"She Said, Ooh, La, La, I'm Going to Cut Loose!!"

I think I've shown this piece recently, but it seems to fit just about right at this time of year. People are starting to get stressed out over the Holidays - Family members are showing up at homes, where they haven't shown up for, le's see - a Year? -- And then there are also those children who will be tagging along with some family members - never seeming to fit the description that their parents write about during the rest of the year - "So well behaved! - All his teachers just rave about his wonderful behavior!!"

And this goes thru ones mind when they just happen to glance over, and notice Little Joey, grabbing those nice, expensive, Bought-On-A-Splurge tassles on the front-room curtains, $25.00 each, and Sweet-Adorable-Little-Joey is wonderfully pulling said tassles to absolute SMITHEREENS...

Ahhh, yes, the Holidays.

FORTUNATELY - those days haven't hit this household yet..we only have the son from up in the City coming down for the Turkey Day Festivities - And he'll be bringing nothing that would match some horrid little child/relative...he'll be bringing the Turkey (!!!) and will undoubtedly have some new CD's to sample for us - Mostly some very Up-Tempo Bluegrass that makes ya want to dance yer toes off. And that's just fine with me! - The more Cheerfull-ness, the better!! And along with all the goodies, we'll be having fresh pumpkin - pumpkin pie - Yay! - Noah did a Good Thing, and froze up all the pumpkin he cleaned up and pre-steamed for us. Again, Yay!! Now All I gotta do, is mix it with the wonderful Pumpkin Pie Spice, throw in the mild and eggs...YUM!!

So, that's what's gonna be happening in a couple days.

But, I'm sure there are some of you, who, like the mermaid at the top of the page, who would GIVE YOUR EYE TEETH to be cuttin' loose, grabbin' a good Tropical Drink, and goin' off ANYWHERE ELSE but where you are, stuck with the In-Laws, plus, the Rotten Other Relatives Children...

Ok, You have my permission to just haul off, and go ahead, and BOOK THAT FLIGHT TO FLORIDA --

There...

And, don' forget to pack the Suntan Lotion.

I mean, after all, if your gonna hit the beaches, you BETTER take some lotion, so you come back to the Rest of The World, glowing with a Great Tan, and rub it in the In-Laws Face.

Works for Me....

I'm gone...
