Oh my God I am laughing so hard I damn near pissed my pants ... an easy thing to do for a 45 year old!
There must be something about Wisconsin that makes us all giddy and strange! Gosh, I'm from Union Grove and moved to Prescott when I was 10. I moved to NY after college and have been perpetually homesick since. What is it about Wisconsin that calls ya back?
It's sure not the Packers so it must be the cheese!
Actually I miss the Dells. And family. And proper pronunciation.
New Yorkers really overdo the flat "a" sound, if you know what I mean. And I get too many strange looks when I say YUPPER!
hehehe!!! Glad ya liked it Oz!-- this was fun :D....Is that you in the picture?...:D....yeah, Wisconsin breeds some form of weirdness....ah, the likes of Ed Geine, Jefferey Dahmer...:0...and the innocent kinda weirdos too :) Maybe it's in the water...no-- I bet it's in the cheese!...ah yes, it does beckon to me in the middle of the night :)...I love the dells-- those old fashion photos are too cool!...People look at me funny when I say "WiscOnsin."...Yeah, I've got the sconnie accent...ya! (kinda :)
That's my daughter when she was little :) She's a carbon copy of me. Seen her, you've seen me! Actually I have both of our senior high school pictures side by side and you can't tell them apart. Now she looks young and I look old :(
But she has attitude just like her momma! She's 20 now and in college.
She was five in that picture!
I'm making paper today! I blew off work and I just blew up my blender :(
Sweet! That's the spirit Oz! :)...nothing like a day of luxurious papermaking... :)....I hope you show some on your blog so I can see it! :D...Your daughter is so cute!!!! :)
Hey there! I got tagged by Helen, too. I'm glad I stopped over and got to read your responses... very entertaining! I'd rather pick up dog poop than lead a group home, too!
The Royal Tenanbaums is one of my favorite movies also! And I was born and raised in San Jose, CA; the Winchester Mystery House was always part of the scenery. They used to have this great commercial for it that they'd play at the local drive-in theater when I was small. A ghostly Mrs. Winchester could be heard inticing her workers to "keeeeeep builllllldiiiiing!!!!" Wow, that still scares the crap outta me. :)
Love your blog and your art!
