You Are The Best Decorator Ever!".......NOT!

(Antique Furniture Print by VintageTreasureShop)

          Mrs. Wug: Honey, I know you consider yourself to be a 'jack-of-all-trades' and everything, but really...I think you should leave the decorating to me!

Mr. Wug: What are you try to say? I think I'm a pretty good decorator!

          Mrs. Wug:  Uhhhhh...I've seen your work. Trust me...it's not 'all that'. It's not even 'half of that'! Ha! Ha!

Mr. Wug: You think you're funny! But REALLY...I think I'm a pretty good decorator!

          Mrs. Wug: Okay...let's put it to the test. You know all of that old furniture that's just sitting in that room gathering dust? You put it in some sort of arrangement that people might wanna actually sit on.

Mr. Wug:  Okay...I'll make a nice cozy nook that'll be saying: "Come! Sit...relax, with some tea and a bowl of popcorn!" :-)

          Mrs. Wug: I can't wait to see this! :-)) ...Start with the corner that has the love seat and the chairs...

Mr. Wug: No problem!....Well, it's a little crowded now. So, I'm gonna take out a couple of chairs...

         ...and I'm gonna have these two chairs pointing toward the couch...

              

            Mrs. Wug: Uhhh...number one, you can't get to the love seat.....and number two, where are the people's legs gonna go?! O_O

Mr. Wug: Well, the chairs have wheels and they can move...

          Mrs. Wug: Oh! So we just have to tell any visitors we get that they just need to take a course in how to 'wheel' a chair before they come to visit...done! LOL 

Mr. Wug: They don't need a course. Just a couple of simple instructions! ^_^ ...But I had another option. I could've put them like this!...

         ...Or like this!...

          Mrs. Wug: What's with the fan?!....And do we live in a movie theater?! O_O There's no big screen in front of there! Why would people be sitting like that, all bunched up, staring in the same direction...and not looking at, and talking to, each other?! O_0

Mr. Wug: I was trying to give them the atmosphere of riding on a bus!

          Mrs. Wug: Riding on a bus...while they're sitting in a living room?!

Mr. Wug:.....(pause).....Yes!

          Mrs. Wug: Uh huh!....That don't make sense...and you know it!!....Mr. Decorator!...*shaking my head*...LOL...What about the other side of the room?!...

         ...Everything is all 'willy-nilly' in there!

Mr. Wug: Oh yeah! I can see how this part of the room needs tightening up! There's too much stuff in there...

         ....Now that's better....I just gotta get headless Tina out of there...

        .....BAM!...There you go! :-)

          Mrs. Wug: You know what?!....I like it! :-) You actually made that old furniture and stuff look good enough to wanna sit around on!...That'll be a great place for you and your buddies to go now! :-)

Mr. Wug: Great!...High five! :-)

          Mrs. Wug: *High fived him*.....But just so you know....I still think your decorating skills need some...as you say...'tightening up'! LOL

Mr. Wug: Whatever! ^_^

"I Pity The Fool..."

(Limited Edition Print by elloh)

         It's another case of the conversation that went "Bonk, Bonk!" in the night! LOL

          Mrs. Wug: "WOW! He still looks so young!''....*** I was talking about Mr. T, the actor known for his role as B. A. Baracus in the 1980s television series "The A-Team". I saw him on a commercial on television while I was channel surfing. ***

Mr. Wug: "He's a Cancer survivor." 

           Mrs. Wug: O_0 .....*** That's the look I have on my face sometimes when hubby and I have conversations. It sometimes seems like we're two conversation ships, passing in the night....

 (Print of Original Oil Painting by hisss)

          ...and passing in the day....and every time we talk!! ^_^ ***......

          Mrs. Wug: "Cancer doesn't make someone look younger!" O_0

Mr. Wug: "Noooo! I didn't mean that!...I meant that it's amazing that he looks so young considering that he's a Cancer survivor!"

          Mrs. Wug: "Ohhhhhhh! Well why didn't you say that?!"

Mr. Wug: "I did say that!...Well,...I didn't say it in so many words!...But you knew what I meant!"

          O_0 ...*** Clearly I didn't know what he meant!!...

(Button Pinback Badge by theangryrobot)

          ....In fact, that happens a lot!! LOL...The other night I was in the bedroom watching American Idol. Hubby was in the kitchen washing a couple of dishes we had dessert on. He was taking sooooo long to come back...

 (Vintage Cutting Board from Vintagecritter)

          ...and the good singer was about to sing. So I yelled:...***

          Mrs. Wug:  "What are you doing?!" ...*** It had been about 20 minutes!! ***

          He didn't answer at first...Another few minutes went by and I yelled the same thing....Grrrrr!...He finally hollered back:


Mr. Wug: "Washing the dishes!!"..Grrrr!

          Mrs. Wug: "I don't hear any water!"...*** In fact, it had been dead quiet in there for quite a few minutes! ***

          He came in the room annoyed, in a huff kinda, and showed me his wet hands:

(Art Print by thepairabirds)

Mr. Wug: "See!!"..."You're so suspicious!!"...Grrrr!

          Mrs. Wug: O_0 ......"WOW!...Where did that come from?!!...Just because I asked what you were doing?!!"

Mr. Wug: "Yeah! What did you think I was doing?!!"

          Mrs. Wug: "I don't know! That's  why I asked!!"

Mr. Wug: "I told you I was washing dishes!"

          Mrs. Wug: "Yeah, but there wasn't any water running!!"

Mr. Wug: "I know! Because I was drying up the sink and countertop!"

          Mrs. Wug: "Well, why did you say you were washing dishes?!"

Mr. Wug: "Because that's what I was doing! The dishes were all done and I was drying up the sink! It's all the same thing!"

          Mrs. Wug: O_0 ........Is it just me?...or is there some interference in the force?!....The husband and wife conversation force, I mean?!....Ha! Ha!.....As Yul Brenner said in 'The King and I': "Is a puzzlement!" ^_^

Okay....Let's Talk Football Food!!

(Football Flags by becraftystore)

      Mrs. Wug: You know...I was looking around on the Etsy site and I'm just amazed at how quick...and creative...people are! The big game...the Super Bowl, Baby! ^_^...is on this Sunday, and you should see the things people have been selling! I wish I had been that savvy weeks ago in preparation for the game!....Me....I've just been waiting to eat Super Bowl food!! ^_^

 (Giants Football Themed Cake Balls by BeSweets)

  

Mr. Wug: You're not the only one! That's all everybody at my job is talking about...is Super Bowl food!...One guy is actually looking forward to having him a 'turducken'! Ha! Ha!

        Mrs. Wug: What in the world is a 'turducken'?! O_0

Mr. Wug: Well, he said it's a boneless turkey that's stuffed with boneless duck, and then the boneless duck is stuffed with chicken! ^_^ He said it was good, but I laughed because I didn't think there was any such thing!

       Mrs. Wug: What????!!!!!!!.....Okay, I gotta go and see if Wikipedia has any info on this....I think he was pulling your leg!

{After a Google search......}

      Mrs. Wug: Guess what?!....There really is such a thing as a turducken!!!!!! ^_^ Wikipedia even had a picture of one!! Look at this...

(Turducken from Wikipedia)

      

             ...And your guy's description was just about on the money too. Wikipedia says that a "Turducken is a dish consisting of a de-boned chicken stuffed into a de-boned duck, which itself is stuffed into a de-boned turkey. The word turducken is a portmanteau {a blend of two or more words into one new word} of turkey, duck, and chicken or hen. The dish is a form of engastration,  a recipe method in which one animal is stuffed inside the gastric passage of another."...WOW! I can't believe I lived fifty plus years without ever hearing about a turducken!! ^_^

Mr. Wug: And I wouldn't believe it either...if I didn't see it!! ^_^

        Mrs. Wug: And even so, I'm not having turducken for the Super Bowl...just so you know!!!! Ha! Ha! 

Mr. Wug: Yeah, I hear you! ^_^

          Mrs. Wug: That reminds me, we haven't decided what we ARE having Sunday, for the game...food-wise! ...I know one thing that's definitely gonna be on the list....hot wings!! :-) And I don't mean chicken wings that are doused in some kind of sauce either! I'm talking about spicy seasonings on regular...non-gooey...chicken wings!!...

 (Chicken Wing Seasoning by CraigsMarket)

         ....I don't want stuff on my hands while I'm rooting for my New England Patriots! :-]

 Mr. Wug: I think they should be drowned in sauce! ^_^

        Mrs. Wug: Okay....drown yours!

Mr. Wug: ^_^ I will!...And you can just follow my trail of drippy barbecue sauce and bleu cheese and celery dip! LOL...

 (Ultimate Party Food Pack by CraigsMarket)

         .....I'll be in my corner, eating away like a hungry dog! And don't bother me. I might growl at ya!! LOL

        Mrs. Wug: Fine!...I'll be in my corner with a veggie dip, some sea salt and vinegar chips, and bell and other peppers of all kinds and colors....

 (Jalapeno Pepper Jelly by Northernlodge)

         ....and maybe some pizza...

 (Tuscan Salami Pizza Earrings by shayaaron)

         ......and a cupcake or two! :-)

 Mr. Wug: Make sure you get some Cheetos too!...And are we making Chili this year?!

       Mrs. Wug: Hold up!....How many people are coming over here for the game?! O_O

Mr. Wug: Nobody!...it's just you and me! :-)

          Mrs. Wug: Uhhhh....Well, considering the kind of food we're planning here, maybe we better be watching for the ambulance coming through the living room, instead of touchdown after touchdown by Tom Brady! ^_^...because you know those touchdowns are gonna be flying...like a turducken with all those wings!! Ha! Ha! Ha!  

Mr. Wug: Ha! Ha!....Whatever!

Sisters...The Driving Force!

(Shirts by OodlesDecals)

          Mrs. Wug: I think it's pretty cool that your sister comes all the way from the south, and my sister...who I haven't talked to in months and months...both converged on our weekend at the same time! :-)

Mr. Wug: Yeah, that 'is' pretty cool! And 'my' sister got to see all of her brothers and sisters while she was here! :-)

        Mrs. Wug: I know...and she got to see all of my scarves too!...*Teehee*

Mr. Wug: *Teehee*...Yeah, she really looked good in the scarf...and the hat...too!...

        ...and I think her suggestion about you selling hats and scarves together was a pretty good idea too! She looked really good in hers! :-]

          Mrs. Wug: I know. She sure did!...

          ...And I might just have to take her up on her suggestion! ^_^ She works where they sell lots of yarns and fabrics, and she told me yesterday that people are really into that now. So, me taking her up on her suggestion may just be the driving force behind my next big Wuglyees shop push!! 

Mr. Wug:  Speaking of driving, she sure did do her share of driving this week!! First, she drove all the way up here from down south with her cousin. Then she drove all over the place visiting and staying with relatives!...Usually she doesn't drive when she's up. But she figured out how to program that GPS this time so she wouldn't get lost, and it was 'on'!!! LOL She really amazed herself...and me! ^_^

          Mrs. Wug: And me!! LOL I couldn't believe it when she told me she was by herself when she came over the other day!! ^_^ You-Go-Sis!!!...Just watching and listening to her with all of you showed me that it's not just cars that she's a driving force for either! ^_^

Mr. Wug: That's true. :-) She's a driving force for the family...And I'm glad she got to see dad in the facility. Hopefully it eased her fears about how he's doing. He really perked up while she was here too! I hadn't seen him like that in a while! She said he was asking all kinds of questions that I didn't even know he was thinking about! And asking about people that I don't even know...but my sister knew them...Yes, she truly is a driving force. :-]

          Mrs. Wug: :-] Usually I like to give you a hard time on these posts, but you're in such a good mood now that you've been spending some time with your sister, that I'm not gonna bother you...much! ^_^ But rest assured...one day soon the story of why you left your shoes outside the other day will have to be told!! LOL

Mr. Wug: Dun dun dun dunnnnnn!....OOPS!!!....Ha! Ha! Ha! HA! Ha! HA!...You wouldn't???!!!!!! O_O

          Mrs. Wug: ^_^

'To Be....Butter, Or Not To Be....Butter'!

(Butter Knife by SimplySweetStudio)

Mr. Wug: What difference does it make if I use margarine or butter in your cookie recipe?! I'm using butter. Will the cookies come out flatter or fluffier or cake-ier?!

          Mrs. Wug: Actually, it doesn't really matter which one you use...I don't think. I just never used the margarine that the recipe called for.

Mr. Wug: Really? So you 'always' used butter, even though you saw that the recipe called for margarine?

          Mrs. Wug: Yeah, I think that if there's a choice between the 'real stuff', versus the 'fake stuff'....'real stuff' should win! LOL Besides, I like my cookies tasting rich, and a little bit crispier. The butter makes them a little bit crispier...But you go ahead and put the margarine in there like the recipe called for. Your cookies will come out nice and round and perfect..just like you like them! :-)

          (Peanut Butter Cookies by KEcookies)

 
Mr. Wug: Well.......I don't have no margarine.

          Mrs. Wug: So what were you gonna do if I said put margarine in it?!

 (Kids Wooden Play Set by YoureInspired)

Mr. Wug: I guess I would say...I don't have any margarine. I have butter, so I'm just gonna use butter!...especially if you say it tastes better!....I asked because I saw you had margarine scratched out, and butter inserted, on the recipe. I didn't know if it would make a difference.

          Mrs. Wug: Well, I can tell you...butter ALWAYS makes a difference!...Of course there is the down side.

Mr. Wug: What's that? O_O

          Mrs. Wug: Margarine goes into your body like a tourist. It wanders around here and there, looks around, and leaves...without spending too much money on gifts. :-)) ...Butter goes into your body, finds your major arteries, grabs them by the teeth like a junkyard dog, growls and gnaws at them...until you're dead! LOL

 

(Card by colettepaperie)

Mr. Wug: Well, I don't want it to go that far!... O_O ...I want the butter to just growl at my arteries, shake 'em around a while, slob on 'em, and drop 'em, and walk away. LOL

          Mrs. Wug: Well, forget about the margarine...BUTTER it is!!...but maybe what you can do is just don't eat that many cookies. :-)

 

(German Cheesecake recipe by KnitOneSipOne)

Mr. Wug: Hmmm...Sooooooo how many slices of cheesecake can I eat?!... There isn't any butter in that at all!! :-)

          Mrs. Wug: ...*shaking my head*...dropping it and walking away.

'A Thing Called......' Foot Dancing!!

("Foot Folly" Fine Art Photography by janeheller)

Mr. Wug: It's been a really relaxing day today, hasn't it?! After my week I needed this!

          
          Mrs. Wug: You sure did!...And actually I did too.

Mr. Wug: Look how late it is...and we're still up! O_O {12:51 p.m.} After sleeping the day away....I'm wide awake. Wanna do something?!

          Mrs. Wug: Sure!...Like what?!

Mr. Wug: Wanna play Scrabble or something?!

          Mrs. Wug: You know...I'm usually up for a game of Scrabble, but I'm not in the mood for it right now. I'm kinda wanting to listen to music or something....Even better, I know what we can do!!!! ^_^

Mr. Wug: What?!
 

Mr. Wug: Hey! ^_^ That was fun!! We have to do that more often!!

Cereal.....With A Side Of Ketchup And Grape Jelly, Please!

(carmynjoy)

Mr. Wug: Okay...we have to talk about it!

          Mrs. Wug: What?! O_O

Mr.Wug: Our eating habits...Especially our breakfast eating habits!

          Mrs. Wug: Okay...O_0

Mr. Wug: Did I hear you say this morning that you wanted fresh corn flakes and sugar pops mixed together for breakfast?! :-/

          Mrs.Wug: Yeah! I haven't had that in a long time!....I don't know why I'm craving it this morning either! O_0  Just, out of the blue, my mind said: "Cereal!"

 (QueenofTartsWafers)

Mr. Wug: Yeah, but with your issues with milk, I'm surprised!...Although, I must say...you do have some weird cravings every once in a while.


          Mrs. Wug: Well, I don't think there's anything weird about wanting cereal for breakfast. O_O ...What are you talking about.

Mr. Wug: Okay, well...you're right. It's not some weird thing like if you had to have pickles and ice cream or something,....But every once in a while you'll say: "Oooo! I can really go for....And then that's followed by weird stuff! Like some dark chocolate with nuts dipped in yogurt!" LOL

          Mrs. Wug: What are you talking about?!...I never say that!!!...I don't even eat yogurt!

Mr. Wug: Okay...Okay! That's a bad example. But you know what I mean...like you'll say: "I can really go for some pancakes, covered with strawberries, and some whip cream, and some blueberries, and then have it covered with pineapples...with a side of sausages!" LOL

          Mrs. Wug: Uhhh....and what's wrong with that?! LOL That sounds even better than cereal!....Yum!....Now I'm hungry! :-]

Mr. Wug: That's just weird to me!!

          Mrs. Wug: What's weird about it?! In the restaurants they always make you have to choose one fruit to go on your pancakes. Why can't you have more than one...It's fruit!!...And it's good for you!! And the acid in the pineapples can cut some of that pancake batter too! ^_^ What's weird about that?!.....I think putting Ketchup on collard greens is weird!...and you do that!...

 (simplyseeds)

         ...In fact, you think Ketchup on anything makes it taste better!...That's weird!

 (BravaBoutique)

Mr. Wug: That's NOT weird!... It gives it more flavor! :-)

          Mrs. Wug: Uhhh...if you know how to cook...which may be what your real issue is! ^_^...you don't have to worry about flavor in your food!...especially not in your collard greens!

Mr. Wug: Well, I like 'em that way!...Just like I like my oatmeal, with some eggs and sausage all mixed in together!...That is a perfect bite right there!...like on 'The Mirror Has Two Faces", when she loaded her spoon with just the right amount of everything so she could have 'the perfect bite'! :-)) ....Or even better, how about some grits, egg, sausage, and a side of bacon with some wheat toast covered with grape jelly...

 (kenswanson)

          .......Oooooo! That's what I call some good eating!! ^_^ Nothing weird with that!


          Mrs. Wug: That's what I call a reason to call the Roto-Rooter man! Ha! Ha!...It's too much!!...And is there nothing that you don't want either ketchup or grape jelly on?!! LOL...If I really just wanted to think about good eating, I would say that good eating for breakfast is a fried pork chop on a fork, grits, cheese and eggs, and home cooked home fries sauteed with onions...YUM!! Oh yeah, and don't forget the coffee!! :-] ...THAT is good eating!!...*mouth watering*...We gotta stop talking like this. I'm getting hungry! LOL

Mr. Wug: ^_^ ...Okay, but just so you know...that's too heavy! LOL


          Mrs. Wug: What?!...Like yours wasn't too heavy?!...You'd need a fork-lift just to eat your breakfast!! :-))

Mr. Wug: Ha! Ha!...Yes...too heavy...and it needs some grape jelly!...

 (LindaHunt)

         Mrs. Wug: ...About as much as you need another hole in your head!! ^_^

 
Mr. Wug:......Ha! Ha!....That's alright. The doctor has pills to take to take care of that!...Ha! Ha! 

Mrs. Wug: You think you're soooo funny!...*shaking my head*...I say a bowl of cereal, with some fruit, would be right up your alley, Mr. 'Take-A-Pill-For-It'!!! LOL


Mr. Wug: Yeah...alright. Maybe a bowl of cereal would be good for us this morning.....With some wheat toast covered with grape jelly....and a side of bacon! ^_^


          Mrs. Wug: I give up!!
