Good Story Bro, Tell It Again

I know a few of you will TRULY appreciate this :-)… txt conversation between Courtney and Ashley. This has greater meaning if you also know that one of Ashley’s good friends’ last name is Bro (and we say that all the time). [ http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2012/09/01/brickelle-took-5th/ ] Jeff said, his kids’ arguing is driving him to drink!

I know it’s not 100% but it’s FUNNY and… THEY DIDN’T USE “epic” AT ALL!! 🙂 [on their behalf, it’s possible that “I” improperly transcribed…

considering they were both in class (high school 11th english & college english) and attempting to txt without being caught… courtney said she laughed out loud & had to share w/ class/professor

Courtney (txt’ing Ashley) – “Quote: “Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker.””

Ashley (txt’ing reply to Courtney) -“True story bro”

C- “That is such an ineloquent response to such a statement- that never a truer truth have been uttered – that I cannot speak to you henceforth.”

A- “I sincerely beg your pardon, as I was previously engaged in the dull activity of pulling graphite against paper, that I could not adequately respond to your lovely allegory.”

C- “I shall endeavor to grant amnesty upon you as I had not been cognizant of your previous pursuit, even with something as dull as practicing your penmanship; in return I only ask that in forthcoming colloquies exchanged betwixt the both of us that you aspire to simply withhold commentary until you are able to reciprocate with the prime of your abilities.”

A- “I shall reiterate my previous mea culpa and henceforth only reply in ways which appease your exorbitant standards.”

C- “I disagree with your analysis of my standards which states that they are ‘exorbitant’ as I do not believe that they exceed or defy in any way the protocol in which the framework of confabulation between two individuals is structured.”

A- “I contend with your disagreement. Exorbitant, as it were, has multiple meanings. I use it in such a way to illustrate that your standards are above the proletariat norms.”

C- “I protest! My standards, as they were, are neither extreme, inordinate, nor unwarranted–they are rather quotidian and are practiced by a preponderance of the commonwealth. Your standards, per contra, seem comparatively exiguous and do not appear to be equitable to societal adequation.”

…the phrase “I done learned them good” has refreshed meaning 🙂

HAHA!!! My Aunt Cheryl gave me a brilliant idea!! Instead of promoting teenagers talking trash using “ghetto slang.” Courtney & Ashley should start an 18th century proper English revolution! ]

Purple Monday

[pics incl] Around here, purple Monday means to wear Rockies colors, but today, even though there IS a Rockies game (FYI, last night Todd Helton had 2500’th hit!), our kids appeared coincidentally all wearing purple!

They used to do this on purpose when they were little! Usually, they wouldn’t be caught dead dressing the same now… Jeff bribed them with pie to get them to pose for a picture. 🙂

Banana Bread Breakfast

[pics incl] An attempt at turning mom’s (Patsy) banana bread into breakfast food 😉 [http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/recipes/breads/patsys-banana-bread/ ] No fires or smoke were induced with this cooking attempt 😉 [http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2013/02/22/was-that-a-fire-alarm ] My house/kitchen/pantry have all been rearranged since I last baked anything. I knew this beforehand but it’s one thing to know about it vaguely and another to actually discover where all the stuff was moved!

I couldn’t bake before my surgeries, so I can’t use that as an excuse 😉

Attempt #1 is banana bread (some w/ blueberry to see if we like that)

Attempt #2 is banana-zucchini, it sunk and looks like a fail but tastes fabulous… have no idea how to fix that.

Attempt #3 is back to banana w/blueberry

My Personal Phlebotomist

Had a thyroid doctor appointment this morning, just routine visit. My favorite personal leech was waiting and all ready with the tiny butterfly needles, hot compresses, double bands, etc. This particular office doesn’t usually see children so she has to bring them special, just for me. She was appalled at the damage left on “my good arm” and was unable to get through the scarring on that vein. 🙁 I think that was her first miss ever in 10yrs! (didn’t hurt though) Second spot success… She said she used to work at a drug rehab and I’m still her worse patient ever. Look, I’m good at something 😉

I missed her! I called her boss, just to say how much I missed her on my hospital stays!

Gonna have another thyroid ultrasound, just because Doc thinks I should, no other real reason. I’ll keep you posted on all the results in near future.

Courtney the IT Geek

We have completely corrupted Courtney to the point that I’d feel comfortable letting her resolve most minor software issues. Today, we were discussing upgrading all our systems and she went into an impressive tirade bashing MS software logic. She even used IT buzz words and appropriately praised linux. 😉 I just sat there in awe, totally laughing and wished I had “before & after” video of her progression into IT geek! [the other three kids are pretty IT fluent too]

Sky Pics

[pics incl] The house is getting a makeover so I was snapping photos. I realized as I was flipping through the pics, that there is a rainbow in the distance 😉 I stepped out back and got the rainbow centered in the clouds.

Hail and a LOT of Rain

[pics incl] We dodged the golf ball size hail! It was raining so hard, it washed away a lot of the hail. The river ran through our backyard (it was scarier in the video I took later)!

Clarification Counts

I have a cold. Jeff asked how I’m doing. “Ok, I guess. I’ve been gargling with salt water and listerine.” I felt him staring at the back of my head so I clarified, “Not at the same time!” He said he was trying to imagine the explosion in my mouth 🙂

Normally a cold is nothing to write about but the docs were concerned that I don’t have enough clear sinus cavity [yes, I still have the clot] to add a sinus infection. It’s hard to keep 6 people healthy especially when all 4 kids are exposed to germs at 4 different schools. I’ve been harassing them about staying healthy and not getting me sick. They complied… I caught this cold from Jeff. 😉

Sooo, this cold feels like: a sinus cold & sore throat. I have lived the “it could be worse” scenario so… YAY! It’s just a cold 😉 Shhhh, I’m loving the everyone doting on me for a cold, I figure I gotta use it now, it’ll only work “this” time. 😉

Change in Meds

I’m officially off the anti-seizure meds! I never had a seizure, it was just precautionary but I’m glad to be off those! I think they were causing some of the dizziness, blurred vision, nausea & lack of sleep! Trying something different for lack of sleep… pretty much haven’t slept since March.

I’ve actually been picking the kids up from school, and trying to get back into “normal life routine” here and there. Still get worn out & have throbbing head & I’m extremely hypersensitive to loud sounds, but I’m getting there. Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers!

Self-Flushing Toilets

Dear business owners of self-flushing toilets, I get WHY you have them, really, I do… but I have pertinent information:

Can I please SIT before it flushes?
Can I please START before it flushes?
Can I please FINISH before it flushes?
Can I please STAND before it flushes?
Can I please STEP AWAY before it flushes?

Your 4-5 times of self-flushing uses more water than I do!

AND, It’s bad enough that guys make messes but when the mess is self-inflicted by the potty, “we gals” will never progress!

Thank you on behalf of “the gals!”

PS… now can we discuss the dang automated sink that comes on when you aren’t there and not when you are?!?
