Dear Roseanne Roseannadanna

Highlights of today:

-Slept 'til noon. I know! I was shocked! That never happens here. Dad thinks 8AM is sleeping in.

-12-5 was putting up corn - Increments of every 10 bags of corn required a Woohoo! That's how we kept track.
It was Mom, Dad, me, Brother and Sister-In-Law and their kids plus Sister-in-law's mom so it didn't take too long. The kiddos were pretty helpful as well, shucking corn - well, the oldest one helped, the boy played angry birds on my ipod and the youngest refused to stay in the shop - which is where we did all the cleaning and stuff now that it has air conditioning - so I was chasing after her while trying to keep her away from the hot water.

Me: "What's on your shirt?"
Abbers: "A Donut!"
it was a monkey.

Mom: "Did you do that to my phone? It's like that card. You could reprogram my phone to Spanish and I wouldn't know how to change it back."
i put a picture of a knocked over pivot as her background.


-Dropped off lyrics and corn at my mentor's bank for her to look over. She's the one who writes the songs every year but this year she left it up to us. She gave us the thumbs up.

-Finally sat down and turned on last week's episode of The Closer cause the new one was on next and I was like, "Should we watch last week's?" and Mom was like "Sure, I watched it already." The thing starts and literally 30 seconds later she bombards me with questions about what's happening in the episode.
"I thought you said you saw this one."
"I forgot it already."

-And Dad of course, after I had watched all of Swamp People, forced me to watch Hee Haw. And the only thing that ever makes that bearable is when one of these pops up.

Where O Where

the refrain is always the same but the verses vary. love it.


Song of the day:
Cool Rider - Grease 2 Soundtrack

Sketch dared me to walk/dance like that past the cafeteria. Fortunately it was during winter time so it was too dangerous for me to agree.

Clip of the day:
Roseanne Roseannadanna

My hero. Final clip of her doing this ever. Sad day.
I love Gilda Radner, Roseanne Roseannadanna is my favorite, along with Emily Litella, but you should check out her Best Of SNL DVD. It's fantastic.

Tomorrow's gonna be super long even though it doesn't start until noon.
Food Drive central. Pick up all the barrels and drop them off at the two libraries plus go to bank to count change and switch out with bills plus figure out the winner to the branch competition and a prize for that winner. And I suck at all things baking so I think I might leave that one for Fearless Leader when she gets back. Dunno if I can do all that plus camp at this time. But I'll figure it out.

Keep you posted. Out!

good times never seemed so good

The time has come. Swamp People is officially over for the season. Sad day. But they tagged out so it's okay.
I love Troy and Elizabeth. Plus Jacob. They're my favorite team. Troy's the comic relief while Liz and Jacob are more sane.

"Lochness must have had a twin brother. Cause we just caught him." Good god, their boat is gonna sink. Tons of pounds of gator filling a boat in a storm. There's like 4 inches of boat over the water. Stupid.

"It's the only bad habit I got and I'm going with it." Junior's wife about smoking. Someone on the boat is always smoking. Doesn't matter which boat.

Today was a full day and actually pretty busy. Plus media central now that Amy Winehouse died. Total sad day that she joins the Forever 27 Club. True thing too. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, all died at 27. So apparently there's some sort of club. I don't know. Google it. Sounds like a curse to me.

Also, Lady Gaga shot a music video in a bean field here in the awesomeness that is Nebraska. We're assuming it's for her new song written about her Nebraska-born boyfriend.

So I was all excited because I get tomorrow off and I could do camp stuff. But my partner in crime is gone, and Nic is gone so it's just gonna be me. And I was like yay! I get to sleep in! I can stay around the house and work at my own pace, I'll get stuff done...but I walk in the door and Mom's like "we're doing corn tomorrow."
Crap.
The phrase "doing corn" means picking 80 million ears of corn, shucking them all, cleaning them all, then cutting them up and putting the pieces of corn in ziplock bags that are measured out. The process sucks. And it's disgusting cause you get all wet and sticky.
Man.
They better let me sleep in. I moved out for a reason.
Should'a stayed at my apartment.
Man.


Okay, why would someone who was put in a hospital because of a snakebite, be out during a full moon voluntarily catching snakes with his barehands for extra cash? Seriously?
With a long sleeve shirt and some gloves. Crazy.
But I like Willie. He's the one with one of his front teeth missing. Not the most school-smart hunter, but he's got some strength and swamp-smarts. yeah, swamp-smarts. I'm going with it. He usually hunts gators with his Dad.
