Ummmm.....

Well, apparently I've been too busy to post in a couple days.  Not really sure what I've been doing, but I feel like I've been busy.  I'm excited to say that today is the 1 week anniversary of this blog!  That's right folks, a whole week!  Hopefully I'll find something more fun to post about soon, I feel bad for the people who are reading this and are thinking this is incredibly boring.  I swear, through out my day, I come up with some funny stuff, but for some reason it doesn't translate well into this.

I was however just looking around on the internet and came across this picture from a stupid criminals site.

First of all, why on earth is this persons underwear on the roof?  I'll be a nice person and give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that it's because they like changed or something up there, but really, if you knew it was there, why didn't you just take it when you took the rest of your clothes?  And if it is the case that you forgot them, how did it happen 4 times?!?!

Now, not only did they leave 4 pairs of underwear on their roof, but they have told the world they have crabs.  I'd be more worried about the fact that no one is going to look at you the same way, than being upset with the person that was so pathetic they had to steal underpants.

I'm actually a little worried for this person.  They're so concerned with dirty underwear missing that it seems they have over looked the fact that someone was on their roof!!  Unless Santa stole them, I think there's a bigger problem here!  Maybe they should keep leaving dirty skivvies on their roof because if that's all that's missing it seems to be a good theft deterrent.

Well, at least this person can rest assured that when he hears news of someone falling off a roof in possession of some dirty undergarments, he'll know that Karma caught up with the thief!!

Ok, I'll leave you with this for now.

Kill Them with Kindness


Today's topic is from a friend.  It's about inconsiderate people.  I'm a generally nice person.  A "Silver lining" person if you will, but inconsiderate people just burn my biscuits! 

You know the kind of people I'm talking about.. the ones that see you only have like 3 things in your grocery cart and a fussy kid, but instead of letting you go first as you arrive at the same time to check out, they speed up those last few steps to jump in front of you...  Here's a way to get back at them: Take away the toy your kid is playing with.  That will teach them when they see what they have to listen to while checking out their heaping cart of groceries!

Here's another example.  The inconsiderate co-worker... These are the people who you help out when they need it but when you need something from them they're "too busy".  Here's an example: They work in a customer based position and you have a desk position that takes care of the paperwork end.  So when they're busy out on the floor, you get up and go help them catch up on all their work.  Then when you go back to work they don't even have the decency to bring you the item they are supposed to get to you as a part of their job!  Like seriously, you can't walk the 8 feet over to me to bring me the paper you are supposed to?  It's  a little harder to get back at these types... some sort of prank is usually in order here.

Then there's the inconsiderate neighbor...  These are the neighbors that are constantly doing something that gets on your nerves.  This could be something as silly as parking right at the edge of your driveway everyday, to having a dog that barks all day, to arguing so often and so loud that you can hear them with your windows closed.  It's hard to get back at these people a lot of the time because you don't want to disrupt the chemistry of the neighborhood, but I do have something for dealing with the neighbors that fight... For example, lets just say they are always fighting about forgetting to do the garbage.  When you see the neighbor in passing and you exchange your "Hi's" and waves, as you're about to walk in the house just finish up your small talk with "Alrighty, I'll talk to you later.  Oh, and don't forget it's garbage night."  Just enough of a comment to catch them off guard.  

There's so many other types of inconsiderate people to get into on here, but my best advise is to kill them with kindness... It really ticks them off!  ;)

Hope you all have a great night!!

Two of a kind


Alright, so yesterday I had posted on my facebook  account that I had started a blog.  I posted the link and a few people read it and commented.  One comment in particular reminded me of story from when I was like 19 or 20.

 I used to go with my friends to Niagara Falls for weekend getaways all the time.  One weekend we were feeling pretty confident and decided to go get tattoos.  There were three of us and two of us knew our moms would go nuts if they found out.  Being late teens early 20's we went ahead and did it anyway.   The two of us got our tattoos but had them done where they could be easily hidden with our clothes (kinda defeats the purpose of the tattoo)... anyway... We were able to go for months without our parents seeing them!  I had only gotten a small butterfly that was about as big as a quarter, and she had gotten a little bit of a bigger one.  We both got them on our hips down far enough to be hidden by our pants.  Well, one day when my mom and I were arguing (which was a multiple times a day event at that point in time) she was upset with me for something so I said well, then I might as well show you this, and turned around and pulled my pants down far enough for her to see the tattoo! I'm quite surprised I didn't have to call the paramedics for both of us!  I thought for sure she was going to have a heart attack or beat me... either way we were going to need an ambulance.  She froze and then said "that not real is it?"  Needless to say, it didn't go over well and she gave me slack for it for a long time.  Now when my pants fall down or when I bend over I hear "Les, if we can see the butterfly, we can see too much!"

 All this brings me to what happened about a month or so ago.  My daughter and I were getting ready for showers in the bathroom and I had my back to her.  I had on pajama pants on and she was tugging on the waist of them so the butterfly was showing.  Her reaction was priceless!!  She gasped and says "Mommy, you have a butterfly on your butt!!"  Then she proceeded to try to wipe it off and tell me she had to get it off of there.  She really didn't ask me anything about it and it has since gone out of her mind, but I still get a kick out of it.

 My mom always used to say during those arguing days that she wishes I'd have one just like me... Well, this little girl seems to be a lot like me, so I think my mom got her wish! That's ok though, I think in the long run I turned out good, so that means that if I'm just like my mom, I'll have a good one too!!!

Wow, Learn how to use a computer Les...


Apparently I don't know how to use the app for this on my phone because I deleted my last post.  I'm going to repost it in a little bit since my hubby was awesome enough to leave the page open on his iPad.  Until I get up the energy to go and get the iPad, I'll leave you with this...

Tonight at dinner, my not even 3 year old said some funny stuff.  She's sitting there, looking at the drink menu and says "come on, take a load off."  No idea where she heard that one!  Then, we get our drinks and she leans on the table and says "So, what's on your mind?"  There was something else, but neither of us can remember it right now.  

Ok, maybe I'll get some ambition to re-post the one I deleted.  If not, I'll do it in the morning tomorrow.

what's in a name??


I finally did it!  I've been thinking and talking about starting a blog for a long time now but never really got around to doing it.  I guess it's taken so long because I could never decide what I wanted to make it about.  Then it came to me... it can be about everything.

For those of you who know me (probably all of you), you know that I'm sometimes a tad bit on the flighty side.  This is going to be my official disclaimer.  I have no general direction in which to take this thing so there's probably going to be a million thoughts on different subjects happening daily.  With that all being said, lets get into it shall we??

First off, I should tell you guys about myself (if there is anyone reading that doesn't know me).  I'm a 31 year old stay at home mother of a soon to be 3 year old.  I've been married for almost 7 years (our anniversary is in 7 days) to my hubby.  He teaches 7/8 grade science and plays semi-pro football for our local team. 

So, to tell you about the name Piglie Piles...  When my husband and I were first dating he made the observation that I am a messy person lol.  He would always tell me that I reminded him of Pigpen and eventually just started calling me piglie.  To this day, this is his loving nickname for me and has pretty much become my handle for everything.  This is why I decided to go with Piglie Piles.  I figure that all these thoughts that roll around in my head all day are my "thought piles". Hubby would tell you otherwise though.  He claims that I leave little "piglie piles" everywhere I go because I'm so messy.  

So, when I started asking people what I should write about, I got a bunch of people who all said the same thing... my cakes...  
Making cakes is one of my favorite things to do.  Actually, let me rephrase that... One of my favorite things to do is decorate cakes.  I'm not so much a fan of the baking.  I'm not an artist by any means, but somehow I've made some pretty cool cakes if I do say so myself (toot! toot!).  Recently I've been very into making sugar flowers.  They are so fun and look so real!  I never in a million years thought that I would be making these creations for my friends and family.  Honestly, this kind of thing wasn't even on my radar.  Now, it's all I think about.  Here are some samples:


 I made this for my bother in laws 30th birthday... Tool box

 one of my sugar flowers... stargazer lilly

 more sugar flowers... pansys

 glow in the black light birthday cake

 Monkey 1st birthday cake

 different types of decorating on cupcakes

 very first wedding cake I did
 fun topsy turvy cake.  it had little swords in the top too

Well, I suppose that if you've made it this far, I should congratulate you... CONGRATULATIONS!!  You've officially made it to the end of my first entry!  I'm sure there will be more later today when I'm bored or have seen something I have an opinion on...

Until then...
