I don’t at all want to steal from the laugh-till-I-cry comment conversation going on over on my uncensored post. (And in case you missed it, here’s the anti-blogger’s blog-length response to the post.)
But, I did want to let you know that tomorrow is my husband’s birthday. And since tomorrow is already today in South Africa, I figured I should let you know today rather than tomorrow. (Confused? Me, too.)
Basically, I just want to send you over to Niel’s non-blog so you can leave him some anti-birthday love.
So go here and say “Hey!”














these are some great pics!
happy birthday Old Niel! :-)

leave it to the one who promised to be in bed 20 minutes ago. oooooo…i’m gonna be in trouble!
We actually have two weddings tomorrow…two! One at ten and the other at two. Glory, it’s gonna be a day!

TWO!?! you should be staying in bed still, shouldn’t you?!
By: alece on July 26, 2008

well…i could use that excuse. it would work much better than the “I lost my prosthetic leg in the middle of CVS while buying your card” excuse. That didn’t fly so well last time.

hire me?!?! Of course! I can’t do much…i hate to cook, can’t dance, make up my own words to every song in the book and refuse to acknowledge that Mr. Rogers is dead. I have issues. But if you’ll take me, I’m all yours!!!!!

well, i’ll need you to start immediately, so unfortunately you’re going to need to cancel your attendance at those weddings tomorrow.
By: alece on July 26, 2008

Perfect!!!
So, then…i must go get my beauty rest! Big day tomorrow…first day on the job is always a doosie!

OK… I haven’t been able to read ALL the comments… so I don’t know if this has been asked- I just have ONE question… do your HOSTS read this blog?!!? :) If so, they might just opt to put you guys up in a hotel themselves!

Simone has a good question.
Alece all your fun conversations happen soooo late at night. :-) That Cathi is a stitch!

simone — ha ha! good question! no, our hosts do not read my blog. we barely know them — and i don’t know if that would make us staying there seem worse or better!!!???
@ngie — yes! my cathinator IS a stitch. she makes me laugh so much.
anna — awww, thanks.

I saw ‘catheter’ and had to do a double take. Those evil things are no laughing matter! :-)
By: @ngie on July 26, 2008
at 12:43 pm
i call her catheter, too — did it a few times in recent comments, so i figured i’d change it up. that was the first time i’ve called her cathinator. ha.
and yes. pure evil.
shudder.

‘Cathinator’ is better. :-D

Happy Birthday, Niel!
Alece, I posted a pic of my cute puppy. You had asked about her mix: miniature schnauzer + chihuahua = schnauhuahua.
Thought you might be interested.
