When the Wife's away (a photo post)

0 comments eh? Either there's a lot of White Stripes haters out there or our blog needs a shot in the arm... nothing like a photo post to do that.

The wife's in Vermont teaching hippies how to speak... or actors living in the hippy state how to speak. I'm home with a sore throught and congestion. I was told to do airborne while she was away. Yesterday morning I did airborne powder in water, then last night I did sierra mist and tequilla, today I am doing sierra mist and airborne powder (not a bad mix!) and tonight I might do airborne, sierra mist, and tequilla... maybe not. I'm also snacking on a block of extra sharp cheddar all weekend and last night while I was drinking tequilla, watching an emotional 20/20 about drawfs and giants, and eating cheese, I started thinking about the government cheese my grandparents used to get... tastiest cheese EVER MADE!!! I've heard the same thing from other people that have eaten free government cheese.

So the wife has the camera that we got for christmas with her in VA (is vermont VA? no, that's virginia... VM? VT!!!?) so I dug out the old one. It had pictures from thanksgiving and christmas on it! OBSERVE!


Thanksgiving Day!


Christmas Day!


Pillow Day!

So what's a weekend look like without the wife? Are you sad husband? You're drinking tequilla alone! I'm not sad. I miss the wife, of course. Her presence is better than her absence, but I enjoy time alone occasionally. It means I can eat THIS for breakfast:


And BeBe and I can throw the newspaper anywhere we want after we read it.


And now BeBe is going to learn some new CS3 tricks so she can change that lucky charms box from purple to red (though really, that's not new to CS3):

Aha! You've clicked on the comments to leave a comment (or to peak at others' comments, but since you've made it this far you should really go ahead and comment) so as a treat to you, i'm here to inform you that I have indeed mixed sierra mist, air borne, and tequilla. It's not horrible. I've had worse margarittas.

Lucky Charms and Starbucks for breakfast? Not bad! Next time Katie leaves town, you should come over and join me for a breakfast of Chimay and porterhouse. Bring all the airborne you want. We can have that, too.

So will that be cheese and steak, or beer and steak, or cheese, beer, and steak? CHEESE BEER AND STEAK!!!

You must have been really bored.............
I sure would like to have some of that government cheese. Grilled cheese sandwiches sure sound good. Ok, now the question from the dumb country bumpkin, What is airborne? Maybe I should just look it up and not ask, but what the heck...........

Mama C - Airborne is Tang spiked with vitamin C. New Yorkers drink it as a part of an elaborate good luck charm meant to help avoid catching ebola on the subway.
They also use it's presence in any beverage as a justification (mixer) for drinking tequila, when everyone knows that a sore throat calls for whiskey.

I like that photo of me. It is perhaps the only photo I have ever seen that fully showcases the extent of my outstanding abilities and talents, while not diminishing my equally outstanding good looks.

I also like mini-Dave tucked under my armpit.

He is clearly not happy about this situation.

Is three comments enough?

Did I ever mention that I am starting a metal band soon?

Government cheese rocked! Where do you think it came from? A foreign country? (hehe, seeing how it was supposed to help the farmer & the "less fortunate").

And I knew nothing of your sniffles until I read your card today. Although I did think, "I didn't say anything at all to him last night." So sorry about that!

There was a similar thanksgiving picture but the spoon wasn't actually touching your tongue, so I opted for this one. Yes, you did mention MEATFIST!!! And yes, I'll play the banjo (once i learn it). But I'm also in a 2 person band with the wife... I forget our name and the genre of music we play at the moment though.

What can I do for meatfist? When you grow old I'll polish the dust for you so the dust is shiny.

If you learn how to play banjo I'm kicking you out of the band.
