But seriously?
When I think about it. With a *childrens~benadryl~free~mind. As much as Amish. People. Rock. I think I'd rather just be thier neighbor.
I love the simplicity of thier lives. I love that everything they do surrounds thier faith. Ya know what I mean? They are diligent. They are focused. They totally *stand together.
And, how often have you heard about someone actively practicing Amish~ness, going on a mad~bonanza~style~killing~spree? (Did they have those on bonanza? Shoot outs? Maybe? It was a western. Wasn't it?) Don't you think they'd make awesome neighbors?
AND. As neighbors, I get the added bonus of keeping all~of~the~totally cool~stuff~that~I~really~don't~need~but~totally~take~for~granted.
Like a washer & dryer.
My truck.
*Store bought milk.
Spray & Wash.
laptops.
Aeropostle.
PBS.
*No More Tangles.
Magic Erasers.
Fruit Snacks.
Cell phones.
I know. That is a sorry list. That's why I stopped. Did ya notice I used the word totally 2'ice in one sentence? I totally did. You want to know what's even sadder?? I noticed before I even hit post. I just didn't feel like changing it.
Did I mention I've moved on to nyquil?
Last night that stuff knocked me out cold. For like 13 hours. And I was still absolutely exhausted all day today.
It's been a while. A long long time really. But if I remember correctly this is pretty much what a hangover feels like. Can I tell you how thankful I am that my body has a natural aversion to alcohol? Not so much because I think that all forms of it are the epitome of evil. More because of the mack truck it parked on top of my head. I would ask the driver to back up but I can't see him in the haze of nyquility.
For that matter. I am pretty much going to end this nonsense 'on accout of the fact' that I'm seeing 2 of you. 15 points to the 1st person who can name that movie. Or tv show. I know it came from somewhere. Okay. 30 points on account of the fact that I can't remember where it came from.
Edited to add: Could'a swore I hit post last night.
Amish neighbors are awesome. They bring super yummy baked goods and fresh veggies...because that is the neighborly thing to do ;0)
Wow, I hope you feel better soon before you have to move on to some hard core medicine like codeine. Get as much rest as you can girlie. So I like the idea of living among the peaceful Amish while still enjoying our lovely modern conveniences. And let me just say thank you. Now I've got that quote in my mind and I can almost see it from wherever it's from, it's on the tip of my tongue er brain. I'm sure its one of those things that I will remember when I wake up randomly at two in the morning or while taking a shower or something else that has nothing to do with any of it. I'll come back & let you know what it is if I think of it. I already tried to do a search on it with no luck.
Tombstone. It's in Tombstone, at the end, where Doc...Val Kelmer....is told that he's probably seeing double..."I have two guns....One for each of ya." I LOVE that movie...but it was one of the ones that Will and I were convicted to get rid of because of the carnality of its nature. However, we have practically the whole things memorized, and use the lines quite often. "I'm yer Huckleberry."
Catch ya later girlie.
I grew up in Amish Country~Lancaster, PA. I wanted to become Amish at one time (no lie) but my husband thought I was crazy. If you want a good read try Beverly Lewis book series. She writes about the Amish plus it's very engaging! Hope you feel better soon :)
This post made me feel like I've been chugging a bunch of Nyquil myself.
wow you sounds pretty funny inside-out. Hope you are feeling better now.
Rest? What's that? I need a definition Rebecca. lol.
You're welcome, by the way. Anything I can do to bring sunshine (or lame movie lines) to brighten up your life.I was thinking Leave it to Beaver. Shows how much I know.
SO GO GO GO! 30 points to Charity. You are DA BOMB.
You crack me up! And I just love ya girlie!
I did mention that the points don't actually GO towards anything right?
LittleMissy~ I LOVE having people bring me yummy baked goods & fresh vegetables. Not that anyone ever actually HAS...but I would SO make a good Amish neighbor ;)
Tegdirb92~ Thank you. I will definently check out that series soon.
FTN~ I'm going to take that as a compliment;) That means that I am SO engaging that I can draw my readers right into my little drug~filled mind.
Aaaand if it wasn't a compliment then I'm still going to pretend it was because...
that's just what I want to do dang it!
& Thank you very much Lyndon Maxwell :)
