Please to be reading the title in a singsong voice ala 'Troy
and Abed in the Morning' from 'Community'.
Since we've been a bit remiss in blogging lately this is
your lucky day! This is SUPERBLOGDOPPLER5000!!! Now with 3-D technology and
smell-o-vision! (Not really, we don't have that kind of money. But you can
pretend.) And now, co-written for extra bloggy goodness...
Lauren:So....to kick off this blog
in the style of a talk show (blessedly without people yelling overtop of each
other, but sadly without hot male guests), I'd like to introduce...meeeeeee!
Nikki:But we can't promise that a
chair won't get thrown, the little people get belligerent sometimes.
Lauren:This is true. We should
probably clarify that the children would be the chair throwers and not us
throwing chairs at children. Dogs maybe. Specifically Miles. The dog with
eleventy hundred lives. And zero brain cells.
Nikki:Oh Miles...
Lauren:In Miles escapades the past
couple of weeks, the score is Gate being left open by the landscapers: 0,
Miles: 1 and Little dog next door: 1 and Miles's nose: 0. So it's a draw.
Nikki:You forgot about 70lbs of
Great Dane mix cowering from a fly in the house. Paint an accurate picture of
the special for our readers, please.
Lauren:Oh, yes!!! Cowering and
quaking in my lap because there's a fly...not even a horsefly or dragonfly...a
regular old housefly!!! Oh look, here's his royal moron-ness now. Miles, how do
you do it? How do you stay in the character of a total buffoon day in and day
out? Do you subscribe to the school of method acting or are you just
particularly suited to the role?
Miles: *chews on something that is
not a dog toy and gets on the bed with no sense of shame.*
Nikki:You have to admit you collect
the crazies. They find you somehow. Also, can I add that HOLY DAMN I put too
much horseradish on my sandwich. Wow! Should have tried that a couple of weeks
ago when I had a sinus infection, maybe it would have helped.
Lauren:Oh, damn! I don't know. I
think the Percocet/Benadryl combo was pretty genius. (*Do not try this at home,
kids.)
Nikki:No no no no! You're thinking
of the two Lime a Rita (not bad, btw) benadryl combo from my allergy attack
last week when I woke up three hours later and didn't know where the children
were. (No worries, Mr. PotRoast was at home and had put them to bed. He rocks.)
Lauren:Duh! Silly me! I do get your
benders confused. (*She really doesn't need a program, promise.) Question: If I
had a salad for lunch, does that mean I can have extra Ginger Lemon Creme
cookies?
Nikki:Answer: DUH! We've been over
this before.
Lauren:Yesssssss! I should be
stitching. AK might show up for a Paris inspection.
Interruption
due to technical copy/paste difficulties (I told you we weren't fancy.) Now,
back to your regularly scheduled blogging.
Lauren: oh
look!
Nikki: Oh
hi!
Lauren:
Dude! Here's why I love Sarah Jessica Parker. She's hosting a fundraiser.
For Obama.
She said, "It should be fabulous." EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Maybe I
should have been more excited about the chance to win dinner with George
Clooney, but I want to hang out with SJP! I didn't mean this for the blog. I
just had to share as it was in my e-mail when I opened it up.
Nikki: I'll probably incur your wrath,
but I've never cared for her.
LOL-too late!!!
:)
Lauren: WHUCK?!
Nikki: She annoys me
Lauren: DUUUUDE! SHUN!
Nikki: Sorry.
Lauren: FINE! When I win I won't take
you.
Nikki: FINE!
Lauren: I will take George Clooney.
Nikki: FINE! See if I care!
Lauren: Now all bets on my Billie
Piper snarkiness are OFF!
Nikki: OH MY DAMNS!!! It's ON like
Donkey Kong!!!
Lauren:
Please to be inserting donkey kong video here...
Lauren: Why does Living Social think I need pole dancing classes? Like
every other week. OR Boudoir photo shoots?
Nikki: Or vajazalling?
Lauren: YES! Let's discuss vajazalling.
Nikki: Although in a way they are all
kind of connected. Google thought I wanted Russian mail order brides once.
Lauren: Well, you do, don't you?
Nikki: I don't know if they have to be
from Russia.
Lauren: True. Back to vajazzling. Is there a way to insert a poll? We
should see if we're the only people who believe paying for Swarovski crystals
to be glued onto one's lady bits is nuts! (Pun totally intended.)
Nikki: *snort- You said 'Insert a poll'
Lauren: LOL! That's what she said!
Nikki: I'm not sure how to do a poll on blogger, but I encourage
everyone to leave their opinions in the comment section and mayhaps we can
revisit this topic at a later date with some quantifiable data to back up our
hypothesis.
Lauren: Yes. That sounds good. So people....vajazalling....thoughts? (Carol's
comments are likely to be epic. Also, her comment is likely to be the only
one.)
Nikki: I disagree. And I double dog dare others to weigh in on this
super important matter. Because I think it's ridonkulous.
Lauren: It IS an important issue. Much along the lines of nuclear
waste and world peace. Also, only losers don't take a double dog dare. Gasp! Maybe we should send Katie
Couric or Oprah an invite to our blog. I feel certain they would want to be in
on this ground breaking discussion.
Nikki: You know it. We are on the front
lines.
Lauren: On to stitching news?
Nikki: sigh-I suppose...Lauren doesn't
want to talk about lady bits any more, I apologize if you're disappointed.
Lauren: LOL! I want you to know I just broke a nail. Blogging is
DANGEROUS.
Nikki: I don't think we have worker's comp.
Lauren: SCHMIDT!
Nikki: So...stitching...I'm done with London THANK GOD! (no offense
to your mom) But that piece deserves every bad thing said about it. It's
gorgeous, don't get me wrong. I love looking at it, but it's a pain.
 |
| 30 Hours. Suck it St. Paul's! |
Lauren: I know. You flicked off St.Paul's
while watching Sherlock. That says it all.
Nikki: I totally DID! Screw you St.
Paul's!
Lauren: But it's gorgeous.
Nikki: I know. But that doesn't take away from it's pain in the
assness.
Lauren: No. No it doesn't. And in sampler news?
Nikki: Oh sampler...you're boring me to tears right now. So sad! I've
only done about two hours on sampler since my last update, I'm just not very
motivated to do anything on her. But I did make sure the second peacock was
finished, that was seriously bugging me.
 |
| Two Peacocks- I feel better |
Lauren: Yes. You and your
symmetry complex. MTM...
Nikki: Yes!! Let's talk MTM since we
FINALLY have all the fibers for it!
Lauren: YES! I picked up the last two
(kind of since apparently we will need 4 cards of the PH01 metallic...DOH!)
fibers from my LNS. It only took the Waterlilies folks a bajillion weeks to
ship one of them. Did my first two over-one butterflies. So pretty! I heart
them. (Except that I have to do them again on the other corner.) And I've been
PH01-ing but still have some more to go. Not much longer until it heads back to
Nikki.
Nikki: and it is prettiness!!!
Lauren: In gay Pear-reeeeeeee....
Nikki: oui oui
Lauren: The over one madness for the
fleur-de-lis roundabout is DOOOOONE!!!!! (Imagine me saying that like Oprah.) I've
done some more filling in of the center. Paris is slow going. The over-one work
took many hours with little to show. Le sigh.
Lauren: Godzilla is awake. Doesn't he know
that I'm blogging and had plans to stitch???
Nikki: Godzilla!!!!! I told you the little
people were going to get belligerent!
OMG...don't know where to start with my comments..............St. Paul's is magnificent!!! The sampler and MTM are also fabulous!!!! But, the creme-de-la-creme is, of course, my gay Paree -- ooh-la-la -- words cannot describe how utterly fabulous Paris looks!!!! Each addition is soooo special...it's hard to believe 2 different people are stitching it -- the work looks so even and lovely...wish I could fondle it!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletexoxoxoxoAK
P.S. Can't resist a double dog dare -- just a small question -- could we get some grey crystals and VJZ the E.T.??? Or is the E.T. too
big...maybe I should think of something not quite so big!!! Are we VJZing with thread or the hot glue gun...either might hurt the bits!!!!!!!
Okay, firstly, I feel pressure to be epic. Thanks a lot. Like I don't already have enough issues to contend with, including the very public record of how you love AK more. I think I'll need to go back into therapy...
ReplyDeleteSecondly, your stitching is lovely. This is, after all, a stitching blog, and thus I feel compelled and obligated to mention the stitching. I have no idea what the heck you're talking about when you start in on the details, but the photos are so very lovely. I'm sure they don't do it justice.
Nikki, how do you stitch AND watch tv? I can't even knit and watch tv. I can knit and listen to tv, limiting me to shows/episodes I have essentially memorized. For the record, that is quite a catalog of viewing options, but still. But how fitting that you worked on London whilst watching Sherlock. Is there a nod somewhere, or is this super-stitching more high-brow? And just to throw in a vampire, since you continue to deny my request, I have several Buffy episodes verbatim. For realsies.
Thirdly, sad to admit, but I had to Google vajazzling because I had no idea what that was. *hangs head in shame* But now that I do know? I can say I'm so grateful you lack the technology to pull off smell-o-vision. Sparkling or not, there are scratch-and-sniffs I don't need to sample, know what I'm sayin'? But wouldn't pole dancing and sparkly bits be mutually exclusive concepts? Occupational hazard? Seems like stuff would catch, or get pulled off. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye...
I frequently get ads showing me hot singles in my area. I've not decided if they know something I don't and are trying to send a message/warning, or if they're just encouraging extramarital affairs. Either way, I've seen the people in this area. Even with the not-single ones thrown in for good measure, there aren't that many hotties. I mean, there are probably like 4, and maybe 3 more just driving through on the way to somewhere else and had car trouble and stopped at the casino. They might not even count.
Well, obviously I am not the only one who replies to your blog today. Nor am I as witty with the bon mots. But suffice it to say that I get excited every time I see the erection (did I just say that?) of the city of London! Excellent work, girls! I hope that you will enjoy the display when I hang it up in the entry hall (or in the living room, if you get your way, Lauren). Miles, you are an idiot.
