Bootylicious and Some Adventures
Well, I've updated my site somewhat; changed my mood indicator to "bootylicious." I just love what that word brings to my mind. There's nothing like feelin' bootylicious good.
I've included a 100 Things page on my site. It is accessible via the "about" link. I'm also needing to build up my qb quilt and have already submitted trade requests. It's been quite awhile since I've traded patches.
Kim is over this weekend. And, as usual, I'm loving it. We sure have some good laughs together. She was telling stories about the adventures that she and Buv (my brother) had during the summers when they were kids. I was rarely part of these adventures always preferring to staying at home and reading while they were out exploring creeks, skateboarding in the downtown circular parking garage, trying to make money by having cupcake sales and a whole bunch of other adventures too numerous to list here.
Kim had me laughing as she was telling me about the time her, Buv and our good friend Doug took a bus to town then spent all their money on cookies forgetting to save enough for their bus fare back.
"So, what'd you guys do; walk?" I asked her.
"No way," Kim says. "We begged people for money."
I may have been boring as a youngster, but Kim and Buv were squirrely. There are some adventures they had where I am surprised that they didn't get hurt or killed. Then, of course, there were times they pissed me off.
Like for instance, I remember catching them throwing our two dogs off of the roof of our house on to this mobile hammock that Meerie had gotten dad for Father's Day. I was livid. The dogs did not get hurt, but they were terrified.
"I'm telling mom!" I yelled at them from the ground just as they were ready to throw down Koko.
"Ok, ok!" Buv said. "We'll stop."
"I don't care; I'm tellin'!" I said and ran back into the house and called mom at work. Almost immediately Kim and Buv were beside me giving me dirty looks as I told Meerie what they had done. I handed the phone to Kim after Meerie told me to put them on.
I heard them telling her they were sorry, that they wouldn't do it again. They were near tears. I finally heard them hang up and seconds later they were outside in the backyard. A few minutes later, I heard sounds coming from the roof. Curious, I went outside and found Kim dangling from the roof while Buv was watching her.
"What are you doin'?!" I asked.
"We're practicing jumpin' off the roof 'cos mom said that when she gets home, she wants us to jump off the roof so that we can feel what Koko and Loyloy felt like."
Despite the anger that I had felt at them, I felt sorry for them because I knew they were scared. Meerie rarely just talked a good talk - she also walked her talk, so I knew they believed she was going to have them jump off the roof.
"Come on you guys - she ain't gonna make you jump off the roof." I said trying to make them feel better.
"Yes she will so leave us alone - we're practicing!" Buv said to me.
"Yeah Karen!" Kim piped in tearfully.
Of course Meerie never had any intention of making them jump off the roof. Their punishment was the fear they felt in thinking that they were going to have to do it.
