Tonight I had great displeasure of hosting Jessica and her two little Joys for pizza, sundaes, and a Wii-Boogie smackdown. I would have invited more people, but they all heard Jessica was going to be there and knowing how incredibly boooooooooring she is, they decided to pass.
And so, I was left alone with her and our children. What a fucking nightmare.
Not only does her kid rip the shirt off Quinlan's back, but then when my daughter dancing her little butt off to "YMCA," she totally mocks her right behind her back. Okay, so it's not a "Y" -- she's 3. Cut the kid a break.
You can't see the screen, but she's obsessively counting her score from her "You're the One That I Want" Performance. Okay, you got 174,000 points which is about half of the comments for one post on your blog. Thanks for rubbing it in.
Her daughter, a little over two, could barely stand up on her own. As you can see in the picture, she had to hold her up most of the night while still obsessing over her points.
And of all the bizarre things in this world, she makes her son dress up like a dog. Don't ask. I certainly didn't.
So if you're all jealous about me living here in Atlanta, getting to hang out with some pretty cool mommy bloggers, don't be.
All they do is bring you tasty tofu salad, wash your dishes, and make you realize that playing video games is far from as lame as it sounds.
We'll be practicing our dance moves, two-part harmony, and extended play temper tantrums, Joys family.
Next time, the tofu's on me.




You crack me up!
I'm totally going to invite myself over next time!

Good times!

FACK.
I knew I lived in the wrong damn part on the continent.
I could have totally kicked your collective arses with my redneck ways....

You guys are made for each other. Look forward to many more gatherings.

Clearly, you're having no fun at all. We all need more pink satin skirts in our lives.
Posted by: Lady M | September 30, 2007 at 02:24 AM
Sounds like an awful time.

kristen---you clearly have points up on me. jess didn't dress up like that when she met me at the zoo. and all she was doing was feeding Roo some huge hunks of salami. and trying to act all healthy like with tofu at your house. honestly.

Hmmmm. I could swear I just read a completely different nicer version of how your afternoon together went down...
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Too funny.

There is NO one in Raleigh. Nada. Not one. I am the Lone Blogger, I'm afraid.
I am possibly more jealous of your Wii though.
Posted by: canape | September 29, 2007 at 03:46 PM
What a yawner. Only thing that would've made it worse is beer. Lots and lots of nasty ass beer.
Posted by: mothergoosemouse | September 29, 2007 at 01:47 PM
Sounds horrible. I know my first impression of Jessica when I met her in Chicago was "Eh, what's the big deal? Why does everyone love her so much?"
Glad you were all able to struggle through.

I am so freaking jealous. You AND Jessica. I am so missing out by living in this crapass town.
Posted by: Mrs. Chicken | September 29, 2007 at 11:22 AM
Ah, yes. The dull family joy.
So happy to bore you with our MAD Wii SKILLZ. Mwa ha ha!!!!

THAT is indeed a baby cage.
It works wonders.
For kids and dogs.
Posted by: Kristen | September 29, 2007 at 07:34 AM
Cute cuties.
All a y'all.
Posted by: the new girl | September 29, 2007 at 06:14 AM
ohmygawd, I'm seeing green! Green!
Someone turned down an invitation to hang with you two? Impossible. Because I'd drive the 5 hours to do it.
Though I do have to say I do have some fun blogger hang out time myself down here. It was almost a cardinal sin that I had to miss the latest get together this week due to my CRAPtastic diet. Sigh

Tofu salad AND she did your dishes. Not fair.
Looks like everyone had fun! Lucky You.

Just remembered Plain Jane Mom is in Northern CA. Damn. What blogger lives in Southern CA, and wants to hang out and do my dishes? Anyone?
Posted by: mel from freak parade | September 29, 2007 at 02:01 AM
Count me as jealous. :) And she did dishes too?!?! Time to organize some SoCal blogger get togethers. Do you think Erika, from Plain Jane Mom, does dishes?
Posted by: mel from freak parade | September 29, 2007 at 01:58 AM
I'd be jealous, but I got a few words for ya..

Mobile, AL is the best kept secret in blogging ;)
Posted by: Suburban Oblivion | September 29, 2007 at 12:04 AM
Sounds horrendous.
But how'd you get her to do your dishes? Bribery? Blackmail? A cookie?
Posted by: Phoenix | September 28, 2007 at 11:49 PM
:O I'm so jealous! Those of us in DC really need a wild get together like this one!
Posted by: PunditMom | September 28, 2007 at 11:14 PM
Sniff. Toronto is pretty jam-packed, but I have yet to find another blogger in Bowmanville.
Looks like you had fun, though! (Is that a cage in your living room?)
Posted by: Assertagirl | September 28, 2007 at 11:08 PM
Ya. I'm a bit jealous. But I am up here in Toronto C.A.N.A.D.A and we have quite a hotbed of bloggers up here.
But damn that looks like fun.
