Taxidermy Gift Ideas

Last night, around one in the morning, as I was asking my roommates for this month's rent, I asked how they would feel about me starting a taxidermy collection.

Kat: (with a high pitched squeak to her voice) That would be great...

Candy: (running towards the door) Well, it was nice living with you guys! Bye!

Mona: Can we please!!! Oh buy this! We could hang it on the wall in the dining room right above the table!

This is why I love Mona. 

It all started because I was looking for a birthday gift for her and you all know how that's been going so far ...I get easily distracted.

Well, this is what I was asking about getting, but there are lots of great options out there, so I wanted to run it by her and my roommates first.

Piranha

Here are some of our other options: 

Fortune Telling Squirrel

Alligator Claw

This one is Mona's favorite:

Puffer Fish Lamp

As we were searching through Etsy for different Taxidermy options, Candy was grossing out at everything!

Candy: Can't we get something cute instead?

Me: What animals do you consider cute?

Candy: Umm...ducks...

Me: Okay, lets me look up some ducks!

A moment later...

I don't even know

Okay, so maybe ducks aren't that cute anymore...I might have nightmares about that one. Maybe this whole taxidermy thing isn't that great of an idea...

Then this morning, after I got over the trauma that was that duck, I decided to kept looking.

GUYS I THINK I FOUND THE PERFECT ONE!!

Background Info: Mona and Candy both sing and play guitar and go busking.

I sent everyone this picture over Facebook:

Me: What about this one?

Busking Duck

Mona: How fitting!

Candy: This quacks me up!

Me: Is that a yes?

Candy: Duck yes it is!

Now if anyone has $50 they want to loan me...Taxidermied animals are expensive! Fifty dollars? Really? No wonder I haven't started collecting Taxidermy before, maybe I'll start a rock collection instead. It may not be as cool, but it's cheaper!

I Don't Need to Shower

I'm pretty sure I smell today.

I worked out last night and went to bed without showering because in summer it's pointless to shower before bed because I sweat all night anyways (because it's hot, not because I'm an unusually sweaty person. I just want to clarify that point).

Well, I wake up this morning and go to start my normal routine, only to find my Roommate, Kat, in the shower. Wait...that came out wrong. I didn't walk in on her in the shower, the door was just shut and I heard the shower running...I made assumptions. Gosh, that would have made for a real embarrassing story if I had actually walked in on her. (picturing that scenario in my head...)

Anyways, I thought "Oh okay, I guess I'll just wait."

I waited and waited. I GET READY AT THIS TIME EVERYDAY!

I was really starting to get nervous because I needed a shower and even if I didn't shower all of my stuff to get ready was in there.

So, I waited some more. Constantly watching the clock tick down the minutes slowly inching it's way closer and closer to seven o'clock.

I waited until 10 minutes before I had to leave for work and she was still in the shower.

Finally, I grabbed my clothes and went downstairs to the small bathroom. I tried to wash up in the sink with the hand soap, I threw my hair up in a ponytail, and I used Mona's deodorant that was sitting out on the counter. I had some body spray in my room that I coated myself in and prayed my hair didn't look too greasy as I ran out the door.

I still feel gross.
