Thank You Very Much

The Daily Dribbles


It's Christmas Eve and I thought I'd better get my therapy in while I can. Seeing as how family gatherings can drive me mad, I need to go in with a healthy frame of mind to start off. Kmama is not having MckLinky today, but feel free to comment on my post anyway!

To the washing machine that went kaput right before we go out of town and need clean clothes. Actually- anytime is a bad time for the washing machine to go kaput. Thank you very much.

To the garage door that decided to run off its track when Chris was returning the repaired washing machine that cost us $125. Did you just need to put icing on the cake? Thank you very much.


To Chris who went against our agreement on not buying each other anything this year forcing me to run out and buy a gift on the eve of Christmas Eve. Thank you very much.

To Rocco who won't quit barking and is becoming the nuisance of the neighborhood. Thank you very much.

To the follower who UNFOLLOWED me 2 days before Christmas. Thank you very much.



Whew! I feel better now. Hopefully I'll be able to go sit amongst family and not want to stab myself in my eye with my dinner fork.

16 Validations To Make Me Feel Worthy:

ha! is that pic from spongebob? lmao

Brandi said...

Unfollowed!! What?! ♥ the Spongebob pic!!!

We agreed on no presents, but I cheated and ordered Scott some Bama gear. He's been sleeping in his clothes b/c it is freezing on the rig, so I got him some Bama scrub pants and a t-shirt... gotta be more comfortable than khakis and a polo.

I'm glad you posted 'cause I couldn't remember if I'd told you Merry Christmas yet and it was bothering me. Anyhow, I hope you guys have the BEST, relaxing, non-stressful, blessed holiday EVER! Merry Christmas! :)

Do you ever just ask yourself "why?" "Why me?" I'm sorry, girl!

He & Me + 3 said...

So sorry about the washer and the garage door. That stinks.
We agreed on no presents and then he goes out and buys me stuff too. I was out last night as well getting stuff:)
I am still in awe that someone unfollowed you:(
Hugs & Merry Christmas my friend,
mimi

That gargage door looks like it made a mess! Yuck...I bet that was no fun! Our washing machine broke a few weeks ago...one of Eli's socks got stuck in the water pump! I hope you have a great Christmas!

To my nephew who took out EVERY SINGLE SMALL PLASTIC toy including legos, dinosaurs less than 1/3 of an inch, pieces of games and spread them all over my 4 year old's son, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

To my sister-in-law who believed me when I said, "No, that's okay, I'll get it later," THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

To hubby who criticized my half hour lamenting while I sorted through all the little toys on my son's floor and did nothing, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

To the true anti-semitics of this world that makes me frightened to write the next sentence, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Neil Diamond singing, "Oh, Holy Night," you are Jewish. It doesn't work. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

To PMS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

{Congratulations on getting a new garage door. I think that qualifies for your husband's Christmas present. Thank you very much.)

Well, Santa will not need to go through the chiminy when he has such a nice garage entrance!

~Merry Christmas Julie~

See if you'd have just had surgery on Tuesday, you could be well-medicated by now. (not that it's helping that much)

Y'all have a great Christmas, my friend!

Jen@Scrapingirl said...

"Stab my eye with a fork" Where do you come up with this stuff? I hope the week gets better.

My hubby bought me something(Grrr) but he also bought himself something. So we're even. :) Men....

Lisa said...

Lordy, Christmas and no washing machine? Might as well call it off! I mean seriously, how can ya make it with the 4,999 extra loads a holiday brings on? Glad it is taken care of (from what I gathered?) and working. Hope you have a GREAT Christmas, and have missed out on being able to sit at the computer chair and read about the lives of all my bloggy friends. Doing great after the gallbladder surgery, but I have oh-so overdone it today. Hey, it's Christmas. You do what you gotta do, right? Merry Christmas!

brian said...

I did NOT laugh at the picture of your garage door. That would be wrong, and uncharitable...

(Bwahahahahaha...oops...sorry)

Ms. Julie--Thanks for all of your encouragement and many kind comments this year. You are the best! Merry Christmas!

Ho ho ho...

Stone Fox said...

Corrie Howe said...

Stupid follower........dammn them!

Kmama said...

And the lumps just keep coming, don't they? I'm sorry about the washer and garage door. What a PITA. I hope you were able to move forward and have a nice Christmas anyway.

And a lost follower? WTH??
