Sadly for us (and anyone else who is tracking the frequency of my victory dances), ZZUB Family Game Night had to be cancelled. Try to contain your disappointment. Li’l Zzub took ill last night and because Game Night is so, well, aggressive, Mrs. ZZUB thought we shouldn’t let Li’l Zzub get worked up. Which brings me to the point of this story (with remarkable speed; take note Mel): at 11:00 last night Li’l Zzub, pulled a Kim all over Mrs. ZZUB. It was chunky. And soupy, not unlike the soup it resembled. And smelled a lot like the steak we had for dinner. I also thought I saw some corn. Still with me?

Not only do I now need a new keyboard, monitor, printer and desk, this carpet's gotta go too. And the wallpaper. Cause the smell of cheese just ain't comin' out of any of it now, if ya know what I mean. Just as well. Who decorated this place anyway? I'm gonna make a quick run to Office Depot. After I recover. And don't worry. I'll make sure they bill you. New laptops for everybody.

Pay back is murder, isn’t it?!

Yes it is.

She allegedly felt better afterwards and slept fine until 1:00 am when she came into our room and promptly, again, spewed forth, this time mostly liquid, on Mrs. ZZUB. At which point I, still mostly asleep rolled over and thought to myself, “never a fanny pack handy when you need it.”

Also: how glad am I that my daughter continues to choose my wife as her prime target?

Please give my sympathies to your wife. I have been there. And the only thing worse than being awakened in the middle of the night by a splash of corn filled projectile vomit dead in the face is knowing that your husband's last words to the child were "You don't feel good? Go tell your mother."

Not that that has ever happened. More than twice in my house.

Hope lil ZZUB feels better soon. Mrs. ZZUB too.

LaLa: You did a good job on those settlement documents but some of the other assistants are complaining about the smell of cheese coming from your office. Also, my now former assistant has fingered you as a co-conspirator with the crazed muffin toting lady who insists on watering our silk plants. I’ve got your back on that one, but try to tone down your use of cheese and stop humming the music from Illuminations in the hallways. It’s freaking everybody out.

Well now the settlement documents are ruined, the smell of cheese is the least of everybody else's worries, and I'm taking the rest of the day off to go find an industrial sized fanny pack.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll: Move the flippin van. I need to get out.


NM: Tell me you don't love Rascal Flatts. Borg? I got their new CD this weekend and I couldn't tell you what songs are on it except for Track 2. Yep. I paid close to fifteen bucks to ride around and listen to What Hurts The Most day and night. And it was so worth it. And yes, I LOVE Double Dutch Bus. So does DH. We both bust a move in the middle of the living room every time we (I) play it. Then DD joins in with some killer ballet moves and DS does the Worm across the living room floor. Good family times.

Oh, and Frickles, you'll love this. DS's new move is the MoonWalk. The Moonwalk. And the Worm. And the little breakdancing head spin thing. The child is gonna break his neck. Care to venture a guess where he learned all those killer 80s moves? The Baptist After School Program. Yep. Apparently the Baptists like to drop it like it's hot in the P.M.

Oh, and BTW, can I get one of those sparkly Cinderella cards with the gift that keeps on giving tucked inside for my birthday? Cause that would be sweet.

Good Afternoon everyone....

We're back from College orientation and hooP and I have migraines!! So much to absorb.

I see Grammy has told everyone she loves them. Has it been 3 months? I'm not so sure. Grammy don't put out so quickly. You'll respect yourself more in the morning.

ZZUB..Sorry to her Lil' Z isn't feeling well. Glad to hear she favors your wife.

Mrs. Z....Point Lil Z in your DH's direction just as she's ready to blow chunks. That's what I did to hooP once. We were driving to Maryland with his brother and the baby was making that noise. You know the noise. The one that sounds like a cat coughing up a hairball. I turned her towards hooP and she tossed her cookies all over his lap!!! I almost peed my pants.


Gotta run. We're now off to the High School. Our other daughter is getting an academic award. She's a genuis this one. Has a 3.9 GPA Can't figure who she took after! Maybe hooP, cuz I's dumber than my peg leg

LaLa....((((((((((((((((sniff))))))))))))))

Hey Maelstrom!!! To all.

ZZUB ~ I knew your dog had issues with Me(l). Now he's intercepting my jailblock cries for help. ZZUB, it's just not right. Maybe if you had him fixed... heh, heh? Just an idea. Of mine.

Anywho... I must add to my numerous grievances. I would appreciate YOU posting on my TR thread. Maybe? JUST ONCE. EVEN. Are you even reading it? I have no idea. At all. Geez.

Also... corn is the Superfood! Not. The body cannot process it. It is identifiable coming out. Both ends. Either by pulling a ZZUB... or... you know...the other way. Same with lettuce. And nuts. FYI.

Reverse payback, homes. It's fun. Isn't it?

Grammy ~ HI and bye!! That's just not right.

La La ~ I missed it! I was gone all day yesterday. Please, please...pretty please. Otherwise I'll have to kick your butt tomorrow at ZZUB's office. After I switch all the letters on his keyboard around. So he can't look at it while typing. Heh, heh. THAT IS A GOOD JOKE. FYI. Not that anyone I know has ever done that. I think. And... not that I WANT to have to touch that particular keyboard, either.

Nab ~ Hi. Don't think we've chatted before. BUT... I'm very curious... what does "Nab" stand for?

Chappie and others... you know who you are... I write a certain way here on the Dis. It's my style here. Sorry. I never claimed to be stylish. Anyhow. It's easy. So. I. Write. That. Way. Too. Bad. Heh. Heh.

I'm trying to get caught up on trip reports today.

Over and out.

Cheers, Mel.

P.S. Roll Tide!

This was too perfect timing LaLa and ZZUB.

The owner of my company came in a couple hours ago and said, "we're hiring a new girl clean out your deks" - choking now not spewing on my Diet Dew as I have a Disney trip to the YC to pay for - and then he said, "because we are buying you new office furntiure and giving your stuff to the newbie" which made me .

Then the fun part came then sent me out with the $$$ and guess what - no furniture for me. Nothing in stock that will fit in my office right. So special order baby . I am going to ask for it ZZUB proof - wonder if they'll know what that means at the furniture company

Hey Lala!!! Girl my kid can 'break it' too!!! He has the worm down... yo, yo, yo! We're going to work on 'poppin' next. I'm so proud of my little Freakazoid.

AAAhhhhh.....the birthday girl's mom FINALLY called me today. It was the 'I haven't gone through the birthday cards yet so I don't know if we have it'. I was dying. She called me back about 10 minutes later with a score! It is my cute little Georgia Bulldog Amex....I need it badly too. See why I told you all I'm a spacey spice. Stuff like this happens to me all the time. Just tell me when your birthday is La2....

 

[HaleyB]

Zzub that was really very gross. Thanks. Poor Mrs Zzub. Poor lil Zzub. I hope it was a 24 hour deal and the worst is over. Cause I don't want to be reading a play by play again tomorrow.

I was going to make soup for dinner. With corn on the cob. I kid you not. Now I need a new plan. I think maybe I might skip dinner, really. I wonder how the kids would feel about that.

Gotta run, just wanted to say hello. I need to clear out a bunch of stuff from Sophia's room so I can paint it. Blue I think... still need to decide about that.

Also I need to sell a bunch of stuff on ebay because I am way behind on that. I don't know why... I am online all the time... yet I never seem to get that stuff done.

Also Maelstrom meet people, I have not forgotten you. You are on my to do list for this week. Along with 4000 other things.

Off to do #3336 and #3335 and even #3334




Oh been meaning to say this for some time. You know the reading thing. I have another one for you- an author- great guy, very interesting.

Huston Smith. Read him. This one is good: Why Religon Matters: The Fate of the human Spirit in the Age of Disbelief. Don't let that scare you away. He is a wonderful writer and very uplifting man. Oh and Forgotten Truth: The Common Vision of the Worlds Religions is another must read. Really. Am I now the dork Queen? Maybe, I don't care.

I am reading Wordsworth today and a little Frost. I try to read (from a book with pages, not just online) every single day, even if it is just for a minute.

Ok I have been talking about that CD for weeks now, and you JUST NOW start talking about it. I have been trying to find someone to talk to about it. I love the whole CD.

P.S. I bought Dierks Bentley.....It is soooo good
(shhh...don't tell anyone but I also purchased NKOTB Super Hits, I jammed to it on the way home. But for some reason I couldn't stop giggling. Hangin' Tough made me laugh. Cause I mean come on, how tough were they really??)

 

[kpk89]

11:00 last night Li’l Zzub, pulled a Kim all over Mrs. ZZUB

What??!!??

Pay back is murder, isn’t it?!

Apparently so! I've never been likened to soupy chunky hurl before.

But I have to say, I like it. Not the metaphor or analogy or whatever it is you've penned here, necessarily. But I like having some zingers headed my way. Makes me know you think I can take it. That I'm not some whimpering, oversensitive weenie.

At least that's how I read it.

I hope that your lil one is feeling better. Sick kids just aren't funny.

Morning Shout out.

Um, Afternoon shout out

Hey my smiles are broken... no fair.

Good day to you all, Sheri, La2, Amy, Jen, Jen, Jen, Jen, Tink, Hoop, Poop, Chappie, Blue Eyes, Lou, Grammy, Sid, SNAP, H2O, MSG, WIFI, Minnie, Dana, Erin, MommyP, Jamal, Melly, Kim, Marky Mark and Rhonda, NAB, Newbies and Lurkers you too. Plus those I can not think of right now, gotta run.

Have a wonderful day.

Hey Haley,

Thanks for the shout out. I have a q/request. Do you have copies of the spreadsheet you made for your trip (minus your personal info) If so could you PM me so I can send you my email address???? I am trying to start getting my ducks in a row (and for whoever posted earlier on what that statement meant watch a duck and her babies sometime it will explain it) and I am feeling a little scatterbrained. I am getting TGM and I have PassPorter but I think I need something a little stronger? Or maybe I just need a little spice?

Thanks

I called home a little while ago to check on my daughter. She gets on the phone and tells me her head is still hurting but she's not throwing up anymore. My wife is pleased.

I asked her what I could bring her to make her feel better.

She gave me a list.

It includes: a balloon, a stuffed animal: either a dog, a polar bear or a Minnie and a new Barbie doll (evidently the other 275 she has just can't make her feel better). She has very specific tastes.

Here's the text of an email I received earlier today. My lefty friends and my right minded friends like Horse W. Girl should both appreciate it:

FINALLY, someone has come out with a 100% bipartisan political bumper
sticker. The hottest selling bumper sticker comes from New York state.

"RUN HILLARY RUN"

Democrats put it on the rear bumper.

Republicans put it on the front bumper.​

Word.

Last edited by kpk89 : Today at 02:38 PM. Reason: METRIC HELP!!! How much chicken is 700g? In regular ounces?

1.54 pounds of chicken now you can convert pounds to ounces.

 

[kpk89]

... You need help with a metric conversion and you post on the DIS to ask for help instead of googling the information.

Anybody know how much 700 grams translates to in ounces? I'm flummoxed. Math was never my thing.

Trying to make chicken korma but the recipe is Brit.

Helllllllp!

Kim see my above reference. If you still need it in ounces it's 24.69 ounces or 1.54 pounds of chicken

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

The bumper sticker is funny... very. Love it.

I'm sure you've seen mine.

You know? On the white van outside your window. Both at work, at home and at the nail place. Does a man like you really need a manicure? My vote is: No. With emphasis.

Anywho... it says:

SAVE BRITNEY SPEARS!

ROLL TIDE, BABY!!!

Mel my user name is actually my son's intials. I wanted him to help me pick a name and we couldn't come up with to much so I typed in his intials and you would think I bought him a car.He was jumping up and down and hugging me so that is why. He just turned 9.
I was the one that said "you were locked up three times". Maybe more if you keep going in the men's room.

Thought you might want to know.

 

[kpk89]

Thanks Dana!


NOW what am I going to do? I only have 1.52 pounds of chicken. Crap. The whole thing is ruined.

Thanks Dana!

I didn't get the reference because I have you on IGNORE. For my own protection.

You are SO mean. Mean... mean... mean...

Now I'll go cower in a corner and wait for your reply.

Roll TIDE!
