They’re Coming to Take Me Away…OR Desperately Seeking Bartender/Babysitter with Large Luxury Vehicle

Dad... She's doing it again!
You see this look?

This kind of panicked deer in the headlights, make no sudden movements, look?

We call that the “Oh my Goober, my mom has been stuck in this house for two solid weeks with us with no relief and has started wearing panties on her head and holding conversations with her coffee pot again” look around these here parts.

And it’s a look that we’ve been seeing a lot recently.

Probably because I’m getting the the point of being insane enough to start wearing panties on my head and holding conversations with my coffee pot… again.

Peter has been working late what seems like every night.
The Cynical Sister done lost her marbles and moved to Alabama.
The air conditioner in my car isn’t working because it’s 90 degrees outside- and that’s my luck.
I have friends all over the world- just none here in Hillbilly Hell.
And for some odd reason, I can’t seem to find ‘Double Bloody Mary’ anywhere on my list of low-calorie drinks.

Sigh.

    It’s quite lovely over here. Nicely done. I saw my name, I’m blissfully happy. :)

    … we had a couple of Razorbacks follow Hubs home this week. I’m thinking I have that same “Oh my Goober” look on my face now.

    I love the new look – FAB-ulous, dah-link!

    The deer-in-the-headlights look is classic! Too bad I’m not even remotely close to your neck of the woods. I love, love, love me some bloody mary’s!

    My nutrition book that my dietitian gave me says 1 alcohol serving is about 100 calories…12fl oz of beer (regular 4.9%) is 1 alcohol serving plus 1 carb serving…if it is light beer it is 1/2 a carb: distilled spirits like vodka, rum, gin, and whiskey (80 or 86 pf) at 1.5 oz is one alcohol serving (with no carbs!): 1oz of Sake is .5 a serving: 3/5 oz of Sherry is 1 serving of alcohol and one carb, but 5oz of dry red or white wine is just one serving (no carbs).

    Hope that helps.

    :-P

    I love the new look! Complete with shoes even.

    I am sorry you are feeling a little stir crazy. Double bloody Mary may not be low calorie, but Guiness is. Yup, only 125 calories for a large frothy glass of sanity.

    Dig the new digs (so to speak) :-) Looks very clean and roomy.
    My kids are getting the same look. So it’s bad to be talking to the coffee pot? Shoot.

    Love the new look, super cool.

    A double bloody mary has tomato juice and we all know that tomato juice is an acidic fat burning substance that neutralizes any and all added calories. And besides, with this flippin’ heat we need a drink!

    LOL NO…the idea is you know what is in every serving size so you can substitute. ;-) You can get rid of something else so you can have a few servings of this or that. ;-D
