First, thank you for all the emails checking to see if I still have a pulse.
I do...and, as April says, a pulse means my mouth still runs...which, depending on who you talk to is either a blessing or a curse...
Aunt Jody, I owe you a return phone call and Mom told me you called her re: my unintentional blogging hiatus. Gonna try and hit you up today. (By the by...I hope you noticed my own mother didn't even know I haven't been blogging...Whenever I ask if she's been keeping up with the site, she'll tell me "Oh, honey, I've been really busy working and playing golf, but now that I have my sparkly Iphone, I try to catch up whenever your father drives us somewhere. Well, I catch up in between telling him how to drive...").
Mhm.
Apes and I took a quick, four-day trip last week and totally unplugged from the world. We watched ten movies, read, played our new favorite game (Bananagrams) and actually RELAXED.
I feel I should tell you, before I go any further, I am the Bananagrams champ. Mostly because April can't spell and tries to get away with bullshit slang words. I'm too smart for that. Just ask me, I'll tell you.
We are in week five of our P90X workout and we have a love/hate relationship with Tony Horton. That being said, we are slowly seeing some changes and I no longer have the desire to eat pieces of cake as big as my head. That's saying something...
And last, but not least, Apes has graced us with another Aponex (for those of you who don't know, Aponex is April's own language, made up of all the common phrases she simply can NOT get right...)
Me: "WHAT are you talking about, Apes? That makes no sense!"
Apes: "It's not supposed to make sense, Heather! GAWD. I'm just tugging with you!"
Me: "Tugging with me? I can't even begin to figure out which phrase you've massacred."
Apes: "Maybe I haven't."
Me: "No, you have. I'm certain."
And she had.
She wasn't tugging with me.
She meant pulling my leg.
Help me.

I almost bought Bananagrams at the bookstore around Christmas. Now, I wish I had. Oh well, my birthday is next month and you have my address soooooo.........
Glad you and April had some R&R. We love you grrls!
I have never played Bananagrams..now I am interested. I am glad you guys were able to get away..that is always a good thing, and I am not "tugging at you" either. I am telling you a coffee table book of aponex is what the world needs. :)
Could it also be "yanking your chain?"
I have missed your blogs. Glad to see you are alive!
LOL wow, you know I have to feel for Apes on these. I will want to say something and it comes out totally wrong, so she has my sympathy. But they are so funny and I even laugh at myself.
Welcome back :P
Bananagrams is so fun! My Dad and I played it a lot last spring but it ended up turning into who can make the most expletive sentence out of all the letters! Was fun all the same though :)
Ah, good old Tony. I will be starting Power90 again, as I am in no shape to attempt P90x. Well done for going the distance.
Tugging with you. Tee hee.
Sinnerviewer: Oh, it's a definite must have. I see lots of BG games in our future...wanna know why? Looks like I might be spending a bit of time in Atlanta again through the end of October :) More to come!
Ang: I actually started that coffee table book - I need to pick it back up again, huh!
Jenny: Ah, yes, it could have been! I've missed blogging!
Dragon: Apes loves knowing she is not alone out there.... :)
aisling: Consider your version played! I'm gonna add it to our list of "naner-game options"!
Purest Green: Ah, yes, Tony. Apes and I were really in no shape to start P90X either....we probably should have started with Power 90 - but we eeked our way through and fall on our faces during push ups a whole lot less now...I curse at Tony a lot. A really lot.
I missed your blogs...I kept checking for a new one!
Now I want Bananagrams! Our new favorite is Scrabble Slam. I got it for my niece for Christmas but then had to run out and buy one for myself! :)
that explains... I kept checking daily to see if you blogged... kept wondering why not a squeek..
But glad to know you are still hollaring around and having so much fun with April!!!
