So, Randy and I are having a discussion and he said something funny and I had the best retort.
I don’t post conversations between me and Randy without running it by him first. The understanding is, if he’s uncomfortable, then I won’t post it.
He has never once said no. He might have cringed a few times, but mostly, he laughs and never says no.
Until tonight. Not going to lie, I’m the teeniest bit butthurt. But, fair is fair.
I’m going to need a few more minutes to pout.
He wasn’t so much uncomfortable as he didn’t want me to talk in any detail about writing projects we’re kicking around. So, sooner or later, I’ll be able to tell you the conversation. Honestly, the only way you’d find it even remotely amusing is if you’re familiar with the movie Kalifornia.
And there’s no point in pouting now anyway. We have a week in the mountains ahead of us.
My baby boy spent the last week in the mountains with Mountain girl and the Bass player. I’m getting texts every day from him telling me how awesome it is.
Now it’s our turn. Yay!
When we took Joey down last weekend, we stopped at this overlook on Clinch Mountain in Tennessee. The picture doesn’t do it justice.
Then this picture. This appears to be an abandoned house about 20 minutes from my friend’s house. I’m not sure how many miles away it is. They live in the Shire and travel is different there from the rest of world.
Anyway, what kind of brilliant monster would put something this terrifying in the window? Seriously. I fully expect this to become a frequent visitor in my anxiety dreams.
So, I was on The Huffington Post talking about the way we listen to music.
Also, here are a couple memes I had on my Rubber Shoes In Hell Facebook page.
Brilliant Monster… or a real ghost…
Have a wonderful week in the mountains!
(Does this mean re-runs on Monday? 🙂 )

Good morning, Lisa! I was going to say the same thing about that house—what makes Michelle think someone put that there? Haha! What would be even more brilliant is if they added a hand on an intermittent timer—slowly waving for a few seconds and then stopping. Waving for a few seconds, then stopping. 😀 Beautiful picture of that lookout! Makes me wish I was there!
Have a great time in the mountains and share some pics when you return! Lisa and I will have to entertain ourselves somehow. It’s been too hot here to do much of anything.
Things in windows are just the scariest. There was a mannequin shop at the base of a bridge I used to cross and in the upper windows they placed mannequins sometimes with a missing limb sometimes pointing. It was fuel for nightmares. There was an old Twilight Zone about mannequins that I was way to young to watch that congers up such nightmares. And the bridge is a draw bridge and years ago I got stopped while some freaking boater in their mega sail boat had to have the bridge raised to get downtown and to my left was the mannequin windows and one was a torso with the head backward! The shop moved, thank goodness, because I still use that bridge.
The Shire! I want to live in the Shire.
Thanks for posting the picture of the window (not) because now I have new fodder for my nightmares.
Like I need more.
Have fun in the mountains!
That house is a little like the things my mother used to put in her paintings, only she probably would have broken the window and had wild rose vines climbing all around it…
Those are two very very different but equally fantastic photographs!
To be honest, I don’t know which one I’d rather see in person.
Take a picture on the way out to see if it moved or is even there. That’d really be freaky if it’s gone.
I’ve spent about 2-3 weeks on and off looking at youtube videos about ghosts. I’m convinced that there are ghosts, and UFOs and mermaids and all kinds of weird oddities. I may be nuts but I’m not crazy. The other night something tugged at my blanket.
I want to move.
We have house in worse shape than that about 10 miles from McMansions and people are still living in them year round.
That picture is terrifying. Have a lovely time sweetie.
That’s hilarious I have that same picture. We come home that way all the time. From where you’re standing it’s like we were in the exact same spot…just different time of course.
Whatever that thing is in that window it terrifies me which is exactly why I’d want to go in that house and find out what it is. And what else is in there. My experience with “abandoned” houses, though, has been that they’re often the property of people who live nearby who don’t take kindly to strangers.
Or there was the time, late at night, that some friends and I were on the second floor of an old abandoned barn and heard a strange strange slurping sound from below.
It was a cow drinking from a trough.
That makes some people laugh but I find cows terrifying.
I LOVE the movie Kalifornia. So there.
