charlie showed up to build a handrail to help me up and down the steps. right before he got here, the sisters called and said they were ready to start the friends on wheels thing. they came with a big bag of frozen yogurts and big bunch of fun.
the sisters are not just a breath of fresh air, they're a tornado. i texted mitchell to say they'd be here when he got home and i accidentally spelled their name wrong...i wrote "the cannons will be here"...now i'm gonna keep that one, it's perfect...by the time mitchell got home from work, it was a downright party. just like how it used to be. spontaneous gatherings in our home...what a joy...
i asked them if my post about having friends come over to help me was too presumptuous. one cannon thought about this for a minute and said that there was only one thing that she would change. she said she wouldn't email anyone because if they didn't respond without an email, "eff em"...which, at that moment, was the funniest and most ridiculous thing to say about friends...that got us on a roll...a lot of lines like "if my friends don't know what i need and when i need it, eff em", "who the hell do they think they are"...i'm sure this will be lost in translation, but trust me, i got more endorphins from that then i've gotten from anything in a long time...we were all in hysterics.
another cannon told her two jokes: (i only have two myself, and i've been retelling them for a hundred years)
a guy goes to a therapist office. he has a pancake on the side of his face, a piece of bacon over his eye, and an egg near his ear. the therapist says, "why are you here?", the guy says, "i'm worried about my brother"...
i love that one, particularly for therapists...mitchell had to have it explained but once we broke it down, he got it.
2. a one hundred year old man and his 95 year old wife go to a divorce attorney. the guy asks, "why now, after all this time do you want a divorce? they answered, "we wanted to wait until the kids died"...
and while we're at it, i just heard this one the other day...george burns finishes a show and goes to his hotel room. a woman shows up at the door and says, "how bout some super sex"...george says, "i'll take the soup"...
and that's that for now... the day didn't start out well, but it sure ended up good...hooray for friends on wheels...
