Mixed Nuts

[PrincessJasmine08]

I will say cattle are the big dumb goofballs of the animal kingdom. Trying to round them up is no picnic. You could literally hit them in the head with a sledge hammer and they will just stare at you with a big sloppy cow grin on their face. They can be infuriating ...running around haphazardly as if they have a purpose, when actually all they are doing is kicking up dust and tearing up your fence rows.

However, a good horse and a border collie, with some sense, will make things go much smoother. (unlike our border collie whose only goal in life is to molest the neighbors cows and look at me with her big brown eyes as if to say "Aren't I great? Didn't I just do all of you stupid humans a big service?" ) Yup she's a great dog. Just ask our horse, Mocha, who literally kicked out two of her teeth last week.

That is all I will say on the issue of livestock for now. I have to go teach a childbirth class. The other instructor is in the hospital, so I thought I'd be nice and help her out. Although I could suggest that the class meet in her hospital room. It would be convenient, and then I wouldn't have to drive in to work. Hmmm, perhaps I'll give her a call.

The amount that I am laughing at this is absurd. I am cracking up. It just prooves once and for all that you really are the hick that Rob and I made you out to be!! Dying here!

Hey! I don't know that I'm ready to give her up that easily. Who declared you the winner?
-- Rob

She did. She should be the one who gets to decide. It only makes sense. It was a simple three question quiz but you would have failed anyway. You're too slow.

My favorite character photos have been with Donald...he has the best pose ideas.

Incorrect. That would be Ariel. Certain Ariels are better than others but there's this one that is hands down the best Disney character ever.

Dang! I always miss the fun gals. Now I'll just be stuck here with boring old BabyN and PJ tonight.

-- Rob

Oh no you didn't! You'll be crying when I leave, Mister! Maybe my fellow trollop and I will just disappear and leave you all alone. How would you like that?

4. PJ: from one hotT TM'ing college chick to another. Are we going to stand for such abuse?

I'll TM (no one says that) you about it later, but no, no we are not. Cold shoulder for Rob!

E & PJ: He's just saying that because he's being all boring now and it's probably driving him nuts

Zackly. Hi, Blue. GREAT new title....good job, Liz!!

WOW that was a long post, I think I need a drink!

I'm normally not on on weekday nights, but I'm freaking out. I blew it. I totally blew it.

I made The Call tonight. AND HE ANSWERED. That was the first thing that threw me.

Seemed really happy to hear from me at first..."Oh, hey, how are you?" Sounded kind of excited. I said I'd seen him around and it's been a while and I thought I'd give him a call. I blurted out that I didn't think he'd answer; he kind of laughed and said, "Why not?" I didn't have an answer for that, so there's Throw Number Two. He asked me how I was and I said pretty good, how are you and he said okay, that he was just getting dinner for the kids and sitting down to his own.

Great. Normally he has the kids on WEDNESDAYS, so there's the third thing that threw me. So I immediately started apologizing, I don't want to interrupt his night with his kids...he says it's okay and asks me what I've been up to. By that point, I was extremely nervous and literally shaking so I say not much. He asked me if I had a new neighbour yet. I said, "In your place? Yep, they moved in a while ago, but I haven't met them yet." He says he has a new neighbour as well, but he hasn't met her yet, because of the winter. Then one of the kids asks him for something, so he has to turn away to help her. He comes back and asks me again, how am I. I said pretty good, can't complain, you? He said, "Well, that's good."

Dead silence. Finally I said, "Should I let you go...I didn't realize you had the kids..." and he said, "Yeah, I probably should." Before I let him go, I said, "Well, give me a call sometime, I'd love to talk..." He said, "Yeah...yeah, sure, okay." Then we said bye and that was it.

I'm such a freaking idiot. Could someone please shoot me? Dig a hole for me to crawl into?

I will do neither of those two things.

1. Calm down.
2. Relax.
3. CALM DOWN!

I think it sounds like it went fine. Really, I'm serious. I think he was just sidetracked because of the kids. He was happy to hear from you, I'm sure. I am proud of you for doing it, go Liz!!!

Oh, are you making tea for us?

Hi Blue!!

I think you're right. He's gone crazy from boredom.

The amount that I am laughing at this is absurd. I am cracking up. It just prooves once and for all that you really are the hick that Rob and I made you out to be!! Dying here!

She did. She should be the one who gets to decide. It only makes sense. It was a simple three question quiz but you would have failed anyway. You're too slow.

I'm glad you had a nice laugh. That was the purpose of my post, PJ!!!!
Please contact me for all of your equine, bovine, and canine needs.

Sorry, Robbie, when ya snooze ya lose

zackly.

Did I say people actually say TM? I was abbreviating d/t being in a hurry. Stick with me here PJ!


NICKERBOCKER: I saw the pic last night and was writing a comment about how CUTE it was, but the disboards crashed on me. Hope you see this.

I still feel like a horse's posterior this morning. Yes, he seemed happy to hear from me at first, but there were so many awkward silences that when I said I should let him go, he acted like he was in a hurry to get off the phone. I'm having my doubts about this.

Does this remind anyone of Sixteen Candles? Except for the fact that I'm sixteen x 2...supposedly an ADULT?

Good morning, Liz. I still say it's not as bad as it seems and call back in a few days. Did you see Nichole's advice? Exactly the same as mine.

I know...I still feel really stupid, though. At this point I wonder if I should just tell him that I really like him and ask him out.

At least I didn't see him this morning when I left. His kitchen light was on, though.

YES! Do it!

 

[apirateslifeforme]

YES! Do it!

Not today. I have to get over the embarrassment first. This time I made a few notes on what I want to say...like I'm sorry, I was really nervous and I didn't want to interrupt your dinner with your kids...

Why can't he do it? Isn't it obvious that I'm into him? He can't be that clueless. And if it's so obvious, if he were to ask me out he KNOWS I'd say yes.

 

[jonestavern]

Congrats on the baby step, Liz!

the Mixed Nuts all toast to your sucess!

Yeah, give it a couple of days. Good idea making a few notes!

I wish he would just do it, too. Wouldn't it be so much easier??? Who knows -- maybe he will call you.

 

[apirateslifeforme]

Seriously, that was no success. That was utter failure. I wish I could describe the tone in his voice, how it changed...first excitement, then it was like, "yeah, let's get off the phone since you obviously have nothing to say and don't really want to talk to me"

I hope that he can see what a huge step that was for you.

Maybe if we all hold our breath, he will.

Who is going to call him for me and tell him I'm an idiot?

 

[apirateslifeforme]

I hope that he can see what a huge step that was for you.

Maybe if I can scrounge up the you-know-whats to call him again, but right now I'd still like to dig a hole for myself.

Hi Michele!
How're the girls?

Liz,
at the phone bank we were expected to get 8 sales for every 100 calls,
SMILE & DIAL! SMILE & DIAL!

Yes, do have a 'script'
Ask him out for a 'non' pressure date: lunch, breakfast, coffee, some innocuous community event

don't apologize too much--when you tell him you were nervous, say it lightheartedly, practice!

ask him about the kids--what grades are they in, do they like sports/school yadda yadda;ask him about himself

tell him you've recently been deified & he has now got the golden chance to get in on the ground floor of this fantastic worshipping opportunity!

Geez, I'm looking mighty rough this AM!
It's full court press for the events & we are so short handed it's stupid!

Hi, Liz! The girls are wonderful. Emily makes her First Communion on Saturday, so we're getting ready for that.

How are you?

 

[disneymama73]

You can do it. No hole digging allowed.

I wish I could come out and visit you.

the call was the SUCCESS!
climb every mountain!

It is his bad luck if he missed out on a good looking, witty, & smart lady!

Forward! You're building momentum, baby!

Smart lady! I agree! Calling was monumental!
