about being with those of your tribe. Those that KNOW you. KNEW you WHEN!

spent the evening laughing my makeup off with joe and mandrea and the funny ha ha’s of 796 Entertainment. Tonight was….one of those moments when you KNOW you are watching someone that is on the precipice…about to explode. When we next see this fella…well it will be somewhere other than the Speakeasy.

So… good night of laughing to cap off a night of good. Had dinner with Bonusmom. It was grand. We got caught up and reconnected. We will both be in Arkansas next weekend and are looking forward to it Then went to watch comedy with joe and mandrea. good times.

My boyfriend Michael Phelps won again tonight. THREE. Geeze Louise. that man….woof.

I will leave you tonight with this…if you make your bed with fresh sheets at one a.m….is it still Clean Sheet Monday?????

Thank GOD for the rain. After weeks of 100 plus weather, this is a blessig! Another fat weekend behind me. Urinetown with the redhead on Friday was good. I enjoy spending time with him. I think he likes it too. The musical was good. Not lifechanging but good. Saturday was Mandrea’s birthday celebration. We kicked into extra high gear due to her relationship angst that was ongoing. It’s since cleared up so that’s good I suppose. We tried two new places here in the metro. Good food and drinks in the night. Then I brought us home. Mandrea went made up with her boyfriend and Mgirl went and followed her heart. I was home. With the olympics on the dvr.

Yesterday I slept in, went to a friends house and did a haircut and a perm. Then back home for a bit. Met Mgirl out for a little while to hear about the rest of her weekend. I didn’t feel a bit like drinking so I just drank water much to everyone’s chagrin. Then I bolted. I wanted to watch the olympics and not be there anymore. Got home in time to see the USA team beat the shit out of the French and everyone else in the men’s relay!!! GOLD!! times TWO!!! Michael Phelps is fucking brilliant. nuff said.

I have a few things to get done today and no clear agenda on how they will happen. Going to have an early supper with BonusMom. I haven’t had much factime with her as of late. Miss her. We’re due for catching up. I’m heading to Arkansas next weekend for school hair. Wonderboy starts the FIRST GRADE. oy vey. anyway, it’ll be a quick trip but will be fun.

This week is just working on making commission at work. I think I’m on track for a good one. Crossing fingers.

I have about 4 books to read, two of which I’ve started. This months Vanity Fair. The last four eps of Band of Brothers. More Rob Bell dvd’s to watch. My netflixed dvd’s that I haven’t even touched. and I can’t stop watching the Olympics. I’m a junkie.

I hope your Monday is good. Easy like Sunday morning. The whole week. That’s my wish for you. Huzzuah and Halakaleem! I love George Clooney. But in the spirit of the games, I leave you with this:

The last time we had a day with these numbers…8-8-88 Princess Beatrice was born across the pond. Today…OPENING CEREMONIES!!!!! Good lord but I’m a junkie!

Can I just say, we should have waited to do my hair until today. It was a process. I believe many hands touched it…but it’s different and more “normal” still blonde, softer not quite so IN YOUR FACE!!! There’s a little ashy tint to it, but nothing I can’t live with until we do it again right before new york. Five weeks from tomorrow! Holy Crap!!!

I’m going to see Urinetown tonight with the redhead. I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks now. Gert in boarding her train to see her plus one…a.k.a. her BOYFRIEND for the weekend. My boyfriend Michael Phelps was just on the Today show, sporting some facial hair that quite frankly knocked me off my big green chair. Homina Homina Homina. He’s set to compete for 8 medals.

8-8-08. Supposed to be a big fat lucky day. I raise my cuppa coffee to you that it will be. 8 is the luckiest in Chinese numerology as well. Good fortune to everone today. What are your plans? Do you feel lucky?

Huzzuah and Happy Friday. I love everyone today!

KIZZ!!!!! Alert Alert Alert!!!

Just this minute saw an ad for some new tv on Fox….starring your boyfriend JOSHUA JACKSON!!! Something called Fringe. Go. Google. Set the DVR. Enjoy!!

and JRH, in all fairness some of those could very well have been singularly Kizz’s words on the porch wit list and in lo these last ten years my addled brain has left the building. However, it’s mainly the JJMBL show (jason, john, misti, bitchlynn) because we were the ones living together in that house. Kizz lived next door to us. Ahhhh, Eddy street. I wonder if it’s been condemed yet?

Watched more Band of Brothers last night, and yes I cried. cried. Not as much as I would have if my dad hadn’t been on the couch, but he knows I’m a cry baby so I didn’t have to hide too much. The ep that was centered on the medic. Lord help my broken heart. This is a beautiful piece. I’m slathering to get my hands on the actual book, now. I only have 4 more eps left. I wish we could have watched the entire series together, it was a nice bonding thing. I’m totally in love with Damian Lewis, who I found out is starring in LIFE on NBC. I need to watch the first season and get all caught up in that lanky red luciousness.

Today is Mandrea’s birthday! 26! She’s had a year of tumultuous change as well, but has rebounded and stuck the landing! Good show girlie girl! Here’s to another year of grand adventures!!

Two more days until OPENING CEREMONIES!!! I am such an Olympic junkie. My boyfriend Michael Phelps arrived there this week with about as many paparazzi as the Jole-Pitt family. He’s delicious. I loved him in Greece. I love him now. I always think, after the summer olympics, that I’m going to start swimming…then I do a few laps and think, this freakin sucks I want a cold beer. Alas, the only thing gold hanging in my house is the frame around this picture hanging in my office.

Hey you! Have a great day!!! It’s going to be UNDER 100 degrees here in The Great State. Cold front moving in, we’re busting out the boots and mittens…mid to upper 90’s for the rest of the week!!! Huzzuah, and Halakaleem and Happy Humping Day. I love George, Damian and Michael….

hey. I gotta lotta love!

here it is. In it’s entirety. I’ll try to assign each on with it’s owner, but there are some I can’t remember.

Bed ridden with the piss-offs. (all Clemo. And I still say this phrase on an almost daily basis)

You smell like dirty Hindu. (guessing it was Jason)

This sucks 12 inch dick in the Batcave. (mine circa 1990-1991)

I hate it when other people’s intolerances bring out my own. (mine again.)

Whoever would cross the street to go to that house must have balls as big as Texas (me)
Whoever would cross that street would take awhile, because they have balls as big as Texas. (Clemo or Jason. I’m betting Clemo)

My favorite lesson to tlearn is never learning my lesson. (mine. title of my memoir)

It was a drive by yelling. (?) (think it was when Pat drove by and yelled porch monkeys at us)

Jason gets so righteous when he talks about his gas. (bitchlynn probably)

Big hair…Little Richard. (clemo?)

To those who care, no explaination is necessary, and for those who don’t care, no explaination will suffice. (clemo?)

This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy punched you in the eye. (?)

When I win the lottery, I’m going to buy the team and make them take the gay buccaneer and LIKE IT! (bitchlynn)

Once he gets his penetration, it’s all pump and go from there. (??)

it’s the Bob Saget “take it in the nuts” Hour. (?)

First they call it a gift, then they called it a heat seeking missle, and now they’re calling it a ballot box. What the hell is going on in the world? (familar but no clue)

Lynn: I want to hold that lady down and dye her hair.
Misti: I want to just comb her hair
John: I want to turn her upside down and dip her in a vat of caramel.
Misti: We just want to improve her looks, John. We dont’ want to put her on a stick and sell her at the state fair!

Jason’s review of JOE’S APARTMENT: “I was dumber after watching that movie.”

Yup..yup..baked goods make us horny. (am guessing Clemo)

Did some encyclopedia salesman come by her and give you information?
Welll, he did, but he noticed that we didn’t ahve any carpet so he took the encyclopedias back…(no clue)

All of a sudden, I’m William Wallace. (100% Clemo. And to this day you still are my dear.)

Yeah, like that butch neutrality YOU got. (??)

I thought the Spice Girls were a party favor…(??)

It’s hard to remember that your job is to clear out the swamp when your up to your ass in alligators. (Clemo methinks)

Hey! You’ve got your homicide in my law and order!
Hey! you’ve got your law and order in my homicide! (Kizz and Clemo)

There you have it kids. In its original state. Funny we were, in the days of Eddy Street, smelling the funk that was the sugar beet factory and sitting many hours on the porch!!! Ahhhhhhhh. And to think, we would have never known each other….

worth it all.

Have a great day. Huzzuah for Tuesday and I love Damian Lewis. For real.

(I still love George too.)

Ok. so no porch wit tonight. I have fallen in love. Yes. True love. Real. Love. Lust. Infatuation. I have found him.

watched the first three eps of Band of Brothers tonight. Yes. I realize I am the last one to this party. But Scottyringo loaned me the ENTIRE BOXED SET and then my dad arrived and his eyes went googily and we sat down to watch at around six thirty and lookie here it is almost ten.

and I want this one: Damian Lewis. British. Red. Perfect. Thankyouverymuchandgoodnight.
slurp.

Sooooo…this will really only pertain to Kizz, Dion and Clemo but that’s ok. It’s worth it.

I found our Porch Wit Quote list.

i found it.

I will, when I get a little more time, reprint it here and we can figure out who owns what quote. I can remember mine, for the most part. One or two are fuzzy…I remembered it because Gert said this today in her post:

Zelda you looked amazing! Just amazing in those jeans! When I see you I just feel like I if I could climb inside your heart and stay there for a while it would be the greatest thing on Earth. I couldn’t love you more if they put you on a stick and sold you at the State Fair.

which is just the kindest most beautiful compliment one could be given. Love you Gertie. Shining so bright for the world to see!

The state fair thing….i remember saying that to Clemo. Hopefully I can scratch some more time and get it up here…this one is the last one on the list and my personal fav. It’s owned by Clemo and Kizz.

“you got your Law and Order in my Homicide!”
“you got your Homicide in my Law and Order!”

man. I remember that night in perfect detail.

sigh.

Freakin 107 today folks. possibly more.
