Trunk or Tank?

Good Day Friends,

So earlier today, as I was driving home with my trunk door open... the door bouncing up and down in my rearview mirror, I thought to myself "Sherylynn, why the heck is your trunk open? Think... thinking...ohhhhhh I know what happened you pulled the trunk button instead of the gas tank lid button. Hmm this makes sense why the gas tank lid was still closed when I was at the gas station 4 minutes ago and had to go back into my car, because I was totally thinking that I had hit the button when I originally got out of my car. I'm really hungry. oh shoot... I should probably pull over and close the trunk door." Yes, these are how my thoughts go. So anyways, after I pulled over to close the trunk door (awkwardly not realizing I was stopping in front of a house with people standing in the doorway watching me... *smile and wave*) I drove away thinking that I wasn't surprised at all that that happened because the gas tank and trunk door button are right beside each other. And THEN I jumped into Sherylynn's Deep Thought Time.

Sherylynn's Deep Thought Time: Having just come from church, where Loving without Limits was the focus, I thought to myself does this happen with God's love? Be not confused friend, I'll try and help you understand where I'm going with this. I am working with these definitions:
A car drives people throughout their daily lives.
A car trunk stores stuff that can be taken out at every location or stored until it is needed.
A car's gas tank is constantly needed, it must be present every time you try and get somewhere.

So, if you think about it and combine the two, are we taking God's love and storing it in our car trunk or using it to constantly help us as we drive through our lives? Are we storing God's love only to be taken out at certain locations or around certain people, such as only around Christian friends? Or are we using God's love in every aspect of our lives, depending on His love to help us reach our friends, near and far?

The best part: God's love is totally not 127.9¢/L

Hi my name is Sherylynn… I’ve been clean for 6 days now..


So the elephant is no longer under my care and life is returning to normal. Hmmm wait that sounds like I killed it or something, no, that did not happen. The elephant is alive and well at his home and I am back at my home. Ahhh home. Such a wonderful place to be. I don't have time for a 'serious' post I've been thinking about lately but I just thought I would tell you something that has been a bit of a problem in my life for the past two weeks:

Yam fries.
I can’t stop thinking about them. I made the most wonderful mistake of going to the Cactus Club about two weeks ago and getting some of the most delicious yam fries. Ever. With 3 different dips. Best. Ever. So anyways I got hooked on them and the entire week after first eating them I was on the search for yam fries that were equally as good, if not better, than the ones I had at the Cactus Club. This search brought me to Wings, home made freezer yam fries, and finally to Triple O’s. While all these places had delicious yam fries, they were just not the Cactus Club fries that were constantly spinning in my head taunting me. Bravo Cactus Club! (hands over fake award). And so, yes, a week later I found myself back at Cactus Club eating those delicious yam fries with my 3 dips. Oh man…just thinking about it... so good. So then I got my fix and I thought, ok good, this phase is coming to a close (I’m like a toddler, my “Why?” phase is probably still coming). So now this past week I am happy to report that I haven’t eaten one fry, which is good because that was a crazy lot of eating out in a short period of time… but my addiction is acting up again. The last two days I just have yam fries with those 3 dips on my mind. Mmmmmm. Do I give in? Do I stand strong?

There are much worse addictions out there, I’m just glad I’ve caught one that is delicious.

Story Time: Rescue Mission of the Majestic Beast

So if you have been following my latest story on Princess Sugarface you will know that while house sitting recently, the City, the SPCA, and the neighbors were all after her not even 24 hours from when she first started taking care of an elephant. After two days, she got a call letting her know the elephant had gotten out, had been captured and was waiting to be picked up in an elephant enclosure. And so now I shall tell you the events of day three:

Princess Sugarface finally tracked down the elephants original ringleader, got them to phone the elephant enclosure to give authorization to let her out, and then Princess Sugarface had the task of transporting the elephant from the enclosure to her home. What fun was had. Princess Sugarface underestimated how fortified the elephant enclosure would be and had to go through a series of fences just to get in, all while walking through a swampy mud pit. After trading all her gold and precious metals in she was given back the elephant. The elephant then also walked through the previously mentioned swampy mud pit and then INTO PRINCESS SUGARFACE'S CAR. Oh the horror that came upon Princess Sugarface's face, but yet she was able to mask said horror as she pretended to be ok with all that mud as the elephant enclosure lady looked on. Princess Sugarface hoped that the elephant would sit nicely on the floor of her car, containing the mud to one location. This did not happen. at all. The elephant, in her excitement, ran all over Princess Sugarface's car, passenger seat, drivers seat, between the two seats, the front dash, and on to Princess Sugarface herself. The Princess had a moment of frustration before she just began to laugh at the situation she had found herself in. On behalf of Princess Sugarface I now model her jacket for you:
Those are thumbs up, because who wouldn't want to wear a jacket decorated by the delicate steps of an elephant. If you would like to have your clothes uniquely decorated as well please let me know. Elephant footsteps will soon be taking over the tie dye world.

Story Time: The Hunters

The adventures of Princess Sugarface. Apparently turning into a series. 
(Again all names and pet types have been changed to protect identities)

So yesterday, right as Princess Sugarface was about to leave her work (where she probably makes tiaras all day) she got a phone call letting her know that the elephant had escaped. And nobody is a fan of a jumbo elephant rampaging around the neighborhood and so they sent out hunters to capture the majestic beast. This meant that the elephant had been captured and thrown into a cell until Princess Sugarface could go and release it. But wait, since Princess Sugarface was not the elephants ringleader she was not allowed to simply take the elephant out and attempt to take the elephant home in her car… I mean carriage. So Princess Sugarface is now still in the process of finding the exact location of the elephants original ringleader which is not an easy task as they are currently staying on Jupiter.

Life is fun isn't it? Laugh on, it's just another adventure.

Story Time: Princess Sugarface


Writing… writing… writing. Sometimes I forget that I have so many fans out there that are desperately waiting for me to once again write something super life changing on this here blog… I think my fans forget they are my fans sometimes too… ok well then let’s just consider all of us even.

Excuse for my dramatic absence from writing: I have been away snowboarding all weekend/being busy/being awesome/being harassed by SPCA

So now you know where I’ve been… wait a minute did I say “harassed by SPCA”?!? you ask… yes, indeed you heard that correctly. More correctly, you read that correctly. (Ooooh a hat trick of Correctly’s… quick everyone throw your hats at me.. if you don’t have a hat throw $50 bills).

Gather around for the story of the moment: (all names/pets have been changed to protect identities) Princess Sugarface is currently house and pet sitting.  While she was gone snowboarding for a few days and someone else was taking care of the pets the elephant was apparently being quite annoying, just constantly blowing its trunk (or whatever it is that an elephant does) at all hours of the day and night. The elephant was so loud in fact that neighbors complained and then sent the SPCA to the house thinking the elephant must be dying and/or abandoned as it was constantly crying out. This is unfortunate as neither of those were the situation, the elephant simply just missed it’s regular ring leader. As much as Princess Sugarface tries she cannot replace the elephant ringmaster. And so, Princess Sugarface phoned the SPCA, let them know the situation and hopefully that is the end of that. Good thing elephants are a common noise disturbance in small cities.

Be at ease friends, Princess Sugarface will not be going to jail over this.
