Belly Up to the Bar With Bendy and Her Friendies!!! Button Pics & New Thread Started!

Ohhhhh! See.. having never been to WDW I didn't realize that was a joke!

Oh yeah ... it's a painfully funny joke because there's a lot of truth in it. Jay and I usually say that to each other at least once during every trip to WDW ... 'cause we're dorks and that's how we roll.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

I will never be writing another trip report.

Why, you ask?

Because every time I do, my laptop breaks. This time it was my fault, as I accidently knocked it off the coffee table while it was open. The screen looks like it was shattered.

In other mind-blowingly expensive news, I broke our cuckoo clock this morning. It's been a bad week.

Oh Briarmom, I am so sorry Not a good week at all.

Poor Briarmom ... you need more booze.

Wow... great minds... unless of course the booze is the reason it fell off the coffee table...

I'm back, with a teeny tiny hangover. I figure the best thing to do is start drinking again as soon as DH gets home

 

[oybolshoi]

we're eating pizza and drinking beer tonight ... it was the crappiest day of the week so far at work and I'm not too proud to admit that I find comfort in food.

why can't someone just drive a dumptruck full of money up to our house?

That;s exactly what we had for dinner last night at our house. It was a horrible day at work so I told everyone tonight we are having pizza and beer, sitting out back with the outdoor fireplace lit and listening to the penguin hockey game on the radio. I dont drink beer so my son and his girlfriend washed out a yuengling's bottle, filled it with wine put the cap back on it and brought it out to me so it looked like I had a beer too. it was a great night.

Atta Girl! I don't know if you've ever watched the movie 9 to 5, but any talk of drinking always reminds me of the lady in that movie that has a little problem with booze !

I've always wondered the samething

 

[ChelleinNC]

What's up with everyone having a crappy week? Mine started Sunday....Happy Mothers day the "brunch" at the club didn't have any breakfast food. The only food DS would eat was the desserts and I had to push him to eat those. We followed up the "brunch" (really, what did they think the BR stood for???) anyways, after brunch we ended up with Jon taking his mom to the ER. So he spent the day there, I joined them around 8pm and we left at 11pm when they said they were going to admit her. It's now Friday and she's still in the hospital, with a UTI; kidney infection and not sure what else because she's still spiking fevers and has been on mega doses of antibiotics since Sunday night. They don't know what the problem is. Of course everything is complicated with the fact that she's diabetic and almost died 3 years ago because of a perforated bowel and she's never fully recovered from that. So that's been my fun week Bring on the booze

I made waffles for dinner and had a bowl of ice cream with peanut butter & chocolate sauce On the plus side, I did walk the entire neighborhood putting FREE Dining fliers in newspaper boxes hoping to drum up some business.

I dont drink beer so my son and his girlfriend washed out a yuengling's bottle, filled it with wine put the cap back on it and brought it out to me so it looked like I had a beer too. it was a great night.

 

[Briarmom]

Oh honey, I'm sorry It really has been a bad week

It was a good trip report, I was really enjoying it

Poor Briarmom ... you need more booze.

Thanks

Wow... great minds... unless of course the booze is the reason it fell off the coffee table...

Nah. I started drinking AFTER it happened.

Why wait!?

Pizza and beer is the best.
Next week NEEDS to be better. It can start now.

Did you know I had too many 'images' in my post when I tried to post it? I guess we're a smiley bunch.

 

[whogirl'smom]

Briarmom, I'm so sorry about the computer--I promise wine will make it all feel better! If not, add chocolate.

Chelle, sorry to hear about your MIL. Family illness is always a big stressor and hopefully she will be well soon. On the other hand, at least you FOUND somewhere to have brunch on Mother's Day; you'd think I was looking for the Holy Grail around here!

I am only stressed about a good thing at the moment (knock on wood). Trying to plan a family get-together for my parents' 50th anniversary next month. It is going to be down homey with a fried chicken lunch and all the trimmings at my parents' house for about 30 people. When all the non-drinkers go home we'll pop open some champagne and beer.


Here's a food question: Has anyone ever had a sour cream and salsa salad dressing? I bought a packaged salad kit at the store and it had the BEST salad dressing in it! It's Fresh Express brand but I know they don't make it in a bottle. Wonder if we could find a recipe for it? I'm usually an Italian or balsamic dressing person all the way, but this stuff was great.

 

[snapppyd]

Have a great weekend everyone! Tonight is beer and burgers and beer night. and beer!

Hugs to everyone and thank goodness it's Friday!

We're having our second batch of severe weather this week and despite what the weatherdudes said this morning, this batch looks way worse than Wednesday night's batch. The satellite is out and we're waiting for the power to go (although we hope it won't).

Tornado watch until 1AM and storm watches until 3AM ... why bother going to bed at all?

Now I think I will share some randomly amusing things with you all in an attempt to produce a smile ...

1) a few weeks ago on a Friday night I stopped at a local Taco Bell drive through for a fast and unhealthy dinner. I had left work and gone straight to my hairdresser for a cut and a color and a style ... it was close to 8PM and I was hungreeeee. For some reason tacos sounded tasty (for the record I usually eat Taco Bell once a year) and I pulled up to the order box and requested four hard tacos only to be told ...


...


...


I swear I'm not making this up...


"We're out of beef."



Whhaaaaaaaaat?



I heroically resisted the urge to ask, "Where's the beef?" and instead asked, "You're out of beef? At 8PM on a Friday night? Is this a joke or am I being filmed for some twisted version of Candid Camera?"

The voice box said, "Huh? We're out of beef do you want chicken?"

I said, "If I wanted chicken I'd pay Colonel Sanders a visit ... I guess I'll go somewhere else."

And the voice box said, "Oh, OK; bye."



The best part of this story is that I ended up at Wendy's for dinner ... where they had plenty of beef.


2) While driving home from work this evening I was listening to the local oldies station ... they were playing Stayin Alive when the National Weather Service broke in to warn of impending storms and a tornado warning in a neighboring county. Once the message had played twice the song switched back on ... right at the bridge of the tune where the Bee Gees hit that high falsetto AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I had to laugh at the timing because Barry Gibb sounded really frightened by that tornado warning.

how about a belated Easter joke?

One fine Saturday morning two friends left the big city in a fancy, schmancy convertible. Their goal was to take a scenic country drive where they could revel in fresh air, clear skies, vibrant plant life and maybe ... if really lucky ... some frolicking wildlife.

They zipped along a two-lane country highway and as the scenery flashed by they alternately exclaimed, "Beautiful! Gorgeous! Stunning!"

They even waved as they passed a farmer who'd pulled off onto the shoulder to replace a flat tire ... and waving at strangers was something they'd never do in the big city.

Unfortunately, in the split second that they turned to wave at the farmer a stout rabbit hopped out from the roadside flowers and stopped right in front of the car.

The friend driving tried to avoid hitting the bunny but it was too late.

They pulled over and stood at the side of the road, staring sadly at the flattened remains of little bunny foo foo. They felt just awful and were talking of digging a shallow, roadside grave when an old pickup truck lumbered to a stop on the shoulder behind their car. It was the old farmer they'd waved to just a few short minutes ago ...

"What seems to be the problem, friends?"

They explained, in halting words, what had happened. The farmer nodded sagely as they spoke.

"Ayup. Happens a lot out these ways ... them critters can be careless. I think I may have something back here mayhap will help."

And he rumaged around in the bed of his truck for a moment before finding a can of something. Shaking it vigorously he approaced the rabbit's carcas, leaned down and proceeded to spray the animal with the contents of the can.

He then walked back to his truck, tossed the empty can in the bed, and wandered back over to the two city slickers.

They looked at him blankly, not understanding what he'd done.

"Wait..." he said.

And suddenly, as if on cue, the flattened rabbit regained its pre-accident form, hopped up on its back legs, and turned its head to regard the farmer and the two dumbfounded city friends. As if that weren't miraculous enough, the bunny waved to them before hopping across the highway where it then stopped, turned around, and waved again. The bunny then hopped merrily across a meadow towards a stand of trees, stopping to wave one last time at everyone before disappearing from sight.

The two friends turned to the farmer and demanded to know what he'd used to revive the bunny. "That's amazing! You should patent that stuff ... you could make a fortune! What was it???"

The farmer shrugged nonchalantly, "That weren't no big deal. It's just hair re-storer with a permanent wave."

I have had such a crazy week that I haven't been here most of the week. I have just a few things to say!!

UGABelle, We are staying at Paris so Mon Ami Gabi might be a place we try. It sounds like we should check out Fiamma. I think we will end up with more places to try than time! LOL

Brenda, Thanks for the recipe for Grand Marnier sauce. Do you really think 2 1/2 TBS is enough Mrand Marnier? What do you suppose would happen if I double that???????? Also, 8000 OMG! I feel like I am always on here but I need to stop being so shy and speak up more often!

The recipe called for 2 tablespoons and I added half more to that ... it was very subtle but I liked it that way because I'm not a big fan of orange flavored things. Just test it as you go ... if you want it to be a stronger flavor then just add more, but I wouldn't add by tablespoon after the first two only because you don't want it to become too liquid-ey. Ya know what I mean?

And here's a hug for your crazy week ...
