Sheesh

come·up·pance (kmpns)
n.
A punishment or retribution that one deserves

So I'm in Blind Bay for the weekend, visiting Barb.  We have a weekend of relaxation, movies, popcorn and general sloth-ish-ness planned.  We watch 'PS, I love you'.  Everyone I know who has seen this movie assured me that I would sob like a baby when I watched it.  I didn't.  Didn't even shed ONE tear.  Further evidence that I possess a cold little black heart. 

After the movie we decide to have a dip in Barb's new hot tub... the hot tub where I was entertained by Barb and her raccoons.  Lucky for me, there were no raccoons tonight.... there was, however... a noise.  A big noise.  Crashing in the forest.  The sound of something perhaps climbing a tree and breaking huge branches on it's way up.  Something that sounded easily as big as a bear. 

I screamed.  Barb laughed.  More crashing.  More screaming... more of Barb laughing.  I did what any sane person would do.  I stood up in the hot tub, shook my fist in the general direction of the forest-crashing and yelled "The power of Christ compels you!!!!"  At this point, Barb is howling... she can barely breathe, she is laughing so hard.  Ugly-face laughing.

Yeah.... I totally deserved that, didn't I?
Sheesh.

OMG, I was reading your blog while I was on the phone, and I was bawling with silent laughter. Oh, how I wish I'd been there to see you say that. I'm still laughing...

Carla, it's been 25 years but it doesn't surprise me that you still understand my sense of humour!
