Surprise!!!

Ok so a couple of weeks ago Laurie calls me over at the post office and whispers "Are you doing anything on the 22nd?" I say "No why?" "We'll talk later" "ok" says I and off I go.

I get into the car with Brian and I ask him so what's up with Laurie and what's up on the 22nd? He says ""I dunno why? altho it is my birthday. Why is Laurie doing something?"

Oh man! I wrecked the surprise! I felt terrible! Well after many minutes of making me feel awful Brian laughs and says "Naw we just wanted to have you and the Pattersons, and the Beadman's over for a few drinks. hahahahahahaha"

He really had me going. Jerky McJerkerson! We Laurie felt kinda bad for me and decided it would serve him right if we surprised him. So she gave Kathleen, Holly and I instructions and we showed up at their place and decorated and I had made a banner, but half way thru the week Kathleen thought well you know Laurie's birthday is next week, we should just have a double surprise party! Brilliant!!! So that's what we did. We called all of the people back and told them it was a double surprise. It was too funny!

I found out last night, however, that most people seemed worried about me spoiling the surprise cause I ride with Brian every day and apparently when it comes to such things I'm the weakest link" ppfffttt!

But all this was just the intro for what i wanted to say. We played the best game of eat poop you cat last night ever!!!!! At some point the phrase "We're not out of the woods yet" turned into "heavenly tits" to which someone drew the nicest pair of tits floating in the sky you ever saw. And then someone decided that it must be "Lucy in the sky with diamonds"

Someone else, inspired by a story about Bob writing a paragraph that went something like...."the year was 1883 when suddenly...." Wrote a lovely piece about Pete Rose and his subsequent fall from fame. To which someone else drew an excellent picture of a base ball player behind bars surrounded by money, and so "to be or not to be" ended up being "Pete Rose"

And "humpty dumpty sat on a wall", after someone drawing a picture of a cracked egg and some sort of tube became "crack pipe" Hahahahahaha

Brilliant!

20 questions

So doing the mail is really boring. Brian and I talk about how our families are doing and what happened over the weekend, but after a while we run out of things to talk about. When you see someone everyday it's easy to get caught up really fast, so when we get bored we play car games. Yesterday we played 20 questions. It's actually really fun and the time passes very quickly. It messes up our concentration and we spend lots of time backing up to look into boxes to see if we put the right mail into the right box, but still the time goes by so much faster.

Ok so here was the start of one of our games....

Brian: Is it alive?
Me: No.
Brian: Is it dead?
Me No:
Brian: Is it a bird?
Me: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

P.S.

oh by the way....While we were camping we saw a sign put on the road by a bunch of yuppie parents. It said "Slow kids playing". This drove us nuts. Why do people do these dumb things like their kids are the most important in the world. It drove us nuts! We wanted to say a few things to them like.....

Teach your kids to look both ways before they cross the street and you wouldn't need a stupid sign!

And it they are too dumb to understand this concept better they get run over now before you get too attached to them!

Charles stated very loudly when we passed by "Oh look honey they have slow children there. No wonder they want people to drive slowly"

So when we were leaving, we drove by there so Charles could drive over the sign, but they had moved the sign. Oh well I guess they didn't like his slow children remark. hahahaha

Best camping ever!!!

OK OK OK so this weekend we went camping at Mew Lake Campground. Last time we went here I asked Charles what was the name of the lake at Mew Lake Camp ground. He laughed till he peed. Men!

This is the first time we've ever been here when it wasn't covered in snow as this is our winter camping place. The temp, was around 1, and raining off and on. We managed to get in a bunch of walks and fires and were camped next to the lake. It was lovely. But I think I might have a bit of a problem..... as I sat next to the fire and beside the lovely lake, eating my Dixie Lee chicken, thinking if only I had some kind of hand held device to play super mario galaxy this day would be perfect!!!!! Hhmmmm If only someone would invent a camping wii game I would never have to go outside!!!!

There was tons of wild life too. We saw eleven ruffed grouse, a whiskey jack, red breasted nut hatches, chick a dees, otters, ducks.... it was so nice. Also this place has the best showers ever! The floors are heated, so no matter how cold you get you can get warmed up and oh so toasty in no time.

We also went to a bunch of museums on our way out. There are great displays of animals, stuffed and in natural poses. That always cracks me up cause it is really beautiful and well done, but I bet it's not allowed any more. Still you could see them in their natural habitat and they hide critters all over. It was kinda fun.

I'll add pictures after when I down load them.....
