I'd like to report a hijacking!!!
Calliopes? Pipe Organs? What's next, contrabassoons???
I've decided to skip church tomorrow and go freeze my adorable hiney off on an early morning quail hunt. Why? (I hear you ask.) Well, I think it wise to avoid contact with "Mommy Dearest" and "Algernon" for a week or two.
I've already advised the choir director that I'd not be present and he knows the reason.
One of the KiKaKo members came over tonight to take in dip in the heated pool and sip a drinkie in the spa. While we were soaking 'n sippin', all nekkid and stuff, she came up with a couple of "what ifs" that you might find amusing.
"Yoli", she said (for that is my name, y'see,) "What if...you finally succeeded in getting the point across to 'Mommy Dearest' and Algy that there was NO hope for the desired union THEN somehow found out that Algy possesses the most beautiful, durable, and talented

in the universe?" I thought that was funny but it did set me to wondering if he actually might possess such an organ.
Then she said "What if his equipment was either impressive or not so much so but what he really wants is to be castrated just for YOU then let you either send him back to mama or keep him around, much in a role similar to that which Barry T. Eunuch plays in your life?"
I though about these two scenarios and I will admit they do give rise to ideas but...knowing that "Mommy Dearest" might come with the deal...no effing way will I take down the The Wall.
Well, we nattered about the various "scripts" that might be written and directed (by guess whom) re his snipping until we were both sweetening the spa's water with a clear and special honey that only we ladies can manufacture (Eat your hearts out, bees!) and we'll discreetly draw the curtain re the next hour+. Suffice to say that Ash(leigh) did join in, a truly rare thing in that she prefers frolicking with only me.
So, while I may seem cowardly about being in proximity to the crazy lady and her victim of a son, I believe a couple of weeks of avoidance to be the best course of action. You see, when the be-yotdch inquires, as I know she will, "Where's Yolanda???" one of the other choir members plans to say, and none too quietly, "Well, if you'd leave her ALONE she might come back!!!"
I can't wait to hear how THAT goes.
Oh, BTW, I'm eating a sandwich as we speak...Ham on rye with Swiss chizz, accompanied by a wedge of red onion and a large Claussen Kosher Dill Pickle.
Beverage? A bottle of a friend's home-brewed root beer. Root beer, as I've discovered, is not particularly complimentary to this specific cuisine. Shoulda grilled one of my semi-famous 1/2 pound chizzboigers and tossed some Ore-Ida Tots in the oven...Oh well, the homemade cheesecake with a generous pour of Chambord over it to folllow will make up for any shortcomings. Nothing like a healthy snack past Midnight...right?
I doubt my little tummy will allow for much sleep after such a nosh and I have to be in the SUV and on the road at 6AM...Stupid Yoli! Maybe three hours of ZZZZZZ...Dummy! Prolly shoot myself in my pedicured tootsie.
Update on the Mangusta! Catastrophe! A bird pooped on the steering wheel the other day as it was parked here, top down. The steering wheel cleaned up easily and is expected to make a full recovery. The bird died (I keep a powerful pellet gun on hand to discourage grackles when they flock within my domain, y'see.) because he was stupid enough to remain perched on the limb over the car. He was interred with military honors, I guess. After all, one of the cats volunteered to see to the final arrangements and promised a sendoff with dignity and respect.
PETA be damned!
What IS in this root beer??? I can't seem to shut up.
SHUT UP, YOLI!!!
OK. Sorry.
Luv to all,
Yoli
Slayer of grackles, friend to all.
