Superhero Sundae

I don't care if it DOES look like Play-Doh; eatin' Superhero Sundae makes me feel like a hero!

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Saturday to you!

Well, ya know, I am a connoisseur of ice creams, and when I find one I really like for whatever reason, I am an enthusiastic ambassador for that ice cream!

Now, it's easy to love Black Cherry and Butter Pecan.  Chocolate, of course.  Rocky Road...

It is NOT, however, so easy to convince the Big People in my life that the brightly-colored Superhero Sundae is the height of delicious.  Daddy says that it looks like somebody mixed up a buncha different Play-Doh colors, and it doesn't sound like he means that like a compliment.  And he won't even hear about the deliciousness of the bubblegum flavoring.

I tell Daddy that perhaps he isn't the intended audience for such deliciousness.  He contends that nobody should be the intended audience for bubblegum-flavored, brightly-colored ice cream, because such things are an abomination.

I just think that people forget how to be fun, once they grow up, and that's reflected in their less-than-interesting tastes in ice cream.  I'm not tryin' to pick a fight with any of ya, Friends.  I'm just making an observation.

Anyways, I'm gonna go enjoy some Superhero Sundae.  I don't care if I'm the only one who likes it.  That means there's more for me!  You go eat your Plain Milk flavored ice cream, or whatever it is you like.  I love ya just the same, and I'll see ya tomorrow!  Muah!

Karaoke Party!

All I need is a microphone and a great instrumental track, and I'll be a STAR!

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Friday to you!

Well, ya know, at St. Laffalotatus- Mercy-Mercy Hospital, where I am a Doctor of Humorous Healing, we like to celebrate the small things and the big things, and today's no exception!

Today, we're celebrating the First Friday of the New Year, and to do so, we're havin' a hospital-wide karaoke party!

Back when I was a Little Kid and didn't know any better, like a month ago or so, I thought Karaoke was a new hospital employee named Carrie Oakey.  So the last time we had a Karaoke Party, I had banners made, and ordered balloons and confetti and cake to welcome Carrie Oakey.

Imagine how embarrassed I was to find out that there's no person named Carrie Oakey, and even if there were, she doesn't work at St. Laffalotatus- Mercy-Mercy Hospital.

Oopsies.

Now I know what Karaoke is all about, and I am AMAZING at it!  All I need is a microphone and a great instrumental track, and I am off to the races! 

I better go warm up my voice, Friends!  Do some scales and some tongue-twisters and such, so I can really shine when it's my turn to sing at the karaoke party!  It really lifts the spirits!

I love ya lots, Big People!  I'll see ya tomorrow!  Muah!

Mini-Makeup Artist, Maximum Makeup Artistry!

Maybe I'm born with it... maybe it's my marvelous makeup kit!

Hiya, Big People!

Well, ya know, a few weeks back, I was given the gift of a makeup kit.  It's a beautiful rainbow train-case with a rainbow of makeup colors inside!

Of course, there are peachy-pinks and subdued siennas, but what really draws my eyes and my makeup brushes to it is the bright blue eyeshadow.  The bright pink blush.  The glittery red mascara.  The shiny pink lip gloss.

Friends, if you're gonna go to all the trouble to put on a face of makeup, my belief is that you oughtta go all the way and apply the brightest, most vibrant colors you can, so people know you did your makeup!

Blending and blending your hard work away so you look "natural" is the olden days way of doing things.  If I have anything to say about the Future of Makeup, it'll be make it as obvious as possible!  Let that color announce itself and speak for ya!

I have some practicin' to do, Friends!  But I'll see ya tomorrow!  I love ya lots!  Muah!

The Christmas Tree-n-Me!

The tree is so pretty and shiny, and I'm having trouble letting go of it!

Hiya, Friends!

Well, even though Christmas was a week and a half ago, my Christmas tree is still up.  This does not make me feel like an underachieving loser.  On the contrary, it makes me so happy.

You see, I love my Christmas tree.  There are so many lights on it.  Mommy lets me pick what colors the lights are going to be, and I always pick some kind of rainbow light show.  Seems to me the Christmas lights could just stay up, flashing their colorful and non-holiday-specific lights at the living room, indefinitely.  I think that would just be wonderful!

Alas, though, I understand we'll be taking down the tree and packing the lights away for another year this weekend.  I suppose it's gotta be done, so that the Christmas tree feels special when we get it back out and decorated at the end of November.  I suppose the lights could use an eleven-month rest after working around the clock during the Christmas Season.

But I'm not gonna lie, Friends.  I'm havin' a hard time letting go.  The older I get, the more I understand why you Big People wish you could just stop time every once in a while. 

Anyways, I'm gonna go enjoy the Christmas tree today, while it's still up and shining and glittering all its bright colors.  I'll figure out a way to sparkle up the rest of the month, but for right now, I wanna get my eyes fulla those Christmas lights, so I can keep the Christmas spirit in my heart until the Christmas season rolls around again. 

I love ya lots, Friends!  I'll be seein' ya tomorrow!  Muah!

Congratulations, Me!

I posted a post every day last year!  How about that?

Well, hiya, Big People!  Happy Tuesday to you!

So!  How's it goin'?  How's Two-Thousand Seventeen treatin' ya?

I'll tell ya what I've been up to, Friends.  I've been lookin' at my sidebar, where it shows how many posts I post each month.  Something I learned that I did in 2016 is that I posted a post here on the dang ol' The Daily Zoe Blog every single day last year, even Leap Day!  So I have 366 posts from last year that I did!

Mystifying!

It seems like quite an accomplishment.  I know that some days, I have more to say than I do on other days, but it really makes every day, when I know I've stopped in to check on you, and when you've stopped in to check on me. 

So I'm gonna try to make sure I finish 2017 in the same fashion.  With a post every day.  I'm going to Kindergarten in the fall.  There's lots of new and unknown things I'll be doing, Friends.  But right now, I'm gonna set out to try to look in on ya every day.  That's my goal.  No sense of me gettin' too far ahead of myself, you know?  That just seems like a good way to make myself all jumpy and nervous and fulla anxiety.  Nobody likes to be like that!

Well, really, none of us knows what the year is gonna bring for any of us!  We can think we know.  We can have a plan.  And then everything can just go all floopedy-doopity on ya and change everything.  One day at a time, one post at a time.  That's how I'm gonna approach this New Year and all the New Unknown Things I'll be experiencin'!

Anyways, Friends, I'll definitely see ya tomorrow!  I love ya right to pieces!  You be good, mmmkay?  Muah!

Stars!

My entertainment's written in the stars!

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Monday to you!

Well, ya know, I think I pretty much have a thing for stars and programs about them.  Of course, I've been watching Miles from Tomorrowland since it came out in the Disney Channel.  It's about a family of star explorers.  And of course, I like Jet, Set, Go! on PBS.  That's a neat show.

I think where I really decided that I'm a fan of the stars is a galaxy far, far away.  Star Wars.  I've seen ALL the movies.  The original trilogy, the prequels, and Episode Seven.  I've seen Rogue One.  I watch Star Wars Lego Freemakers, and Star Wars Rebels.  I watch the Droid stories.

And.  Yesterday, I watched the Star Trek Voyager marathon!  I love Star Trek, too!  How about that?!

So, Friends, my entertainment is written in the stars.  That's something!

I love ya lots, Friends!  I'll see ya tomorrow!  Muah!

Happy New Year, Friends!

Live from the Future, it's your pal Zoe!

Hiya, Big People!  Happy Sunday to you! 

Well, here we are in 2017!  Can ya believe it? 
You might have noticed that I got to you five hours early today, right at the stroke of midnight!  I wanted to be the first to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! to ya!

Boyo boy.  2017!  I'd ask ya what your New Years Resolutions are, but that really isn't my style.  I'm a livin' in the moment kinda gal.

But I can tell ya some big things I'm gonna do this year in my life.  First off, I'll probably lose a couple more teeth.  I'm gonna visit Wisconsin in the summer.  I start kindergarten in the fall.  I'll be turnin' six.

It's gonna be a busy year!  Things will change a lot, but I'm not gonna get ahead of myself and get my stomach all tied up in knots about it!

One thing I definitely resolve NOT to do is ride my bike off the couch and break my arm again.  That is something I've done in 2016, and I do NOT want to do it again this year!

Friends, it's New Year!  I hope ya have a happy one.  Usually when I sign off my blog posts, I'm off to do big, excitin' things during the day, but since it's midnight, and I got to stay up to watch the New Year roll in, I've gotta tell ya, I'm headin' to bed.  I'm probably gonna start the New Year off, sleepin' right the heck in a little bit.  That's okay.  You probably oughtta get yourself to bed, too.  Get some rest. 

I love ya lots, Big People!  I'll see ya tomorrow!  Muah!
