The Kitchen Sink

Our driveway is no longer a mud pit, thanks to the gravel guy who stalked us while we were in the van, tracked us down, jumped us in my yard and held us at gun point until we agreed to hire him to do our driveways. It almost got ugly. OK, so it was more like he stalked us, tracked us down, and Alice, Larry and I all jumped him and demanded he get these mud pits filled in ASAP!
Now we have beautiful, glistening white driveways. Ahhh, refreshing, like the old 7up commercials that had the guy with the deep accent.


Have you seen this photo yet? How cute is this? Totally adorable. Makes me want a kitty again. Maybe if I remove Logan's name from the answering machine he will come home. I keep dreaming about him. Traitorous cat!

My sister called the other day to tell me she is getting married! On their 6th anniversary he popped the question with a platinum engagement ring! She still hasn't sent me a photo- I have to get on her about that. She wants me as a bridesmaid, which requires saving vasts amount of money to travel to Scotia, NY. We will make a vaca out of it! I will have to use my vacation thing we bought and see all of my family while we are up there! It's not for a year, so we're good. Gives me time to shed some pounds, too. We will do the fittings here; she will get the bridesmaid's dresses at a chain like David's Bridal or something.

She lives in Boston, but she thinks they will have the ceremony at Grandma Betty's (Lutheran)church. Betty has passed away, but Papa hasn't missed a Sunday since, and he never would go before. She doesn't think that Saint John's church will marry them, since he isn't as, um, involved as she is. And when I say involved, I mean that he isn't born again, doesn't profess to serve only the lord, and be his slave, etc etc. He beleives, and that is enough for her.

Hmmm, was that a bit aggressive? I am only teasing. You would have to know our family to understand. Ma and I don't call her ex-husband Saint John for nothing, lol, and that is Laura's dad. We grew up as holy rollers, dancing in the aisles, moving in the spirit, calling out in tongues, calling out interpretations, joyful joyful joyful ha ha kind of stuff. And that was only on Wednesdays... come Sunday, look out!

I got suckered into babysitting for Gage and Hailey tonight because Jan had to go out of town to help out her sister, the bank robber. Jan has such an interesting life. It's awesome! So there are two kids camped out on Tessa's floor, not sleeping and being naughty, I am sure. Austin is on the couch with Bruce watching Cars Austin just went to bed, and I got my feet up on the desk. Its the only way I sit here, unless Brandy is attached to my boob. Just so ya know, I usually blog while breastfeeding. There's an image for ya! Actually, I have a real picture of me feeding her because Alice is psychotic and nabbed a few. I sent them to myself, because my mental health isn't much better than hers. I'd post them, but damn, there is a lot of nipple showing; I'll keep that to myself. Too bad y'all now have the mental image burned into your brains. Mu ha ha, I am evil.

Actually, I don't believe in evil. I have this theory that there is no such thing as evil, just our perception of it. Society is what decides what is moral and good and right as well as what is bad, twisted, wrong or evil- I think some people just have different priorities, and different ways of getting there. The sick stuff we can just chalk up to psychosis. Since psychosis is defined by the head shrinks, and we all know that their word is better than natural law, y'all know I am right!

Wow, I am really on a roll tonight. That is what I get for not posting anything but fluff for the past week. I still have a meme to do that Ma tagged me for, but I am not in a hurry to do it. I'll get around to it... eventually.

Until next time!

Oh my poor eyes, my brain she is tarnished by thoughts and visions of you breastfeeding at the keyboard!! You are weird, that's a term of endearment around here but I may make an exception for you in this case.

Psychosis, that is some funny stuff. I swear head shrinks think they are god, they must be satanists or chaotes... oh wait I am chaote DAMN! thanks you reminded me of that post I wanted to do but didn't get to write it down. Black, white, like you said it's all perception!

I so want to go to Boston (I love the way Boston sounds just thinking about it)and find out why I am so attracted to it. It's only a 6 hour drive from here. In-laws are reconsidering helping me get my license. I guess they needed a year to get over the fact that they needed "tough love" to get their ass in gear.

Hmmm, maybe I will post that pic o my boob... ::evil grin::
shrinks can be weird. I look forward to your post! I went to boston on a school field trip when I lived in clifton park, NY. I loved the Boston Common! Maybe it has to do with a past life or something. I swear I lived in the 60s and died young or something! You know, I will be in upstate NY next spring, wanna crash my sister's wedding?
In laws? I got those, too.

On a roll is great! I'm sure your sister's wedding will be great and the church will go ahead and let them. If not, talk her into a Wiccan Wedding!

I saw a few featured on the Discovery Health Channel while I was watching it like crazy for "Baby Story" while pregnant. They had weddings and all. I really liked the Wiccan services and the meaning/style of them. Not so cliche'. =O)
