For Tingle's Boss

My friend Tingle gave me and LilCherie an important job for our last Girls' Night. She asked us to come up with activities that her boss and her boss' daughter could do while recovering from a broken leg (boss) and a broken pelvis (daughter). Here's what we came up with! (Be sure to click on the photos for more information!)

Rent laptops and look at porn.
Cultivate a Chia Pet. ("I have been on this couch since that thing was bald!")
Watch seasons one and two of "Weeds."
Learn a new language!
Look at pretty sparkly things.
Shrinky Dinks and suncatchers! (Note: Need an assistant to do the baking)
Eat lots of Oreos.
Learn how to play the recorder.
Do a huge splatter painting (so they can just throw the paint at the canvas).
Have a babyfood tasting.
Have theme days like "Mexican Day" where they can work on piƱatas, eat salsa, chips and tacos, and drink sangria.
Grow out their toenails.
Finger paint.
Make nippleprints.
Learn to identify different cuts of meat.
Build a model.
Make cool things out of Sculpey.
Learn to be a cobbler.
Start a blog!
Start their memoirs.
Puzzles.
Learn how to create a crossword puzzle.
Call us. Just call us!
Call 1-800 numbers and order samples and catalogs for other people.
Explore their genealogy.
Sleep.
Become wine, cheese, or beef stick connoisseurs.
Watch Court TV.
Write a soap opera.
Learn sign language.
Do projects like typing, organizing things, rewriting recipes, etc. for other people.

Decorate Easter eggs!
Organize a charity drive. Use the computer and Paypal and have people sponsor them by pledging $5 for every day that they are immobile.

These are GREAT! Of course, there are some I can't share with my boss, because she is still my boss.

We did do collages - my boss did one with the theme "Relax" and I did one of animals eating things that animals don't eat (ie: a goat drinking a soda, pigs eating donuts).

They both have laptops, so they are able to stay connected to the rest of the world - don't know about the porn part.

I actually thought about bringing Shrinky Dinks last time! I'll probably do that on my next visit, you know I loves me the Dinks. I also thought about bringing Sculpey, I had some left over from my "Gingerbread Hat" that I made for the Christmas party and thought that might be fun - I'll probably bring it next time, or another time.


The splatter painting is a great idea, they did say they are often throwing things back and forth to each other (and sometimes not with good aim).

I love the theme day, too! These are great - some more "share-able" than others, of course. And most heeelarious! cuts of meat? learn to be a cobbler? That's so funny.

I do think the charity drive is my favorite, though. You guys are so creative! Thanks for working on this task for me! I will share most of them with my boss, she'll appreciate it!

Oh, and what the heck is that one picture that looks like it is a phallic pinata?

Hey Tingle! You need to click on the pictures (I added a note at the top of the post for others). Click on the pinata one and you'll find it is, indeed, a pinata phallus. There's actually a site called "Adult Pinatas." It was amazing what I came across when I was just trying to find photos for this entry! It was really fun, thanks for your comments!

I can't believe there's a place for adult pinatas! That's amazing! I wish I would have thought of that!

Great job. My favorite picture is the sign language--how cool was it to find that phrase written in sign language...absolutely perfect. And I really liked the pinata too...we do a good job with assignments!

Lil Cherie--some kind of weird logging in issue again!
