If Random Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right


  • Yesterday sucked. 
  • There were many moments of frustration.
  • And one physical battle with the receipt-giving-thingie at the gas pump.
  • I should have apologized to the receipt-giving-thingie for my displaced anger.
  • Most of the suckiness had to do with getting our disgusting tax bill once again.
  • We thought it would be less disgusting this year. 
  • Apparently, this is my annual Taxes Infuriate Me blog post.
  • Sorry to be redundant.
  • I hate redundancy.
  • Redundancy is so redundant.
  • It's like saying the same thing over and over again.
  • Even though we all got it the first time.
  • I prefer dundancy much more than redundancy.
  • Because I like only saying things once.
  • Unless we're talking about my taxes.
  • In other news, my mom is headed into surgery right now to have her gall bladder removed.
  • Her gall bladder began a revolt on Saturday and petitioned to secede.
  • Gall bladders are very ambitious, politically speaking.
  • I'm glad she is having it out today, because she is coming with my dad to visit me next week.
  • Because my house is the best place to recover from gall bladder surgery.
  • My sister came to visit last year a few days after her gall bladder surgery last year.
  • (A little redundant joke for you in that last line.)
  • Apparently, she gave us a glowing review.
  • I told my mom that all of us here at the Bed & Breakfast & Gall Bladder Surgical Recovery Center are looking forward to serving her.
  • Because we are.
  • I think I might get some of that swanky, swirly vinyl lettering for my foyer walls that says, "No Gall Bladders Allowed" to make her feel more welcome.
  • Or maybe, "Families Are Forever, But Gall Bladders Are Not"
  • The reason I don't have any of that swanky, swirly vinyl lettering is that I just can't decide which message I want immortalized in my foyer.
  • Although, I've been leaning toward "Dear Burglars, All the jewelry is from Target" for quite some time.
  • Welcoming yet folksy, right?
  • Speaking of folksy, I have a very hard time pronouncing the word "foyer."
  • There are people who pronounce it "foi-yay."
  • I think those are the correct people.
  • Folksy people, like myself, say "foi-urrrrrrr" with an emphasis on the "urrrrrrrr."
  • I can't say "foi-yay" to save my life.
  • I don't have the pedigree to pronounce it that way.
  • In order to say "foi-yay," one must be related to a Rockefeller, own a private jet, or have at least three Persian cats that go by first and last names.
  • That's why it's all "foi-urrrrrr" around this house.
  • So to quickly recap this post: 
  • Taxes=Sucky
  • Redundancy=Redundant and repititious
  • Redundancy=Beating a dead horse to death
  • Mom=Sedated
  • Gall Bladders=Like Texas
  • Vinyl Lettering=Epitaphs for your house
  • Foyers=Social class distinction
  • Our session is over, see you tomorrow.

You are the queen of randomness! I love it. I don't think I am going to plan to visit anymore because I don't really want my gall blatter removed.

Miranda said...

Haha! I just love you, Tiffany. "Families Are Forever, But Gall Bladders Are Not"...I'm off to go cross stitch that onto a pillow for you.

Alyssa said...

just had a conversation with someone yesterday who kept saying "foi-yay" and it made me envision a much swankier scene than I think she was actually describing.

Becky said...

Now I'm getting nervous. Is my gall bladder going to fail me around the beginning of May? I sure hope not. But if it does, it sounds like I will be coming to the right place! Thanks for your random post! I love, love it!

Kim said...

I didn't know you owned a surgical recovery center! I would have come up for my post right sided salpingo-oophorectomy. Dang it!

Christy said...

You are so funny!

Is there a policy I can purchase to keep my gallbladder & still come visit you?

You should start a fund, it could help with the tax problem.

Hil said...

Thank you for making me laugh right out loud today... and I meant the real laugh out loud, not the LOL one.

Unknown said...

BEATING A DEAD HORSE TO DEATH!

dear god, is that a redundant something that's commonly said, or have i been living under a rock for all these years?

i love it. i second Hil's real-life laugh out loud.

Lisa said...

I lurk, lurk, lurk, but had to say this is my favorite post for a long time. And I'm right there with you on the taxes. Very sucky. :)

Annie said...

You had me at Vinyl lettering and jewelry from Target. You crack me up.

I say go big or go home with the lettering: Your mom will love the gallbladder lettering, or atleast your blog readers will. ;)

readplayrun said...

all i can say is....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! i laughed so hard my gall bladder now hurts.

Annie said...

Your vinyl sign could also say: "Home is where your gall bladder isn't."

But you know what else could be a welcoming yet folksy addition to your foyer? A stuffed raccoon. It could have its paw raised to greet visitors and it would scare off thieves.

That was a great post!

Mia said...

I love the vinyl lettering options. I think those would be hit sellers! You are hilarious. I would love to meet in real life some day, but only if I get to keep my gall bladder. I know it dosn't do much, but it's mine...

Shua said...

I'm debating whether this is my favorite post on the WBWG ever. So awesome. Thanks for a good laugh :)

tiburon said...

One day when I grow up I want to do random as good as you.

Omgirl said...

I laughed. And then I laughed some more. And then I laughed so hard I woke my husband up from his nap. He was mad. Until I read him your vinyl lettering ideas. And then he snickered, and giggled. And then he went back to bed.

The moral of this story is, stop being so funny or I will get caught on the computer again!

When you are pissed off, you are hilarious! Maybe anger brings out the best in you...I can't stop laughing!
