CocoNUT - New Addition....

[CocoNUT]

So...here's a WARNING for all you SUCKERS out there (Southern!*a*hem)

Soooo...this morning, after I had logged out...while I was finishing up my yarn plying and getting ready to awaken the beast...I look out the window into the field. Guess who'd gotten out of their pen? Snuggles and Baby! (I checked and I couldn't figure out how they got out...weird.) Gus...like a CHAMP...was watching them carefully since the goats were together on one side and the sheep were on the other side of the yard. She wasn't chasing Baby! YAY! Well...Gus caught sight of me in the window and everytime I'd wave, she'd wag. She's such a GOOD GIRL! The goats were all looking up and around but couldn't figure out what Gus was looking at. The sheep were scratching their heads too.

So DH and I are getting ready to run off to Lowes, then pick up Evil from her Slumber Party Extravaganza...and as SOON as we opened the basement door, the crying started! I'm not talking about Flora...our most vocal, PITA goat! Oh no no no! Snuggles was going nuts! She was just standing there...like a lost little lamb, screaming her head off! SERIOUSLY?! Everytime either I or DH were out there...she was attached at our hips. Baby was even pretty clingy! That bottle lamb is WORSE than the goats! It's hilarious. Those goats were really laying in to the sheep though...don't mess with THEIR hay! I was waiting for baby to lay into them...but nope...TRUE sheep. UNTIL the grain came out....then it was GAME ON for Baby! She was bulldozing those nasty goats out of the way! Even Snuggles was getting in on the action...until I guided her to the SHEEP grain!

But, as soon as I came inside and the grain was gone, there was Snuggles...right next tot he basement window...screaming her head off! I would pull the curtain aside...and there she and Baby were....with Snuggles just screaming away! (Baby sounds like a sheep whose been smoking for MANY years when she baaaaas!)

So be careful if you're considering having those adorable little snuggledy wuddudly babies in the house....

A sheep who has been smoking for too long.

 

[CocoNUT]

Oh Pearce...you should hear her! Sounds like those old, 90+ year old ladies who've been smoking ALL their lives!
Then we have Lyla - our least people-friendly Nubian (she doesn't like being touched...whatever), she sounds like she smokes too! I'd probably fall over if I ever caught those two behind the barn, sneaking in a quick smoke break after supper!

Be CAREFUL Bon...Santa might just HAVE to find you a pair of the elusive, rare, green grinch face fleecy pants! Hey wait a minute...St. Patty's day is coming up....I'll have to remember to spock out the wal mart next time we go! You'll have to tell me (PM) me your pants size...and I'll keep my eyes peeled!

Doubt you'd find grinch pants at St Patty's day!

St Patty's day is my birthday though!

 

[Bridgemoof]

Oh that's cute! Got to love those bottle babies. I can't wait to meet them. When am I going to meet them? Field trip for me

 

[CocoNUT]

Marlow...I'm thinking they still have those super DEEP-discounted xmas stuff still floating around....I'll just have to try and keep an eye out!
Wow...you've got TWO reasons to get snockered on St Patty's day then huh?!

Bridge...you can come out...just not as much to tour or look at out here! One yard, 4 goats, 2 sheep, and a large dog! Then the house is covered in cat and rabbit hair...! Pretty boring...but you're more than welcome! Oh...the chickens don't free range yet...need to 'trust' Gus with them! But kitty corner across the street, my neighbor lets his free range, one always crosses the street to scratch around on the shoulder! Crazy hen! Oh and you can be serenaded by Manni...our outdoor cat who has decided that life isn't always better OUTSIDE the house!

Oh and Bridge, just remember...I DO accept "house warming" presents...usually in the form of young, black and white lambs....or shetland sheep! (Seriously, we're "good" with the ones we got...don't need anymore at this point!)

Only problem with that is I very, very rarely drink, and then it is definitely never beer . Tried it once and it tastes like my dad always said it did, like horse p*ss!

I like to say I can't be pinched even if I don't wear green because it's my birthday!

 

[CocoNUT]

Not a beer fan myself Marlow! Can't stand the taste of it...but I'm more of a mixed drinks kinda girl...(I barely have one drink a year!) Try a pink panther....NICE. Amaretto, Vodka, pineapple juice and marichino cherry juice. YUM! VERY nice! I got the mixins for those from a neighbor about 4 or 5 years ago (small bottles)...and I still have about 3/4 of the bottles full...sitting in the fridge!

I always tell people I'm wearing green underwear...that normally shuts them up! Or...if I'm feeling REALLY obnoxious (like really don't like the people in my office or something like that...) I'll wear ORANGE on St Patty's day! Most people don't "get" what that is! (Protestants in Ireland wear orange on St Patty's day....)

There is no alcohol in my house (though I swear sometime I need a shot of something strong after a hard day dealing with the kids!) I will do mixed drinks, though they are pretty rare. Probably once a year maybe. Never been "slobbered" and never had the desire to be either. DH isn't a big drinking person so I just don't drink much myself either. DH had his drinking experiences before meeting me. I never really got the experience. But I was never into the party scene of college either.

ETA: May have to try that recipe, if I ever enter an ABC store that is!

 

[CocoNUT]

Like I said Marlow...some neighbors gave me the fixins...otherwise I wouldn't have um! (And that was from at least a year BEFORE she got preggers and went psychotic on me...so we're talking those bottles are 4 or 5 years old!)
I did my share of partying...but not stupid, plastered, wasted partying. No drunkentfests for me! Besides...I was always the one cleaning up, helping people, taking care of the wasted...so kinda spoilt the whole 'partying' thing for me! But when I was at my "peak" of performance...I could throw them back! I'm a totaly pansy now! You didn't miss much...honestly.

Now off to start another day....

Oh...and for those of you following in the bottle lamb (Snuggles) saga...she spent almost ALL evening last night (until at least 10 PM) screaming at the kitchen windows...in the rain! Hubby even went out to walk her back to the lighted barn....she followed him right back up to the house! I think she finally gave up after the house was dark for a while....she wasn't in the yard this morning! Good gravy!
