Misc....

First - a request - if you're going to post a story about your parents, siblings, children, friends etc that may, possibly, potentially make me cry PLEASE give a tissue warning. I've been hit by at least 2 blogs every morning this week and I'm not prepared!!! Help a girl with eye makeup out!!!

Second - a funny - 2 nights ago Gert & I were cleaning. We were doing their bathroom, and she wanted to help "fall clean" (her words)... so I gave her a Clorox wipe and told her to go clean the toilet. She wanted to know which part to do, so I told her to lift the seat and wipe around the top of the bowl. She did the "touch as little of the surface as possible" thing and then turned to me and said "I was NOT born for this."

Third - I get to see Mr. B on Sunday!!!!!!!!! Am I excited? um... YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been almost 6 weeks since I've seen him and I miss him immensely. Unfortunately our time together will be on the short side, but anything is better than nothing.

Fourth - I get to meet a blogger friend on Sunday!! Kat from Sunshine & Lemonade!!!! We're going out to lunch!!! I get to have lunch with an ADULT!!!!!!! And a fun Liberal one at that!!!!

Fifth - RANT AHEAD - WILL SOMEONE PLEASE FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SOME GOL DERNED GAS TO WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA?????????????? This is absofreekin' ridiculous. People are waiting in line for HOURS when a station finally gets gas in. I pass 18 gas stations between home and work. ONE had gas this morning... along with a line a half mile long in each direction. This is COMPLETELY crazy!!!!!!!! We're not even going to be able to go to church tonight because I can't use any extra gas....

Sixth - Have I told you all lately how much I just absolutely love you all and how reading your blogs and your comments on mine just makes my heart burst with happiness and how I wish I could win the lottery and rent a cruise ship and do a big bloggie buddy cruise??? No? Well, I just want to tell you all how much I just absolutely love you all and how reading your blogs and your comments on mine just makes my heart burst with happiness and how I wish I could win the lottery and rent a cruise ship and do a big bloggie buddy cruise.

A bit demanding this morning aren't we??? LOL kidding :) I'm excited for you for Sunday! Can't wait to hear all the juicy details mwahahahaha

Kori said...

I wouldn't read my post from last night if you have eye-makup on. There's you're warning. But I know you and I know you are going to read it. Better grab some tissues first.

And Lizzy I absolutely adore you. You're are wonderful and I love you for everything. So glad we are friends.

Lauren W said...

I love it :D Gert is too funny!
And yay for seeing Mr. B! Have fun with Kat, and good luck on that whole gas issue :)

Unknown said...

I agree I was so not born to clean the toilet. And hey, I gave you warnings so there! And yes a bloggy buddy cruise would be awesome. Drinks, laughs, drinks, and more laughs! Ah, if only....

Thanks for entertaining us once again with your blog.

sassy stephanie said...

Love you Gert...me either. ICK.

Great news about Mr. B!

Gas, scarce here too. Diesel is TOTALLY gone from everyone running generators.

Jen said...

Wow, it sound like you have a very fun weekend planned. Good for you!
I am all for a cruise. Maybe I should start playing the lottery so that this would have a chance of happening.

BTW, no crying in our neck of the woods, just funny. I hope.

Unknown said...

I am soo jelous that you get to meet a blog friend, I always wish that every one lived in the same neighborhood and we could meet for coffee or watch each other kids.

That ROTS about the whole gas thing. I see it on t.v and feel so bad. Do you know, (I shouldn't even tell you this) our gas prices are going down.
Go figure that one...

I don't think I was born for toilets either.

Ronda's Rants said...

Have fun with Mr. B and give Sunshine and Lemonade our love and if you want to do a Bloggy Cruise let me know and I'll see what kind of deals I can get!

Tam said...

Quirky said...

Gert is a funny one... I wonder where she gets it from :)

I'm so excited to hear about how wonderful it was to see Mr. B!

I'm sorry to hear about the gas situation... want me to send some from So. Cal?!

If there is a cruise, I better be invited. I get seasick, but I'll totally be there.

Nik said...

LOL I'm with Gert on that one! Living in a house with all boys, you can only imagine. I do ban them to only two bathrooms so I can have one that's all my own.

Oooh - I hope you enjoy your lunch with Kat! Laugh it up! Mr. B too? All in the same day? Can you SURVIVE that???

Hopefully the gas situation will filter through there in the next day. On the way to drop Cowboy off at school yesterday, there were 2 gas stations with gas that ran out (short lines though!) by the time I drove by in the afternoon. Thankfully I was able to fill up. The good news - driving around that afternoon and evening for football, I saw 3 stations WITH gas. ALL SHORT LINES!! I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it filters your way. It had been kind of creepy though!

I can't tell you how much you mean to me (us). You've been there through thick and thin and it's always nice to see you on or a new post from you. Thanks always making me smile.

KimmyJ said...

Love ya back, love muffin. Gert is one smart baby girl. Sign me up for that cruise - when you get rich and all.

Nonnas News said...

I love reading your blog too. You always make me laugh!! And thanks for always commenting on mine.A bloggy cruise would be so awesome, wouldnt it? I hope you have a great week!!

Wep said...

Sorry about the tears, and we love you too!!!

Aubrey said...

I hear ya girl! I just came from Wep's and was all teary! Tissue please.

You are way too funny girlfriend.

Gert & I are 2 peas in a pod. I was NOT born to do 'em either. That and tubs and trash. Nope.

I hope you get gas so you can make it to Mr. B!!

Alison said...

Noted on the tissue warning. I'm not guilty this week, though.

Yay for getting to see Mr. B! That is crazy about the gas, though. We haven't had any problems and we're in Texas--not where the hurricane hit, but still. (I assume that's the reason your area can't get gas?)

Heather said...

You are so darn sweet. We love you, too. I love to see your comments, and I love to read about Gert and Essie and Mr. B.

How awesome would a cruise be? With me and you and Lula and Heather and Tiffany and Jen and every other fun comment-leavin'/lovin' girl out there? My vote is Carnival, to Mexico, with margaritas by the gallon and pool boys at every turn. You know, to fan us off when we get too hot. That's all.

Have a great weekend! Want me to Fedex some gas?

Angie's Spot said...

We heart you too! Have fun with Kat this weekend. She's so AWESOME and I can't wait to hang out with her again in a couple of weeks. Oh, and say hi to Mr. B for us!

Susie said...

I don't know who I am more jealous of...Kat for getting to meet you or you getting to meet Kat!! I hope you guys have a great time and I can't wait to read both your blogs!!

Outnumbered2to1 said...

It must have been the post about Joe's lack of potty training, right? That got you all teary eyed? ME TOO!!! I love reading your blog too, so there.

Kathi Roach said...

That is so cool about Mr.B & getting to meet Kat!! What a fun day!! Can't wait to hear about it.

I LOVE all my bloggin friends too!! You guys rock!

oº˚ Homeschool Mom˚ºo said...

You can read mine, I don't think I ever post anything sad. Can't help with the gas -- I don't know what is going on with that. Thanks for sharing -- Much Love --

Dawn said...

I want a balcony room on the cruise ship!! That is crazy about the gas. Atlanta is having the same problem. I would expect that here where the storms hit, not there! It's scary when you can't buy gas! That's hilarious about Gert's statement! And she's right!! Yay for seeing Mr. B!! Did the girls meet him yet or do they still think he is a stick man?

wendy said...

Um...can I come on that cruise? I will be 40 this year and was supposed to go on TWO cruises. I'm not going on either. :(

And OMG, is your daughter funny! Tell her I was not made for cleaning potties either! :)

Deanna said...

That Gert is one smart girl! You just need to win that million so you can get a maid to clean those toilets PLUS have that bloggy cruise too! Ha!

Melissa B. said...

Perhaps Gas (of the petrol variety and otherwise) should be part of your platform? Hmmmmmmmm...I'll have to figure out how to work that into a question!

Keys to the Magic Travel said...

I cannot wait for Sunday! Thanks so much for the shout out - it appears that it's my day. I got a mention over at Two Dogs Running, too :-)

So, when are you working in your visit with Mr. B?

And what is this about a bloggy cruise? How did I miss that? I love to cruise. I am so ready to cruise again :-)

Lula! said...

Six fine reasons as to why I love you, I'm voting for you, and why I took (stole, made my own, whatever) the position of being your press secretary. In my plaid thong.

Trish said...

Tell Gert "me neither".

Tell Kat "Hi" (yeah, I'm jealous!)

Smooch Mr. B and tell him it's from me for making you so darn happy.

Oh, and tell yourself that the feeling is mutual and a cruise would be so much fun!!

Melisa S. said...

Where do I sign up for this cruise??

Have fun with Mr. B!!

Joy said...

I'm likin' this idea of the cruise. Count me in. I think we could definitely fill a cruise ship.

Debbie said...

Hey you get to meet Kat before me. No fair...I've known her longer!

I am blown away by this no gas thing down south. We seem to have gas...so what's up with that?

I am glad you get to see Mr.B. Are we ever going to see a picture of the two of you together? Tell him I demand one NOW!

And lastly, I am sending you a super ginormous cyber hug for just being you...and making me laugh...always.
