Today Monday?? (grab coffee)

LOL- today has been one of those UPSIDE down days so far ( oh and sideways and backwards)-hahahaha, got woken up this morning with my DAD shouting down the passage MORNING MORNING MORNING- HUH? What are you doing *old man*?- you could have given me a heart attack- hahaha, He had come to *borrow* my gardener for an hour this morning and decided the house needed to be woken up too- lol. Nathan jumped up ( YES he is HOME- WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO) with such a fright- we both sort of stood in the kitchen looking befuddled-hahaha. Poor boy takes after his mother who needs at least 30 minutes to sort of wake up enough to say anything intellectual- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Then Wayne phones me just after that to see if I'm up- UHUM not really, still in my PJ's- Well I'm fetching you in 15 minutes to meet my boss- WHAT?????- Holey SMOKES DAMMIT! lol. I have never speed showered and put on make up so FAST in years! Still went with my hair all wet and hanging all over the place- ARRGHH, give me SOME warning you know- hahahaha. But all's well, he's a relaxed guy and laughed at me- UHUM, well ok I laughed at myself too;-).

OOOH and I have a story I have been wanting to share ( GRAB COFFEEEE- lol)

I don't know how it is in your households- but in mine, Hubby is the one that is SH_T scared of gogga's( insects and spiders) and get this FROGS! He has this phobia about frogs since he was a KID- we all know it and have teased him many a time over the years about it-

SOOOOOOO

I have a little kitty cat right- and being summer with lots of rain we have this WONDERFUL array of frogs singing in the garden late at night ( you are sooo getting the picture here already aren't you- hahaha). THREE oclock in the morning I get woken up with EVERY light on in the room- the main one, the side lamps- the bathrooms- lol. I'm BLIND first of all as I don't know what the hell is going on-

Wayne is standing by the bathroom door peering IN like someone spying on someone- I'm still sooo asleep - I just ask WHAT??- He says FROG!!!! in a panic voice - I go *OH* and turn over and go back to sleep- BWAHAHAHA. ( I am so not good in the early hours)-

I wake up the next morning and sort of remember FROG- and yet Wayne is up and in the kitchen already- he looks at me and says- OH before we go to the shops can you get the TWO frogs out the bathroom- WHAT HUH??- TWO frogs??- UHUM how BIG are they??- so he starts off with a HAND size and brings in down to small- but HELLO- you just trying to get ME to do it aren't you- NO WAY'S HOZE- lol, I don't want to do FROGS!

He said he eventually threw a TOWEL over each of them in the bath so he could go back to sleep and he knew they would be there for ME to do in the morning when I woke up- RIGHT??- OOOPS SOOOOORRRRRYYY-NOOOO! lol

So after another hour the man decides he is going to be a MAN and THIS is how you CATCH A FROG- NOT-lol

1

THROW ANOTHER TOWEL over the one ALREADY in the bath as you don't want ANY bits of the TINY frog sticking out now-

2

FOLD the towels in under the TINY FROG - but do only ONE fold at a time and jump back each time before doing another fold in-lol

3

GRAB the towels holding it as FARRRR away as from you as humanly possible- ( check the size of the towels for a little frog- HAHAHAHAH)

4

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE with the towels so far in front of you you look like you are going to loose your balance!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm now crossing my legs laughing so much that I couldn't even take anymore pics and had to run to the toilet! To make it even funnier- he FLICKS the towels out on the grass- and you guessed it - NO FROGS- BWAHAHAHAHAH, OMG, you should have seen the panic on the mans face- he wouldn't even come into our bedroom- I had to check it for him first. But I found them eventually - the Cat had come and fetched her TWO frogs obviously after he put a towel on them and left me the remains in the dining room- ( that I had to clean- YUCK! lol)

Ok- Warned you to get coffee- hee hee, I used the wonderfully talented Flergs frames from her Dusk till Dawn mini kit freebie.

And seeing that tomorrow looks like I'm BACK TO SCHOOL shopping etc I might not be able to get on to blog ( so giving you a real good one today- hee hee)

What a great way to start my day! Laughing.... Not to worry Wayne. We're not laughing AT you - we are laughing WITH you. Maybe the wayward frogs are payback for not giving Kim more notice when meeting your boss LOL...

Reminds me of seeing my ex standing in the middle of the bed, hollering "Get him, Get him," when my poor little hamster got out of his cage... My hero! LOL

Thank you for the great overlay, Kim. Have a MARVELOUS day!

Luisa said...

HAHAHA Thanks so much for the freebie and for the laugh!! I could use a bunch this morning, LOL

Linda Sutton said...

Thanks for the overlay.

Being Mrs Miles said...

Hay, thats how I stand around in the morning... befuddled, for at least an hour. I think I sort of stand around like the little sheeps in shaun the sheep for an hour just blinking and watching my Mr. Have you ever SEEN shaun the sheep? Wahl, in caste you have not:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qas27wHba4w&feature=PlayList&p=0A92D50CDA821F77&index=0&playnext=1

Now, this 15 minute warning to meet the boss... yeah, that WOULD be a little tricky, but sounds like you pulled it off. Sheesh, sounds like you could have kept the pj's on for a REAL good laugh.

Oh KIM - I love that word GOGGA's ... oy!!!! I think that would make a TERRIFIC name for a kit full of critter insect things. I can see word art like "eeewww!" and frog toe patterned papers and ... well, you get the idea.

Sounds like anybody with a boy (cept Wayne's mother, obviously) would buy it for scrapping their kids.

Oh my gracious, I snorted coffee thru my nose at the frog tale. haha, Wayne's the frog prince hahahaha. I am so glad you caught all the action on film and now I think you need to send the link to the boss in retaliation for the 'get ready in 15 minutes' thing he did for you haha.

Of course your products etc are fabulous, as usual! Is that an oxymoron, or what, how can something be fabulous and usual. Anyways, its GOOD its THE BEST.

Wellll, I just got snagged on a chat so must run! Fanks for sharing your funny husband's antics!

Love, Barb

makeyesup said...

Thanks for good belly laugh. Is your hubby going to delete all those pics so none of his manly friends ever see them? I had a similar situation with toads, at least I've heard they don't hop like frogs. About 6 years ago, when I went to clean my window wells, saw families of them in each well. So I called my son-in-law and asked him to come clean them for me. He brought his approx. 10 year old nephew with him and it sure was funny watching how they jumped away everytime one of the toads moved. Now, I just get out my gardening glove, little shovel and plastic bag and do it myself. Oh yes, thanks for near overlay.

charlie said...

lol..thanks for the funny stories Kim..I nearly snorted coffee through my nose this morning..hehehe

Beth said...

WAHAHAHA!!!!!! Thanks for the BIG LAUGH this morning Kim!!!! I was getting a bit 'teary eyed' from the giggles too!!!! LOL! My husband is scared of frogs too... (what is it with these guys...???) We had one in our garage once... a TINY one... and he wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole! I just went over, scooped it up... and let him go somewhere else. Big macho man isn't he??? Hee hee hee....

Anonymous said...

Those photos of Wayne are priceless but I don't know why I am laughing cos I would do the same......frogs ugh!!!!!!!! Horrible critters!!!!

The Udy Family said...

LOL!!! Thanks for sharing the great frog story! What a way to start the day, the picture were the perfect touch to this hilarious moment :)
I'm loving your newest grab bag!
And thank you soooo much for the great overlay!
Have a fabulous day!

Andrea said...

HAHHAHAHA terrified of frogs, eh? That's HILARIOUS!!! I used to get woken up as a kid to fetch birds {the ones our cat would bring in the house to play with} and release them if they were alive enough. Apparently, since I had a pet bird, that qualified me as the *bird catcher*!!! I also had to be the one to retrieve lizards sometimes too. HAHAHA

Didn't know that cats would eat frogs? eeewww that must've been a FUN mess to clean! yuck!

LOVE all the goodies in your grab bag! And Bunny's cc kit is AWESOME!!

Thanks for the little freebie!

Manu said...

Fun overlay. TFS!

DigiLover said...

My goodness my computer screen looks all blurry now I've been laughing at your poor Wayne so hard I can hardly see from my tears!!!

Men!!!!!! aren't they such little wooses!!! My hubbie is terrified of spiders no matter how big/small they are. He reckoned one chased him around his grandma's clothesline and back up her back stairs when he was a kid and he's been scarred for life ever since. Whenever he sees one he practically empties a can of insect spray on the poor little thing.

My pet peeve is ants especially if they make their way into my kitchen and with us having so much rain of late that seems to be where the little rotters try and head for.

thanks again for the morning laugh and for the great overlay!!!

{{{hugs}}}

Sherrie said...

I LOVE the metal bits! They are gorgeous!

LLG Denise said...

Sheesh, you should have warned us to strap on a diaper too!

I feel for Wayne! With our last mouse, i never saw IT, just the evidence (we had already hired someone to come find it who couldn't but IIIII stumbled across it!) and a wee bit of fur or ear or something--something dead that long i was not going to view fully, i'll tell you! N E Hoooo.. it was IN my basket of clean (but obviously not yet put away, smirk) towels, so i took all the ones off the top till i go to where if i lifted one more i'd see it, then i reached under and took the next two (goodbye gifts from Munchen!), did the folding bit, put the roll in a plastic bag, then took the bag to the gas station and put it in THEIR trash! The worst is when you go through all that and find the stupid thing later: Surprise! fortunately, that did not happen to me in this case. yet. It's stopped stinkin' so i don't know....

Great pictures!

Deanna said...

HAHA that story is toooo funny!! I LOVE your overlays!!! thanks so much for sharing!

Jewel said...

That frog story is toooo funny! I guess now hubby knows all he needs to do is lock the cat into the bathroom with the frogs and be done with it:)


Thanks for the overlay - have a great day!

KristiYaYa said...

Love your frog/DH story, but better yet, is the wonderful way you tell tell/photo it!!!!! Thanks so much for a delightful laugh and a sweet freebie treat!

Ladye said...

Oh my gosh, I can tell you Wayne wouldn't like it here in the Texas Gulf Coast, we een have a Toad named for our area...LOL Frogs abound here and in the spring sometimes we even get young from in the showers, rain that is, not in the house.

You gave me a great laugh and as usual your blog is so much fun to vist, now I really need to get your color challenge done.

Amy W. said...

Kim!
Wahahahaha! That was too funny! Reminds me of when our mens went out to sea and my neighbor would call me down to her apartment to kill bugs or something. thanks you for the little goodie and I'm glad you like your goodies too! I even got a plug because you're so very cool! Giant hugs my friend,
-Amy

Fun pictures, and thanks for the freebie!

Evelyn/Ev/Evee said...

Just love the frog story! Reminds me of a pal who found a frog in the garden and tried to pick it up to have a closer look. Don't tell Wayne that! Anyway she managed to grasp the frog. "I've got it!" .... "No I haven't!" as it jumped off her hand.
"I've got it now!".... "No I haven't!" "Got it!"... "Oops, no!" and so it went on till I think the poor frog thought it would be better to give in gracefully. Norma finally got hold of it and we were able to have a real good look before she put him down on the grass again, and boy did he make a hop for it then!

Cindyrelly said...

Love the froggies story AND the Overlay ;) Definitely gonna use it in my contribution to the Color Challenge! Thank You :)

Being Mrs Miles said...

You must be outside letting frogs go.

Oh well, I'll come back in a while and see if you're about.

Um, don't ever make frogs legs for Wayne on the Braai, right?

Linda Walton aka bobbysgirlforever said...

ROFLMBO!!! Oh Barb, you IZ too funny girl and to think I grew up on frog legs!!! ACK!

ANYONE READING THIS BEHIND ME: Kim B's GRAB BAGS are not EVER to be missed!!! They are worth their weight in gold I tell ya!!!

Kim love, I LOVE the dangling chain and have used it to hold a VERY lovely charm in my new blog freebie, along with a few of your EXCEPTIONAL overlays, a toe and LACE!!! SOOOOOOO pretty!

YOU IZ a HOOT and a HALF I tell ya! POOR Wayne would not get on well here in my neck of the woods as we have LOTS of FROGGIES on board at certain times of the year, although I've not found any in the house and I am sure that my kitties would snatch 'em up before I could ever see them anyhoo, eh?!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

You have got to have some of the FUNNIEST albums to share with your future generations!!! When I read your stories and look at your ALL too telling photos, I think of AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS!!!

Leaving you some LOVE girl - BIG HUGS TOO,

Unknown said...

LOL The photos are too funny! But I have to say I understand his Frog Phobia , as I have one too since childhood. Can't stand them, my sons used to laugh while chasing Mom (me) around with a frog. Just recently one of my grand-daughter's tried so hard to explain to me "A frog won't hurt you, you aren't really scared of them are you Nana?" LOL I don't want them ANYWHERE near me!!

Thanks for the overlay :)

Please consider leaving your links up 48 hours. I don't get yesterday's links until 11 AM the next day, when they've expired. While I wish I had the time to check each blog individually, I rely on an aggregator, and it still takes me literally all day and evening to look at everything I want to check out.
You've got some great stuff!
