They're a-comin'!
The holidays, I mean. Haven't done a lick of Christmas shopping, although I did make out my Christmas card list last night. And yes, there are a few of you on there...and some I don't have addresses for that I need (don't worry, I have my ways of getting them, heh). Getting ready to pack up and head to Oklahoma for Turkey Day, we'll leave Wednesday morning and return sometime on Saturday...possibly Sunday if we stay a night in Burleson (south of Fort Worth) with Ron's aunt. That's pretty doubtful, though. I'm making cookies to take with us and stuff to make Hot Corn. I feel like I should take some kind of a meat dish, although I don't know what the hell I'd take. Maybe some chili? But my mom is taking deer chili. And tamales. I'm sure we'll have turkey and ham as well, and my uncle will probably bring a turducken. Pies? We'll probably have those out the wazoo as well...I know that my mom is taking a cherry pie and a pecan pie. Any suggestions would be most welcome. And I'm about to go post my Hot Corn recipe on the porch, so feel free to use that if you like.
Thought I'd throw in some things that I got an email today that I found rather humorous...
How To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity
1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "in"
5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
6. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for sexual favors".
7. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy."
8. Dont use any punctuation marks
9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
10. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.
11. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go".
12. Sing along at the opera.
13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.
14. Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.
15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.
16. Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard Kim.
17. When the money comes out the ATM, scream "I won!", "I won!" "3rd time this week!!!!!"
18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "run for your lives, they're loose!!"
19. Tell your children over dinner. "due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."
Catch ya on the flip side.
