Where to even start.
Friday night I went to the resort after work. We had dinner and then the four of us (Mimi, Essie, Gert & Me) went down to the resorts little mini-golf course and played a round. We had a blast. Gert is a typical 5-year-old mini-golfer - pretty much have to bend all rules for her. Essie actually does a pretty good job. She's no Tiger but she did Grrrrreat. (I'm so tired that was REALLY funny in my head). So we got done golfing and headed back to the condo. Essie wanted to open the door, so when we pulled up, she grabbed the key and ran to the door. Then proceeded to run right BACK to the car, jump in and dissolve in complete HYSTERICS. Apparently there was a SKUNK next to the door. It didn't spay her, but it scared the CRAP out of her. SO she won't get out of the car. Ever. Mimi goes to the door, both of us sure that the skunk was more scared of Essie, and we're right, it's gone. But Essie IS. NOT. BUDGING. I spent about 20 minutes cajoling and reasoning while she's practically hyper-ventilating. Finally agree that I will give her a piggy back to the door. Yes. I am an ox. I gave a piggy back ride to a very large 9-year-old. We got her safely in the house and finally calmed down. We were doing quite well until we were playing a rousing game of Uno later, and I said to Mimi after a string of draw 2's in her direction, "I skunked you!!!" (Yes, I'm passive aggressive. Yes, I take out my frustrations with my mother through a card game. Deal with it)... of course the word SKUNK instantly sent Essie BACK into hysterics. ARGH!!!!!!
But the next day, the WEBKINZ Skunk was PERFECTLY okay to hold and love and beg mommy for. Yeah. Right.
I got a phone call from Gert's Kindergarten teacher last night. Mrs. Motley. Oh the jokes... She sounds like a nice lady with a VERY thick Southern Accent so I'm expecting Gert to come out the other end of Kindergarten able to read and make most 1 syllable words sound like 2.
Finally - I think that place name should be copyrighted. For example, there shouldn't be a COUNTRY Georgia and a STATE Georgia, because as I'm not paying attention to the news show I have on, I just catch bits and pieces and keep wondering why the Russians are headed for Atlanta.....

I know I thought the same thing about the Russians attacking Georgia.
And what is the deal with these questions. Did I miss something? Guess I better go read and see.
Ok found it any and all questions... what a brave soul you are. Ok I gotta think of something good. I'll email you in a bit.
Yes aren't skunks fun creatures. We had one saunter by us in a campground once.
At least it didn't spray anyone!
What, no pics of the skunk or the piggy back ride?
Yeah, the Georgia thing threw me for a loop too!!!
Snort, giggle, guffaw. Oh man, poor Essie wouldn't make it around here, L!! LOL Our little doggie has been skunked twice, once horridly when she still was with Dave - he had to ride home with her sitting beside him in his little pickup truck!! And again after she came to live with us. Skunks take up residence in our barn way too often.
And I'm so there with you on the place names, reading the headlines in today's paper I thought the same thing! Can you tell I haven't had a chance to watch or listen to any news lately?? Oy
The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!! I know...I had to do a double take when that came on the news too. A skunk would freak me out too, but with my luck I would've scared a spray out of it.
What a relief it didn't spray her. That would've been awful. Don't you have to take a bath in tomato juice to get rid of the smell? Yuck.
HAHAHA
I was just thinking that about Georgia! Gotta love WEBKINZ, even if they have skunks! Your poor baby!!!
PS... I am addicted to Webkins and my name there is Geegers!!!
I think I would have reacted the same way as Essie did when she saw the skunk!! I might have needed a piggy back ride too!
Sp did the sound work for you? Is it just my stupid computer? Cause it can't seem to hear but bits and pieces.
Wait...the Russians are headed for Atlanta??? I kid, I kid.
LOVE the Georgia comment!
I dig the smell of skunk...I kinda have to, as it's usually enveloping my house in its peculiar embrace on a daily basis. Loads of skunks up here in the kuntry.
And the Georgia comment? SO WITH YOU! I keep thinking, "What's Russia's big beef with my beloved home state? Don't those people know I can take them. Take them DOWN, that is!"
My 10-year-old son called me frantically to the computer yesterday, "Mom, you've got to SEE this!". The front page of WCPO.com (our local news) had a picture of tanks and the headline "Russia invades Georgia". That poor kid, he was terrified. Took me right back to the days of the Cold War, when we had a bomb shelter at my elementary school, and the movie Red Dawn scared the crap out of me.
Lula, you really like the smell of skunk? Gotta say, a little weird.
Skunk...run for you life...or grab a shot gun.....
And yes, when I heard Georgia and Russia used in the same phrase, I was all, "huh." Of course, the world has stopped since I got that second blog going....I've lost my mind. REally.
Poor Essie! I hope she's recovered from the skunk incident now. LOL!
And I'm in total agreement about the name copyrighting. This whole Russian thing has got me in a tizzy everytime I hear the news from the other room.
