Ohiofarmgirl'sAdventuresinTheGoodLand-where ya been? whatcha been doin

[ohiofarmgirl]

So.... Sunday we all post our bail right?

exactly!

after dragging me feet to get there i'll paste on a holly jolly smile and take TWO big pizza servings and declare its The Best Pizza EVER! what a great idea! and then help by throwing away the festive holiday paper plates.

and no - she doesnt think i'm fun or funny.. at all. ever. not even once. even if i held up a "joke" sign she wouldnt laugh. i'm pretty sure she refers to me at "that un-funny woman who stole my son."

i probably just sit quietly and sing the doxology from our church in my head. and dream of the next day with our fun neighbors....

....while i'm sitting on their couch with poodles trying to bite me, no place to put my big glass o' booze down because she's a horder (ish) and there isnt an empty surface, the tv blaring an online shopping show, and either being quoted chapter and verse why this ISNT the "coldest winter ever" (which would be her reply to my off hand comment)... or having to hear about her mammogram (the previous sunday's topic).

oh golly. maybe i'll whip up a case or rabies to get out of it?

ha!

nah. i'll be a good sport. mostly. just answer the phone, java...

;-)

D - thats hilarious. how much more family could you get? ha!

and not to worry - the vegan thing wont last. at all. but it made for some great jokes on the way home. we tried to joke with them that we would be their Adkins equivalent seein' as how we just butchered our pigs... but then she went and got the latest book on how to be a vegan and tried to make me read it.

me: no
she: read it
me: no
she: read it NOW
me: no

sigh.... do you think 11:32 in the AM is too early for that whiskey bacon eggnog??

oh wait - i gotta sign off.. i gotta call my neighbor at work and tell her that her cow is mooing. i'm not kidding.

*giggles* You could put on terrible sores and cough a lot. At least they would keep their distance.

I strongly considered not going to mine, but I weighed the cost-benefit analysis in my head of the situation and opted to go. I'll be posting in my blog all about it.

Oh heck. Pick off every single piece of pepperoni and feed all of it to the poodles.

Don't get mad.....get even.....

"The sun aint out and that old clock is movin' slow
And so am I
The workday passes like molasses in wintertime
but pigs gotta die

I'm not paid by the hour gettin' older by the minute
My In-laws just pushed me over the limit
I'd like to call her somethin'
I think I'll just call it a day

Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only 11:32 but I don't care
It's 5 O'clock somewhere"

You guys are much too entertaining and make me appreciate my warm and loving family. I think they are kinda normal.....I guess that gives me bragging rights. I don't really have any complaints about mine, only compliments.

Except my MIL who we have disowned, so that makes it easy.

I got suckered into the in laws for both Christmas Eve and then the marathon on Christmas day. It's all about the kids right? They want to spend time playing with their cousins.

Wanna know why dh agreed to it all? Because we probably won't be here next year. I asked if he wanted me to tell his mom that?

Do we have an eveil smile smiley???

So we need a standard reply. One we can use on the weird people. So every time we say it we can think of each other. A united front. Joined on common ground. Hummmm....

How about " that's great, but have you ever had Whiskey Bacon Eggnog?" Won't that leave them stunned?

How about " that's great, but have you ever had Whiskey Bacon Eggnog?"

I am SO going to use that.

 

[FarmerChick]

it is NEVER to early for a bacon eggnog

EVER

won't hurt ya...make her happy....go on your way

sometimes ya just gotta do what ya gotta do......if you fight it you will grow old before your time, that stress ya know-----but if you just smile, live thru the time lost in your life and smile, heck you might just gain a day to your life

ahhh, it is no biggie gal and you will be fine

I love pizza...but me, I eat pepperoni only so how about I take your place for you?

 

[noobiechickenlady]

Great idea, Tanks!
I really can't wait until we get to my in laws. I loves them, they're way cooler than my family
We're thinking ladies night. That means I get to drink all night (well, until about 12 or so) and watch Granna do the Halle berry or some other such funky modern dance that she can actually pull off :bun Fun times!

 

[Wifezilla]

Go Granna!!!
