No wonder my family is half deaf

(tweets)
me: Sananikone family dinners: we don't converse, we shout.
Sofia: I married into a Colombian family. No one gets to finish a sentence.

me: You should hang with my family sometime!
Sofia: I should! Although  I mostly sit quietly and admire the madness. On Christmas board games were thrown into the mix. I'm surprised everyone made it out alive.

She knows me so well

Sofia: Today when I walked outside and saw people walking bare-legged I thought, "I bet vina isn't wearing leggings today." then I thought, "I sound like a creep."

Oh, Sofia.

Sofia: Cookies, coffee, and Coltrane. Obviously I thought of you.
me: [emoticon of a heart]
Sofia: [emoticon of a dog]

Sofia: Yeah, I'm married. I'm not even his friend on Facebook.

Mmhmm. Sofia.

(after I sent her a mms of a "Life's a Brie" teatowel)
Sofia: Glad to know that every time you see cheese or a woodland creature you think of me. I'm such a multifaceted lady.
me: Yes. I'm sure the same can be said of me and French bulldogs or pastries.

Olmec, lower your gate!

me: Shut the fuck up, is that really you on Legends of the Hidden Temple?

Boek: Totes McGoats. 

me: Dude. You're my new hero. 

Boek: I should have gone second. Partner lost her shit when it was her turn to step up to the plate. 

me: Calm down, man. 

me: Sofia, dahling. I have the best news. You know our friend Chris Boek? He was once on a Nickelodeon tv show. 

Sofia: Obviously. Everything is falling into place now. That just makes total sense to me. Is there video proof? If so, I need to see it.

me: (send link to Justin)

Justin: Oh no. He looks so pissed at the end too.

I kept it clean for Facebook.

Squirrels, foxes, and raccoons! Oh my!

Girl #1: I hate her. She's such a stuck up bitch.
Girl #2: Oh, kind of like us?
Girl #1: I guess. I don't know, she just really looks like a chipmunk.
Girl #2: I love woodland creatures!

me: (forward link to Sofia)
Sofia: I love woodland creatures!

Squirrel!

Hey, let me ask you something.

me: I'm at the Herndon Ned Devine's! You should come out! Cheesy cover band, heyyyyy.
Sofia: I'm about to go home and watch a whole season of Curb Your Enthusiasm from under my down comforter right now, so yeah I have plans.

“Ebay is a dangerous place which is why I avoided it for so long. The joy I felt recently when I ‘won’ a dress is very very bad. Like yay I won! I'm highfiving myself! No bitch, you didn't win, you just bought a dress.”

Peas are Sweet
Oh, Sofia. So funny.

You guys know me so well.

Sofia: I never really eat meat but I'm in Chicago this weekend so I've had some amazing salty smoky thick-cut bacon. Thought you would appreciate that information. The food here is the bomb diggity.

Ice cream parlours, sausage fest frisbee golf, CHIPMUNK!

Pa: So, yesterday I played frisbee golf...
me: WHAT. Me too! Well, I saw it.
Pa: Where were you?
me: Burke Lake.
Pa: Is that off 123?
me: yes.
Pa: I was there!!!
me: WHAT?!
[hugging]

me: I just had plain frozen yogurt with a rhubarb compote. Lots of mosquitoes but nice.
Meekus: Rhubarb always sounds like the name of a fat man to me. :D

Sofia: Vina is bringing plates and cutlery. I'm bringing a bunch of snack foods, like olives, goat cheese, crackers, fruit, croissants and so on. And I'm bringing a huge blanket. What else do you guys want to bring?
Angela: Well, I am only a little suprised that the Food Queen..you know who you are VINA... is only bringing plates and cutlery..my mouth has only been watering over your food photos. I see your all tease and no play, Woman!!

Friday

Stephanie:  I can't wait till I have my apt under control!! I really want to have my balcony decked out, no pun intended.

First thing that made me laugh today:

I don't have as much going on these days but weekends still excite me.
Looking forward to:
+ Cake time with Stephanie T. 
+ Mulberry-picking and frozen yogurt with Liz and Justin (though I haven't yet told him).
+ Turning over soil for a new planting area. The ground will be extra soft after so many thunderstorms!
+ Mi madre's birthday and spending time with the family.
+ Picnic times with the Cheese, the Fashionista, the Sweet eyes, and my Falafel-in-crime.
+ Meeting our new ladybugs that Justin named all Harry or Sally.

Side note, I like roadtrip videos. Wish I were seeing them this weekend.
