Reading, seeing and hearing

[MommyPoppins]

G-cat - LOL! My DH also thinks that he is 17. Last time we went to the beach he also got a skim board. He always watched all those young boys do it and thought he too was young. He lost it, fell, and a wave made the board bounce up and hit the back of his thigh/butt...kinda close to the jewels. I don't think I ever had such a good laugh. He has since said that the skim board is for the boys.

Your husband just proved this redneck joke is true:

What are the most common last words of rednecks? "Hey! Watch this."

What are the second most common last words of rednecks? "That looked fun. Lemme try!"​

I'm with Rhonda, though. You gotta shrink down your pics. I got pretty darn ill trying to eat my salad (what?! Did we lose a war?) and scroll back and forth. I about pulled a Kim. (I don't care for your definition, Kim. I'll use my own).

LaLaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! We'll need more keyboards in here. Where is that woman?!

 

[brandt79]

Ga! Loved the mini-TR! And you have to do one in October - in fact, I expect all of you Trip writers to write a TR for Oct so those of us stuck at home can get the full perspective!

But seriously, your kids (and yourself by the way) are beautiful, and it sounds like you had a great time until Wednesday night.

 

[SoNotAPrincess]

GCat - Most excellent beach saga. Poor Brian. Being the proud owner of three meniscal tears in my knee and headed for surgery myself, I feel for him. Oh, the agony!

You must, must, MUST do a WDW trip report...seriously.

Bee-yoo-ti-ful chilluns!

 

[GeorgiaAristocat]

Maelstromers are FAST. I mean that in a good way.

Thanks everyone for NOT skipping the mini trippie. Gratification.

ZZUB - yes, we hit the big time with the Wal-Mart. Usually I'm more of a Target girl, but Target doesn't usually have good 'ronis. And the boy thinks they are the base of the food pyramid. Really. He refuses to eat corn or any other vegetable.
edited to add, since you edited to add: I take any and all compliments about my kids. Even from complete strangers. (Although I will subsequently keep them close to me until they are out of eyeshot.) And yes, he's living proof of many redneck jokes, the loveable hunk.
La2 - Thanks girl - I like the lighthouse one myself. Lucky shots when I get them both looking the same direction and laughing. Most of my photos show one of them looking at me, and the other looking at the one looking at me. Ya know?
Rhonda - you were too fast. I've fixed the photo sizes now. Far less painful. Don't worry, I'm going to inflict a trippie on everyone in October anyway.
YAK - Thanks for looking at the photos. And I hope never again to forget you on the shoutout.
MP - I think I will try and sell the skim board on the next beach trip. Maybe.
And more people responded before I could finish my response. And the stupid server is acting up again. Someone kick it for me. Isn't MG in the server room?
Brandt and SNAP- many thanks for the kind words. Yes, SNAP, those are probably the ones that will require surgery. That we will have to pay for this time. Joy. I just got the hospital paid off from the last round of x-rays, etc. And Brandt - - you are a gem! (It's the aftereffects of complimenting me and the kids!)

The coolest thing I've ever had in my backyard is a moose.

Kimmie - this made me spray my flat-screen monitor. Tickled sweetie!

 

[GADISNEYGIRL]

Amy. I KNOW you did not expect us all to be working when there was something more interesting to do... like read a trippie. Please. I thought you knew us better than that.

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

I just printed off 4 TR's

I'll have some good reading tonight at Soccer.

At half time, of course.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Hey Guys,

I gotta roll for the rest of the day but just wanted to say:

Hi ~ everyone!

Pongo ~ I don't think you need any more purses. You're good. For now. But if you need to get rid of a few... my DH is looking for a cute little summer bag.

LaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaLaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ~ Your office memo was great!!! Except for picking on the poor girl from the pastry shop.

Horsey ~ Where's horsie?

GeorgiaA ~ I loved your little trippie. And... I agree with everyone else: you must do a big trippie AND you have a beautiful family. All of you.

Kim ~ Thanks for your post on my TR. You're not THAT mean. After all.

Master G ~ I thought your comments about the siege of Les Chefs were funnier than what I wrote. Glad you're liking it. And that you work in a noisy environment. I think. Plus, I liked how you picked on ZZUB today.

Everyone who picked on ZZUB today ~ thanks. LY~MI.

ED ~ you know.

Now... I have to go pick up some friends for dinner. And be sad.

Later, Mel.

Shout out to all! Consider yourself shouted at! (In a nice way -- the "hey, how ya doin'? way. Not the "I'm so mad I could POP!" way)


LaLa --- I thought of you today while driving to the garage for an oil change. Had the radio on and heard "Next thing You Know" by Matthew West (I think?) and it had this lovely little "la la la la LA lalalala " part. I smiled and thought of you.

And then when I switched stations, I heard

Said if you want to call me baby
Just go ahead now
And if you like to tell me maybe
Just go ahead now
And if you wanted to buy me flowers
Just go ahead now
And if you like to talk for hours
Just go ahead now

And I thought of you AGAIN, because I know you know that one.


Truly, ZZUB. If you're going to associate my name with vomit, I must insist that it be as a target, not an office puker, frequent puker, or a weak-stomached barrister. I have been on the receiving end of the technicolor yawn enough times to have earned that much respect. ok maybe respect isn't just the word I'm looking for. but you get it, right? I'm a mom, benember?

 

[Minnie]

[ Brian decided to give it “just one more try.”

Remember those words, folks. If you hear them. JUST STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING. Nothing good ever follows those words.

You are all tooooo right on that one. My last "just one more time" consisted of rolling my four wheeler followed by a trip to the ER, followed by emergency surgery for a collapsed lung. - Chest tubes are NOT a fast pass

Hope your DH is on the mend soon

 

[LaLa]

LaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaLaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ~ Your office memo was great!!! Except for picking on the poor girl from the pastry shop.

Thanks Mama. You know I love you though right? I wouldn't pick on ya if I didn't think you could handle it. Ahem. (((KISS)))

Everyone who picked on ZZUB today ~ thanks. LY~MI.

It was our pleasure.

La2: RE: your memo. This might explain why you haven't set up that new file for me or made coffee yet.

Just so ya know, it took me less time to whip out that memo than it took for you to nuke that bag of pork skins you ate for lunch. Which, by the way, They don't like either. You keep stinkin up the joint. Their words. Not mine.

But in all seriousness though, I'm glad your DD is doing better. Your wife too.

That's so sweet Kim. And although I don't recognize either one of those songs, it makes me happy to know you thought of me and smiled anyway. LY/MI 89 Sista.

Ahem.

It has come to my attention that there is speculation as to whether or not I have a uni-brow, a third eye or a hair lip because I haven't posted my photo.

The reason I haven't posted my photo is twofold. 1) I don't have any recent photos...I'm the taker not the takee, and 2) Why would I want to out myself as a non-hottie in this maelstrom of hotties?

But speculate no more! I took the photo below with the office camera. I promise that I really do have a top of my head. I'm just not a very good self picture taker.

I'm out...off to earn some Disney dollars for the kidlets to spend in October.

If this comes out superhuge, I apologize. I tried to resize it, and I don't have time to play with it anymore.

image deleted - if you missed it...lucky you!

 

[GeorgiaAristocat]

SNAP - while I had not heard any of that speculation, I am highly appreciative of the photo nonetheless. You worry too much! You're beautiful! You actually look like someone that used to work in our office (she moved to a different office) which makes me automatically like you even more. You are both sweeties!

smooches - thanks for the photo!

Alright now I'm feelin guilty cuz I ain't put my mug up yet either. (I'm with you SNAP). I guess when I get home I will have to try to find one decent picture (or maybe scan one) that I can post here. I too am a little fearful of all these b-e-a-utiful creatures around here. I think I would feel too much like Quasimodo.

ATTENTION OCTOBER MEETERS


I need a head count please. PM me your deets.

Thanks!!

 

[HaleyB]

By the way, your kids are beautiful. I don't mean that in a creepy internet pervy way, I mean it in a nice way. Well as nice as a compliment can be about your kids from an almost complete stranger you've never met.

Oh for gosh sakes Zzub, just because we don't know your actual name, or what sort of law you practice, or even exactly what state you live in, you are not a stranger. Heck I know more about you than my BIL. Really. You are part of the family, like it or not.

ps- Glad to hear lil Zzub is feeling better.

 

[HaleyB]

Moral of this (very long and boring) story: 33 year old knees and skim boards don’t mix. Sun, Surf, and (ice cream) meltdowns do. Choose your poison wisely.

(Isn’t everyone SOOOOO looking forward to me writing a TR after a 9 day trip to the world? I will be able to give others a run at who can drag it out the longest. Really!)

GeorgiaCat I loved your mini-trippie, and you even finished it. Gold star for you. I hope your DH is on the mend soon. Ouch. I made Mr. Silly get rid of his skateboard a while back. I think it is less of a red-neck thing and more of a man thing.

Is it October yet?

THANK YOU RHONDA. Got it now. And yes, Kim, I love that song, just didn't register a second ago. My bad. But now I think Rhonda owns that one though.

SNAP: Oh Snap. You're so cute! Thanks for posting.

Okay yall. I had an Asian Chicken Salad from McDonalds for lunch today. With edamame. And I smiled. And if you don't know what edamame is, just Google it.

Hoop- I showed my son the Care Bear, didn't like it to much. But got excited
over your images. He wanted me to change it this morning. Yeah right.
Anyway I worked on it all afternoon. I copied your image into my
photos. Now I have Mario in my family photos.I couldn't for the life of
me get the picture small. I even lost it for a bit. So long story short
Hubby fixed it, should have watched how he did it but I was making
dinner. No picture , no dinner.....well not really.

GaCat- Love your mini-trip report and beautiful pictures.
