As is usual around Casa Bob y Carlos I do the Christmas decorations.
One could say it’s because of Carlos’ eyesight, which could be true; or it
might be because he doesn’t enjoy it like I do, which is also somewhat
accurate; or you could say it’s because I become a demon at Christmas and
direct him where to put ornaments and such because one time he lined up three …
THREE … blue ornaments in a row; the paramedics took an hour to revive
me.
So Carlos says I am a combination of Martha
Stewart, Joan Crawford and Adolf Hitler when I decorate the tree so for these past
several years he disappears when the ornaments come out. But, he does his part; we have an artificial tree—we are
surrounded by pine trees and so I don’t want a dead one in my house—and he puts
it together before he disappears. This weekend we got the tree, the ornaments,
the decorations, lights, holiday bric-a-brac from the garage and I went back to
blog as Carlos assembled the tree. I was minding my own business when I heard him say:
“Hey Jon Stewart, the tree is ready!” Jon Stewart? Comedian? Political activist? Christmas? Then it hit me … Joan
Crawford sounds a little John Crawford with his accent and then he’d stirred in Martha Stewart.
John. Stewart.
Carlos, the gift that keeps on giving. |

Love the swearing in on banned books!
xoxo :-)
I like that swearing in, too!
Deletexoxo
First, Happy Holidays!! Second, I'll get over Jan 6th when they get over the War of Northern Aggression. Third, Rosita could be an internet star and earn you millions. Finally, with that chest, I'd remind myself that I'm married, like a mantra. Again, have a wonderful holiday season.
ReplyDeleteIf Rosita could make me millions I might be able tom put up with The Face!
DeleteHappy Holidays!
We love you Carlos aka Mrs. Malaprop. Oh, Alexandre!
ReplyDeleteEverybody loves Carlos!
DeleteAnd Alexandre, too!
Oh Rosita! Has anyone ever told you that you are STUNNING? It can only be because they're all lost for words.
ReplyDeleteShe's pretty fond of herself, too!
DeleteI don't decorate. Pennsylvania is also the home of John Fetterman, who did an outstanding job using a cameo from Santos to troll Bob Menendez. One of the most telling parts about the Ziegler threesome is that the 3rd party cancelled when Bridget cancelled because, as she has admitted, Bridget was the one she was interested in, not the husband.
ReplyDeleteWe have people over throughout the holiday season for drinks and such and we like coming home to a decorated house ourselves.
DeleteThis had me LOLing "...THREE … blue ornaments in a row; the paramedics took an hour to revive me." You are such a a diva!!!
ReplyDeleteRosita has that "are you talking about me?" look! I think she is watching your clock!
Rosita might very well be watching my clock; she's a Demon, though a Delightful one.
DeleteCeiling fan, LOL! Swearing an oath on a stack of banned books, brilliant! Rosita looks like you'd better sleep with one eye open.
ReplyDeleteRosita does have a habit of attacking your feet while you sleep. The moving of legs and/or hands beneath a blanket will not be tolerated!
DeleteCarlos and you are quite the pair! I do admit I'm a bit like you when it comes to decorating the tree. Even though I do the ornaments myself, I tend to move them around at least a few times before I'm satisfied with the placement.
ReplyDeleteThe ceiling fan is hilarious! Good on Karen Smith, would that there would be others who have the courage of their beliefs to do this too.
As for Rosita, she has the "stern mom" look! What a cutie.
Luckily Carlos and I have figured our spots in the decoration game and we do it all quite nicely!
DeleteRosita does look like I'm about to get a good talking to!
I absolutely love that picture of Rosita!!! She is regal!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes Central Bucks where I used to live. Even when Republicans got in office there they're extremely Liberal Republicans. Hence why the rest of the Republicans in Pennsylvania couldn't stand the Republicans in Bucks County. I actually think I might have met Karen a couple of times through my ex.
I can't wait to see if you feature your tree Jon Stewart!
Regal? Arrogant. Haughty. Naughty. Diva. Rosita.
DeleteI'd like Jon Stewart to come help with my tree.
Hahaha Oh poor Kevin. He's such a tool.
ReplyDeleteAnd I need Alexandre to tutor me in Italian and tall glasses of water.
I cackled with the Carlos story. He's crafty, that one.
XOXO
Kevin AKA Jerkules is a tool
DeleteYes to Alexandre's tutelage ... which is French for, well, whatever you want it to be!
Carlos has his jobs and his ways and we let him do them.
xoxo
"THREE … blue ornaments in a row; the paramedics took an hour to revive me" ROFLMAO!!!! ln my early teens, I told a deliberate lie that haunts me to this day. So, I don't think my lie clock has moved since then, because I can't handle the guilt. Instead of lying, I just play stupid ... "I don't know nuthin about nuthin". But great joke about Thing 45's clock.
ReplyDeleteThat blue ornament thing actually happened though, MAYBE, paramedics weren't actually called.
DeleteThat's OK because it makes a great story! Hilarious, in fact!! 🔵🔵🔵 Call 911 😧
DeleteSO glad Bridget Ziegler is finally getting called out for her ridiculous hypocrisy. If she'd just minded her own business no one would care what she does in the bedroom.
ReplyDeleteHel-LO, Alexandre!
Yes, goodbye to Ziegler and Hellooooo to Alexandre.
DeleteSo in New Hampshire a woman would have to have an abortion every time she has sex, just in case? 15 days is a little early to discover if the foetus has major abnormalities.
ReplyDeleteIt's lunacy.
DeleteTuxedo and Consuelo... and Rosita, impossible to not love. Carlos DITTO in spades. And you could have switched his name out and replaced it with SG's! Alexandre Faucon: Text me!
ReplyDeleteAlexandre seems, um, fun?
DeleteRosita is quite lovable in a Resting Bitch Face kind of way!
I must say Bob errr John Stewart that I loved this week's tale of Carlos. The GOP is so crazy about these abortion timelines. It is like some sort of sadistic game in which they are trying to see who can get the fewest days. That Xwitter post was excellent. Kevin Sorbo is such a turd.
ReplyDeleteSorbo is just an idiot, but hasn't realized it yet ... just like most in the GOP.
DeleteCarlos and I at Christmas time is always a hoot!
Hi Jon Stewart! LOL! Carlos cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteThese Conservative Christian do aaaallllll the naughty stuff, don't they? No wonder they see sex and perversion everywhere they look.
You're spot on about these so-called Christians!
DeleteI am a little late today...Love Carlos...He is the blog's mascot second to Tuxedo...When I first read about the swearing in on a stack of banned/challenged books a smile came to my face...I love well placed shade...Rosita is like me...No matter how hard I try to smile when being political at work my continence says resting bitch face...I used to tell my staff that I didn't say anything but they checked me and said my face says it all...Alexandre, Alexandre...About damn time we got some fur up in here...If I was 20 years younger I would make a fool of myself...Just stunning....Snap on Sorbo...There goes that shade again...
ReplyDeleteI love a good stack of books to awear [in] on.
DeleteRosita is a demon, but a sweet one, if that's a thang!
Richard Branson is quoted as saying, " the fastest way to become a millionaire, is take a billion dollars and start an airline." A $1.98 might be a steep price.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be a long way to go.
