Spices or Drugs? You decide!

So on Sunday I crossed off the Take Sweet Treats to the neighbors on my 30 before 30 list

I sent Courtney to deliver and when she came back she had her own cupcake.

The neighbor gave her a cupcake in return for ours.  The neighbors we sent them to are a bunch of college kids rooming together and going to school. 

When Courtney came in announcing she got her own cupcake from them Hope yelled out DONT EAT IT THEY ARE PROBABLY WEED CUPCAKES! 

Yep.

Real life folks.

One kid takes food from strangers.

The other thinks college is about baking with weed.

It reminded me of a few years ago when weed was around me and I thought it was oregano. I have obviously never done a drug in my life.  I have never even smoked a cigarette.

I was teaching at a preschool and we always ate with our kids, the other teacher in the classroom sprinkled some greenish stuff on her mashed potatoes and even offered me some.  I declined.  I thought it was so weird to put dried oregano on mashed potatoes. Fast forward 2 hours and she was in the parking lot getting arrested for possession of marijuana after getting pulled over for speeding. 

When everyone was talking about it in the break-room later and I mentioned the oregano potatoes it all came together for me.  needless to say I never lived it down and people loved to buy me oregano as a practical joke.  

I know, I know, I am surprised  I haven't been drugged with roofies thinking they were swedish fish or something either. 

Halie & Hallies First Things First

First Things First

1. First thing you do at the gym

      Umm..... well the gym is my house.  So, I guess stretch.  Or make sure Jillian's voice is turned off. 

2. First date with your current significant other (or pick any first date if you're currently single)

I guess technically our first date was at Braums.  We were friends for a long time before dating so everything happened pretty naturally.  AKA I had been making him buy me dinner looong before we were an item :-) Im a keeper people!

3. First email address you ever had

HSMITH83045@aol.com awwwww yeah the good ol AOL days!

This weeks theme is top ten Beauty Must-Haves and you all know I am super simple.  Two day hair queen that wears make up once or twice a week.  You get what you get and you don't throw a fit with me! So here are ten things I must have to make me feel beautiful (see what I did there? LOOP HOLE!)
  1. Mascara.  I will say if I had to choose only one thing for make up it would be this. We all know my eye lashes are clear.
  2. Cherry Coke Zero, I am not sure I even need to say more.  And please keep your artificial sweetness drama to yourself kthanksbye.
  3. Hugs.  Yeah, I am a hugger.  You like it.
  4. Deodorant. I wish I didn't have to list this, but there are seriously people I am lucky enough to be around that think this is optional.
  5. Painted Toes.  I don't get pedis near as much as I would like but my toes are always painted (at least 50% of the nail ;))
  6. Bobby pins.  I am really not sure how I lived in life without them. 
  7. Q-tips. I love clean ears what can I say?
  8. My watch that tracks all my calories and pace. I am now obsessed.  Its true.  I was running late yesterday and forgot it and felt naked all day.
  9. Biore Pore Strips.  I rediscovered these and love them. Mainly ripping them off others, but myself too.
  10. Tweezers.  Need I say more?
How about you?  Any good firsts?  Taken food from a stranger?  Mistaken drugs for food? Must haves to be beautiful?

  2. My BFF was on a drug trial and thought cocaine looked like parmesan cheese. I said God freaking help you if anyone ever offers you a shaker full of cocaine that you put all over your spaghetti. Good Lord.

    I might join the top 10 next week. Or some week.

  7. Hahahahahahaahhahha. Omg you and I are two peas in a pod! I once thought one of my high schoolers left behind a little baggie of oregano in his seat. I opened it and it did NOT smell like oregano! I had to call my principal and sheepishly tell him I had my fingerprints all over it because I was curious as to what it was. He came to my classroom and had a good laugh!

  11. Hahaha! I have never mistaken drugs for spices, but oh my gosh that was so funny!

    And I won't say anything about artificial sweeteners....I won't! I won't! Just know it is killing me. LOL!

  12. So, did you eat the cupcake? I need to know.

    I don't get the whole pot mashed potatoes. That combo just doesn't sound good to me, but again I have never done a drug in my life. Although, I think that if I saw pot, I would know it wasn't a spice.

    Nothing wrong with a little artificial sweetener!

  13. Bwahaha - I was cracking up at this. I once lived with 5 other girls in a house during college so I can "relate." I don't know what I'd have done - we weren't that type of house, but people that would come and visit were questionable - but you can't trust people if you don't really know them. And no worries - seriously you can't really see the difference, so I probably would've assumed it was a spice too, especially when crazy head was putting it on mashed potatoes!! Unless you straight up SMELL it, it will look like a spice. HA.

  14. I love your twist on these top 10 things! Pedi are a must have! I don't get them near as much as Id like either

  15. LoL I'm laughing at multiple parts of this post.....I have to say that the part about the biore poor strips, and others makes me crack up. The oregano story...I would totally be right there with you! As a fellow, never done a drug, or smoked anything kinda girl...I would be lost as well! And AOL....my parents STILL use it, and I crack up every time! My mom recently asked me if I got her email. I said no, where did you send it? she recited my aol email....um haven't known the password to that thing in 10 years! lol. So funny...what's your aim name?haha

  16. Why did you have to tempt me with this cupcake. Now I can't focus on anything else lol. I just got done ordering 20 cupcakes for a party too (over the phone though, so I didn't have to see them.) = )

  17. OMG she put weed on her mashed potatoes while eating lunch with kids at a pre-school?! WTF?!

    I have honestly never done a drug in my life either... never, not even once.

  18. The weed story at preschool is priceless!!!! I had an experience with a drunk substitute teacher one time. Yeah she was let go. I must have tweezers too! And hair bands.

  19. Oregano on mashed potatoes, dying here, that is too funny. Also I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who takes perverse pleasure in ripping off Biore pore strips. Heh heh

    ReplyDelete
  20. That is hilarious!! I would have thought the same thing though. Never heard of POTatoes before. Now if she offered you a brownie and it had something in it, I wouldn't be surprised. Tell me she didn't participate in any bake sales??

  21. I'd have to go up to that school and start throwing punches if I found out my kid's preschool teacher was getting high at lunch. But on the other hand, I'm thinking that might make my own days with my high schoolers go by a little smoother. Hmmmm, mashed potatoes for lunch tomorrow? KIDDING. (kind of) ;)
