Milk's favorite cookie

And the Moon Girl's favorite cookie as well.  It's Oreo Day, and I love me some Oreos!  Etsy shop is RoxysBowtiqueShop, where I get many of my more original bows (Bob Ross!).
Mama and I have been known to polish off a whole pack of Double Stuf Oreos during a car ride, and I've never thought to ask my brother-in-law what he thinks of the cookies.  My sister inexplicably hates Oreos, particularly the stuff in the middle...in other words, the best part.  I'll never forget what Uncle From St. Louis cried when he learned Sister didn't like the cookies:  "You don't like OREOS???  That's un-American!!!"  LOL, I don't know what's so American about Oreos, but according to my uncle not liking Oreos is highly abnormal.  That said, I do see Sister's point, as too many of the darn things can give one a mondo sugar rush or worse, a stomachache.  As I've said before, Sister prefers her treats fruity or sour, which Oreos definitely are not.

Interestingly, Oreos are a footnote in Barbie's history.  Meet Oreo Barbie.
As Mattel often does, they released this Barbie in a black form and a white form.  They were trying to be racially inclusive but they ended up being racially insensitive, as "Oreo" is a slur for a black person who "acts white."  As a result Afro-American Oreo Barbie is now a collector's item that goes for a pretty penny.  Thus why I have the white doll, LOL.  The black doll is cute, but I can't afford her.  Oh, and for the record, Cracker Barbie is also real.  She's actually Ritz Cracker Barbie, but folks just called her "Cracker Barbie."  The two troublesome dolls are both collector's items, and I must say that they make quite a cute pair!  Oreo is dressed dominantly in blue, while Cracker is dressed mostly in red, and as a result they look adorable together.  Kinda like a Pepsi machine and a Coke machine side by side.
Whatever, I don't want to turn this into a discussion about race, not when Oreo cookies (and soda) are loved by people of all races and colors.  Indeed, I read last winter that Nabisco is now offering gluten-free options.  Dirt cake and tiramisu are also waiting in the wings, and oh my Lordy, do I love dirt cake!  According to that article dirt cake will be a limited time flavor, while tiramisu may be a permanent addition to the Oreo lineup.  I'm pretty excited for those.  The dirt cake cookies are supposed to have rainbow sprinkles on them to represent the gummy worms that usually accompany a real dirt cake.

Happy Oreo Day,

Let freedom ring

Image
Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous...

Pac-Man fever

Image
For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone ...

International Sloth Day

Image
Y'all know what that means! I think I've worn and shown this bow before (shop name is CherylsBowtasticBows ), but it's one of my favorites because SLOTHS, that's why!  I don't think I ever showed y'all my earrings, though. Those also came from Etsy (shop name is JMDesignsbyUS ), and they're made of wood.  JMDesigns is located in Sedalia, so usually when I order from them I get my item(s) toot sweet.  I never have been to Sedalia, by the way.  They seem to be a tornado magnet, having been hit in 1952, 1973, 1977, and 1980, so maybe I'd best NOT go.  The tornado in 1952 hit the Missouri State Fair, by the way.  Normally it's a bad thing for a tornado to hit during the night, but in that case it was a very good thing, as the fairgrounds were fairly empty.  Indeed, the only fatality in the 1952 storm was in a mobile home, not on the fairgrounds.  But enuff of that; this is supposed to be about sloths, not tornadoes!  If you've read my doll blog t...
