Brush With Fame

Oh my!

Corki the goat is featured on Nannygoatsinpanties today.

He really is a fine goat, but who knew he'd make it so far so fast.

I hope Norm doesn't get wind of this and feel like an amateur.

Maybe lightning will strike twice in the barnyard and he can get his taste of fame too.

Ok, here's the deal.

I got the news yesterday that I need to have surgery on my shoulder.

The full on slice it open pull and tug it tight procedure.

On the 11th of THIS month.

After I say that out loud I kind of get depressed and don't want to do it and just want stay home and eat Mallomars instead.

Whatever.

I'm going.

On the 11th.

Of this month.

I'll have someone feed me Mallomars when I get home.

The doctor says six weeks in a sling that somehow goes around my waist as well as over my shoulder to keep my arm still.

I hope the tie around my waist is elastic, because after six weeks in the chair in the house there will be a lot more to tie around.

Ok, I don't want to talk about this anymore...

~~~~~~~~~~~BREAKING NEWS~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wendy is breaking up with the Plumber tonight.

She says he doesn't make her laugh.

Listen, I have been married six times and the only time I have ever laughed in a relationship is when I am talking about them, not to them.

She's young, I guess she'll learn for herself.

Today is Wyatt's first day of school!

He is in the same class as Shannon (thank the good Lord for that) and they have a new teacher this year whom I believe is young enough to be a child from my own loins.

That's ok I guess, I'll have more pull at conference time by giving her the "look".

Miss Herr: (That's "her" real name) "Well you see Mrs. Parks, Wyatt seems to be having some difficulty with his times tables and I was just thinking....."

Me: "Yes Miss Herr (looking down my nose over my glasses with short tone) you were thinking maybe you need to spend a little more time educating the child instead of diddle-daddling so much"?

Then I could always throw in a "in my day...."

I can't believe I'm even old enough to use the "in my day..."

My Dad used to tell me how in "his day" he had to walk to school, up-hill, both ways, in the snow with a pig on his back.

I don't know what the pig was for, maybe for lunch.

I have to get back to my cleaning now.
