Okay, Tabby now you've made me want to share.

Last night I was sitting on the couch and I decided to play guitar. Before going any further you should know that I'm not the most coordinated person you've ever met. That said, when I went to pick up my guitar, I hit myself in the lip with it. My lip was bleeding so I went to the bathroom to get tissue paper to sop up the blood. On my way back to the living room I accidentally kicked the coffee table. So I was hopping around with curses streaming from my bloody lips and a swollen little toe when the doorbell rings.

I limp over and answer the door and my neighbor takes one look at me and says in her best Ethel voice, "Oh, Lucy what have you done to yourself now?"

while i haven't checked the 'specifics' (or pacific statistics, being as we live in california) due to the fog i live in--and sometimes even blurry-skied weather--well, i can tell you this:
last weekend our entire neigborhood had santas slashed and reindeer stolen and bulbs broken and lights scattered, and not one thing was taken from next door!
i did see that she has even more frou frou than last year, but will have to see what she added to the 'nightmare of a highchair with the carebear on the top stair'.

aha, i see that tabbyking is mousetering up a 'cat in the hat' report on the house next door! i'll print it here when i have gotten the gory details down--and after i have that diet lunch--i will look at the neigbor's house. :) lalalalalalaaaaaaaaaaa

Funny thing that happened to hubby once:

I was in New Orleans overnight, leaving hubby and son to fend for themselves.

Hubby was sitting in den, reading the newspaper and playing with our JRT. When he went to stand up, he had a severe pain in his groin area, so bad he buckled to his knees. He yelled for son to run to neighbors to get help.

Dog thinks he wants to play, so jumps up on him, accidently biting him on ear.

Neighbor thinks he's having a heart attack, so calls 911, later cancelling call.

Hospital has been alerted they are on their way. Doctor is waiting at emergency door, anticipating heart attack.

When they arrive at hospital, the er door swings open and there's hubby bleeding from head, holding his groin area with hysterical neighbor. It took all the er staff had not to pop out laughing.

It was kidney stones.

the louse of a house
is next door to me
want a visual?
well, let me see

i see the carebear
on the top stair
on its fat rump
in a highchair

who had the gall
to mix this with that
i know it can't be
their indoor cat

and 8 tiny angels
how they do glow
as they all ride
the pink flamingo

and JC, he smiles
at virginal gal
cause mary is placed
by dolphin and pal

who had the gall
to mix this with that
i know it can't be
their indoor cat

candy cane sticks
stand 6 feet tall
while midget santa
you can't see at all

ribbons and streamers
flow here and there
wherever you walk
they grab at your hair

(unless you are tall
like my uncle joat
who catches the ribbon
right at his throat}

who had the gall
to mix this with that
i know it can't be
their indoor cat

strings of lights
with wires askew
"who did this house?"
i want to ask you

who made this mess
with colors that clash
and all the elve's robes
not closed with a sash


they may think it's fetching
but if i look to my right
my throat is retching
my belly's clenched tight

8 stuffed bears
with chartreuse hairs
and a tree looking funny
hung with a bunny

who had the gall
to mix this with that
i know it can't be
their indoor cat

the louse of a house
sits right next to me
i've told you about it
now i have to pee


well, that's what i think it probably looks like! i will get details and maybe snapshots of it later! usually when people drive by a neighborhood, they slow down and 'ooh and ahh' at pretty houses. when they drive by our neighbor's house they speed up or laugh out loud or throw their fast food wrappers at the cemetery spindles sitting atop the cement block fence.

omg Tabs...that's the funniest "Cat In The Hat" you've ever done!! Forget the pictures, who needs pictures??!!!!

Twinkie

Friday, December 05, 2003 - 01:34 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
YES! We want to see this! Pictures!

Ok, I'm freaking out now. I casually mentioned to DH today that the flippen crickets outside seem to get louder everyday. And he said crickets??? What crickets??? I muted the TV and said you don't hear that??? He said I don't hear anything, dear. Now I know he's not deaf, so now I'm freaking out wondering what's wrong with me! Is this just in MY ears??? ARRRGGGGG

Holy crap!
I can't believe that!

Who would do such an unsightly thing?
Not one with a feather, not one with a wing!

Only a human would do such a thing
Get a bunch of junk and fling, fling, fling.

Scatter it here and scatter it there
We're lucky it's not their underwear!

To Tabbyking I send my apologies
That your eyes must witness such atrosities.

But we thank you for sharing all the details
We so enjoy all of your tales!

we only have crickets here in the fall. they get between the two sets of doors at penney's and she screams. no wait, penneys is a store. well, people scream when they are in the little area between the two sets of doors. well, okay, I scream when i am between the two sets of doors. anyway, every morning from mid-september til the end of october, some poor penneys person has to try and clear out several hundred crickets before they can open the store. can you imagine that listed on your resume?
i'm glad i don't have that job because it wouldn't enhance my application for my dream job (okay, i was 7!) of being a nun lion-tamer.

zules et al,
thanks for the zithers the comments the dope
dope? who gave me dope? to help poor me cope
with neighbors who scatter and stream and spill
directly causing this area's landfill

tossed things here and tossed things there
i'll be tossing my cookies with nary a care
cause they'll just incorporate that stuff
with all their junk, which isn't enough...

they'll never be done with this holiday job
flimming and flamming and stuff in a blob
alas, i won't always be bereft
from now on, i'm looking left!

Morning right back at ya LadyT! My weekend was non eventful. I did not move my office (big surprise! - I've only been saying that for a few months now, LOL) But I did enjoy watching good movies on TV: Joe Black, The Color Purple

Good Morning! It's a great day. Cold but great. I've been singing all morning, fa la la. Nothing will dampen my spirits today, I promised myself. We got about 10 inches of snow this weekend. That was less than they predicted, but enough for me. It was actually very beautiful, the kind that sticks to the trees. It looked like a winter wonderland at my house. I'm just grateful I don't live in Boston, they got 3 feet!
