Wild Ride

There were many gator rides at Blogfest 2013.  

Most were PG rated, fast, bumpy and full of laughs.  

But one... 

one was more R rated with the speed, bumps and laughs of the other rides

 it's just this one in particular was peppered with sailor-speak and badly sung lyrics. 

It looked something like this:

 Just in case you're wondering,

these are the appropriate lyrics:

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

One of Those Days

Today, I'm doing something different. 

I'm pretty sure  there are some who can relate to this in much the same way I do.
And when you encounter someone who is being an A-Hole, instead of listening to what they are saying, imagine that what they are really saying is "I have a furry butt."

I am in no way suggesting the individual shown

Hope you weathered Irene okay and are powered up soon!

The Dream

You may arrive here expecting me to wax poetic about my goals and aspirations.  You'd be disappointed.  Today's blog entry is simply a recounting of an odd dream I recently had starring myself and fellow blogger and friend Chesapeake Bay Woman.  I opted to illustrate the story of my odd dream in a similar fashion as one of my other favorite blogs Hyperbole and a Half.  Let the story begin....

One day, Chesapeake Bay Woman (CBW) and I were hanging out on a floating dock.

(no, I don't know why and I'm not sure how we got on it or what specific body of water we were floating on, but I'm certain it was somewhere in the Deltaville/Mathews area)

We were wearing some of our favorite accessories and holding hands. 

(for those who are unsure, CBW is the blonde in the crab hat)

Suddenly, Danger appeared!

Hundreds of Mean Bloodthirsty Sharks surrounded our floating dock. 

How would we ever make it to shore?!

As we were trying to determine how to escape to safety, several crab pots floated to the surface (yes, I know crab pots don't float but apparently my subconscious doesn't know that). 

The crab pots were full of Mean Angry Crabs trying to pinch us. 

We were worried.

Then we had an idea!

We could leap from crab pot to crab pot and get to the shore.

(please note: we are pointing our index fingers in an "ah-ha" sort of way NOT flipping people off.  On second thought, I guess it depends on who is reading this.)

So we did.

(Does anyone else think CBW's crab hat looks like a helmet here? Does anyone else become overcome by laughter at the thought of a crab hat helmet?)

It was around this time during the night that the Brat Child came into my room and woke me up subsequently ending my dream- before I knew the ending. 

Did we get eaten by the sharks? Did we make it to shore?

I'm saying that we did make it back to shore and drank a lot of wine once we got there.

I wonder what my next odd dream will be about.....

And yes, it's true- Not all my puppies is barkin'
