I'm NOT Back. I'm NOT Tired as H.


We did NOT have a good time on Edisto Island.
We will NOT do an island vacation next year.

Charleston did NOT suck.
The SS Yorktown and Fort Sumter were NOT awesome.

Our house was NOT nice.
It was NOT great being on the beach.

I did NOT love the outdoor shower.
I did NOT love it So Much.

We did NOT discover queen beds are for newlyweds and otherwise crazy people.
We did NOT sleep separately.

We did NOT declare the downstairs apartment Mr.’s “Man Cave,” then change it to “Poop Cave” on behalf of all the Nervous Dumpers who used his bathroom.

He did NOT handle it good-naturedly.

We did NOT enjoy feeding seagulls.
They are NOT rats with wings.

I did NOT enjoy a sunrise with Darling.
It did NOT thrill me to hear her say it was her favorite vacation moment.
It does NOT thrill me still.

I did NOT hate the weak surf for the first three days.

I did NOT get knocked on my teakettle every time I rode in/tried to stand.


I did NOT love/hate the seashells.
They did NOT cut bare feet. And ankles.
They did NOT flay our arms and legs.
I did NOT bring home dozens.

I did NOT face plant, eat sand, lose my sunglasses AND the top of my suit in a Greg Brady wipeout (a la episode 073, “Hawaii Bound”.)
It did NOT wreck me for surfing the next day.

I did NOT discover that my “good camera” has a hidden battery.
Said battery is NOT uncommon.
It did NOT die while on vacay.
Darling does NOT have this very same camera, nor did she have the very same battery dilemma.
We did NOT thank God for my backup camera.

My Dolls do NOT have mad picture-taking skills.

I did NOT love seeing the awesome father/son thing between Mr. and Darling SIL.
They did NOT conspire against the womenfolk.
There will NOT be retribution.

I did NOT read a dozen books.
They were NOT spectacularly entertaining.

I did NOT make really, really bad coffee.

I did NOT drink Mylanta, use a heating pad, and take daily naps.
I did NOT go to bed early.

I did NOT gain weight.

I did NOT shave All The Way Up two times in one week.

My tan is NOT leathery-looking, ash brown.
Everyone else is NOT pinkish, and/or golden brown.

I am NOT old.

That picture does NOT suck.

  13. I sorta wish you had stayed gone, loved the vacay posts, had to really stretch the brain cells to remember some tunes...........I had NOT even noticed you were gone!

  14. Please don't ever go away again. I hear stay-cations can be pretty nice.

    Actually, I'm glad you had a good time. I'm jealous that you look so slim and healthy and rested and vacationy. I gotta get outta here sometime soon too. I think we'll be heading Florida-way before the year is out.

    P.S. I gave you a wee shout-out in my "Eat Mutants Too" post from a while back.

  20. whats up with not being able to critisize your t.v. themed posts, for they need much critisism. just kidding, your brain... amazes me sometimes.

    ReplyDelete

  23. I did NOT totally miss this in my blogroll... I don't know how..... ( for real)

    Sometimes I just amaze me....

    I did NOT miss your blog posts.... AT ALL......

    I am NOT green with envy that you got tan, and relaxed, and ate cookies........

    while I pulled out what remained of my hair, trying to learn my way around a med cart.......

    I am NOT anxiously awaiting your next post...... and the next installment of "Things Kelly Said That Janine Wishes She Was Smart Enough to Have Said"...... ( only available in my twisted little mind )

    and I am most assuredly NOT a horrible person for aforementioned jealously......

    okay, maybe I am........

    But I'm cute, and I have ( had) great hair.....

    WELCOME BACK!!!

    Funny post.

  25. I am aghast that Charleston sucked if I am interpreting this correctly. It is one of the most awesome-est places we like to visit.
