The Breakfast Club Part 5

Cocaine Princess here.

Good news.

I won the auction.

Final price?

$750.00.

No that is not a typo.

$750.00 for a bunch of pieces of wood.

Yes, yes I know what all of you are thinking.

She’s as crazy as Poodle Lady! (If not more!)

What the hell?!

She’s out of her mind!

Believe me those exact same thoughts along with a couple of others went through my mind as I waited in line to pay the cashier. While waiting Froggie’s mama showed off the items she had won.

An ordinary clay pot with some swirly designs painted on.

Price? $450.00

Non Folding Wood Chair.

Price? $400.00

Moments before she had gotten off the phone with Froggie’s daddy.

"What did he say when you told him?" I asked.

"He just made a sound. I couldn’t tell if he was laughing or crying," she replied.

The female standing in front of me turned around and offered Froggie’s mama some advice.

"Tonight when you're alone with him slip on a sexy negligee and have a bottle of wine on standby. That’s what I’m planning on doing. How else am I going to explain "these charges" to my husband when the VISA bill arrives?"

What were" these charges?"

A canvas painting of the ocean.

Price? $550.00

AND

A non folding wood chair.

Price? $600.00

Nobody is quite sure what precisely happened (I still don't) unless there was something in the food because it was obvious everyone who participated in the auction had an extreme case of auction fever and a bad case of wanting to win. We all wound up paying outrageous prices for things we really didn’t want.

Ta-Daa!!! Behold...

"The Chair"



My non folding wood chair is sitting by its lonesome self in the garden because it doesn’t go with
the rest of our patio furniture. But now that I think about it, it’s too good to be sitting outdoors.

The other day I just stared at it for God knows how long until something dawned on me. The frigging thing didn’t even come with cushions.

Hmm, I think the chair deserves to be inside, sitting on a special platform with spotlights shining down. I’m even thinking of putting a red velvet rope around it, like the ones you see in a historical home/museum. "You can look from a distance but not touch."

You know what the funny thing is? We paid about a $100.00 less for our new steel BBQ we bought back in the spring.

It deserves a 2nd look.




Froggie’s Gift
Froggie’s daddy travelled to Orlando on business and brought back a few of the neighbours a little souvenir. For me CHOCOLATES. Key Lime Coconut Chocolate Patties and my oh my they are simply delicious; coconut patties dipped in chocolate.


On the side of the box I found the website of the company that makes them
and discovered the coconut patties came in 4 other flavors. I contacted the company and was informed they don’t ship up here BUT one of the specialty stores in the city carries them. Being the shop-alholic I am when I see something I like I must have it in every colour or in this case in every flavour. The following weekend I paid a little visit to the store and bought every flavor.


I haven’t savoured something so divine and so yummy since I discovered Mrs. Grimbletorte’s chocolate cheesecake.
Along with the Key Lime Patties he brought me back a can of "Booty Sweat Juice," knowing how much I like the movie Tropic Thunder.

Froggie’s mama has given up coffee and now drinks nothing but Booty Sweat. She said its taste was sort of similar to Red Bull. I have never drank a Red Bull so I can’t really make the comparison. I can say its cherry flavoured and tastes very, very sweet.

My loyal and dear readers it’s finally Friday.

The past two days we’ve been issued an "extreme heat alert" and it’s been extended into the weekend. Temperatures have been hitting +36C and we’ve been advised to stay indoors in an A/C climate. Yeah, fat chance that’s going to happen after the frigging cold winter we endured.

Whatever your plans are have a naughty and cheeky first full weekend of summer.-x
