kc_shumate: HOWDY

Tammie Trainham: heyyyy

kc_shumate: what are you up to

Tammie Trainham: whut r you doin? i'm finishing up on payroll

kc_shumate: im just checking emails.

Tammie Trainham: did i tell you about the surprise that boots brought in thru the front door yesterday?

kc_shumate: no

Tammie Trainham: just a sec
Tammie Trainham: ok i'm back
Tammie Trainham: well, ya see i was on the pot and the front door was wide open
Tammie Trainham: and you know how our top screen is out right?

kc_shumate: yeah

Tammie Trainham: anyway i mention the being on the toilet part so that you realize that there is absolutely nothing i can do about boots waltzing up to the door with a gopher

kc_shumate: your joking

Tammie Trainham: sooo you guessed it....no i'm not joking....he hopped on the door and thru the top opening fast as you please
Tammie Trainham: the gopher is still alive mind you
Tammie Trainham: i'm screaming and kent is running
Tammie Trainham: i can't just stop mid-poop, soooo
Tammie Trainham: all i can 'hear' is claws scratching on the linoleum and kent grunting...not like me of course, but you catch my drift
Tammie Trainham: you still there?

kc_shumate: yea im here

Tammie Trainham: are you ok?
Tammie Trainham: i promise i'm not making this up

kc_shumate: yess just laughing

Tammie Trainham: ok well do you wanna hear the rest?

kc_shumate: i believe you its funny

Tammie Trainham: or read the rest?

kc_shumate: yea

Tammie Trainham: the phone rang and kent answered it in the middle of the whole thing...

kc_shumate: how did boots get a live gopher

Tammie Trainham: who knows....anyway

Tammie Trainham: i was still indisposed and kent is on the phone and boots let the thing go to play with it
Tammie Trainham: it takes off towards kent back towards the living room
Tammie Trainham: and kent tries to kick it across the kitchen...
Tammie Trainham: but it's massive claws stick to his sock
Tammie Trainham: kent shakes it lose and it goes flying all the way to his bathroom door
Tammie Trainham: all i can hear is him hollerin'
Tammie Trainham: then boots grasps the rodent all over again
Tammie Trainham: and kent drags boots by the tail out the back door~gopher and all

kc_shumate: it sounds like yall had a heck of a day lol

Tammie Trainham: i finally get finished with my business and find that i've missed the whole thing and by then dawg has the gopher and is playing around with it in the backyard

kc_shumate: thats just too funny. the funny thing is i can see it happening in my mind lol

Tammie Trainham: "heck of a day at sea, sir" (quote from the movie Overboard)
Tammie Trainham: are you still sure you can't have a cat?

kc_shumate: im sure

Tammie Trainham: you may need to spice up your life with a cat and a busted screen door...you never know what will happen next

kc_shumate: lol thats too much spice for me lol

Tammie, you're either hallucinating from high fever or....you're trying your hand at writing hilarious fiction!! It's difficult to believe a word of this.

Now! Tell me girl, is this truth or fiction?

Tammie said...

BAHAHAHHAAAA! I only wish it was fiction, Mrs. J! This is an actual IM conversation that I had with one of my friend/neighbor/dog/kitty sitter this morning...I just copied and pasted away. I know I could have made it a bit more satiable for the palette, but that's me, the real me. My life should be on a reality TV!

I'm feeling better by the way~

Jackie said...

Well....I've always heard that truth is stranger than fiction!! You are sooooo funny!

Glad you're feeling better...but Ms. Barb and I prayed that God HEAL you completely!! Maybe He has a little more work to do.
