Take Me Back

[JodieO]

So I had an interesting weekend. I went to a family graduation for my side of the family that I haven't seen in over a year. They are sooooo white trash. I shared a bit on twitter so I wont double post. But a couple highlights: 1) My 60 year old aunt had on ripped shorts and no underwear. I saw everything. EVERYTHING. 2) My grandmother had 2 cocktails and was OUT. She looked dead but my uncle made her toast the graduate anyway and there were a lot of "weekend at Bernies" whispers going on.

Yesterday, Mr. KK and I had his -1st Father's Day which involved buying me clothes with elastic in them and cooking me dinner while I took a nap. Yeeeeaaaah.


And where the HELL is BB??? These Dior ads should be like a second Birthday to her. Anyone talked to her recently??

She's changed her picture on FB to DioRob, but I haven't heard from her.

I'm sorry to be the hater, but for a moment I mistook your photo of HCave for another guy from the Superman movies...

Do we like kissing Ron pic?

That looks like a way better kiss than anything I've ever seen in any Twilight movie.

Yes we do like like it. And yes it does look way better. Is it getting warm in here?

my 13 yr. old son was being bitchy today at church (b/c he secretly tried to bring his i-pod & we took it away), not smiling at all, ignoring people when they talked to him, etc. so 8 yr. old daughter says "quit acting like Kristen Stewart!"

Mr KK and I watched Warm Bodies yesterday (By Summit) and one of the previews was for BD2 that showed some filming of scenes and Stew talking about Bella. Mr. KK just up and says "Kristen Stewart isn't very smart, is she? She talks like she is isn't very smart." Mr. KK is a hater. I should report him to the HBG.

I love Mr. KK. Tell him his devil horns are in the mail.

THESE photos are more what I had in mind. Beardy Rob doesn't exactly scream fancy.

It looks like someone snapped a photo of him impatiently waiting for his burger at In & Out.

"Come ON... it's been 8 minutes they said it would be ready in 7! And they'd better not forget the pickles this time!"

ok. i shoot litle league sports photos. The order form and my email to parents CLEARLY states that photos need to be turned in and paid for the evening that we shoot the photos.

June 3rd- i take the photos
June 5th- I order the photos (I waited 2 days to see if anyone forgot to order)
June 9th- i deliver the photos to the coach. (excellent turn around time!)
June 12th- the coach says that one of the kids didn't get their order
June 12th- I contact the coach to tell her that I didn't get an order form or payment from the player and to have them contact me to see if it was my oversight or theirs.
June 14th I contact the parent via email (the only contact info i have for them) and ask if they want to order something.
June 16th I place another team's order (I have to order a min amount so i try to combine orders)
June 18th. I get the order from the other team back.
June 18th I get this email from the parent:
"I didn't know we were supposed to turn in the picture order forms. Is it too late to order?"

How would I have ordered their kid's photos? SO I don't have any other teams to place orders for but I need to place their order so that I look like a good person to the coach so I can retain this team for next year. But it will cost me money to do this. Irritated.

This is when I order wierd key chains for Flatmates because I don't want to pay for nothing.

What's it going to be people?

Can you blame him for being irritated? I hate it when when I finally get my burger and then the fries are cold!!!

How vexing! People are so damn dumb sometimes. I might have a thing or two for you if you'd like to combine an order with me!

parents will always take advantage of you, ALWAYS! they are either too rushed around to read directions correctly, if they even knew pictures were that day in the first place or they expect you to accommodate them because they think the world revolves around them. I see it all of the time w/the parents in my kid's extracurricular activities. having to kiss ass is not fun; I'm not very good at it

Ahem. There are no pickles on In n Out burgers. Next time you come to California, I'll take you there so you can verify.

Also? I don't think Mr. KK and I can go to Boston. I'm still going to try to work it in for a shorter amount of time. We're both trying to save up vacation hours and money for The Noisy Sleepless Time. However, my argument of "we'll never get a vacation again that doesn't have to be kid friendly" is, ya know, a good one so fingers crossed!

You mean I have to TELL you that I want something and then PAY for it? God, you're such a greedy skank.


Also this happens to me a lot in a way. I work with mostly contractors that are repeat customers and sometimes they forget their wallet and get mad at me that I wont give them free material. Like it's my fault? Please.

You are always welcome to drop off the little nudger (see what I did there?) here on your way to Boston. I like babies... when they're not mine... and I'm not forced to photograph them for little or no money.

I have never had an in and out burger. so you will have to drop off one of those too.

Hi all!

Wow. Busy weekend was busy. It included a BBQ (and drinking) a birthday party (more drinking) Fathers Day, buying a 5th guitar (bass)for the GG household, full cooked breakfast duties for my BIL who was babysitting, and to top it off Guitarboy did his Duke of Edinburgh trial hiking and camping (jeez his rucksack weighed a tonne.) If he keeps it up it looks like I'll be going to the Palace in a few years! I hope they allow jeans

How is everyone?

What's all this now?

Hee! Over here some children get the chance to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme. There is bronze, silver and gold and they have to do an allocated amount of voluntary work, take up a sport and show improvement over quite a long period of time, take up a skill and show improvement, and go on team building exercises like hiking and camping. They are rigorously assessed and can fail for a number of reasons. To be honest, his weekend was absolutely gruelling, and I'm so proud he came out of it with a smile on his face. Quite a few of the kids looked like they were going to burst into tears after walking for 8 and a half hours with full tent and kit on their backs for a couple of days. My friends daughter passed her Gold and had to help build a school in Malawi, and she climbed Kilimanjaro. Its not for the fainthearted. If you pass, you go to Buckingham Palace to collect your award from the Duke himself and you can take a parent.

oh my gawd! how cool is this??

[lori_seals]

Do we like kissing Ron pic?

yes, we do.

I'm going to say yes, I quite like it!!

Amy -OMG that's annoying!! Perhaps in the future you can state somewhere that orders after XXX date will be subject to a XXXX charge to cover your extra costs? Plus sometimes late fee warnings scare people into action.

Wait.. WHAT? WTF is the point of a cheeseburger with no pickles?! There isn't even some sort of coded super sekrit In & Out pickle adding password??

What if you took a long weekend to come to Boston earlier than you had been originally planning? Like over Labor Day or something?

Babies are such life ruiners...
