Proof That Boss Is Cheating On Me

So Boss says it just happened by accident.  But I have the proof on video, yes I do.

Boss says she was just going to look at the most beautifulest and most amazingness desk at the Stamp-n-Storage place.  But I saw what happened, yes I did.

It was not the plan, says Boss.  The camera crew was not supposed to be there.  But Boss certainly looks happy.

Boss says she was not even saying real words when this was being filmed but I now know that Boss has been with other dogs.  And it will cost her a lot of pepperoni to make it all better between us.  A LOT.  Like, more than three.  Possibly five.  Yes, five!

Boss says that the part with her in it only lasts like 2 seconds and that this video is really all about the ohmigorgeous Stamp-n-Storage desk.  Boss says that there is really a long story that goes with this and that it would better if she could explain it and then I would not be feeling so peckish.  That might be true, but I will be thanking the Stamp-n-Storage peoples for letting me know that Boss is easily distracted by cute little dogs.  Furthermore, I have some sad puppy eyes to make now so I will not be having the kind of time it takes to listen to stories and write them out for you.  Anything for the pepperoni, yes?  And possibly a cupcake.  I am awesomeness like that!  Yes I am.

Boss Spends Ridiculous Amounts of Time Painting Things That Were Perfectly Fine Already

Actually, to be the "honesty" word here, Big One did all the painting.  Apparently Boss has Big One convinced that she is unable to use spray paint and so needs a man people.  I do not understand how she managed to convince Big One that spray paint is a very difficultness thing to do, but she did it.  And I saw the fist pump that Boss did after she said the "are you sure" words and the "wow, you are fantastic" words and the "maybe I will make some brownies" words.  Big One did not see the fist pump but he saw the tight shirt of Boss and heard the "brownie" word and of course took the wood things out to the shop and used the spray paint.  I am incredulousness at all of this but it appears that all of my peoples are happy so I am not going to be all judgement upon them.

If you are wondering what perfectly fine thing Boss needed painting, you might remember that Boss is a big fan of Stamp-n-Storage and has some of their wood organizer things for the scrappy stuffses that Boss has entirely too much of.  Boss has a decorative tape holder and a Distress ink holder that she made me blather on and on and ON about before (you can read that nonsense here).  Boss also has three half-height shelves (which maybe would make one-and-a-half full-height shelves but Boss says it does not work that way and will not be impressed at my mathiness) and two paper holders.  I know, right?  Ridiculousness.  And what is more ridiculousness is that Boss knew she wanted to paint them but did not do this right away.  So then she had to put everything in a big messy pile and do the painting thing in the wrong order.  Perhaps it was because she knew that there was no brownie mix in the house?  I will be betting that this is what the issue was.  This actually makes sense.

This is the floor of the shop of Big One.  He actually makes lots of things different colors with spray paint in this spot.  It is edgy and urban says Boss.  I say it is sloppy and stupid, but I am just a dog.  Oh, and Boss wishes to point out that the Distress ink holder from Stamp-n-Storage has dividers that come out easy if you want to trick your man peoples to paint them for you.  Just saying.
After the half-height shelves were painted, Boss put glue and fabric and more glue on top of them!  Yes, that is right.  If Big One sees this, he will be sadness that all the effort he put into painting these things was covered by girly fabric things.  What?  Oh.  He does not care, he says.  He is eating brownies and is great happiness.
The half-height shelves and the decorative tape holder thing from Stamp-n-Storage.  Do not be fooled by the words "decorative tape holder".  It is a washi tape holder.  Not impressed, are you?  No, I am not either.  Washi is ridiculousness and I will not be forgetting all the trouble I got into when I tasted only a small roll of washi.  It was not that good.  I do not understand why Boss was so angriness at me.  It is not like she was going to miss that one stupid roll or eat it herself.
Now Boss has trimmed off the extra fabric and put the shelves of half-height onto her table.  And has used an artistic angle in the photo.  I think it must be edgy and urban.  Or not.
Here is the good stuff of Boss all put back onto her shelf things.  Yes, Boss went shopping for coordinating boxes and baskets and other things that make my head hurt.  I CAN NOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO WRITE THIS NONSENSE.  SOMEONE CALL THE SPCA!!!!! 
Okay, this is the shelf that sits right in front of Boss.  I am all calmed down now.  I got pepperoni!  Yes, I did!  I am a good dog!  Yes, I am!  So I will be all happiness about telling you about the note paper, the favorite adhesive of Boss, a dancing flower from friend-the-deadly, paper clips, the favorite punch of Boss, and three boxes of various and numerous and multiplicitous journaling spots... and tags... and other things to write on.  Boss uses these things the mostest, so they are the closest.  This is something called "lean manufacturing" and Boss learned these somewhere-not-here, and it means making scrapbooking easier or some such nonsense.
This is the next shelf thing over.  Boss can still reach this stuffses, and uses these things often, but not on every pretty-paper-picture-page.  They are candy from friend-the-deadly (Boss says she appears to be quite nice but is actually quite scariness and dangerous), a book that friend-the-gazelle taught Boss to make, the tasty lip gloss, stapler, tape, and timer thing on the top.  On the next level down is glue dots, pop dots, and the make-anything-you-want-into-a-sticker-but-the-head-of-the-bat-crazy-cat-will-not-fit-no-matter-how-hard-you-try thing, and pens.  Pens which I am not allowed to touch at all.  No matter how tasty they are.  Then on the bottom of all this nonsense is small bang-the-hammer-loud things, a foamie thing, and small boxes of whatever.  I am tired of this caption.
A close up.  Oh, I forgot the pink rock.  Not tasty.
So this is the decorative tape holder thing that really is just a shrine for washi from Stamp-n-Storage.  If they only knew how craziness Boss was about this, they would not have made this and Boss would stop being so giddy all the time.  I have very sensitive ears and the squealing is excessive and over the top and too much and enough already.
Boss makes an urban and edgy camera shot again.
And another urban and edgy camera shot.  Of washi.  Come ON, peoples.  I mean, really???  Oh wait.  Boss says to see two things.  Boss says to see the pretty fabric.  Boss also says to see how nicely the washi sticks to the front of the shelf.  The paint is apparently marvelousness for this.  I am rolling my eyes.  I really, really am.

Boss is a Fan of Organizing

Boss is very very very excited right now.  She is making happy squealing noises and it is not just because she found where she hid the very good white chocolate she got for Christmas.  Boss is super happy because Big One has made sawdust everywhere in her room!  Yes, for real.  And Big One told her to have fun cleaning it up and then he walked away and Boss let him live!!!  I know!!!  This is epic crazy insanely odd!

But Boss will get all forgiving like this when the "organizing" words are used.  And if Big One helps her, Boss gets even more happy and forgiving and is inclined to make popcorn for no reason because it means that the power tools are being used and big things are happening.  Even if I get a little scared of the noise of the power tools.  Well.  I am maybe pretending to be scared because I am not a teacup chihuahua and weak and helpless and shivering under the nearest bed because of a little power tool noise.  I am only pretending to be scared to take advantage of the popcorn.

So Boss and Big One have been putting shelves and organizers in the scraproom of Boss.  And Boss is super duper extra excited that the washi tape holder and this new organizer of the ink things are now ON THE WALL.  I am not that excited about it, but that is how Boss is talking about it.  She gets louder and happier when she says ON THE WALL and then I come out from under the bed because I think she is talking to me but she is not.  She is only very excited about the holder things that she got from Stamp-n-Storage.  She is now going on and on and on about actually being super happy that the Stamp-n-Storage place is near here and she can go there and see all the cool power tools working and making more stuff that she needs and that they can hang ON THE WALL.

Boss is pretty much a girly girl but she does like the power tools.  She can have them.

The new shelves and the washi tape holder and this new organizer of the ink things and all of the other things that Boss is really really really excited about having out.  Boss has been listing all of these things to anyone who will listen so I have it memorized already.  So... here are all the things Boss is happy about having out:  soldering iron, mists, date stamps, glitter, chalk inks, Distress inks, regular inks, Versamark ink (enough with the ink already), craft mat, embossing powder, heat gun, light, stamp cleaner, and lightbox.  And maybe white chocolate, but that is not in this picture.
The tasty washi tape!  Actually, I do not care for it, but this new cat enjoys pulling the tape and eating it.  Boss is not thrilled about this.
The ink things that make Boss giggle.  I do not understand this.
Boss uses some washi tape.  It is not an accident that she is using the math tape.  Math is coolness.
Boss shows how easy it is to take ink things out of the holder of ink things.  Almost like it was designed for ink things.  (This is the "sarcasm" word.  I am working on this new word.  It is fun!)  This holder is meant to only hold Distress ink but Boss was never very good at following instructions.  And she says the Stamp-n-Storage people will never know.

Washi Tape: Not A Fan

I am doing the words "under protest" today.  These are the words that are used when Boss says she wants a blog post about washi tape and how wonderful it is and I do not want to because I do not think washi tape is wonderful and in fact tastes terrible and then Boss puts her hands on her hips and gives me the frowny forehead face and reminds me where the delicious treats and bones come from.

Why we are now suddenly talking about the farm supply store down the road is a mystery to me, but I think Boss is feeling very emphatic about me writing a blog post about washi tape even if I do not want to so I will be doing the "under protest" words and moving on.

Boss also says this blog post will be easy to write because I can do the "shout out" words. "Shout out" is where you just copy a link to somewhere else and claim that you have done a blog post.  But I am a dog of integrity and will not be doing the "shout out" words.

What?  Oh.  Yes.  I will be doing the "shout out" words after all because Boss has become quite emphatic and has progressed from having a frowny forehead face to having an angry face and is also using words like "losing internet privileges" at me.  So maybe the "shout out" words are acceptable after all because I have already written a lot of words for this blog post and I have not copied any of these words from anywhere.

So Boss loves washi tape and describes it as "delicious" and "yummy" when it most certainly is not.  Most of the washi tape that Boss has comes from a place called Moose Art.  It is a shop on Etsy and I looked at it and I do not see mooses or art about mooses, so Moose Art most certainly is not who they claim to be.  You are maybe understanding why I did not want to write this blog post in the first place.  And Boss puts all of her washi tape in a holder like this one made by Stamp-n-Storage.  Finally, something that actually does make sense! Well, not the washi tape.  But Stamp-n-Storage is really a place that is what it says it is.  Which is why I am actually happy doing a "shout out" word to them.  And I am also happy to point out that the pictures that are used on that link has the hand of Boss in it!  (And the washi tape of Boss, but I am not excited about that.)  Yes!  Boss is famous and on the internet now!!!  Boss points out that The ScrapRoom stuff is also on the internet so she has been out there a little while now but I point out back that Stamp-n-Storage has her actual hand on the internet and not just pretty-paper-picture-story pages and then Boss replies that those pretty-paper-picture-story pages have her whole self shown on some of them and then I decide to not try to get the "last words" word and decide to move on.  And be done with this post.
The pink washi tape that Boss loves.  And I do not.  For many reasons.  Really, really not a fan.
