All the Other Aunta Lesha's Out There Better Look Out!!

So Thursday Night I show up at Bunco and in Jamie's entry way there is a rather large pile of pink travel bags. You see Tessa was coming over to Auntie's house for a sleep over. So after Bunco we lug ourselves to the car and get strapped in for the drive. When we left Jamie's driveway Tessa says,"Know what Aunta Lesha? You're the coolest Aunta Lesha ever!" Yeah I thought that was pretty cool!
Well, we made it to the corner, before a large bowl of water that Jennifer assured me wouldn't spill, spelt. So back to Jamie's house we go! After using half a roll of paper towels we are back on the road. This time when we pull out of Jamie's driveway Tessa exclaims," Hey! I forgot to say goodbye to Emily!" "Oh, Tessa she is already in bed" I say. So Tesssa whispers," Goodnight Emily." Then she whispered a bunch of stuff I couldn't hear. But then she goes, with a big sign! "I miss her!"
The drive home was good, I never had to turn my radio on! And Tessa decided that when we see Unle Neil we should yell SURPRISE!
When we got home we got our bath (because Emily and Tessa tried to tickle some fish eatlier in the eveing and got all wet with fishy water). We got all settled in for a movie when we heard Uncle Neil pull in. Out go the lights and we hide! Neil opens the door and out pop Tessa and I. Neil looked a little shocked and says with a big smile on his face," I forgot she was going to be here!"
After that the night was pretty calm. Neil got worn out just listening to Tessa talk. It was so adorable!

And in the morning we had cookies for breakfast! And sang Christmas songs all the way back into town. Thanks for coming over Tessa! I had a great time.

The Guy's Rules

Please note: these are all #1 on purpose!

1. Men are not mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like a full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is not a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
1. All men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched!
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say nothing, we will act like nothing is wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine . . . Really.
1. Don't ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf!
1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one. Subtle hints do not work, strong hints don't work, obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and viod after 7 days.
1. If you won't dress like Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If something we said can be interpreted 2 ways and one of the ways makes you sad and angry we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both.
1. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the coach tonight. But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.
