Strange Friday Post

Randomness may reign in this post, y'all.  

Prepare.

So I'm driving around our town's square tonight and notice some kids riding on the back of two really large animals.

Horses?  Donkeys?  Giraffes?

Nope.

Camels.

There were kids stuffed around the humps of two camels.  Riding around the square.

I asked The King what was up with the Christmas dromedaries.

He said, "You know.  That song 'Come, They Told Me..."

"Um.  King?  That is about a DRUMMER BOY.  Not a DROMEDARY."

Bless his heart.

Now really, y'all.  Bless his heart.

I thought I'd answer another one of your questions while I'm being random.

RRMama asked:

Have you ever met any of your other bloggy friends? Have you traveled to meet them or did they come to you?

I can answer that really quickly, rrmama.  

No.

I know some of my bloggy friends in real life.  But I knew them already. 

So they are not necessarily my bloggy friends.

These are the blogging people that I know...

Beachy Mimi

Amy @ By His Grace

Jules @ The Roost

Shannon @ Rocks In My Dryer

Oh.  Wait.  I lied earlier.  I did meet Melanie from Don't Try This At Home and Bloggy Giveaways and Blogging Basics 101.  I was visiting Shannon earlier this year and was so excited to have the opportunity to meet Melanie.  She is hysterical.

I love hysterical people.

I have certainly made some great friends through blogging whom I would LOVE to meet.  

One particular bloggy friend and I are planning to meet next year, in fact.

So thanks for asking the questions.  

And for pitying that poor King.

About the question....

I have 5-6 "regulars" that visit my site and we have built a little "community", sharing snarky remarks, inspiring each other, cracking each other up!

Anyway, one of the girls is an American living in Nigeria, (Mare), who will be returning to the US in August. We 5 girls are all planning to throw her a welcome home party and all meet for the first time!
States represented are Oregon, Texas,Indiana, Illinois (SO. and Northern)and Owerri, Nigeria!

These girls have become some of my closest friends, can't wait to meet them!

We're planning on calling a talk show to see if they'll cover the story, maybe Oprah since the meeting will be in CHicago!

Thanks for the laugh this morning! I love how you told that camel story (seriously? camels? wow!).

[Michelle]

Hey! I was there eating at Tim's and then walking around freezing to look and the lights. OH and listening to my kids screaming and crying for cotton candy - fun times! The camel rides are fun, but my 10 year old says it's a bit scary with the littler ones she kept thinking they were going to fall off.

[Shannon]

I was laughing at those camels the other night when we drove through! We have to meet soon too! :)

[Shannon]

I was laughing at those camels the other night when we drove through! Maybe because that is supposedly what the wise men came on. We have to meet soon too! :)

[Beth]

Oh my... I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Not at the King, of course. But man... literally LOL. Thanks for making my morning a little lighter. :)

[Beachy Mimi/Queen Mother]

Bless the King. Really. Remember you also kno9w PeepOne and PeepTwo in the bloggyworld, even though they are just lurkers. I got to meet Fuschia and the Pinks and it was like meeting royalty. I have so many others I want to meet!

[Erin]

I thought about the King tonight when my 8 year old was telling me that elephants are engaged. After some arguing, she told me, "You know! When there are almost no more of that animal." You mean endangered??? Poor little blonde thing. :)

Let me tell you something that I learned from first-hand experience. You can thank me now for sharing my valuable wisdom with all. Okay, here it is -

Camels. Spit.

What's with all your comments duplicating? Weird.

I do hope to be on the list for next year...

I was thinking about the Genie in Aladdin saying, "Watch out. They spit!" :) The King CRACKS ME UP!!!

[Julie From Inmates]

If you and the King are ever in WV, I'd love to meet you. =) You crack me up, girl!
