And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Yeah about that.
You will. Sorry peaches, but you can't deny your father or your name. I have tried. Does not quite work that way.

Point 1- My Name. Rather my maiden name is not all that common. It also happens to be the name of a liberal arts schools that was once an all girls school. Sorry, OUR Vassar Girls are more elite than the schools.

Point 2- My Father. He is quite the enigma. He is worth 30 blog posts. Let me just say this about my parentage. I can set an appropriate table, wear Nana's Pearls while I run cat 5 and phone line AND navigate your sorry ass out of the swamp. There will be a gourmet dinner at camp. We may shop later.Wear appropriate shoes.

The thing is when I was younger I wanted to get as far away from these two as I could. I ran screaming. I screamed so loud and long they told the MR NOT to Marry Me. Dumbass did not listen.

Funny thing is, poor Jules, had she just married the sot, and weathered the storm, her parents would have come around ( HEY THIS IS MY STORY)and there would have been no poisoned drama at the ol crypt. She could have thrown back some vino at Christmas Eve with her mom and compared notes on grandkids.

Our parents are who we are . Who we will becomwe. I look forward to the day that I am my paarents and my inlaws age. They are not slowing down. We keep them young. And we treasure who they are, who they were, who they taught us to be, and who we will become because of them. They color everything about us. We want to be the grandparents they are.

When I was growing up, I had a very immediate family. My Nana lived with us. I had no other really close family. I now have a large extended family. Partly because my hubs has such a large family, partly because THIS IS THE MOST FERTILE FAMILY beyond the Duggars. I kid you not.


I need to close and welcome Mia Gabrielle Meyers. Born Jan 4th. I hear she looks like a Monchichi.

HOT DONUTS and bad service.

I see that I have not posted since New Years Eve. No , I am NOT still hungover, just major busy and that does not look like it will change. However, I managed to sneak in a weekend away AND a day trip.
I'll blog about the weekend later. It was windy and cold but I SCORED at the Liz outlet.

Anyhoo, today was FREE FEE day at some of our National Parks. They do this from time to time and will be doing so again later in the year. It was actually a 3 day thing. From Saturday to Monday but I do have a JOB so we went today.

Now any of you that know any of my family knows that even a trip to Wal-Mart can be migraine inducing and have mommy screaming for the GOOD Vodka. Today was no exception. We had to take a long circuitous route to son # 2's house to get son # 1. Because son #1 has a truck that gets 2 miles to the gallon. Well and it currently has no brakes. Minor details.

Now Mr Red has no sense of direction at all. Which is ok , because my nickname is Magellan. ( look him up, I'll wait.) Sometimes though when you have young adult males giving you directions ,all is not as it seems. Or as they describe it. At least the white church was still there. After obtaining aforementioned son and getting back to civilization we headed for eats. Now I thought since today was all ready not going so well, let's go somewhere we know. Since we were in downtown Charleston, I figured "Tiny Condom's" was a good bet. Please note: that is not the actual name of the pub but since this goes from ok to bad to gross, I will not outright name them.

We park, we get seated, we order. We get our appetizers.

IRISH NACHOS

SHE CRAB DIP.


Then our server just vanished. POOF. Like he never even existed. After getting another nice server ( WOO HOO GARRET!) to bring our food and refill our drinks , I decided to go potty.
Now folks, this is not some dive. This is a really nice pub in the historic district that is not cheap.. I was not expecting the foul level of Dante's Hell that I encountered upon entering the loo. I usually do not complain , but I did find a manager on that one. We won't be back. EVAH.


We did manage to catch the Hot Donut Sign on at Krispy Kreme on the way home though. If you have not ever had a KK right the eff off the conveyor belt and experienced that particular foodgasm, I am so sorry that you lead such a meaningless and pitiful existence. Truly. I was trying to pay my son $100 to ask them if I could bathe in the glaze waterfall. Really, I did. Maybe there is a reason my kids are so odd....
I took pichurs for ya though...

I am ninja double guest posting.

Just hush and read it . You will figure it out. The froglicker is my buddette at glitterfrog.

HOWDEEEEEEEE from the swamp!

Seriously. I live a block from “The Great Swamp”.

I don’t know bout ya’ll but I am glad the holidays are OVAH.

They were a LOT better than I thought they would be. I guess it was because I focused on

Family. I declared this the “Craftinest ,Cookinest, Merry Makinest” Season EVAH.

And it was. I really enjoyed focusing on the kids and grands. Maddie and I made some awesome gifts for the Great Grandparents. YES my parents are THAT old. Snork.

(HUSH LYNN)

I was sitting here getting snuckered on red wine and wings. And the FINAL SEASON OF TUDORS. I’d explain but it is over your heads. (psstt it’s Historical Soft Porn)

And posting on FB when Froglicker posted. So we had this convo:

· ME- You need to stop fartin around with that frog and go approve my comments. hooker.

BWAAAAAAHAAAAAAAa.
Made you look.

I am INTERNATIONALLY Awesome. And have an odd collection...

So my buddette Vicki, who licks frogs over at http://glitterfrog.blogspot.com/
posted this thing about some of her stats. So yeah... being who I am, I had to look at mine.
Talk about a WTF moment. I still don't get it.



And then...yes there is more. I looked at my countries. I wanna give a shout out to Guadeloupe! Just cuz I like to say it over and over til I giggle. I guess the Russian are looking for Reds. Dunno.

A note about some people.

My internet buddies. I have met all kinds of people online. All kinds.
But I have been blessed with most of them

I do not have a lot of friends in the real world. Well, besides the 8 or 9 people that live in my head. I don't know why...I am soooooooooooo easygoing. And quiet. Maybe I am too quiet.

Most of the women that I have known in my life have been two faced lying whores.


But I have been so blessed with the women that I have in my life now. Aside from my daughters who rock. And Maddie who is ALL.KINDS.OF.AWESOME. Just ask her.

And of course my mom is the second bitchinest red head I have ever met. ( I am the first GAH)
And my mom in law is the best I could have ever ordered.
Even my sister in laws are truly neat people.
My BFFFFFFFF since second grade is related to me now, so she is STUCK. I don't think she minds, she never left me, even when I pushed her away . And down.
My baby sister is a 20-something version of me, so duh.
But some of the wimmins in my on line world are the awesomest.
Which is why my first Holiday Hundred goes to Vicki who kisses frogs n shit.

Well that is what I heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaard. ( Well I heard it after I started the rumor)
I don't even member how I met her. I just know we clicked. And she has a twisted a sense of humor as I do. I feel like I could call her up, pour out any sob story and she would kick my ass back in the right direction. That and she is kinda cute.
So for my first Holiday Attention Whore Graphic.
I raise my glass to Vicki. Who put that background on her blog just to make me double check the wine bottle.

I am so cheezy.

Not only did I steal the idea , I stole the clip art.
Yep. Between now and Christmas I want a hundred followers. I will also award this lovely pichur to my fave blogs.

Why should I get hundred followers? Frankly, I think we are ALL shocked beyond belief that I do not have them. I am merely trying to correct an imbalance in the Universe. I do what I can.
So, steal my graphic. Give it to yer friends.
For every new follower I will put a can of food in the RedKat Holiday Hundred Food Box.
I will verify this by pictures and a signed note from my mom. And the Lady at the food bank.

Because there will be Toys For Tots, but old Alcoholic Homeless Rufus at the bus depot needs his Cranberry Sauce too.
So. Steal to Give. Neat huh?
