On Thursday I will make sure I have fresh batteries for my camera, fill the car up with gas, check the air in the tires, clean the windshield and set off on the long, arduous journey to my aunt and uncle's house.  It's approximately 982.5 miles 27.9 miles to their house in Yellville, Arkansas.  Brutal drive!  My sister and her husband have been spending the week in a cabin out in the woods and I will meet them in Yellville for lunch with the family.  I'll be my grandmother, aunt, uncle, sister, brother in a law and me. Oh and THREE DOGS AND TWO CATS! 

I'm more than a little concerned about the animals. I'm pretty allergic to cats.  Especially cats that get to go outside and run around in the all weeds and shit and then carry all the stuff I'm allergic to back inside.  So, I might be mainlining a combination of DayQuil, Benadryl and a few other allergy meds.  The best thing about that is that I will come home and blog about the trip while hopped up on those meds.  Cause that's what we bloggers do, right? 

But first I have to survive our show prep session with Matt-Man.  That dude is relentless!  No breaks, no refreshments or any of those luxuries.  We start prepping and we don't stop until we're damn sure we're ready to do the show.  And no laughing either!  This is NOT a joking matter folks.  Show prep is serious business.

Oh that reminds me.  We have yet another show promo for ya.  This time Sarah Palin was sweet enough to help out... 



Anyway, after having lunch with the family, my sister, brother in law and their two dogs Cosette and Lucy will be coming to Redneckville for a couple of days before heading back home to Nebraska.  THEN, on Friday the 19th mom and I, along with a friend will be going to Omaha to spend Thanksgiving with them! 

That's right, I'll be driving for 7 to 8 hours through the Missouri and Iowa wilderness to get to Omaha and then do "I'm With Stupid" that night on location in my sister's basement.  Why? Dedication, that's why.  Dedication and commitment to excellence.  That's what we're all about.

So that's what's up around these parts.  I know you were wondering.  Not nearly as exciting as say, being on board a cruise ship that has lost all power.  I bet those people are having a good time.  What an emotional roller-coaster they've been on!  I mean, at first the ship catches fire and then they lose all power and they're all like "OMG! We're all gonna die.  The ship is going to sink and we're going to drown and be shark dinner!"  Then the Coast Guard shows up and they're like "We're saved!" Then they're told that the Cost Guard is towing them to Mexico and they're like "We're all gonna die when we get caught in the cross-fire between drug cartels and the Federales!"  Those poor people

Well, maybe Miss Universe Ximena Navarrete will be there to greet them?



That would be pretty nice.
