Little Old Lady Whooo

Oy. This is a bit like finishing a hike for me. Someones going to have to push me the rest of the way.
ALrighty.
On the way to their parents house, we stopped by Carronins home. Her son had been in a bike accident, and boy did he look beat up. :( Poor guy. We met Carronins husband, El Jefe, her two sons, and her daughter. Actually, we met her daughter the first day because she stayed with us at the hotel. Carronin kept wanting to go home and clean her house before we came over, because it was "dirty". Yeah, right. Not dirty. WhatEVER Carronin. We went downstairs to see her cool murphy bed, and sit on her nice couch, and talk for a bit. While we were talking, I spied Annie, out of the corner of my eye, sweetly hugging her nephew (the injured one) stroking his head and talking to him. I thought about how lucky he was not only to have a mom like Carronin, but to have an Aunt like Annie. It was a sweet moment.
We all got in the cars, and headed to Annies. When we arrived, Rug's Bug (Annie's sil) rolled out the red carpet for me*.
I saw her and said, "Rug's Bug! Don't you want to hug me?" and she was all like, "No, not really. You're rather strange."** We took a photo, then followed our nose into the kichen. Rug's had been making onion rings, and french fries in her frydaddy. Oooh girrrl, can she make some good fried food! Her husband, and Annies husband manned the grill, and barbequed hot dogs and cheesburgers. We all took turns sitting on Annies computer chair, and typing on her keyboard.
Annie and Carronin's parents came by, and Elastic said to me, "Okay, on the count of three, we're going to say "BIG DADDY!" to her dad, and give him a hug."
Uh....
"Elastic, he doesn't read my blog. He doesn't know who I am."
We hugged him anyway. We hug their mom too. Not that it's any of your business what we did.
After lunch, we played a rousing game of "Apples to Apples". Why they call it that, I'll never know, but it was fun. I was the first one to get four cards, but they decided to play until someone got six. (four is in the rules, but whateverrr. No hard feelings*) and NCS ended up winning. *sigh*
During the game, I was watching Rug's Bug. She talks very quietly, but I could tell she was being funny because of her facial expressions. I said, "She's being funny, and I can't hear her!"
Did I say that out loud?
I can't remember.



*No, not really. Although, I'm sure she would have, had she not been frying stuff.
**No, that's not true either.
***Yeah, right.

Rug's Bug said...

Hee hee hee...

I think it was the big "Avoid Me" sign we drew on your forehead with a Sharpie the night before. Rug's Bug was just following instructions. She's good that way.

Those were darn fine onion rings and fries. Why does everything taste better fried???

Tori :) said...

Millie- Don't forget the hairy mole we drew also!

And the wonderful fry sauce was divine also.

Your recap rocks.

My four year old just came running in here saying, "Hey!!! That's King Louie from Jungle Book!--she ran over to the movie shelf and showed me who she was talking about.

apples to apples was the best....even if carrot lost...NCS won! I lost the very best I think...so there! (thanks for my mail surprise! You are super)

wynne said...

Let me give you one huge shove to keep you going...I'm so enjoying reading this (especially in reverse since I started with this post and went backward). It almost makes me want to meet my online friends, too. Almost. I'm still pretty sure they'd reject me because my breath smells like 100 feral cats rolling in dead stuff and my glass eye frightens people more than it impresses them...

*sigh* It's so like reading about the COOL people in high school or something, and I'm hanging out in the band room closet with my braces and acne.

Will you be my friend someday?

Carrot my house was dirty. El Jefe spent all morning cleaning it because sometimes he's really sweet like that. Your recap is awesome you have a nack for remembering details. The best part is still to come.

Amanda said...

I'm pushing too! Keep 'em coming!

Hey, someday I have got to meet Carronin's little girl (well Carronin and her whole family too). I hear she has a real sweet daughter just like me (I have 3 real sweet daughters, but I'm talking about me being sweet, not them)! Must have something to do with her, well something we have in common and how you couldn't help but be reminded of me!

Klin said...

I'm pushing. Especially if the best part is coming. I am okay being strung out like this as long as there is a finish that wraps it all up.;)

Sketchy said...

I think its called Apples to Apples because Monopoly was taken.

PS: I read 3 post at one sitting, and lol "If you can't pass gas in front of Elastic..." I think that makes complete sense.

Suzanne said...

"Creamed corn is idiotic!" :D

It was so fun going to Annie's house! Carrot, I think you have the most thorough recap of anyone and I'm loving every post! :D

aubrey said...

Melissa said...

So close... must make it too the top... then, if you want, we'll put you in a barrel and roll you back down the hill. :D
