The Return of the Pink Ranter

[JTB11 1,079]

Your eyes are bigger than your belly.....

that is exactly why one needs to eat constantly for 3 days before christmas to stretch the belly....

That is nice of your in laws and not so nice of hubby. My ex husband never bought me holiday gifts either.

Well, I got no hippopotamus for Christmas, no man, despite the reality that only a hippopotamus would have done, si man.

However, there are almost 4 hours left, and the hippopotamus could have been hung up in the UPS delivery snafus, hope man...

Well part 9, you know that was gonna happen. Your hubs is the "have" now......

Remember my SIL? Having a house as a wedding gift and wanting Tiff to pay for renovation?

I knowww, but it's still royally obnoxious. Can she not just be proud and happy for her son? He moved to a completely different country, works full time, is going to college, and learning a new language. She said not one kind word to him, but instead demanded electronics and designer sunglasses. Agh! Infuriating and sad.

Came in to the office this morning and found a bunch of candies and chocolate on my desk. Woo!

Did we chiefly eat or did we chiefly work, huh man?

Your eyes are bigger than your belly.....

Eyes the size of a Third Trimester, huh man?! Them there eyes is BIG, see see see see man.

1. Kit, welcome to our group of Marklars

2. Watch out for that Tbone, he's a lunchroom monitor......

1. Whee, man!

2. Company man and Official Laundress of the Thread, see man. Still owed many paychecks of a hunnerd fiddy, grrr man.

[TBoneTX 45,841]

1. I cleaned the #######, not publishing a pic of it.

2. I know you! You're trying to bait me into posting it, so you can TOS me!

3/Many. Gotta get up earlier to fool me sucker

4/Many. And I dunno what happened to that towel since we came back from the Asia trip.....

1. Wimp, man.

2. [angelic deportment] Who, me, man?

3/Many. No one gets up earlier than the parent of a 2-year-old, no and zzz man.

4/Many. Does Tiff know about your rendezvous with Asia, huh man? Asia -- spill the beans, oj tak.

1. Hubby got drunk on wine

2. I go through random bouts of business on occasion, but will ultimately end up back here every time.

1. Mrs. T-B. spent large parts of the day spending long-distance funds, $igh man, and after one such call came to snuggle with me and drippily say, "I love you, Cariño." Knowing what had happened,* I asked, "Amiga or relative, Cariño?" "Amiga in Ecuador, Cariño," she said. "I knew it," I said.

*For the unwashed: Mrs. T-B. acts this way whenever she hears about the regular treatment of her girlfriends or female relatives by their men in Ecu, who tend to drink constantly and be abusive.

2. We put out an AIVB (All-IV-Bulletin) for you, si man. Santa failed to cram my hippopotamus down the chimney but he returned you to us, whee man.

that is exactly why one needs to eat constantly for 3 days before christmas to stretch the belly....

This sentence would be even more meaningful if it ended after "days," burp man. Or, better, after "constantly."

Am being paged by Mini-B. to play blocks (building towers from wooden blocks so trains can be crashed into them). All boy, si man.

1. I was very careful to pick a rare exception to the Ecu rule. The fact that he was tipsy after two small glasses should attest to how infrequently he drinks. I actually quite enjoy when he gets a little drunk, because he gets goofy and funny and has a good time as opposed to being self conscious about his English or other nonsense. It's good to loosen up every once in a while.

2. Happy to be back.

Oh where are my manners.....

Kit, welcome to our group of Marklars

Watch out for that Tbone, he's a lunchroom monitor......

I'll be on my best marklars - he won't have a marklar to worry about.

Ooh parting - Glad everything is going well! Ooh parting is your new ipad autocorrect name.

Jtb11 - I'm sorry about your Christmas not being cheery.

Tone - Little man sounds cute! My daughter would cry and cry if blocks got knocked over, she's very sensitive. Tone is your autocorrect name.

I don't think I would want to live in Ecuador.

Autocorrect will be the tip of the iceberg insofar as my sanity is concerned. It seriously agitates me how often I have to go back and refix the "correction".

It's definitely a love or hate kind of place. I loved it until we moved in with hubby's family. Smaller town, less access to household necessities, less privacy, etc. Big cities will be our place of choice when we move back.

1. It was very funny -- Mama-Mrs.-T-B. met us in Cuenca (for the unwashed, Ecu's third-largest city) on one of our visits. We were hungry, so we went into what turned out to be a fine restaurant. The waiter served us finger-glasses of schnapps or some pungent liquor. Mama-Mrs.-T-B. knows that I don't drink. I downed the booze in one gulp, pretended to reel drunkenly, exclaimed "Soy un macho!" ["I am a typical Ecuatoriano who drinks and beats his woman"], and pretended to punch her in the face. She cracked up.

2. And you better STAY back, too, si ma'am.

I hate the way they package toys with a passion!

It takes like 3 (Czech numerals) tools..... dykes, razor knife, needle nose pliers, and heavy duty scissors to extract 2 dolls and a couple of dresses out of a box.....
