HELP!
As you may have noticed, we haven't been writing on here as much as we normally do. Like I said in the last post, we are experiencing the pain of having a mental block, AGAIN. We've been having quite a few lately, and I think it's because we've been writing for so long and we are running out of ideas to entertain you. We've been writing for about 8 months now.
Basically what I (Jalapeno) am asking is to send us in ideas to our email, chipotleandjalapeno@gmail.com. We need you help extremely bad. Plus, if you don't have an idea, you can always send us an email just to say "Hi", or anything like that. Even a little bit of support can inspire us with ideas to write more and more.
Have a nice weekend,
Chipotle and Jalapeno

Our Fictional Lives
Me and Chipotle have reached another Mental Block in our writing career, and you know what that means: nothing to write. But we have came up with a brilliant idea that we think you will like. A couple of days a week (whenever we get inspired) we will write a fictional diary thing that will make this blog seem like a real blog. A real blog is where people say what they are doing, how they feel, etc. Our blog isn't like that, as you know- we write about whatever interests us. Anything. You really can't summarize our blog- you can only really say we are random bloggers that write whatever we feel like writing. So what we have decided to do was to actually make this a real blog- well, a part time blog. Part of the time we will be writing about our fictional lives, the other part, the original idea of this blog: anything random.
What we mean by fictional lives is this: our lives are wayyyy to boring, and if we wrote about it, you would be asleep within a couple sentences! So we are going to be writing about a fictional day, which means we are going to write fake stories about what is happening in our lives. We will make it interesting and addicting! Does this make any sense?
With Love and Spice,
Chipotle and Jalapeno

Pygmy Marmoset
Pygmy Marmosets are the world's littlest monkeys and they are so adorable!
http://www.wildzoofari.com/animals/pygmy-marmoset/
Pygmy Marmosets are one of the world’s smallest monkeys. A Pygmy Marmoset could easily fit into an area the size of an adult human’s hand. These tiny primates differ from other monkeys in several ways. Pygmy Marmosets use calls which sound like birds. Some are call are so high pitched, humans can’t hear them. They also use their sharp teeth to bite into living trees and get at the tree sap and tree gum. Also, unlike many monkey species Pygmy Marmosets have a furless face, making them very easy to identify.
They Eat:
Sap, tree gum, insects, flowers and fruit

Short Story
Bland Life
A Short Story
He always had a far away look. It was disappointment, depression, and worry. It was hard to think or even have a good mood when someone like that is around you all the time. It really makes you think and make you feel blessed to have certain things others don't.
Mr. Cooler was a widowed man who has a daughter named Piper. Mr. Cooler lived in solitude. He went to the store alone. He drove to work alone. He did everything a person does alone. Piper was a girl who was not ugly, but not pretty. She wore plain colors and had plain medium white skin with medium blond hair. She was medium everything. Her father was a tall thin man with gray hair and a gray mustache. He wore big black glasses and a suit everyday. They were always in their small lonely world.
Mrs. Cooler died in a car wreck. She was 41 and Piper was 16 months old. Mrs. Cooler was the glue to their family. Supposedly they were one of the more popular families. They went to parties and out to eat with other families and had full schedules, but when she died the Cooler family's life went gray like Mr. Cooler's hair. Their lives were ruined. They spent their free time siting at home reading or drawing. They had no TV and never wished for one.
In case you are wondering, Mr. Cooler is my teacher. His classroom is as dull and gray as his life. He teaches math. He makes it easy to understand, but boring. He has a bland voice, bland face, bland attitude. Sometimes you see the old him come out and he smiles. He has the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen in my life. His face gets color and he has dimples and he looks like someone you would want to know.
“So next you want to-”
“-Mr. Cooler...I don't get it.” Bill Watson interrupts the lesson again. He's not that bright.
“Billie-”
“Bill”
“Bill, you know this. I know you do. Let me-”
“How do you know, you're not in my head.”
“Maybe if you didn't interrupt me every second-”
“No I don-”
“You might learn something!”
Bill was silent after that. Lately, Mr. Cooler has been harsh. Something is happening in his life. Everyone wonders about him and why he is so sad and now suddenly harsh.
“Hmm. Hmm. Let me continue.” Mr. Cooler wiggles his mustache when he clears his throat, “So next, like I was saying, you move the-” The bell rings for lunch and Mr. Cooler's face drops more then it was before.
At lunch, I sat with a big group of kids. We always laughed and gossiped and cried and everything else, but this week was silent. Everyone knew something was up. Mr. Cooler probably thought he was hiding his emotion of whatever was going on in his head.
“So,”
I finally break the ice,
“who else thinks something is going on with Mr. Cooler?”
Rebeka Thompson was sitting across from me. She leaned over the table and got close to my face. “Piper's having issues. I don't know what kind.”
“Wait. Issues?”
Rebeka nods very obviously making her ponytail go all over the place.
“Does anyone know anything else?”
I asked looking worried.
“Oh, Lanie, you always are trying to get in everyone else's business. If Mr. Cooler is just going through some sort of mid-life mental breakdown, so be it! It's not our problem.” Rebeka is a snob. She never cared about anyone. If it was not her business she would either ignore it or make things worse by gossiping so I never believe anything she says, but that's not the case for the other girls. They believe it and even if the person the gossip is about disagrees, it's still true.
“I know it's not, but I just hate to see the man so sad and now angry.”
“Oh! Intense. Poor little Lanie. She cares so much about the old man. He'll never be happy...Embrace it. Because it's true.”
All the other girls nod and look at me like I am stupid.
“Sorry. I'm just curious...” I was uber embarrassed.
“Whatever...”
That afternoon I was doing homework and then suddenly I got a wild hair. I sat down at our family computer and looked up the death of Mr. Cooler's wife. “Meredith Cooler dies at age 41. She was a loving mother and wife. On Saturday 7/12/1997. She died of an unknown poisonous substance. She died at the wheel and hit an oncoming car killing Mikaela Higgins who died at age 29.”
I had been lied to. People say she died from the car wreck. Maybe they did not want to get into details, but that makes a huge difference.
Night came and I could not sleep. I toss and turn. Why was this bugging me so much? I must find out what's going on.....Something is fishy.....
“Good morning class.” Mr. Cooler announced, “You are going to have extra homework tonight. I feel like the class needs extra practice before the test tomorrow.” The whole class groaned with disappointment and Mr. Cooler gave us the stink eye. As I was leaving the room for lunch, with the sea of kids, I looked at his desk trying to find if he has anything weird on his desk. I didn't find anything; just a bunch of papers and a pencil cup. “Lanie?” Mr. Cooler said with slight emotion, “Are you OK?” I started to blink really fast like I was just out of it and staring off into the distance, not snooping right in front of him (stupid me). “Um,” I began, “I'm just tired and glazed over.” I smiled and laughed about it, but he did not buy it. He only looked stern and angry. I looked down and ran off.
“You really did that...In front of him!?!”
One of Rebeka's pretty friends, Juliana said at the lunch table,
“That's so crazy what if he like got mad--er...and did something.”
“I know it's crazy, but what would he do?”
I asked worried.
“I don't know...he's crazy what do you think?”
I nodded and looked off. Over standing in the door way of the lunch room was Mr. Cooler looking right at me. I was so scared. I tried to tell the other girl with my eyes, but Rebeka was all like
“What the heck is wrong with you!?! Doing your eyes like that...Sooooo embarrassing.”
That was the last straw!
“NO! Rebeka, look!”
I stood up and pointed over to the door. Mr. Cooler was gone. Of course.
“What's wrong with you? If this weird hang up on Mr. Cooler and whatever you were looking at continues, you'll be sitting somewhere else.”
She lifted one eyebrow to make her statement sting even worse fallowed by a flip of her (fake) bleach blond hair. She was the thing at the school. If she even looked at you, you would be considered blessed. No one payed that much attention to me because I thought not just followed her every move and word. I fought with her and had my own mind. She was wearing a black sweater with skinny jeans. She had on fuzzy boots which her jeans were tucked into and even though we were inside she wore big black, super model sunglasses. They consumed her face. Her hair was up in a tight ponytail. Everyday she had a theme color. Like yesterday was yellow. That was an interesting choice of colors. She never wears anything twice. That's why I felt threatened by her remark.
“I understand, but he was-”
“-I don't care. And next time try putting less dressing on your salad.” She smiled, but it was really evil still. I looked down at my salad and there was pretty much nothing on it.
After school, a girl stood right in front of me before I got onto the bus,
“Um...” I started out, “I need to get by.”
“Sure you do”, the short homely girl said, “but I know what your up to and don't do it any more! That's too dangerous. Rumor is that he drugged his wife and made her got get milk at the store so she would die on the road. He was never found guilty, but he still did it.”
I was worried then. Maybe I was getting in a dangerous situation. Should I just forget about it. Should I just turn around and talk to him....What do I do?
“What do you mean? Are you suggesting I just forget about this whole thing?”
The girl tucked her long black hair behind her ear and exhaled leaving her breath visible on the cold cloudy day. She looked around to make sure people weren't looking,
“More then that. Just pretend you don't know anything. Go straight home and don't talk to anyone!” “OK.” She looked fiercely at me and pointed her mitten covered finger to me, “You didn't hear this from me.” She turned and walked towards the neighborhood across the street from the school and her walk turned into a run.
I walked onto the bus and it felt like everyone was staring at me like I was some freak. My emotions showed on my face as I walked towards a seat away from people, but the bus filled with kids and I got claustrophobic. I was wrapped up in big coats and a scarf and I tugged at them and shifted around uncomfortably. The bus ride felt like 5 hours.
When we got to my stop I ran off the bus towards my house. I flung the front door open and ran towards my bedroom. I shut the door. With my back to the door I slid down and sat. I reached into my backpack and started on homework. As I reached in my back pack I found a note.
Stop What You're Doing
My heart started to pound with fear. I locked my door and my window, shutting the blinds and the curtains. I ran to my bed and looked underneath and looked in my closest. I was safe in my room, but felt like someone was watching me. I looked through my blinds and saw Piper, Mr. Cooler's daughter, walking by my house very slow and calmly. She suddenly stopped and looked right into my eyes. Then she continued walking. I felt like screaming, but I held my mouth shut. Breathing quickly. I hurried towards my door. I unlocked it and ran to my front door making sure it was locked. Then I looked through the peep hole seeing Piper's face. I was silent. She reached for the door trying to open it. It was locked so she gave up. She walked off and away from my house. When she had left my vision I turned around. My mother came out of the kitchen,
“Oh Lanie you're back I guess you snuck in the house.”
“Hi mom.”
“Are you...OK?”
“Yeah. Of course!”
I smiled and walked towards my bedroom “Lots of homework!” I smiled to my mom and she smiled back. As I walked in my bedroom I locked the door and checked the windows again.
In the morning I woke up almost forgetting about the whole Piper thing yesterday. Fear consumed me on the short walk to my bus stop. The wind was strong today and I was in a dress with tights and a long sleeved shirt underneath it. I had a big coat over everything, but I was still chilled.
As I look around there were no kids anywhere. The street seemed empty and cold. It sent shivers up my spine as I felt a very strong wind rush by. I spun around to find Piper standing in the street next to me. I looked down to not believe she was standing there.
“Lanie? Hi...I switched buses because I moved. That's why I was near your house yesterday. I tried to say 'hi', but your door was locked.” Who would just barge in like that and just say “Hi”? But I did the polite rout because I was too freaked out to put up a fight and like Juliana said, you never know with crazy people.
“Oh, well welcome to the neighborhood. Why'd you move so far away from the school?”
“Thank you and we moved to be closer to...other....things.”
“Oh. So I guess I'll be seeing a lot of you then?”
“I suppose so.”
She was standing normally and talking normally. I guess she just didn't know not to walk into people's houses. What if it's just a big misunderstanding?
The bus came around the corner and pulled up next to us. I sat next to her and we talked a little bit about school and how her dad became a teacher. I felt comfortable with her instead of screaming and running away like I wanted to before we got on the bus. She has a pretty smile like her dad and she laughed really sweetly, but people were still scared of her. When child after child loaded on the bus they stared at her in disbelief and sat as far away as they could. She ignored it because I guess she is used to it.
At lunch I decided to sit with Piper. As I sat for a while Rebeka walked up to the table. Her color today was lime green. She wore a green: Sun hat, sunglasses, sweater, tank top, jeans, flip flops (even though it's winter).
“Why are you sitting with this hopeless little...thing? Just leave before anyone sees you!!”
“She's not weird, she's nice. I'm not going to sit with you unless she sits with us too.”
“Nice doesn't matter silly. And no. Sit with us alone or not....At all!”
I shrugged and shook my head no. She looked completely appalled, “Fine then...Don't.”
Later that day Rebeka came up to me in the hall. “Look Lanie. My other friends are boring and you are interesting and fight with me and make me look awesome! OK so dump that loser Piper and come sit at owr table!”
“You know her name?”
“Well.....Everyone knows her name...I mean she's Piper...The freak.”
“You never remember people's names! Not even your own friends.”
She looked down and looked guilty.
“Listen don't tell anyone! Piper and I have a history. When we were little we played together a lot and I thought she was all awesome and everything, but her dad.........”
“What did he do?”
“Nothing to me....But.....Listen, he's not a good man and I don't want you to get hurt. Stay away from Piper please.....”
“Tell me what he did first.”
She ran off to her locker and got her other books for class. Her eyes were full of tiers and she ran off. I knew she was serious when she took off her sunglasses when she talked to me.
I know there is more to this. Plenty. I must figure this out for Rebeka, Piper, and Mrs. Cooler.

How to know if you are a Facebook Addict
From http://www.associatedcontent.com/, here are ways to know if you are addicted to Facebook:
You start losing huge chunks of time and wonder where on Earth the day went.
You find yourself making up lies about what you "did all day" to compensate for all those lost hours.
Your house is getting messier as the weeks go by and you have no clean laundry.
You are one of the few people who uses the Facebook chat option.
You can't stop nagging other reasonable people to join Facebook. Like teenage peer pressure, it's o.k. for you to do it as long as others are doing it as well.
You call into work sick because you just came across all of your old photos and have a ton of scanning and tagging to do.
You visit sites and articles that list the reasons you are addicted to Facebook.
You invite someone you can't stand to be your friend because you simply must know what they are up to or because you simply cannot miss out on anything.
Getting angry at people who didn't wish you a Happy Birthday because "C'mon...it's on Facebook!...There is no excuse for forgetting!"
Instead of looking forward to your vacation, you are more worried about what you are going to miss on your computer while you are gone. Which then leads to....
Completely changing your cell phone plan and your cell phone because your current one doesn't have access to Facebook.
You have to pretend you don't know someone when meeting them for the first time, yet you know their deepest, darkest secrets thanks to a mutual friends' pages.
You only check your email to see if you have an update on Facebook.
You suddenly have 200 emails in your inbox and they are all Facebook updates. Which then leads to...
Spending two hours going through each email making sure you didn't miss anything when you checked your profile page. Which then leads to....
Feeling horrendously guilty that you didn't immediately respond to a comment someone left for you 2 days ago. How could you possibly have missed it?
You get insane if your friend number drops and you go crazy trying to figure out who deleted you.
Your usual bedtime is now two hours later than it has been in years.
As soon as you meet someone the first thing you do is go home and "Facebook" them.
Not having access to someone else's profile can push you over the edge. Which then leads to...
You must chat with everybody currently online the same time as you.
Ha! I hope you aren't a Facebook Addict. It is very easy to become one- with all the stuff you can do on Facebook, it is easy for the hours to fly by. Speaking of Facebook, why don't you Become A Fan (Now, they call it "like", but we like "Become A Fan" better!) of us on there? We love to hear from our readers, and it is very supporting when we do! Thank you! :)

Cucumbers
1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.
2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.
4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.
5 Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!
6.. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!
7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.
8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.
9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!
10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.
11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.
12. Looking for a new way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.
13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!
Pass this along to everybody you know who is looking for better and safer ways to solve life's everyday problems..

Aww!
A three-year-old walked up to a pregnant lady while waiting with his Mother in the doctor’s office.
He inquisitively asked the lady, “Why is your stomach so big?”
She replied, “I’m having a baby.”
With big eyes, he asked, “Is the baby in your stomach?”
She answered, “He sure is.”
Then the little boy, with a puzzled look, asked, “Is it a good baby?”
She said, “Oh, yes. It’s a real good baby.”
With an even more surprised and shocked look he asked,”Then why did you eat him?”

Life
If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won’t survive the week.
If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.
If you attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change
in a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare.
If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.
If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them
or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can
offer God’s healing touch.
If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.
You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know.

Tip 1: When you play a game like Farmville on FB and you want to succeed and get to a high level, you should work on it a little bit every day about 20 mins. or less will do. Make your crops 1 Day or 12 Hours so you just go on the same time every day and work a bit on your farm. It doesn't take long and it gets you far!
Tip 2: Double check your spelling because you can't edit your comments or posts. If you post a comment and delete it to fix your spelling mistakes it will still send an email to the person who posted.

30 Books Of The Bible Answers/Results
We have our winner for the 30 Books Of The Bible puzzle we posted last Wednesday! Her name is Leslie Longstreth from New York, New York. She sent us an email with the answers to the puzzle about 5 hours after we published it, and 5 hours seems like a long time, but really, its fast. The puzzle usually takes a person 2-3 days to finish, so really, thats pretty significant. In Leslie's email, she writes, "I love your blog and I always try in participate in the contests if I have the time. I love doing puzzles like cross-words and word finds, so when I saw that that was on a post, I was excited. I thought 'Even if I don't get first place, I will still have enjoyed trying it.' So I grabbed my Bible and looked through the Table Of Contents for books in the puzzle. I worked on it non-stop for a long time. When I was finished, I couldn't believe I got it all done. It was fun. Will you start publishing more puzzles?"
Thanks Leslie! We will now show you the answers. But just in case you didn't finish it and you are still working on it, we will only tell you what books are in the puzzle, but not where you find them. Here are the books, in order:
Amos
Mark
Luke
John
Joel
Judges
Job
Hebrews
Esther
Acts
James
Ruth
Romans
Titus
Matthew
Genesis
Philemon
Chronicles
Daniel
Nahum
Hosea
Lamentations
Revelation
Timothy
Samuel
Malachi
Peter
Exodus
Kings
Thats all of them! I hope you enjoyed doing it. And Leslie, to answer your question, since you really want us to do more puzzles, we will.

30 Books of The Bible
This is a really cool puzzle! Its addicting to keep on trying to find more books. I want you to try it. I recommend copy/pasting it to Microsoft Word or whatever is on your computer, then printing it off so you can try and find books in it whenever you want.
If you don't know all the books of the Bible, Google it. Plus, let me warn you, that their aren't all of the books of the Bible in this paragraph. And about a fourth of the words hidden in the puzzle are not the most popular books. So, really keep your eyes open. Here is the puzzle.
There are 30 books of the Bible hidden in this paragraph. Can you find them all?
This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much, he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his john boat. Another friend studied it while playing his banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend, was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend judges the job of solving this puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves. There will be some names that are easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however, will soon find themselves in a jam. Especially since the book names are not necessarily capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister or scholar to see some of them at their worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this paragraph. During a recent fundrasing event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Humana humbly puts it, "The books are all here in plain view hidden from sight." Those able to find all of them will hear great lamentations from those who have be shown. One revelation that may help is that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. A chipper attitude will help you compete really well against those who claim to know the answers. Remember, there is no need for a mad exodus; there really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph waiting to be found.
If you find all of the books, copy-paste this paragraph to the email you are sending to chipotleandjalapeno@gmail.com, and use bold print or underline the hidden books of the Bible.
The person who sends it in first will be named winner! The deadline is Thursday, the 15th.
With Love,
Chipotle And Jalapeno

It's Like Your Two

So warm and nice

You smile
Then you shout

'Cause all you want is me
Does that make any since at all
Oh, to you

One is you
Then one just
Oh it just ain't

Flawed and Broken
Flawed and Broken
Why do you always have to make me feel so small
Even if there are no tears there are scars
My heart is broken with hurt
The heaviness weighs and
Slowly, but surely breaks my heart
It'll take some time, but I'll get over you
I promise I will
Don't, you, worry about that
But you wouldn't anyway
Because you are you
Just because you are you
Flawed and Broken
Making your worries my own
I stand around waiting for the deep burn you are to fade away
You never will
You'll be there
I know
So save me some scars and leave me alone
You don't know who your dealing with
I deal with you so....
I can deal with my problem of you
It'll take some time, but I'll get over you
I promise I will
Don't, you, worry about that
But you wouldn't anyway
Because you are you
Just because you are you
Flawed and Broken
Making your worries my own
You quickly take my joy and make my good moods fade
So go just leave before I cry for you again
No need to stick around
'Cause I'll just keep crying and that's not what I want
You're not what I want
I don't need you
So leave
Just simply leave
Get out of my life
It'll take some time, but I'll get over you
I promise I will
Don't, you, worry about that
But you wouldn't anyway
Because you are you
Just because you are you
Flawed and Broken
Making your worries my own
You burn my scars deeper and deeper each day
Yet the tears get less
'Cause there's none left to cry
None at all
You took them all
You stole
You stole my life away from me
I can't even tell you how badly you treat me
I can't even tell you
I just can't
It'll take some time, but I'll get over you
I promise I will
Oh yes I will
Don't, you, worry about that
But you wouldn't anyway
Because you are you
Just because you are you
Flawed and Broken
Making your worries my own
Flawed and Broken
Flawed and Broken
Flawed and Broken
You break my heart in ways that I will never be healed
Oh But
It'll take some time, but I'll get over you
I promise I will
Oh yes I will
Don't, you, worry about that
But you wouldn't anyway
Because you are you
Just because you are you
Flawed and Broken
Flawed and Broken
Just simply Flawed and Broken

TheFlyLady
My mother used to read The Fly Lady's blog all the time. Her blog is tips about cleaning in a hurry. Like doing a little bit every day to maintain a clean house. She also has "Body Clutter" sheets you can fill out to see how bad or good you eat, what you should, etc. I used these for a while, but now I sort of know what to do with out the sheets, but if you need guidance and/or a newbie at dieting this is a good thing to have.

Have you ever wanted to design a shirt for an occasion, but didn't know where to start? Well, at Custom Ink you can design your own shirt- and put anything on it you want. You also get shipping and handling all free! How awesome is that!?! You could just copy-paste something from the World Wide Web and put it on a shirt and wear it. Its also good for church groups, reunions, gatherings and you could even design your own soccer ball jersey- even though no one in your family is in soccer. Maybe, if you were kind enough, you could make & buy a shirt that has "Chipotle and Jalapeno: the two spicy chicks" on it. Just kidding! But, we will be hosting a contest about making the best Chipotle and Jalapeno shirt. Just send us an email at chipotleandjalapeno@gmail.com and say your first name, age, and the link to your shirt on Custom Ink and the top 2 winner's shirts will be shown on this very blog.

Cheap Clothes!
Do you love shopping? I'm sure you do. If you're like me, you love a great deal. I know a girl who said every article of clothing she bought was on sale or clearance. Wow! Anyway, I've did my research on cheap-cute clothes and i would say this website is the best one- do you see that picture above? Believe it or not, its like $10.00. I know, right! And you get it from where? www.GoJane.com. It has a lot of good deals and cute clothes, which is just what every girl wants. I don't believe they have a real "store", though. I think its just an online thing, which may be a problem for girls that like to try on their clothes before they buy them. Thanks for reading!!!!

Insane, crazy, and just plain weird jobs!
Odor Tester
This one is pretty odd, but some chemists have to make sure that all of those deodorants and antiperspirants are operating properly to keep their users free of funk!
Fortune Cookie Writer
Yes, we've all wondered who the heck writes those fortunes in English! Finishing a take-out Chinese meal means you'll usually get those delightfully witty pieces of advice that people are so quick to read.
Professional Whistler
Believe it or not this man whistles tunes and does it for a living. Allegedly this gentleman is well versed in several different genres of music.
Braille Translator
Someone has to modify all sorts of texts and convert them to Braille for the blind. This can include novels, music, textbooks, and brochures. There is nothing wrong with making things more accessible for the blind and this one sounds like it's a quite useful job, but it does sound a little crazy.
Dog Food Tester
Watch out guys, this gal is going to have some great breath in store for you. Just like any other meals, dog food needs to be inspected too. I suppose they can't use dogs to test the food so this profession requires a taste testing of such a delicious cuisine.
Gum Buster
Have you ever sat in a park bench and had the misfortune of placing your hand in old gum? Well that's where these guys come in, removing gum that resides all over the place.
Crazy jobs, I know. Who would want to do any of that? Well, maybe some of them wouldn't be that bad. But a Gum Buster? How about a Dog Food Tester? You'd have to be extremely desprete for a job to take one of them.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this. I know I did! But I want to tell you that I didn't think of all of this stuff up on my own. I got it from http://www.jobprofiles.org/.
Do you have a weird profession? Know someone that does? If you have the time, write a quick comment about a job you have, or you think, is crazy. We love to hear from you guys!
Now, that was my (Jalapeno) favorite posts that I wrote. Now, here is Chipotle's:

A Few Thoughts
Why yes I do think...I have a few thoughts well questions for our readers. First off I would like to ask if you like the new look and the different pages. Please let us know! Also if you have any suggestions on a look for our web site please let us know. Click on the contact page to get our email address or just post a comment. Thank You!
Any way moving on for today. Spring break is coming up! So tell us what you are doing. Staying at home going on vacation, etc. I personally am not ready for it because school seemed like it just started, but what ever. I am happy to have a break for a while. You know relax. That is what a break is for RIGHT? Yes! So just let us know what you are doing. My (Chipotle) Spring break consists of basically the same routine for normal life except I don't have to waste time doing school work. I am sad to say I don't like breaks, call me crazy, but it seems like I have toooo much time on my hands when I do have one, but I am SURE by summer break I will have changed my mind about that..... Tell us your thoughts about breaks school, etc. Also if only people had breaks at work, but it does not work like that we all know! That is what weekends are for. Unless you work on weekends....But you still probably have time for your self unless you are glued (shall I say handcuffed) to your desk like SOME people I know, but that is not the subject of the moment. My basic point is it is good to be busy, but also schedule some time in for your self. Also why I am saying these things is because we have not been posting lately because we have lives. BUT we do make time for you and bloging is our, shall I say, passion... Why so many DOT DOT DOTs because that is moment for thought on the subjects and to show I am thinking about it as well. So when you have the opportunity think about things and take time to be happy for what you have. Take time out of your day just to have time to hang with friends or family or just think. Like a girl like me might to is sit in a bubble bath and blast Taylor Swift music and cry...Well I don't cry every time I bathe. I laugh or sing or just sit there and let my skin burn off in the hot water... What do you do to UNWIND your tightness. Read? Laugh hysterically when no one is watching? Hmmmm???? What do you do. Now can tell I am in a talkative mood (sarcasm). Yes! OK So after reading this your all like "WHAT?" Well that after all I did say I was Spicy~!
With Love, Laughter, and a bit of Thought,

I looked over to the phone and cried and cried because, well I'll get to that, but first lets start at the beginning. It was my first day of school and I felt confident, but I was afraid about everything. I walked around the halls and tried to get used to the new surrounding then I noticed there was no one I knew there. They were all supposed to go to this school, but no, they are all gone. I was scared and worried and impatient. I remember I forgot to take my medication and I popped a pill in my mouth. I began to see funny things around me and I started to sweat. I wandered around and then ran outside and puked. I ran home missing the rest of the school and I was worried so, instead of turning home where I was supposed to turn I just kept running and running. I knew something was wrong. I stopped on the side walk and screamed as loud as I could. I curled up in a ball and screamed and screamed. I can't tell you what happened next because I don't remember that well. All I know is that people swarmed me and I woke up in a white room with an IV in my arm. I looked down at it and I pulled it out and I became sleepy. I heard beeping and people yelling at me, but then I started convulsing and everything went black. I woke up again and took a deep breath and looked around. I was in a different room and there were more nurses. I could see my reflection in the TV that was turned off and I looked awful. My eyes were yellow and my skin was pail. My hair was damp from sweat. I felt weak and annoyed. I looked at the nurse and screamed at her. It was not a mad scream, but a painful scream. I cried and screamed at her she looked scared of me and her eyes welled up and she cried. I screamed at the top of my lungs and arched my back so my chest was towards the sealing. My face was red and my throat was sore from screaming, but I screamed for at least a minute straight. I started convulsing and I pulled at the bed. I looked at the nurse and pleated. “Help me!!!” I screamed and then blackness again. The next time I woke up I was in a straitjacket in the corner on a room that was white and soft. I laid on the soft floor and started to laugh insanely. Then I caught myself acting crazy and got an awful look on my face and screamed. I stayed there for what seemed like years, but then they said I could make my weekly phone call. I walked down the cold white halls and looked at all these people passing bye. They hissed at me or laughed or screamed. I was frightened and would hiss back or scream and try to bite them, but a big scary strong man was holding me back and I gave him and evil smile. The man was a brick and would not show emotion. They sat me down at a phone and I picked it up and dialed my mother and spoke to her saying I was fine and that I love her. She cried a lot. So did I. Then I took the big man's hand and he walked me back to my room. He told me his name, Gabriel. I smiled. “Like the angle?” I asked He laughed and took me back to my comfy room and put me back in my jacket and I fell asleep. I soon learned that he was my nurse and would help me get better. He gave me work sometimes like this journal. He told me to write my feelings down in it and to keep it close to me and write everything in it. That is what I am doing, but I am worried. I asked the lady nurse who gives me my medication where Gabriel is and she looked at me confused. “Who?” “My nurse.” I said. Then she said, “I have never heard of him. I have been here five years and I never heard of him. Besides, I'm your nurse.” “OK.” I said. I grabbed my journal and began to write so here I am now. I have not seen Gabriel in a long while. I am sad, but I know he misses me I miss him too. OK. I will write later. Bye-bye.

Crazy
Hello readers. Welcome back to another crazy day. It might not seem so crazy all the time, but it is and will become even more so as the days go by. We are trying to complete our goal of having readers send in all their crazy stories and more. So will do us a quick favor and type us something and send it in to us at chipotleandjalapeno@gmail.com As you are aware of our blog is a baby and is still under construction in it's own way. We (Jalapeno and me) are still planing and deciding on what to make our blog officially. Maybe a blog like in the earlier days more fashion or tips like FB FarmTown or What to wear on Christmas. Or like what we are in favor of and are doing on our blog at the moment is complete randomness like this post. Yeah I think that is what we are going to be doing. Also the stories I write, tell us if you like them, tell us what you want to read about rather that what makes me look disturbed (I'm not I just like to write creepy stories). So if you have any tips just shoot us an email or type a comment. So lets get to our post for today! (well the fun part teehee)
So lets take a walk in the fictional world.
Going about town was dangerous alone. He new perfectly well he did not want to get hurt, or in trouble, and that is was the wrong thing to do, but he went any way. He was frightened. He saw several people that look harmful, but many that look kind. He thought to himself this is not bad I am fine although my mother think I am taking my nap, but she will never know I will be back after a while. I'm fine I am.....
1
......But he was WRONG! He soon was regretting every moment of his outing......
2
.......So he went back home, but who was there waiting made him shrink 5 times smaller then his, 4 year old, self. His mother was siting in her chair waiting. She new where he was. She took him and told him why not to go out alone and punished him......
3
......But he soon got lost and wondered everywhere from here to there. He looked to the sky and to the ground , but no one was there to help. So he gathered himself up and ran like the wind and lucky enough he landed back home and with a hop, skip, and a leap he jumped in side his bed and started to cry. His mother thought he was taking his nap the whole time, but he snuck away. He confessed with all his heart to his mother and she did what was right.......
