Not what she had in mind, I'm sure!


Symfully Sweet Saturday



I'm pretty sure when Sami over at Symmetry in Motion , came up with the Tootsie Roll as the first candy for her new blog party the first thing that came to her mind was not the same thing that came to mine!

I'll be honest, I don't like Tootsie Rolls. At. All. Actually they almost gag me. I don't like their color, smell, shape and especially their taste. I was however born in 1970 so I have had my fair share of Tootsie Pops. Seriously, what 10 year old back in the day didn't want to find how many licks it took to get the center! I would lick and lick and lick but being the extremely impatient person that I am I would always end up biting the cherry sucker off by lick 12 and throwing that nasty brown goo away.

As a result of my distaste for the Tootsie Roll my girls don't care for them either. It may be because I've never brought them in the house, those and brussel sprouts have never crossed the threshold, but whatever! I always knew when they got a Tootsie Roll when trick or treating. They would turn towards me with a huge sigh, heavy shoulders and trudge back to the sidewalk where I stood waiting, " great another stinking Tootsie Roll". Tootsie Rolls and Popcorn balls, yep those two things got them every time!

Anyway, the first thing that came to mind when Sami announced the Tootsie Roll was the song from 69 Boyz....Let me see your Tootsie Roll, your Toostsie Roll....then I immediately thought of Peanut and her ummm, shall we say unique style of dancing. I told her about this new blog party and asked if she would be willing to help me out. Of course she said yes. Her very protective big sister however wasn't nearly as enthusiastic as we were and was fearful people will think poorly of me us once they viewed the video. I hope you're wrong Honey, I hope you're wrong!

So here is my Symfully Sweet Saturday {yes, I know it's Sunday} project. Sami herself said that this is "Not your everyday candy-a$$ competition" so being true to who I am here's my video and there is nothing candy-a$$ about it!

This CRACKED ME UP!!! SO funny! It was definitely an original idea, and THAT is what my game is all about. I really can't wait to see what you come up with in October!
