April Fools' Day



well it seems the joke is on me today
last nite driving home, my car just died
my 2007 Acura TL called it quits
without any explanation

i had just got done at the supermarket
buying my weekly "weight watchers" meals
and stocking up on some other frozen items

here i am in the middle of the parking lot
with all my frozen foods in the trunk
and a car that would not move

i tried calling home to see if anyone
could pick me up, no answer
tried the cell, no answer, so needless to
say i am on my own

i do not live far from the supermarket
so i took off walking with my frozen foods,
my briefcase and my purse

every finger, forearm, elbow and hand
were taken, if i could have used my toes
i would have, however i had just gotten
a pedicure and did not want to ruin my
very pretty toes

as i walk my cell phone rings, now how
in gods name am i going to answer the phone
so i let it ring...it rings again...and again
i finally try to find it...looking, grasping, panting

and plop i fall, my frozen foods are now all
over the street, with everything else i was holding
my face is staring at concrete, not a pretty site!

i gather myself up, and all my belongings and
walk back to the car all disheveled
and wait for a ride

the ride came and i am fine
i guess it was just one of those days
where everything seems to go kaput!!!

and my Acura its fine as well
it would have been good if i took the
car out of drive, before trying to start it!

Ha, so the joke is on me, but perhaps
i am not alone!

:O)

One, two, three, PRIDE!!!!!!!

MEK in AZ said...

IBB - love it!! I didn't get my first aarp letter until 2 months before my birthday and I have not sent mine in yet!!!

Happy Fools Day to the Wise owls!

Carol...you got me too! You're a sly fox! And that was great and very impressive that many were fooled!!

Zona....no mischief, just work. However if pictures could come to life, mischief might ensue!!!

Bono...sorry, I am on the road again....and didn't have a chance to answer your question yesterday! No I didn't get to hear Elizabeth Gilbert last night..dang..I was too far away from the venue, with gas being the price that it is, to take that slim chance that I might score a ticket for a sold out talk. Would have been majourly inspirational though...her book Eat, Pray, Love sure is!!!

Driving bloopers: the day I got my drivers license, my mom said I could take her car out for a drive by myself for the first time. Freedom!!! I took her little standard Mazda out and was going quite a good clip when I felt I should change gears and instead of gearing up, I put it into reverse! To this day, I know nothing about cars, but even then I knew by the horrendous grinding sound and the fact that the car came to a dead stop, that perhaps i didn't want to be in reverse at that particular time! Thank the heavens there were no cars behind me...and nobody I knew walking down the street!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Howdy, VIG!!

ibebold said...

HI..VIG... so good to see you...

Hello to the sisters!! Hope your week has improved IBB...good thoughts to you! MEK...are you in need of any Tigers on your comment page?

ibebold said...

VIG-- it is getting better... I am off tomorrow... so that alone is great...
I have only had one day off in the last 14,,, so I was just a little stressed...

Bon'O said...

Hi, IBB, MEK, VIG (and Carol, if you made it back)!

Hmmm,I'm surprised by who I'd vote off IDOL tonight.

MEK in AZ said...

VIG - I can ALWAYS use some Tiger in my tank!! LOL

Bono - howdy - I just looked at the new pics of "our" puppies - they are growing so fast - I won't tell you what it looks like they are eating!! LOL

Bono - who would you vote off??!!

oh wait - K'girl hasn't watched - oh - but these won't be spoilers, just opinions!!!

MEK in AZ said...

235 - LOL

ibebold said...

Bono---
Whatsss Up!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Bono - I enjoyed Dolly night - but I LOVE country music!! I didn't think that Simon's remarks to Carly were called for at all.

Bon'O said...

MEK~~It's ok about the puppy food. Think of my poor daughter. She has to make it, AND clean it up. That's dedication!

Don't want to spoil for K'girl. You'll have mail.

Anonymous said...

IBB...Good to hear. Hope your well-deserved day off tomorrow is relaxing and filled with your favourite things!

Bono...my pick...Ramielle or Kristy Lee! Who do you think should go?

Anonymous said...

Ooops, I forgot about Kgirl...sorry! Should I delete my AI choices?

MEK in AZ said...

No, VIG - we aren't giving any spoilers, just an opinion - now, tomorrow night, we will have to be VERY careful!!!

LOL

MEK in AZ said...

Bono - yes, that is dedication on your daughter's part - but - the rewards will be never ending..

can't wait to get my "mail"!!

ibebold said...

Bono... just went to look at puppy pictures... you guys better quit naming them.. you will have a harder time letting them go...
I made that mistake when our dog had 8 pups... I ended up keeping two of them!!!

ibebold said...

But that was where I got my Duke and Ellie Mae!!!

ibebold said...

Vig--
I agree with the Rameile...
I just love her ... tiny little thing....
But she hasn't shown me much the last couple weeks...

Bon'O said...

VIG~~Your two would also have been in my bottom 3, but based only on tonight (realizing it's HARD to do country if you're NOT country, I would have put Carly on the bottom. Felt sorry for her, though. Wish Simon would limit his opinions to the vocals.

Bon'O said...

IBB~~Daughter told me today she keeps changing her mind about which ONE they want to keep. She picks a favorite, marks him with a tiny dot of nail polish, then changes her mind the next day.

So glad you have tomorrow off! You've had an incredibly rough stretch. Do something special for YOU.

Anonymous said...

Bono..Yea, Ellen said on her show that she thought Simon was getting meaner and I think she might be right. I agree with most things he says...but don't agree with the way he says them or when he comments on peoples appearance!

ibebold said...

Bono..They are all so cute... I know I would be keeping some of them...
I really need to get stuff done around this house tomorrow.. But I will try to do something for me...
THANKS...

MEK in AZ said...

Tonight - I really liked "country girl" - this was a good week for her. but i agree that the little one (I can not say her name) should be the one that goes..

MEK in AZ said...

IBB - I have to go to lunch tomorrow with mom's friends from Colorado!!- I told her that I had WAY too much to do around the house to be gone ALL day with them!!

ibebold said...

I agree about Simon also... i think is right on in his music critique, but as we can all see... he is no fashion-esta!!!

Anonymous said...

Bono...I just went to your page to see the puppies. If one follows me to my page, can I keep it?! Oh my stars, they are soooooooo cute!

ibebold said...

Bono---
I just love puppy breath...

MEK in AZ said...

VIG - thanks for filling my tank with Tiger!!! gotta love some Tiger!!!

MEK in AZ said...

to show ya'll (for Joey and IBB) that there isn't anything on tv right now - I'm watching the Grand Ole Opry!!!

:-)

MEK in AZ said...

looks like Carol didn't make it back in.....

cpgem - hope you have a good night's sleep!!

ibebold said...

Hey guys...
Missed you all... but I am beat...So good night VIG... Bono...
and MEK...
Have a great rest of the night!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Nite IBB!!! enjoy your day off!!

Anonymous said...

Enjoy tomorrow, IBB! Sleep well!

Bon'O said...

IBB/VIG~~My bad, ran away for a bit without so much as a 'Bye' or 'bbl'. Glad you enjoyed peeping the pups. Meant to tell MEK that the family actually described the pup-food as: (TMI alert) "looking pretty much the same upon entry & exit" :o) .... I cleaned that up a bit.

Still have chores, so g'night all!

Anonymous said...

Goodnight, Bono! Great chatting with you!

I had three hours sleep last night..so I am off to bed too! Goodnight, night owls!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Bono - I was thinking the SAME thing about the puppies - so it wasn't TMI to me...

Vig and Bono - good night!!

i should go to bed also - i've been working hard to de-clutter the house and stay off the computer - SO, need my sleep!!

I hope everyone has an excellent Wednesday!!!
:-)
