Welcome to another edition of Fly On The Wall group blog postings hosted by Karen of
Baking In A Tornado. Today, three of us are welcoming you into our homes to see what a fly night see---or overhear!
Oh, how I love the month of March! There are so many fun activities going on in the spring, and the weather is still "doable" in South Florida. This is the month of the Florida Ren-Fest along with my daughter's birthday,
and, of course, one of my favorite holidays--St. Patrick's Day!
This is also the best time of year for us to go camping, so we've been exploring more state parks and RV resorts---we go about every two weeks now. And after 21 trips, Yoda has become a pro at traveling.
We will keep up this pace until mid-July, when things start to really heat up, and the vampirish mosquitoes become relentless. Although last week at Sebastian Inlet State Park, the no-see-ums were out again! Of course, that was nothing compared to the alligator that tried to sneak up on us while we sat in chairs by the inlet to watch the sunset. I've never seen my husband move so quickly! Being the curious sort, I walked right over to the mangroves to find the gator, and I thought Hubs was going to have a heart attack. He wanted to "protect" me, but the gator slipped back under the water, and I continued to sip my wine and watch the sunset. No way will I let anything spoil my camping trips!!
The nosy fly was not amused by my antics, but he did listen in on our conversations......
"Hey, remember that time I applied my foundation to your face?"
"How could I forget? It was a disaster."
"You had spots all over your skin from working in the sun. I was trying to hide your imperfections."
"You'd have to chop off my entire head to do that."
"This berry-flavored energy drink is awful."
"No, it's not. It tastes good, like a berry snow cone."
"Yeah, a snow cone laced with berry cough syrup."
"Why does your phone keep going off with texts from work?'
"My new boss has questions."
"I think you must have a girlfriend-----a side piece."
"Nope---you're my only side piece... you're also my front piece and my back piece."
"I'm not sure what that means---especially the 'back piece', but I hope it's a compliment."
"It's fine if we leave leftover champagne in the fridge. We have a rubber stopper for it."
"What leftovers? Too bad we don't have a stopper for our mouths. "
"What do you mean you want me to touch you more often? I touch you all the time. "
"Yeah, but it's usually when you're wiping something gross on me. "
"I loved seesaws and merry-go-rounds when I was a kid. The faster the better!"
"Seesaws are the reason I have trust issues."
"You should've gone to church with me this morning to get your forehead smudged for Ash
Wednesday."
"What's the point of it?"
"It's a symbol of human mortality, a preparation for Easter, and repentance---plus asking for mercy for your past sins."
"Then they'd better cover my whole face in ashes. "
"Hey, can you grab that bottle of aspirin out of my purse?"
"Um, how do I know this isn't a trick? Your purse is a giant, black hole of junk. For all I know, there could be a torpedo in there just waiting to blow up when I open it."
"Because torpedoes are too big....but a grenade would fit..."
"How is it possible that you've never seen the movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
"I'm from a small farming community. We only had one movie theater in the 1970s, and it was still playing black and white movies without sound."
"Well, you really missed out on something. I'm going to find Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for you to watch so we can relive my childhood."
"I live that every day with your child-like brain."
"These spare ribs are delicious but extra fatty."
"Well.... they say you are what you eat...."
"Yeah, but I'm still your favorite side piece..."
We're off again next week on a camping trip with the neighbors, and then later on heading to North Florida. Hopefully, there won't be any no-see-ums or gators this time, but at least I'll have my side piece (or my back piece?) to protect me.
