Three {no} FOUR Tangent Tuesday

Happy Three Tangent Tuesday - today you get the special treat of an extra tangent!  You know Tuesday is my third favorite day of the week, so I am feeling extra generous today!

1.  Remember my squirrel Marv who had to be captured and moved into the wild because he was nesting in the attic? {Read here if you don't}. Well, today as I was making lunch I saw our new squirrel, Ted, enjoying a peanut while sitting in basket attached to the backyard tree.  "Hmmm" I thought to myself, "I bet he would like a treat." I looked around the kitchen and spotted some left over cookies!  I broke one into pieces and walked onto the porch and placed the cookie on the edge of the deck.  He watched me the whole way.  I went back into the house eager for him to take the cookie and hide it with the other goodies around our yard.  I watched through the window, and watched, and watched and watched.  Nothing happened! HE refused my cookie AND the piece of cupcake Ben added to the pile when he got home.  I can't believe it!  I also can't believe the biggest drama of my life is surrounded by the squirrels in my backyard. This is where I should insert that I work from home and sometimes get a little desperate for friends. :-)

 

2.  I must share with you our Monday night dinner because I was very proud of the display.  We had Cobb Salad and all the toppings too choose for our own personal salads were laid out on a serving tray in these cute little lines.  They were quickly destroyed, but not before I snapped a picture proud of my straight food lines.

3. I am officially 5 days without candy! Gushers, fro-yo and a couple bites of ice cream don't count. We are talking straight up candy here people.  This is a big feat for me.  No joke, I went from having one or 2 M&Ms once a day to convincing myself that entire meals of M&M's, gummy bears, hot tamales and sweedish fish had real nutritional value.  I was consuming wwwaaayyyy too much candy.  So much, in fact, that the last 5 days have been a welcomed break.  I haven't wanted any.  I ate so much I really think I got burned out of the sweet goodness and the last fews days have been nice.  Totally weird for me!  Am I giving up candy forever?  Ha, yeah right, now THAT would be INSANE.  But I am going to let my body de-tox itself from a serious overload of sugar and give the poor candy bowl a break!

You can't even see the candy hidden at the bottom of the bowl!
Or the candy treasures I have hidden secretly around the house.  Uh hum.... what problem?

4.  I am dying over this Giraffe head from Anthro.  Am I seriously lusting after it and will find a way to incorporate it into the decor of our new home.  Random, maybe.  Awesome, absolutely.

So there you have it, FOUR tangents, you're welcome.
