While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

Another day, another marathon of Swamp People.

Plus some HeeHaw.

But that's what happens when you don't visit the farmhouse for two months, your father has shows lined up for you to watch.

And then hits his head and winds up in the emergency room.

Quote of the night:
Mom: "Guess where I am?"
Me: "Where?"
Mom: "The hospital."
Me: "Seriously? I leave for five minutes..."

He needed stitches and apparently the doc started stitching him before the numbing took effect. I asked if he socked him in the face. After all the crap this past year with the white walls and sterylized equipment I would have been tempted to.

But he's always been a great doc to me so...

He's probably used to the after hours calls from us by now. As a kid I went over there multiple nights to get my arm put back into socket. Apparently that happened a lot, it got pulled out or something. Then he taught my brother how to do it. Sounds painful, must have blocked it out. I'm not good with that stuff, makes me cringe.

Anyway, aside from watching Liz kick some major gator butt, I took my car for an oil change at my favorite mechanic's aka the boyfriend's house. He's handy like that. It was highly entertaining.

Mom has invited him for Easter. We'll see if he is brave enough to face the crazy. Church, dinner then a massive egg hunt. I told him there would probably be a lot of card playing after, as has become tradition at family gatherings. Or maybe we'll switch it up for some Apples to Apples but that's highly doubtful.

Will have to teach him how to play, as seems to be the tradition when siblings bring in significant others. It's like a rite of passage or something.

Moving on.

What kind of hats do they wear at the North Pole?

Ice caps.

Or that's what my popsicle stick says.

Popsicle sticks, I hate popsicles sticks.

SuperHumann used to use them in high school when no one would raise their hand. They'd be numbered so whoever got pulled had to answer.

Though I remember it backfired one time during government class. She also used them to assign partners, this time she partnered me with my boyfried of the time. The look on her face was priceless. So we were loud and obnoxious and lived it up. She was not amused.

Pretty sure that came around the same class as:
SH: "What's unique about the word equal."
no one answers...raise hand
Me: "It has a q in it?"
red marker flies passed my head.

We had a lot of fun in that class. Speaking of, Jessica and I used to drive around York when dropping Smo off for PT and we came across Iowa Avenue with lots of hills and a sign that says "Dip". We told SuperHumann about the "dip"s and she replied,
"Well, there's two of them in the car."

Ouch.

So tonight when I drove passed the Iowa Avenue roadsign I had to laugh.

The joys of small town Nebraska and class with SuperHumann.

Alright, I'm out for the night. Class tomorrow means I should get some sleep, that way I can actually understand all the numbers and data entries they'll be explaining tomorrow.

"Whiskey Lullaby" Brad Paisley

well that was depressing.

"She Said Yes" Chad Brock

the boyfriend and i had a debate about the lyrics on this one. he says it "he said why" while i say "he said wow" cause it makes more sense and rhymes better.

thoughts?

What's an enigma?

Almost made it.

Got to the halfway point and it all went south.

Stupid food.

Made me sick.

First actual meal I've eaten in like 3 days. Serves me right, I'm going back to fasting man.

Mom picked me up halfway through the day and took me to the doctor.

He says it's strep.

Fantastic.

But he gave me some good drugs.

Speaking of, I will probably be out soon.

So I better make this quick.

You know when you're sitting in the doctor's office, after the nurse leaves, and you're patiently waiting for the doctor to show up?

And that's when the most random of thoughts or songs or quotes or whatever just hits you?

Is that just me?

Cause it's like that at the dentist too.

That's why I bring my ipod.

To drown out the crazy random.

Yes, the crazy random.

Go with it.

Today, I figured he wouldn't be long since it was really just us in the waiting room, so I left the ipod in my pocket.

I wasn't wrong...I mean, I wasn't right, but I wasn't wrong, but then I had to think of something to think about that wasn't going to make me nauseous. Cause there were pictures of needles and organs gross stuff that made me nauseous.

And that's the common denominator in all of my problems lately. Nausea.

So I'm thinking...hmm...what's a good and awkward song to sing in a doctor's office that you've never been to before?

No, not really.

It actually just came out of nowhere, like most of the songs that get stuck in my head do.

I got hit with this one.

"Glee Club Rehearsal"


We did "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" my junior year of high school. And this scene was probably my favorite of the whole thing. We did pretty well, but one of the nights I totally broke out laughing during this thing live onstage.

I was Peppermint Patty, my boyfriend - at the time - played Linus, haha um my current boyfriend - but was not at that time - played Charlie Brown.

Oh yeah, and then to make things more awkward since you know Patty is supposed to be secretly in love with Chuck and all that, for One Act that same year we did this play called "Candid" in which I was the girlfriend of my current boyfriend, but again at that time I was with...I'm just gonna call him Linus cause that'll make things easier.

The NEXT year, we did "Arsenic and Old Lace" in which I was engaged to Linus, but at that time, I was dating my current boyfriend.

So there was that switch.

But it really made a lot of scenes very awkward, especially those geared toward romance.

Yeah.

There were a lot of those.

Somehow I was typecast as the girlfriend.

Huh.

High school drama, eh.

Anyway, I loved every minute of that. And if I could go back I totally would. We had so much fun, even backstage dancing behind the scenes. I'm pretty sure I told you about the gum story.

We put gum into one of the Valentine's that Charlie Brown opened onstage - we always do a lot of weird stuff like throw in extra stuff on the last night - and he was like, WHAT?!

Awesome.

Yeah, found it, for more pictures and behind-the-scenes stuff go here: My Life in Closed Captions: Christmas time is here, Happiness and cheer

We had too much fun.

Glee Club Rehearsal

i really love everyone's facial expressions in this one just because they all individually make me laugh.

Arsenic and Old Lace

yes a dress - there was actually more than one dress, the other one took 2 people to get me into it - plus silver heels. you should see those things man, they killed me - i had to run across the stage in them without like making loud clacking noises or dragging my feet and sliding all over the place cause we had floor mikes. that was fun. and took coordination. which took time. cause i don't wear heels.

Okay, I'm going to go take some drugs.

That sounds really bad, but the doctor told me to, I swear!

And then I'm gonna konk out.

And wake up tomorrow to do all my homework for this weekend.

I hope you have a good weekend. If you don't hear from me I'm probably sleeping.
