Day 57...The Lurch Parade!

Yes, it is true.
Houston held a parade today...
for Lurch and me!

No, I'm not kidding!

All the revelers were dressed in
their finest sequins and lame!

Why did they have a parade
in our honor?

They were celebrating that we
finally got to have a shower!

They carried banners that said:
MALISA WASHED HER HAIR!

It was marvelous!
There was ticker tape...
confetti...
glitter...
and mini bottles of shampoo
flying through the air!

Parade participants were
throwing bars of soap
from the floats!

Women were flashing their bare chests
and screaming:
THROW ME SOME DOVE, MISTER!

It was fantabulous!

Ah, yes...
it is so good to be home.

Don't forget that I am having
a celebratory giveaway.
The prize: a copy of
Flea Market Style.

Yep, all you have to do to enter
is leave the words
"GIMME THAT"
in your comment!

Lurch will be drawing names
from a urinal tomorrow at noon.
You heard me!
Nothing should surprise
you anymore!

After all,
how many people do you know
who have parades in their honor?

That must have been some parade! So glad you are both home and that Lurchy-baby is on the mend. Now, GIMME THAT magazine! I'll trade you for the urinal image stuck in my mind. :)

I already have the magazine - so don't enter me in your drawing - but I wanted to say welcome home!

They don't have Memorial Day parade as much as they used to - but my birthday falls at the end of May, and often falls on/very near Memorial Day. I used to think that the Memorial Day parades were all for my birthday.

I was crushed to learn it wasn't true.

Girl, you should of hollered. I think I still have a can of PSST from my hospital vacation last February! Isn't clean hair just the best for making it clear how little it takes to keep us happy?
Just make sure that bedpan is emptied before putting my name in...as in...GIMMEE THAT!!!

I'm so sorry that I hit you with the bar of dove... but I could smell you...

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! Girl - you are FANTASTIC!!!

Congrats to A Fanciful Life!!! I don't understand why your son made you take the tweezers out of the urinal though... seems to me it makes perfect sense. LOLOLOLOL

Okay... I'm going to wash my hair before you throw a shampoo bottle back at me. I'd be an easy target since I'm all tied up and stuff...
ROFLMAO!!! I swear - there's a lot of my posts that I just sit and wait to see what your response is...
