I want to run away.

[BarenakedLady]

All I asked for my birthday was the house to get cleaned because my family is coming today to visit. I gave a full weeks notice that this was ALL I WANTED. Now I've got roughly four hours to get this place presentable. With a sick kid and homework due tomorrow as well. FUCK!

So hypothetically (of course) if I ran away, where should I go? The more outrageous the better. I'll be back after I wade through the carpet of fur in the livingroom.

[Guava Jelly]

1. Missouri :o)

I'm sorry BNL :hug:
If I lived closer I'd help you clean.

[BarenakedLady]

9. Thanks, you

I wish you lived closer.

:hug:

The oldest is helping at least.

[KitchenWitch]

2. Join the Circus...

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

10. I can't juggle

I'd have to come up with a good act. Nekkid jousting?

:hug:

[graywarrior]

3. You can run, but you can't hide.

:rofl:

[DarkTirade]

6. Dr. Jekyll managed.

:shrug:

[BarenakedLady]

11. Sure I can

Hmmmm, the Runaway Mommy?


I need a scary pic of me that can be plastered all over the TeeVee...

[DarkTirade]

4. Circus.

That's where all the cool kids run away to.

[BarenakedLady]

12. But I'm not a cool kid...

I'd have to find a geek circus.

:cry:

[DarkTirade]

29. Geek was actually originally a term for a particular kind of circus freak. :)

[BarenakedLady]

30. Well now I know my talent

:)

[DarkTirade]

67. ... did I mention that that particular kind of circus freak

was the freak that bites the heads off live chickens? :P

5. It's a long fucking trip, but Maldives

Just found out about this place today

13. Lordy

*right click* *save as background*

Thank you. Now I can dream.

*sigh*

[MorningGlow]

7. You're welcome to take a trip up 5&20 to Caledonia

But I should warn you that the minute you walked into my house, I'd make you help me clean the cat hair!
:rofl:

Happy birthday, BTW! :party: :toast: :hi:

[BarenakedLady]

14. I've got cat hair/dog hair/my hair!

The dustbunnies are the size of my kids' heads!

I'll be right over btw! ;)

Thanks!

:hi:

[MorningGlow]

25. Yep, that sounds about right!

Same here--with three feline shedders and three human longhairs, it's a wonder we can find the floors at all.

Door's open! As is the bar up the street, I think...! ;)

[av8rdave]

8. I'm running away tomorrow....

Need the break!

[BarenakedLady]

16. Ooooo Take me with...

Pweeeeeze.

:cry:






Enjoy your break. :)

[av8rdave]

17. I have to go to south Atlanta

trust me, getting stuck with an unfair cleaning job will be more pleasant. Vancouver on Friday, however, is another story...

[Inchworm]

15. I tried to get moved in once

under the guise of nanny.

Hmm..

I'm not so sure I could do "live in maid." I could be a live in massuse though. You know, rub you down on your breaks. If you are interested call me at Mayberry BR549.

I also have room for like 6 more people in this farm house if you want to run. Of course then you'd have to be doin the massusing. The schools here suck so if you can pick up a live in teacher on the way down that would be great.

Like GoP said.. if I lived closer I'd come help. I could at least be comic relief.

Sorry BNL :(

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

18. Thanks Inchy

I know you would help if you could.

My oldest is chipping in. I think she can tell Mommy is about to break.

A farm house, eh? In the mountains? Far, far away from here? Gawd, don't tempt me!!

:hug:

[Inchworm]

20. Thats good you go a little help

conscript the others to play in the sink "washing" dishes, or race around the living room with vacumns. :P

Good luck. Also have fun when your family arrives... break out the wine! hehe

I'm so bad.

:D

[BarenakedLady]

23. I've got no wine.

:cry: and my Dad is in recovery. My son is on the couch with a fever/sore throat. His birthday is tomorrow too. Gah, poor kid.

I'll just have to take a trip down to the farm house. :P

[Inchworm]

26. Bring a shovel

I've not been upstairs in a few years lol

My daughter's old room prolly still has the clothes I washed 100x but she never wore on the floor.

Well, dern.. here I wanted to run away and now I gotta wait for you! I'm sure it will be worth it.

Should I get wine? Have any other needs?

:hug:

[AlCzervik]

19. we have a nice guest room, you'd have a share a bathroom with my daughter but

she's pretty tidy and we're only 100 miles away from san francisco.

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

21. Sounds lovely

I bet it is beautiful there too. I'm sick of the snow.

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

22. well it's rainy season right now but....it's still better than the snow.

i lived in the northeast for 30 years and no way could i ever handle another winter there, i admit it, i've gone mushy.

[Haole Girl]

24. Just get in your car and drive....

You might want to take an atlas, credit card, and some cash. Oh, be sure to check the oil and tire pressure on the way out of town.

I ran away last week....believe it or not. Turned around the next day and came home of course! lol Many hugs for you... :hug: :hug: :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

31. Thanks

I think I'd have to take out enough cash to cover me for awhile. Credit cards are traceable. ;)

:hug:

[mondo joe]

27. When I start to fantasize about running away I re-read Earthly Possessions by Anne Tyler.

Maybe that's my way of running away without really leaving.

[BarenakedLady]

33. Reading is a good escape

I haven't done that in awhile. Once things calm down, I'll probably go hide in a book.

[mondo joe]

37. Earthly Posessions is about a womanabout to run away who is taken

hostage by a bank robber before she can leave on her own. It's not as serious as that sounds, but it's all about running away, so I get to live it out without doing it.

Happy Birthday. :-)

[BarenakedLady]

38. Sounds interesting

I'll have to look into it. :)

[Fire Walk With Me]

28. It's your birthday? Happy Birthday!

[BarenakedLady]

34. It was Sunday.

But thanks.

[Fire Walk With Me]

36. I must have been out. Sorry for the late well-wishing!

[Bake]

32. Island in the Caribbean?

Palm trees, ocean breeze, sun, sand ...

Bake

[BarenakedLady]

35. Sounds devine

I've certainly had enough of the snow.

I keep taking cleaning breaks to just stare at the picture DS1 posted. A girl can dream!

[theredpen]

39. Risa, the Star Trek vacation planet

If you're gonna run away, you might as well go the whole 90 light years.

[BarenakedLady]

40. Is that

The place where they are all young and beautiful and have lots of sex? :D

[theredpen]

42. It is (nt)

[BarenakedLady]

44. I'm a total geek for knowing that,

aren't I.

:blush:





:rofl:

[theredpen]

53. You are

B-)

[flvegan]

41. Tampa, Florida.

Oh, you knew that was coming.

[BarenakedLady]

43. That wouldn't be all that did

Ba dum dum ching






Just playing along.

[crim son]

45. Beautiful downtown Bangor, Maine!

Wear a sweater. :D

[BarenakedLady]

46. Awesome!

I'll be right there!

:woohoo:

[crim son]

47. Can you bring some

100% organic meat?

[BarenakedLady]

49. Hehe

Yup.

:rofl:

[Tektonik]

48. Go join a cult

Which ever one makes you shave your head and sacrifice your first born is the right choice for you.

[BarenakedLady]

50. But she's the only one helping me!

:rofl:

[Mezzo]

51. I was trying to have a productive day myself.

with a bathroom closet that needs to be cleaned out so badly I can't stand it. I begin to waddle through some laundry, and my mother calls. It seems my brother took "Michael Clayton" over to her house, and her dvd player is on the fritz.

So I threw on a pot of meatballs, cooked a pound of spaghetti and watched George Clooney instead.

Now by the time I get done cleaning the kitchen from the impromptu mess I made, the bathroom closet didn't even get opened.

UUUUGH!

[BarenakedLady]

52. Being productive is overrated

I find.

:thumbsup:

[Parche]

54. Lets Go To Hawaii

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

55. Ok.

You twisted my arm.

:D

[BuelahWitch]

56. Please put some clothes on first

A feather boa is NOT enought to keep you warm in this weather! :hi:

[BarenakedLady]

57. Well that depends on my destination really.

:D

[SOteric]

58. I understand it's fairly quiet at either polar ice cap.

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

60. As alluring as that sounds...

:hi:

[harmonicon]

59. Guyana

[BarenakedLady]

62. Hmmmm

Warm.

[TZ]

64. I actually could hook you up with that

My best friend is a naturalized US citizen from Guyana. Except her Dad owns a large chicken farm..How does the sound of 30,000 clucking chickens sound?:D

[BarenakedLady]

65. Noisy.

:D

I don't think a vegetarian on a chicken farm would be a good idea. I may try to liberate them. :P

[miss_american_pie]

61. HERE!

And we'll both go to Tahiti. :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

63. YES!!!

Let's go!

:hug:

[lightningandsnow]

66. Sesame Street!

[midnight armadillo]

68. Machu Picchu

I've always wanted to go.

[billyskank]
