My Kin.

I had some kin come to town this weekend. This here is my cousin Tina... her interests include tweety bird tattoos, shopping and elbowing folks at Aldis, smoking P-funks and chugging Mad Dog 20/20. One of her favorite expressions is "keep it real girl!" and sometimes (well lots of times) she finds herself boozed up and booty dancing in front of her 3 small children. Her children cuss profusely. Good hanging with ya Big-T.

Eau de Toilette

This morning I flushed an entire bottle of the dazzlingly fresh fragrance Dolce Gabbana Light Blue down my toilet. I really don't know what else to say. Somehow I happened to be flushing the toilet and hurriedly trying to spray on my perfume before I left the house... and kerplunk. Then I stood paralyzed and dramatically screamed NO! NO! as I watched the bottle get sucked away in slow motion. Goodbye $60. Farewell clean uplifting (saucy and seductive) scent. Maybe I will plunge the toilet later and the perfume will emerge from that hole... it may shoot out as though being reborn from the womb of that porcelain biatch. I hate that stupid toilet.

R.I.P. My friend. My concealer of body oder. Your scent will live on in my scarf.

HOt cross BUns

Not too long ago I had a conversation with my sister Allison. It went something like this:

Allison: "Have you ever eaten a hot cross bun?"
My response: "Is that a real type of bun... or just a nursery rhyme song?"
Allison: "The other day at Panera bread I saw a sign for hot cross buns in the bakery-- then I high fived the cashier and said GIVE ME A hot cross bun!"

Without discussion we immediately begin crafting different versions of the little ditty we all know and love-
Hot cross buns. Hot cross buns. Oh what fun. All on my tongue. Hot cross buns. Not like other buns cuz there's a cross and they're hot...- stick up 2 thumbs.. for HOT CROSS BUNS.

My mom was mortified because we were doing this loudly inside of PF Changs (yay for lettuce wraps)... so, basically I just wrote this blog because I found myself bored in my office and singing the "Hot cross Buns" song and I wanted to get it stuck in someone elses head. Thanks for playing. (I prefer the alternate lyrics below-- thank you Wikipedia)

Some competition for the muffin man.

Music
'Hot Cross Buns' is also the name of a children's song based on the hawking of bakers selling their products.
There are two versions of the tune. The simple version is played with the sequence A, G,F whilst the original more musical version uses the notes A, A,D, where the second A is one octave lower than the first.
(The "ha'" is pronounced "hay", and refers to a half penny coin no longer in circulation.)
Hot cross buns,
Hot cross buns,
one ha' penny,
two ha' penny,
hot cross buns.
If you have no daughters,
give them to your sons,
one ha' penny,
two ha' penny,
Hot Cross Buns
Alternative lyrics are:
Hot cross buns,
One a penny buns,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns.
Fresh, sweet buns,
Come and buy my buns,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Fresh, sweet buns.
Nice, light buns,
Buy my currant buns,
Come and try them,
Then you'll buy them,
Nice, light buns.
Hot, sweet buns,
Good for everyone,
All your daughters,
All your sons,
All love buns.
Hot cross buns,
Hot cross buns,
Everybody loves hot cross buns.
