I know it's been a while since my last post but I'm fresh out of ideas to talk about.
I could tell you about my adventure to some creepy guy's farm to get my raspberry plants where he actually said the words "you just want to pet my goat." Which he didn't mean as a sexual innuendo or a joke at all (he had goats. Really. Goats.) but before I could stop my smartass self, the words "if I had a dollar every time I heard that" came spilling out of my mouth and just hung there in awkward silence.................. he didn't understand my sarcasm and I convince myself that I just gave him an actual invitation to rape and bury me in his garden to be raspberry fertilizer.
Then, after that awkward encounter, I had to step into the entryway of his house where he proceeded to use the bathroom and have to do a DOUBLE flush while I was there. Yep, a double flush.
Or how he kept trying to get me to have a glass of his homemade wine as my polite small talk comes to a screeching halt and we just awkwardly stared at each other until I all but turn and walk out. He proceeds to practically chase me down trying to give me business cards so I can "tell everyone you know about what a great deal the raspberries, strawberries and eggs were!!!"
Or I could tell you about how the actual raspberry plants have about 2 inches of roots when I made Adam build my garden box 30 inches deep.
Or I could tell you about babysitting my niece and nephews and how awesome it was until Adam left the room, I had a sleeping baby in my arms, the remote control for the television was on the floor, as the next tv movie starts and what comes on..... Predator, of course. My 7 year old niece has been doing crafts so I quietly pray Adam returns before anything actually happens in the movie. Then just at the very second of something scary happens she looks up for the first time in like an hour (sorry Annie!!!!!). Luckily when I asked her to bring me the remote she just shrugs and brings me the remote, not commenting or flinching at the fact that she just saw two dead bodies hanging upside down in a jungle.
Otherwise I could tell you about how we finally decided to plan a visit to my in-laws in January and it's been so long since I've booked a plane ticket that I've forgotten how quickly prices can change. So when we find the perfect flight for dirt cheap, I don't buy the tickets for 3 days and when I sit down to buy them, they've gone up $70. A piece.
But really, I've got nothin'

You forgot to mention that the price for the tickets was still a good price...and well worth the extra $$ to have you visit.
Your Dearest M-I-L ;-)
No wonder you looked so guilty! (Just kidding - insert giggle here) ;-)

Is that why she keeps telling when she sees a police car that someone might have gotten their head cut off?!!

I'd like to say I was joking but I'm not. Tonight while we were in town she said as much as a fire engine and cop car came by with lights ans sirens. I told her that someone might be hurt and she goes on to tell me that it "could be someones head got cut off... 'cuz bad people sometimes do that."
I wonder what therapy costs these days?
