Fun With Facebook Friends- Sometimes it’s better

Posted on September 9, 2010 by ThePeachy1 in FaceBook Fun

Yep it’s that time of the week where I pull a random post straight off my facebook account and share it with you. Remember if your facebook doesn’t look like my facebook you need way cooler friends.

The last few weeks, a couple of the posts I pulled each had over 100 comments. One was about me taking a shower, and one was about my cat suing me.  So last week I pulled the one that showed my inner Geek and talked about how absolutely horrible it is that anyone could think it was ok to put a StarFleet Captain in a speedo.

As you can tell around here, I just got back from the Infamous Camping Trip of 2010, but for days before I went it was the topic on my mind both here and on my facebook.  Since I haven’t been back long enough to get back into the swing of things I pulled my last Facebook post from before I left. My darling genius twisted friends kept commenting on it after I left and I am so glad I couldn’t see all those comments because I was already gone.

fun with facebook friends the camping version of 2010

dirt, public showers and snakes? WTF? snakes? oh hell no y'all.

( Rachel is referring to the great facebook shower debacle of 2010 to read about it click here)

funny friends on facebook make status message hilarious about camping

so glad I had left before I read any of these and didn't see them until the trip was over

By the time Shane, Holly and Jeff were talking about me getting my head chopped off during a camping trip in or out of a public shower I had already went through 4 Gulf Coast States.  Yes I was camping in Deliverance country.

Lucky for me I found a place to rent a kayak.  unlucky for me it was apparently 1 inch too long and busted the windshield out of my Dodge Grand Caravan as we were returning it.  So if any auto glass companies out there want to sponsor a replacement windshield I am happy to become your marketing pawn.  hit me up ( beingpeachy@gmail.com)

So that’s it’s for this weeks Fun with Facebook friends at Being Peachy.  Remember if your face book doesn’t look like my facebook you need WAY cooler friends. Come on over and play with us, we rarely bite but we often forget the plot.

xoxo

Posted on September 7, 2010 by ThePeachy1 in It's Juicy, The Peachy Tree

Hi guys,  well it looks like I am back, sort of kind of, maybe.  If you are the one faithful reader I have then you know I have been on what in some cultures would be classified as a vacation.  Thursday I drove my Daddy’s  land yacht RV to near the LA state line. Friday I drove to Florida for him before crossing AL, and back towards the LA state line to begin the what will forever be referred to as the “infamous camping trip of 2010”.

Camping with The Peachy1 at Being Peachy 2010

This was just before I spelled out SOS in driftwood

Even though I built my house way out in the woods apparently there is still an appeal to camping when you are a 9 year old boy.  I remember taking my older 2 primitive camping with my friend Shannan and her 2 little ones for 9 days.  It was awesome.  By awesome I mean we were filthy covered in dirt and scars on our mental Psyche  that no therapist can undo.  Since that trip I have been derelict in my parenting camping duties. I take hotel trips and day kayak or canoe trips.   When the Prince got a tent, mess kit and all the camping goodies for Christmas 2 years ago I camped with him on our land.  Acres of woods with no street lights, that’s camping right? Sure we were just about 150 feet from the house but I turned off all the lights and made the rule we couldn’t go in the house for anything from 5pm to noon the next day so it felt like camping.

After his second super dull suck summer thanks to me and the dumb medical stuff I was way overdue on giving him an adventure that didn’t take place on Casa De Kirk .

To be honest this trip was not for me, this trip was for 2 men in my life that I would throw my body into a pool of alcohol and razor blades for.  My Daddy and my son the 9 year old Prince.   The Prince is the only Grandchild out of a large herd that my Daddy had not taken camping and considering my Dad’s age and health he wanted to make this trip special for my little prince.

some memories will stay with you forever I hope this is one of them

Here are some memories the Prince,  PawPaw and the Droid shared that I hope I never forget.

The Prince and his PawPaw take early morning walks

1- Several walks a day, bring education on trees, birds and flowers.

PawPaw, the Droid, The Prince all roasting marshmallows on our camping trip

2-Paw Paw showing you how to use his pocket knife to sharpen a roasting stick then letting you do it.

The droid and The Prince Kayaking together

3- Kayaking with your dad

4- being allowed to kayak down a river by yourself

( *** that kayak busted the front windshield out of my mini van on Monday, any auto glass sponsors out there want to hit me up give me a call or email I am easy***)

Alex and his pawpaw playing checkers on our camping trip

5- checkers with PawPaw, there is no substitute.

There are a million more memories we shared over this trip. Knowledge was passed down from generations and love was in abundance.  There was no wii, no xbox, no laptops, and no cell phones.  None of us died from that.  In addition none of us got poison ivy.  Even though I did almost call the Coast Guard when the Prince and Droid took a bit longer than I thought they should to make it to the pick up point.  The only bear was me, when I was woken up at 430am.

Thankfully my daughter Sam drove down 1 night after work getting in at midnight and then got up with Paw Paw allowing me to sleep until nearly 730am to which my dad proclaimed I slept the day away. Thanks Sam for taking a hit for the home team.

As far as the snake bite, I had considered faking one so I could go to an ER with AC and vending machines and checked with my twitter people and face book friends before I left and if it came down to it I would have done that. But actually I didn’t need to.  If you have to ask me why, scroll through the pictures above again.

I hope each of you take a moment to let those you value, or those you love let them know how much and why today, maybe even share a memory with them.

xoxo

Weekly Recap

Posted on September 5, 2010 by ThePeachy1 in It's Juicy

Hi guys, as you know I am on hiatus.  That’s the nice way to put in the middle of the woods camping with my daddy and my son.   In the sweltering heat with boatloads of insects and animals that want to eat the flesh from my body.  Or I could be in the ER. You just never know with me. I am so zany and unpredictable.

Let’s go over the things that happened here early this week before I went “camping”.

Moronic Monday- I spilled the beans about my friend dancing with Mary Jane and our inexplicable escape from a ticket/jail time,  that probably  made it into the journal of horrible excuses cop hall of fame.

My Non Advice Column on Tell It Tuesday – some poor misguided soul confused me for a famous person, and one mom stood out in a sea of sell out take the easy road parenting and became my new hero.

WTH Wednesday- My non topic free flow day. I pimped out Jason Mayos new kids book “Do Witches make Fishes”,   owned up to the fact I am baffled by the emails I get asking for parenting advice and let you know I have a stunt butt double and my dog is in the union.

Fun with Face Book Friends Thursday–  last week was about my cat suing me and it got over 100 comments, the week before same thing but the status was a shower. I got emails saying I was making it up so after I hunted those people down and wrote idiot in poop on their forehead I picked a much shorter face book thread but made it long anyway because I used interpretive dance, and I had a little geek stuck to my roller skate wheels, and admitted I am a scifi loving girl, but speedos do not go with starfleet captains.

Funny Fridays- I gave you an email from my dad about Cajun Math, and then a super funny mouse video.

Then of course on Saturday I explained that by the time you guys read all this I could already be a blip on the local news between a douche and hemorrhoid commercial.

So that’s how it went down here on Being Peachy life living in ThePeachyLand.  I hope you had a great week and enjoy the long weekend. I am probably taking Monday off, it’s Labor day.

xo
