TWOTON GREEN BLOG... a twist on the way I would say my name as a small child, TwoTon Green Book. This, however, is a blog and not a book.

Wedding Dance
Don't have any liquids around when watching this - or at least try to deflect the spew away from your monitor.

You Never CanTell
Music by Chuck Berry - You Never Can Tell (C'est La Vie). The utube page did not have any info on the video.
4 days and counting until the wedding! Baby girl safely arrived at 4:35am, brought in her suitcase (after being smothered with motherly hugs), and rolled into her bed. 12 hours on the road with her mom and dad driving her nuts with alternating calls to her with the ever present parental query - where are you now = payback for all those are we there yets asked when she was a little girl.

Hot and Cranky
I had a stupid lying real estate agent call me at 8:14 this morning - bitch claimed that there is nowhere in the listing that said I work nights - is how I know she is a lying bitch because I've seen the dayam listing and it is right up top of the MLS listing.
She set an appt for 11am... she finally called at 12:30 and said they will be here by 1pm.
They drove in and drove out 5 minutes later. 5 minutes! Sure was not worth getting only 2 hours sleep for - that's for dayam sure.
Just to make the forking day perfect - its bloody hot and so is inside my house - having all the doors and windows open for a showing allows all the cool air inside to escape and be replaced by forking hot. It is now 12 forking degrees warmer inside my house than it was before I had to open all the doors and windows for the forking showing.
Grrrr.
Did I mention I was cranky and grumpy?
UPDATE: It is 3:33pm and 107 forking degrees and the hottest part of the afternoon is still to come. Fork.

Hot Fun In The Summertime
Sly & The Family Stone - Hot Fun In The Summertime.
Ugh! 94 here today and expected to be over 100 tomorrow and Friday. Fork. It's still spring and not even summer yet. Oy!
Having another Open House Sunday afternoon - weather dood said it will be cooling off by then. I sure hope so. It is very obvious on those few days of the year when it hits 100 that the little cottage by the creek in the redwoods does not have A/C.

Boogie/Jambalaya
This musta been one hell of a show: Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Fats Domino with some live Boogie/Jambalaya . Check out the band - I think I see Paul Shaffer in this and Rod Wood on guitar - but then again, my eyes are old.
