Paper Variety fun and 'Men are from Cars, Women are from Cricut' story...

Hi All!!! 
Here's something I have been promising you! 
CUTENESS!

Nawwwwwwwww
I'm entering it into The Paper Variety Recipe Challenge 
Here's the recipe:
But don't excited... There is only 2 hours left on the linky...
I used Cindy's cute Pumpkin Digi. Oh so cute!
I used Bella BVD Too Cute to Spook paper and 
Wrinkled Ribbon bundle from Prairie Bird Boutique 
and the three buttons...
Don't talk to me about the three buttons.
I knew I had em... I searched everything twice.
I have paper up to my eye balls. 
They were right in front of me.
Stop talking about the three buttons!

Thanks Paper Variety for a fun recipe challenge!

So, I made a Halloween... (which I don't really celebrate) 
CARD (which I never make!).
But that's not the weirdest thing that happened to me today.

STILL not the weirdest thing that happened to me today.

***********************************************************************
Men are from Cars, Women are from Cricut. 
(Only read this if you are bored... or need a giggle)

I drove 2 hours for an interview today.
For one hour I was followed by a weird looking car, which other cars swerved for. Eek.
He pulled up right next to me at a pit stop, a place where every man and his truck comes for breakfast. 

I smiled, he seemed normal. His car was weird. 

But then something odd happened.

Men, from every corner of the servo came walking towards my car.

FOUR thoughts in one millisecond:
1. After all these years, I've still attract 'em like a magnet. Cool.
2. My new perfume must ROCK!
3. Paranoid now, too many halloween projects, maybe THIS is the zombie apocolypse. I'm DOOOMMMEEEDDDD ARRGGHH
4. SNAP OUT OF IT HONEY!!!

When I re-entered the living zone, I saw, they had gathered around weird car... there was a bottom of a Really.Excited.Guy (who I instantly named REG) blocking my driver window.  I thought he was going to let me out of my car, but he was just turning to get his mobile phone out of his pocket to take photos of weird car. 

My polite self sat there for a minute, but then my brain said, CHLLLLOOEEEEE.... You NEED COFFFEEEEEEEEE
And in an instant I was furious about a weird car and REG being in my way, I was fully prepared to take him out with the door. 

So, I amuse myself. I put on my best deadpan face... Ask REG to politely move out the way and I step SMACK BANG into the centre of the weird car male frenzy... 
Enter: the blonde.

Me: *deadpan face, flicks hair* What are we looking at REG?

(As if the car wasn't even there Lol)
REG: *facing me, eyes on car* This is a...


Then to be honest all I heard was Blah blah blah bugatti blah blah 400K blah blah blah... Men are from Cars.


Me: *deadpan* REG, Does it come in pink?


REG: *facing me, eyes on car* Yeah. probably for an extra 40 grand (thousand) 


Me: *blink... blink* (two observations here - He answered me that like it was a legit question AND he doesn't notice I am calling him REG)


Me: What can it do apart from go from A to B? Can it make a 12 inch paper lace? Can it cut a koala in a choice of 2 or 7 inches and THEN cut a perfect shadow of 2 mm as well? Not impressing me.



REG: *facing me, eyes on car* hmmm? No, it can't.


Then I realise that all REG heard was Blah blah blah cricut, blah blah blah cut, blah blah blah... Women are from Cricut.



Leave REG to ogle. Now, attention turns to coffee. 


Me: OUTTA MY WAY BOYS, I need coffee and I'm a ninja.


ALL men face me with eyes on car. *Awkward* not ONE questioned the fact I am NOT a ninja.


They release me from car frenzy.


Coffee in hand, one sip, brain working, thinking I should be embarrassed for my ninja and deadpan. Weird car owner opens bonnet, which is boot (trunk). Excited Guys ooooooooo and ahhhh over empty space at front. 


Me: *leans in a little too close with coffee* THIS would NEVER fit all my scrap stuff, not into it. 


All men look at me, eyes on car. Ask another REG to get out of my way so I can leave this scenario. 


But the classic moment of the day, was original REG, took his eyes off car long enough to look at me getting in car.


Reg: Hey, it probably would cut a kangaroo though... if it hit it. Not it's shadow though.

I was just out-deadpanned by a deadpanner.


hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Me: REG, you just made my day and gained some sexy points too. THAT was HILARIOUS! 


And that is why I don't need to watch TV.
I have front row seats to my circus. 
Men are definitely from cars. 
This woman at least, is from Cricut.

  4. Oh-oh! I must have a stray Y gene coz when you said Bugatti I went "OOOOOOOOOOH! Followed by a Bugatti Veyron....."

    I really must not be from Cricut. Well OK the fact that I've castrated more sheep and cattle than I can count. Have had an arm way up cows arses, generally like fencing (and not with a pointy sword thing) and am in LOVE with my motorbike might have given it away before now too. Sigh. Oh well.

    Very funny though. And I know you said you'd like a normal life but this is such gold! The rest of us reading your blog would get bored!
