Sprucette Stories

Nugget of the Week

By meredith | Published April 9, 2010

So, lately we have been cracking up about how many funny little things happen here ALL THE TIME. I often see Amanda brought to tears over some ridiculous incident that has happened that week. I use the word “nugget” to describe these little hilarities. For me, a nugget refers to a tiny morsel of perfection. Some small quirky or hilarious thing that cannot go unnoticed. For example, everyone at Spruce has a few nuggets of greatness about them. Here are some of the ones that we love:

Lizzie – She is basically a professional bowler on the side. Her husband’s bowling ball is even named the “Dizzie Miss Lizzie”.

Amanda- Totally beyond-a-point-of-reason OBSESSED with Christmas. Like the kind of girl who listens to Christmas music all year round.

Keegan- She LOVES to play pool, loves it so much that she will play in tournaments if she can find one (which must mean she’s pretty darn good). She needs a wicked nick -name like the Black Widow has. Tell us what you come up with

Meredith-I sorta have a little flower biz on the side. I arrange them for friends and other people’s events occasionally. No floral nick-name for me but my favorite flower right now is a Ranunculus, the name is unbeatable.

The Nugget for this week is an unusual find. Periodically throughout the week, I make sure that the outside area of our studio is squeaky clean. Well, one day this week I was in the back and found an interesting treat. I found a pool ball! A blue #2 solid pool ball to be specific. There were some pretty good belly laughs among the Sprucettes at my unusual find. We have had a great time thinking of how and why this pool ball could have come into our yard.

Was it a strike so hard that it flew out of the bar and into our yard?

Is it a sign that we are going to make a cold $2 million in our new home-ware addition Spruce is coming out with soon? (oh the suspense!)

Is it a love note from a neighbor saying they are 2 blue without me?

Let us know if you think of any good stories, we have thoroughly enjoyed letting our imaginations run with this. As a true archeologist would do for a “find”, I have documented my discovery with some photographs. I plan to turn it into some sort of trophy. But until then, it lives in our Beer Money cup.
