12/23 - Grandma Got Run over'd by a Junk Drawer

by SloppyJoe on Dec 23, 2008 9:29 AM PST Comment 58 comments

Oh yes she did. She's mad too..

Hadn't seen a JD yet today, so I thought I'd take the opportunity.

I'm in Gresham "State of Emergency" Oregon..with 2-3 feet of snow on my side street, and and I'm stuck snowbound with my inlaws. I'm about to go curl up in my garage with a bottle of tequila.

Hope you all are staying warm and get what you want for Christmas!

Tough break with the inlaws man.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

I was trying to be funny.

Nevermind. Chalk it up to cabin fever.

My wife and I are getting a seak preview of what retirement might look like.

Not pretty. I can be very annoying when I’m bored, apparently.

Mortimer Confessions

I started e-mailing Mortimer my confessions. He doesn’t check his e-mail and somehow that makes it more therapeutic to me. I’ll try to mix it up and throw some at the Bat Phone every now and then.

I’m down here in California. Bitterly cold for this time of year (it hit 29F at one point), but certainly no snow. Just days and days of rain.

two trees down in the front yard...

thankfully they fell to the neighbors yard and not on my house. Snapped right in two they did.

Lookng at my trees and I see a couple of big branches up near the top already broken off

but hung up. So I’m doing the mental pachinko thing trying to imagine the route they’ll travel on the way down when they eventually come down. I’m not real optimistic that they’ll miss the corner bedroom.

Doing my best to stay warm.

I’m doing my best to stay warm. Cold here, as we had snow here too and out here in western Canada we don’t get snow often. It is warming up though, so that is good. Sick of putting on millions of layers. As for Christmas, I hope I get what I want. I know others will be getting what they want from me. Just have to finish wrapping my presents.

Dug the car out and made a grocery run to get out of the house as much as anything.

Once I get down off my gawdawful hill, driving the Forester around isn’t so bad.

by raoulduke on Dec 23, 2008 1:22 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

Did the same

and had a 16 year ’ish come up to me outside the store who gave me a hard luck story about how he forgot his ID, used the “sir word” a lot and was real polite and asked me to go in and buy him some cigs. I told him no and then he turned on me and called me every four letter word in the book and “Happy (bad word) holiday”s, etc. It was unreal. My wife just laughed.

I''ve discovered that it is real easy to make those folks run

Normally getting out of the car while cussing works. Popping the trunk or just pretending you’re going to run them over works too.

Pop open the trunk, put your groceries in the front seat, walk to the trunk and have your wife scream at the kid to run now. I like this….

Scroll to about one minute and 55 seconds and that’s what it looks like today. I’m a renter so our place looks nothing like the first part of the video. It’s about 75 or 74 degrees today with a light breeze from the east.

But consistency is good.

Here in Dallas, TX the past week we’ve gone from 76 degrees to 30 to 50 and yesterday was 28. Tomorrow and Christmas should be mid 60’s.

It gets down to about 65 degrees at night. Some people put on a sweatshirt, if I get cold, I put on socks. Laundry is easy, because outside of work, everyone wears shorts, a t-shirt and rubber slippers.

My wife was an accountant in Portland

They all use their frequent flyer miles to visit and then hang out for a week. If I like them, I take time off and show them stuff, if they’re lame, I give them the keys to my car, give them a tourist guide and a Garmin, and tell them to leave me alone.

My wife

Maybe we can all hook up and watch the NBA finals featuring the Blazers beat the Cavs. Oh, I will be leaving the 13 and 16 year old boys in Salem; “snap”. (see previous posts about use of snap).

last minute shopping

My wife just called and said she is taking me for last minute Christmas shopping. I tried to tell her the weather is bad, that didn’t work, she is doing fine on the Salem roads and crusing here to pick me up after visiting her parents. I’m going to miss the game on TV.

Anyone have a good excuse on how I can get out of this?

Walked 4 miles in the snow

No kidding. Walked 4 miles up and down hills (no, not uphill both directions) to go to Safeway. My 15 month old was low on milk. Then I shoveled out my driveway.
