Nerds Gone Wild

Winnie: happy Friday!
Barbie: Hey....yes! Same to you!
Winnie: sure lol
Winnie: I think I like Thursdays better...I DON’T have to go to work
Barbie: lol
Barbie: Do you not like working at the new place?
Winnie: of course, but just when everyone else is getting off work for the weekend... I have to get ready to serve their drunken asses all night lol
Barbie: oh yeah.....that's not fun.
Winnie: hey, my mom and I are going to see Vagina monologues tomorrow night
Barbie: ya! You were saying.....you'll have to let me know what you think! I'm especially keen to know what your MOM thinks, lol
Winnie: she's more excited than me lol
Barbie: cool.
Barbie: I think it is good for older women to see how far we've come!
Winnie: will give you my report
Barbie: lol good
Winnie: although i wish you were seeing it too...you're better at remembering and reporting things like that
Winnie: my comment will be: OMG it was soooooooooo funny lol
Barbie: lol
Winnie: you know I’m right lol
Barbie: so what you are saying is that you need a nerd along with you. ha ha
Winnie: no I need you and your journalistic tendencies
Winnie: I am an Artist...not a writer lol
Barbie: lol....we think differently. You think and remember in emotions and I think and remember in words. I am a verbal learner.
Winnie: well i guess me reporting on a "one women monologue" is not a good idea lol
Winnie: i should be reporting on the Rembrant Exhibit
Barbie: lol.....but even then you will say "I don't remember the painting's name but boy it sure made me feel (fill in the blank)"
Winnie: ya I’m good at that
Barbie: lol, I know. I like it.
Barbie: I like having friends who think in different way. Gives me more perspective on the world.
Winnie: live vicariously through others ??
Barbie: in a way....I'm just a curious person and I'm always interested by how other people think.
Winnie: I like having a nerdy friend...she listens to me ;)
Winnie: she may think I’m a freak...but she still likes me
Barbie: lol....you are good for me....you push me to be more daring...you always have. Otherwise I would be a nun or a lab nerd somewhere.
Barbie: and what a waste of my hotness THAT would be...ha, ha!
Winnie: yesssssssssssss, just what I’ve been telling you for 25 years
Barbie: I know, I know. But it is my nature to be cautious and think things through....you are more of a "throw caution to the wind" kind of gal....we are made differently!
Winnie: but then again, you're playing hard to get has kind of paid off lol
Barbie: well lucky for me that's the way guys work, lol
Winnie: lol
Barbie: I wouldn't say I purposely play hard to get, I just AM hard to get. I usually try to put a lot of rational thought into a new relationship before I jump in. So that might appear as "hard to get"
Winnie: 30 years??????
Barbie: ...but I have also learned that relationships are not always something that you can "think" through...sometimes you have to go with your heart.
Winnie: well it's about time you figured it out
Winnie: how do you think one night stands happen????
Barbie: ya....definitely not a "one night stand" type of gal...
Barbie: I'd be like "hmmm.....let me think about this and make some charts and get back to you in a couple of weeks" lol
Winnie: ya, i see that worked for you
Barbie: ha, ha
Barbie: Good on paper doesn't necessarily mean good in real life...I guess I am learning that as I get older.
Winnie: go with your heat baby...
Barbie: I think you meant to say heart, but with you, you never know....hahahahaha!
Winnie: LOL..shit

Gold Cananda Gold!!

Winnie: good Friday morning
Barbie: fantastic Friday morning! Did you watch the game last night?
Winnie: of course lol
Barbie: Canadian women KICK ASS!!!!!
Winnie: we sure do ;)
Barbie: and apparently Russians are the poorest sports around!!
Winnie: poorest?
Barbie: After our men defeated Russia, the Russian president cancelled his trip to Vancouver for the closing ceremonies....LMAO!! Boooohooooooo
Winnie: LOL...sore losers
Barbie: ....and they are supposed to host the next winter Olympics??? Great example!!
Winnie: Canadians are being the best hosts ever! So proud!
Barbie: yes....I felt especially proud as the American Women were getting their silver medals yesterday...the whole (mostly Canadian) crowd cheered "USA- USA!!"...even though they are our toughest rivals, they still got silver and they are very worthy opponents! ...and I know there is no crying in hockey but I bawled like a baby as the Canadian women's hockey team were receiving their gold medals!
Barbie: Such fantastic athletes and they deserved it so much!!
Winnie: ya, i said the same thing when the Americans were getting their medals, Canada has class....it's too bad that someone has to lose to win silver. Wish there could be another way around that...
Barbie: yes....the Americans gave us our only true competition, and I am grateful for it.
Winnie: and what about Joannis's skate? Wow...what a strong woman and her Dad....oh boy! So awesome that he was there for her!
Barbie: Well, if you ever had any doubt as to if Canadian women are strong, determined individuals take a look at the medal count....the sisters are bringing home the bacon for our country!
Winnie: i think i might train for the next Olympics...
Winnie: not sure for what...lol
Winnie: I'm sure there is something i could kick ass at?
Barbie: I'm thinking bobsled. I would be the person at the back who just has to put her head down and be brave...ha
Barbie: but I have to say there are a lot of older women on our teams...maybe it isn't over for us yet...lol
Barbie: maybe if I start curling now???
Winnie: hey...good idea. And the curlers are getting hotter and hotter...so we may have a chance
Barbie: ya!! Curling it is!!
Winnie: Ok...we'll start next week ;)
Barbie: well next week I have a lot going on....how about the week after that?
Winnie: hmmmm....I may have to wash my hair
Barbie: gee....this Olympic stuff requires a lot of motivation...

She Bops...so Hot...Who knew?

Barbie: So billboard just came out with their "Top 50 Sexiest Songs of all time"
Barbie: http://www.billboard.com/#/news/sexy-songs-1-1004066338.story
Winnie: OK...I'm so so so sad
Winnie: ...the loss of innocence at it's best
Barbie: ??
Winnie: Cindy Lauper....She Bop?
Winnie: I feel like a fool ,lol
Barbie: Did you realize it was about ...um....getting yourself off?
Winnie: never
Winnie: ok....maybe I haven't heard it since 1987
Winnie: that might explain why
Barbie: I remember hearing that it was a controversial song but I never really understood why at 13...ha!
Barbie: Then again I never listened to the words!
Winnie: and even Prince...Raspberry Beret??
Winnie: holy.....
Barbie: I KNOW!!!! I loved that song! I had NO IDEA!!!
Barbie: Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer??
Barbie: I guess it never really occurred to me!?
Barbie: Makes sense..."I wanna be....your sledgehammer"...ha! ha!
Winnie: I'm shocked....guess I will have to go through that list and "listen" to all those songs again lol
Barbie: I'm surprised this song wasn't on it...
Barbie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PYqosH7Qrc
Barbie: I can't stand Mariah but I have to say that I have always liked that song...ha
Winnie: I don't think I've ever heard that song....what's with me?????
Barbie: WHAT THE???
Winnie: I KNOW
Barbie: It's the ultimate booty call song!! How could you have missed that? ha!
Barbie: this is a good one too...
Barbie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raB8z_tXq7A
Winnie: well, I think it's the video that's sexy, not so much the song
Barbie: no...the video is trashy, the song is sexy.
Barbie: Hmmm....this is an oldie but a goodie...
Barbie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tunvwCvu2NY
Winnie: THAT, I LOVE, lol
Winnie: gives some good ideas... ;)
Barbie: easy now.
Winnie: ya ya ya, you started
Barbie: I think this should have been number one. All time classic. No mixing words....just the straight up goods...ha
Barbie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bAekG9VwQc
Winnie: was it not on the list?
Barbie: it was...but not number one.
Winnie: oh ok
Barbie: I'm disappointed that this one wasn't on it....I love it.
Barbie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=292GKB5o46w
Barbie: I laughed when I saw "Pour Some Sugar On Me"....ha, ha...
Winnie: lol ya...I might have overdone that one in High School....
Barbie: that's not really sexy....more making out in the back seat of a car.
Winnie: but i have to say, I think this is my all time fav:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7NkYu6SaPo
Winnie: Love bites......
Barbie: oooooo.......I think we ALL have good memories around THAT one....ha, ha.
Winnie: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaa


We would like to wish our fans a sexy and very hot Valentine's Day!
xo

Manswers....Sshhhmanswers!!!

Winnie: how's it going?
Barbie: good! u?
Winnie: feel like crap
Barbie: oh no....your cold you mean?
Winnie: ya and just cranky today
Barbie: i hate those days
Winnie: so I "watched" this show last night, DaddyOhh was flipping channels and stopped on Spyke TV
Winnie: ...it's called Manswers, have you ever seen it?
Barbie: no?
Barbie: what is it about?
Winnie: It's an "information" show for men...about how to "get it on" with women and other crazy shit
Winnie: i was sooooooooo shocked...my mouth was wide open lol
Winnie: he was laughing at me and i said "we have to blog about this"
Winnie: http://www.spike.com/show/22792
Winnie: watch it..when you get a chance, i sent you the link and that is the episode that i watched, some of it anyways.
Barbie: ok...will do. And I want you to read the book I am reading....it will blow your mind. It is called "The Meaning of Wife"
Winnie: i've heard about it
Winnie: im almost done EAT PRAY LOVE
Barbie: what do you think?
Winnie: not bad
Winnie: some parts are inspiring
Barbie: the book that I am reading right now isn't a story. It is more of the history of being a wife. But it is sooooo interesting.
Winnie: ohhhhhhhhhh im sure it is lol
Barbie: I will never get married again. We have totally been taken for a ride.
Winnie: LMAO
Barbie: It is like getting all excited about getting put into prison. Asking guys to PLEASE lock me up?
Winnie: lol
Winnie: something like that
Barbie: ok....I'm watching this Manswers thing. wow! I feel sorry for guys who think they are actually learning something by watching this.
Winnie: LOL i know...that is what i was saying lol
Winnie: i cant believe they allow that on tv
Barbie: they aren't stupid. But the guys who watch it are!
Winnie: which part are you watching?
Barbie: What candy GUARANTEES you to get a mouthful of beaver taco.
Barbie: It is like a tv show saying "watch this tv show and you will get bigger boobs".
Barbie: Actually there is an equivalent for women....it is called COSMO.
Barbie: the magazine for stupid women who feel that their whole lives should revolve around pleasing men.
Winnie: its crazy
Barbie: I have to say.....I NEVER tried so desperately to get a guy as some of the girls do nowadays....and now the guys are doing it too....hilarious!
Winnie: i just keep seeing this overweight 19 year old dweeb sitting on his couch on a friday night with a bucket of KFC watching this and believing that if he puts a muffler on his 10 speed, it will turn on the cheerleaders
Barbie: lol!!!! exactly. People, people. Use your heads. There is no magic formula for getting the opposite sex. Some people like certain approaches, others not so much.
Winnie: ok..."chick boner"????? WTF?
Winnie: if you watch porn before you hit the clubs, the ladies will pick up on your sex sweat and fall for you? Holly cow!!!!!!!
Barbie: I think they are just telling guys what they want to hear.
Winnie: this is just wrong...wrong...wrong....
Barbie: They must think we are REALLY dumb.
Barbie: It's ok. Let them keep thinking that way. It gives us the upper hand.
Winnie: i think THEY think guys are really dumb
Winnie: it just cant be.....can it???????
Barbie: well let's be honest sweetie...the guys who believe this ARE really dumb.
Barbie: or 14 years old.

Learn from other's mistakes....

Winnie: so it's Friday!
Barbie: Thank ya JESUS!
Winnie: LOL...boy pretty excited
Barbie: tough week. But bring on the weekend!
Winnie: I don't have any plans so it not that big of a deal
Barbie: Oh trust me when I say that I have no exciting plans... but I am just looking forward to a change...at least I don't have to make lunches for two days. Ha
Winnie: well. There you go!! lol
Winnie: Guess I will rest up for next weekend. Can't wait!
Barbie: so next Sat. afternoon, we're exploring the big city...hopefully it won't be too cold!
Winnie: let's hope not...or we can sit and have coffee all afternoon lol
Winnie: and people watch, get some good blog material
Barbie: ha, ha....ya...we need some new material.
Winnie: no kidding
Winnie: so......I'm tattoo shopping
Barbie: what???
Winnie: yup, I've decided to do it....
Winnie: been putting it off for 20 years, I think it's about time
Barbie: let me guess....you are going to get "Keep it real" scrolled across your back...ha,ah
Winnie: it was a contender.....
Barbie: please don't say barbed wire around your arm....I will have to have you committed.
Winnie: It's and African symbol that means: Learn from the Past
Barbie: If I were you, I would really research it....make sure it doesn't mean "dumb ass white girl"
Winnie: it's a pretty one too....but who wants to look like Lindsay Lohan?
Barbie: is that what she has??
Barbie: Obviously it isn't working for her.
Winnie: LOL, I don't know, just trying to be funny, help me out here!!!
Barbie: sorry. ha
Barbie: I just don't want you to end up with say...a misspelled tattoo.....I'm not naming names or anything but I know someone who wanted to have Deuce written and now has Duce. oooopsie!! that was definitely worth a spellcheck.
Winnie: ya....that sucks
Winnie: note to self: ask where he got that done...so I don't go there!
Barbie: good plan!
Barbie: Also, I wouldn't recommend a tattoo parlour in the back of anything mobile....but that's just me.
Winnie: shit...guess i should ask for my deposit back eh?
Barbie: Well, you know what happened last time you gave money to Carnies....
Winnie: hey hey hey....that was suppose to be just between you and me!!!!!

Why???

Winnie: Hello my dear dear friend!
Barbie: Hello!!!!!
Winnie: is there a way of getting out of parenthood?
Barbie: If there was YOU KNOW someone would have found it by now!
Winnie: oh well, guess I need to tough it out lol
Barbie: what a freakin' week!!
Winnie: In feel your pain ;)
Winnie: What's going on today?
Barbie: hmmm....let's see....ex trouble and yesterday I found out a colleague has cancer and today another acquaintance. I just found out five minutes ago that my colleague died late last night.
Winnie: OH no.....so sorry hun
Barbie: don't be sorry for me....I am sorry for their families. It was too late by the time she found out I guess.
Barbie: Plus another friend of mine's father died this week.
Winnie: so horrible
Barbie: Well, we know that death is part of life, but it seems so unfair when someone is taken so young.
Winnie: guess it makes our problems seem so manageable
Barbie: I have a stress neck ache....wonder why? ha, ha
Winnie: one more sleep and you can get help with that !
Barbie: but you are right....these things put it all into perspective. As long as we are living, everything else will be settled.
Barbie: Yes, I am so looking forward to PC's visit. Will be good to have someone to cuddle with.
Winnie: not that it makes our problems less real...but sure does put things into perspective
Barbie: yes. absolutely.
Barbie: and the Haiti earthquake as well. I did my part and gave money to the cause (just so I don't get letters). But it also has served the purpose of showing us how lucky we are here.
Barbie: ....and how humans can pull together for a good cause.
Winnie: Humanity...it has it's strengths
Barbie: yes. It does.
Winnie: So does Friendship ;)
Winnie: it's a small version of humanity
Barbie: Even though I sometimes question it when I look at people like 23 year old Heidi Montag getting 10 plastic surgery procedures!!
Winnie: yes i saw that...poor girl needs some self esteem therapy
Barbie: um...ya think?
Barbie: she ruined her looks entirely
Winnie: although It's more like "how to start over when all you have left that you were born with is the blood flowing through your veins" therapy
Barbie: absolute insanity
Winnie: who's gonna take her seriously now?
Barbie: why can't we just accept ourselves as woman..."flaws" and all?
Winnie: because plastic surgeons would be out of business
Winnie: and some women can...the somewhat sane ones that is
Barbie: If women were smart, we would all band together and just say "this is it" if you don't like it, then no sex for you.
Winnie: then the plastic surgeons could all become marriage counselors lol
Barbie: hahahaha!

Wife Needed...(with no fringe benfits)

Winnie: Good Friday morning!!
Barbie: hi
Barbie: ....looks like it is going to be one of those mornings!!
Winnie: busy girl, what's going on?
Barbie: just to much to do and not enough time
Winnie: imagine if you had to be at work earlier?
Barbie: I know. All these things to do are cramping my style, ha, ha
Winnie: lol
Barbie: you know I was born to be a lady who lunches?
Winnie: guess that should be your next book lol
Barbie: just as soon as I get the 25 million I need to be a proper lady who lunches. ha
Winnie: oh and have to make sure your lady friends are as well equipped
Barbie: but of course my dear!
Barbie: what fun would it is lunching alone?
Winnie: EXACTLY
Winnie: but then again, you do have a small pooch to put in a designer bag and take along with you
Barbie: no, no....my personal assistant will be walking the dog while I lunch.
Winnie: ahhhhhhhhhhh, i see
Winnie: sounds promising
Barbie: well hey; a girl needs to have plan!
Winnie: and first on the list is a personal assistant?
Winnie: oh and don't forget your very own PR lady!!!!
Barbie: or maybe a maid of some kind.
Winnie: mmmmmmmmmm nice
Barbie: I still think I just need a wife.
Winnie: ya, but it's much harder to fire a wife
Barbie: she can cook for me, clean for me, do all the crappy stuff and I can work and come home
and play with the kids
Winnie: but then she wants half when you’re done with her!!! ;)
Winnie: it's cheaper to pay severance pay
Barbie: maybe I'll just hire a maid, nanny and personal assistant instead.
Winnie: sounds like a safer plan to me.....
Barbie: ya
Winnie: and this way you could still have a boyfriend on the side and no one to complain about it
Barbie: Now…THAT’S A PLAN!

Reasons to stay single in 2010

So, to start out 2010, we have decided to remind
ourselves why we love to be single.
Here are our top 25 reasons.


When you’re single...

social life in your 30s.
2-Nobody sees what you look like first thing in the morning.
3-You don’t have to worry about what the bathroom
smells like when you walk out of it.
4-You know where the bar of soap has been.
5-There’s no fight for remote control ownership.
6-You don't have to shave if you don’t want to.
7-You won’t have anyone saying 'you're not going to wear
that, are you? (that’s what friends are for)

from.

the jug whenever you like.

birthdays or Christmas.

17-Your opinion is always the best opinion.
18-You can enjoy great performances of gay musicians
and actors without getting that eye-rolling thingy....

calls asking for me, tell them I'm HERE baby!"

Happy New Year to all our fans and thank you for sticking with us in the last couple months. We have slacked…we know, but 2010 is OUR year!!! We’re back with a vengeance!

Have a very gay Christmas!

Winnie: hi hun
Barbie: hey there
Winnie: keeping busy?
Barbie: yep....you know us neurotic types....always keeping busy...even if only with imagined worries...
Winnie: lol...yesssssssssssssss i know
Barbie: I am actually less grinchy today.
Winnie: and that's a good thing?
Barbie: isn't it?
Winnie: but I WANT you to be grinchy along with me!!
Barbie: Well, I'm usually a happy girl....just not usually around Christmas....I have no idea why. I think I just don't like people telling me that I HAVE to be happy and have the best time of the year. Can't take the pressure.
Barbie: wanna see something funny?
Barbie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3354flS1KJs&feature=PlayList&p=4FDC8FC0E5BE901A&index=2&playnext=3&playnext_from=PL

Barbie: sadly, I miss the big hair of the 80s

Winnie: lol, oh my...that video is so lame
Barbie: I can tell the chick in the video right now what the problem was between them .....he's gay genius! ha!
Winnie: just like any other relationship....only if we knew then what we know now , lol
Barbie: did you ever love any gay guys?
Barbie: I think they tend to appeal to teenage girls a lot (along with Vampires now apparently)
Winnie: all of them......LOL
Barbie: ha, ha. Don't ALL teenage girls love gay boys ?( I still love my gay boys). They are like girlfriends, but you still get to hang around boys and they don't look at you like they want to eat you with a fork.
Winnie: was never close to any...they were too cool for me
Barbie: what? are you not aware that we used to hang out with some in high school???? (big clue, our mothers let them come to our sleepover parties)
Winnie: ya but they all liked you lol
Barbie: yes, it is true, I am a proud fag hag.
Winnie: yes yes yes
Winnie: see, I tend to attract the losers
Winnie: or bar rats....whatever
Winnie: all the guys that have no chance in hell
Barbie: I'm totally hetero but have a soft spot for gay people (Cindy Lauper eat your heart out)...I think it is the "going for the underdog" thing. Maybe it is because I am a creative type. Except fake lesbians….hate those. You know how I feel about them.
Winnie: Yes, the “hey look boys in the bar…I’m kissing another girl” type lesbians. Lesbians of convenience.
Winnie: Gay power and all that, but I have to say that most of the good straight ones are intimidated by me, lol, go figure
Barbie: well, it takes a big man not to be intimidated by a strong woman.
Winnie: lol yes
Winnie: I was just told the other day that I make guys nervous.
Barbie: Guys SHOULD be nervous around you. They have no idea what they are up against. Snort!
Barbie: Psst….I will tell you a little secret....I know right away how to tell if I guy has a big “you know what”...
Winnie: Do tell!
Barbie: If he laughs at my jokes.....big one.
Barbie: if he doesn't think I am funny, small one.
Winnie: good conclusion
Barbie: I have a feeling that if we post this I will suddenly become VERY funny to a lot of nervous guys.
Winnie: You and me both sista!

Fala la la la la lal......arrrggggggg!!!!

Winnie: hey chicki!
Barbie: hey chicka!
Winnie: sa va?
Barbie: yes....no complaints.
Winnie: I'm having one of those days...just a crazy crazy morning
Barbie: oh yeah? why?
Winnie: even the dog was hyper
Winnie: just stupid stuff...sick kid...was up all night and of course has a test at school today
Winnie: my father made all this noise in the shower ( i think he dropped ALL the shampoo bottles) woke everyone up
Winnie: my mom ran into the bathroom, thinking my dad had fell...started freaking out, she started crying
Winnie: the furnace stopped working (its new, was just installed last week) and my dad was checking it and decided to use a Rubbermaid bin as a step stool
Winnie: .....or course you can just image the sound he made when his foot came crashing through it. Not to worry, it was only full of dog food....that is now all over the basement floor.
Winnie: Oh and did i mention the dog was hyper???
Winnie: ....it just went on and on
Winnie: not enough coffee in the world today!
Barbie: LOL!! Christmas with the Griswold's!
Winnie: YUPPERS...
Winnie: oh...and the dog broke her rope and ran away
Barbie: she's gone???
Winnie: she came back....of course. She's a chicken. God forbid she spends more than 3 minutes away from me
Barbie: lol
Winnie: she might just climb on the counter, swoop all the paper and pens off and chew the crap out of a gel pen on the beige carpet
Winnie: ...cuz that would just be crazy
Winnie: am I ranting?????????
Barbie: lil bit....but I can understand. My family is coming next week so I'll be doing much of the same, I suspect. ha
Barbie: This morning my 5 year old told me he hated me and that I ruined his day....sigh.
Winnie: what did you do to that poor helpless child?
Barbie: he was scrapping with his sister on who got the middle seat in the van and it was her turn and he had a melt down and I didn't give in. So he got mad and threw his hallowe'en bucket at me and I did the whole "pick it up on the count of three or no Christmas specials for you tonight which further infuriated him"
Barbie: So he went and sat in his seat but let me know that he hated me just to get a little dig in....ah.....merry christmas.
Winnie: ohhhhhhhhhhh the jolly joys......
Barbie: "Tis the season to be stressed and cranky...falalalal"

Brrrrrrr...who's got the booze?

Winnie: good morning
Barbie: hey there
Winnie: the weekend is almost here ;)
Winnie: yeaaaaaaaa
Barbie: yeeha!!!!!
Winnie: so we both should have a blast?????
Barbie: I would think so....after the past week, I will say it is a safe bet that cocktails are on the agenda.
Winnie: lots and lots of cocktails lol
Winnie: my young son turns 19 this weekend....crazy...where did the time go?
Barbie: it goes so fast.
Winnie: the worse....he seams to have his life in check more than I do lol
Barbie: oh...it goes in cycles. Nobody has it together 100% of the time, lol
Winnie: thanks for making me feel better...
Winnie: how's your Christmas shopping coming?
Barbie: almost all done.
Barbie: the kids are the hardest and they are done
Winnie: wow, where did you find the time?
Barbie: I just made a list, took my tail to toys r us one day and got the whole dang thing done.
Winnie: i should have know you were so organized lol
Winnie: i've been out a couple times and walk away with nothing....frigggg
Barbie: I hate Christmas shopping so I make it as quick as possible....like a band aid, lol
Winnie: i usually like it, but this year i'm having a hard time deciding on anything
Barbie: well little kids are easy...older kids and men are hard...lol
Winnie: not having trouble with the older kids...they make it easy...CASH!!! IPOD and a LAPTOP...lol How easy is that?
Winnie: now all i have to do is win the lottery
Barbie: my kids said "surprises".....you don't get easier than that
Winnie: its the smaller kids i dont know
Barbie: then my little boy asked me last night if he could have a an hourglass timer lol
Winnie: interesting
Winnie: one year Skater boy asked for a Nutcracker, how could Santa resist
Barbie: OH MY GOSH!! my little guy asked for a nutcracker last year!!!!
Barbie: hey...check this out...
Barbie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x768VAsOQSw
Barbie: We Canadians ARE crazy...
Barbie: have you ever been ice fishing??
Winnie: LOL, crazy for sure...and NO WAY you'd ever catch me ice fishing....
Winnie: I get cold walking from my car to the mall
Barbie: The people at the kid's bus stop were laughing at me the other day cuz it was -7 and I had on my head to toe gear. I don't enjoy being cold!!
Barbie: I would never do ice fishing FOR FUN!?
Barbie: maybe instead of jail time but not on purpose for recreation!!
Winnie: CHEERS to that!!!!!!
Barbie: although I must say that I used to enjoy watching the stupid snowmobilers fall through the ice in the winter back in the Hole
Winnie: yes, was always entertaining to say the least lol
Winnie: who's got the hot apple cider and rum?
Barbie: see skating outdoors you can talk me into as long as you put Baileys in my hot chocolate
Winnie: if there's booze....you can coax me to almost anything ;)
Barbie: yes, I've heard.
Winnie: shhhhhhhhhhh, don't let the word get around!
Barbie: too late! LMAO!!

Tacky Santa

Barbie: hey there..
Winnie: hello
Barbie: how are you today?
Winnie: doing good, cant complain about anything except the rain coming lol
Barbie: it has been rainy and foggy here for days on end...I think it is starting to affect my already fragile sanity...ha, ha
Winnie: we haven't had rain yet, just been foggy for a week lol
Barbie: gross....I don't know how people in England and Vancouver live this way all the time!!
Barbie: Plus it is at the darkest time of the year.....yuck!
Winnie: they wear rose colored glasses and ponchos
Barbie: sounds like a blast....wtf?
Winnie: got to survive !!!1
Barbie: hey...you do what you can...lol
Winnie: did you take the kids to a xmas parade yet? oh wait..."Holiday Parade"?
Barbie: no...it was gross and raining....not my idea of a good time. Plus I am a Christmas Grinch in case you have forgotten. I do everything at Christmas for my kids...otherwise I would skip it all and go to the Bahamas.
Winnie: i like the decorations and parties, that's it lol
Winnie: now that my kids are grown, its just not the same anymore
Barbie: I like the nostalgia of it I guess and the food but I hate the consumerism for it's own sake and sorry, but women take the brunt of the work around Christmas.
Winnie: i agree....so much for holidays lol
Winnie: i think this year i would much rather be somewhere warm too....something to be grateful for lol
Barbie: ya....the holidays just tends to be something I "get through". It is really stressful.
Barbie: I used to like it as a kid when all you had to do was sit back and enjoy. It must also be enjoyable for men who for the most part get to do the same thing (besides buying the required gifts).
Barbie: Let's see....you have all the family to buy for, kids, stockings, friends (ps- you are not getting a present), teachers, blah, blah....decorations to put up, cookies to bake, meals to plan.....I could live without it frankly.
Winnie: i still enjoy those things, its just the financial stress that gets to me....and allot of others too. The spirit of the holidays is often lost because of that.
Barbie: I think I was born without the "cooking/scrapbooking" gene.
Winnie: i only like to bake during the holidays....i love the decorations and music, somehow it makes me feel good
Barbie: I like to do those things when I have time but when you work full time and have two young children, it is all so rushed and forced!!
Winnie: but then,the gift buying, running around and having to see people you've been avoiding all year....bummes me out lol
Barbie: ya...I hate gift buying. I would skip the gifts part altogether if I didn't have kids. That's why I like Thanksgiving....all the good food and friends, but minus the gifts, the over hype and the overboard decorations.
Winnie: maybe we should move to the middle east....never have to see a plastic lit up Santa and reindeer again
Barbie: ohhh....but if you think the women there don't tow the line for their celebrations you are delirious...lol
Winnie: but does it involve tacky decorations???????
Barbie: not nearly as tacky as ours.

A boring Blog

Winnie: hey...got your voice back?
Barbie: marginally..
Barbie: but now I have a fantastic cough to go with it.
Winnie: ohhh sucks
Barbie: I can't complain, it is the first time I have been sick all year. I so rarely get sick.
Winnie: still....no fun
Barbie: hopefully it will be done soon.
Winnie: rest ;)
Barbie: YA....OK. THAT'S funny!
Winnie: lol
Barbie: single mom. rest. hahahahahaha
Winnie: single mom? why I'm sure their father would be HAPPY to lend a hand lol
Barbie: for a price...lol
Barbie: isn't there always a price?
Winnie: always.....
Barbie: so...we have had complaints that our blog is boring lately...
Winnie: ya i know
Barbie: so I guess you should go ahead and take that pole dancing class so we have something entertaining to talk about.
Barbie: I'm very sorry that the drudgery of our lives just isn't cutter the muster...lol
Winnie: entertaining??? lots of entertaining stuff going already, just not sure if its blog worthy
Barbie: that's the thing.
Winnie: anyone care that my son ended up with a BAD tooth ache and a pulled groin muscle withing 24 hrs...and that now i have to drive an hour for an emergency dentist appt with a limping complaining teenager...????? I doubt it lol
Barbie: I know. Somehow if we had our own reality series people would say our lives are very dramatic but some things we can't write about...
Winnie: and that i searched frantically this morning for my purse and then had the horrible fear that i had left it in bf's car which is an hour away on a hoist at a garage?...
Winnie: i think not!!!!
Barbie: how about my very boring weekend...NOT!
Barbie: driving 5 hours to realize that I am sick. Then taking out PC with my cold as well....only to end up with two sickos (and not in a good way) laying around all weekend.
Winnie: here's something exciting.....i started my Christmas shopping LOL....
Winnie: this should get everyone talking!
Winnie: OH....and i lost a button on my new jeans!
Barbie: There you go. This is life and we write about our lives.
Barbie: Although I must say that there was a very interesting drunken man at the Hut on Friday.
Winnie: and i missed it...
Barbie: He sat there yelling to himself for an hour or two....we all made bets on when the doorman was going to kick him out.
Barbie: When he was finally asked to leave, he came over and made a dramatic plea to stay....unfortunately he was completely incomprehensible and so we all just burst out laughing and gave him a round of applause.
Winnie: someone I know? lol
Barbie: not unless you know many 65 year old toothless men.
Barbie: ....and you might...hahahaha
Winnie: well i might, i do work there
Barbie: and for a grand finally, he did his best ninja routine on the way out.
Winnie: priceless......
Barbie: band-shmand....HE was the entertainment.

The Status Challenge

Winnie: good morning
Barbie: good morning!
Winnie: how was your evening?
Barbie: pretty uneventful....one could almost say boring
Winnie: nice i guess lol
Barbie: well, I'll take it over drama
Winnie: better than turmoil
Barbie: ya...there isn't anything "wrong" per se...just nothing very exciting or dramatic or excessively gleeful
Barbie: not a bad thing, just not pure entertainment
Winnie: we sure are suckers for drama lol
Winnie: we're complaining that there is nothing wrong....what's wrong with that??
Barbie: I AM NOT COMPLAINING DUDE...let's get this straight...I am perfectly happy to choose my own excitement!
Winnie: lol ok
Barbie: preferably in the form of a lottery win of some sort
Winnie: I'm working on that one
Barbie: me too. It's bound to happen soon. I'm worthy of it.
Winnie: yes you are my friend
Winnie: and i am worthy of at least half a million for being your friend
Barbie: lol not to worry....I'll take care of my friends when I am a multi multi millionaire.
Winnie: good :)
Barbie: the same goes for you!!
Barbie: In fact, all I want is my house paid off.
Winnie: all i want is A house, lol
Barbie: well, in my case, that also may be the case soon...ha, ha
Barbie: So....can I challenge our readers for a moment?
Winnie: a challenge on a monday morning??? wow you're tough
Barbie: I am asking them to come up with witty status' on facebook. The ol' "Glen is eating an apple." is dragging the fun out of facebook down!!
Barbie: I'm asking our readers to stir up trouble, cause some controversy, be original, think outside the box. Or, if you are going to be lame, and least let it be the MOST lame. (Can I say that my friend Pebbles won this one with the "Pebbles just turned the light out in the garage". An eternal winner in my books.)
Winnie: so you mean you DON'T want me talking about taking my dog for a walk?
Barbie: no.
Winnie: hmmmm, take all the fun out of it will ya!
Barbie: If your dog ate someones cat along the way, well that's a different story.
Winnie: nice........then i may have some angry neighbours who have something to talk about on THEIR status
Winnie: I have a good one.......
Barbie: what?
Winnie: and give it away?
Barbie: ahh....that's better...I checked your status...much more interesting!
Winnie: now i just have to tell the world how STUPID i am lol
Barbie: well at least it's more interesting!

Hey there Sugar!

Winnie: hi ya
Barbie: well howdy there!
Winnie: filled up on candy yet?
Barbie: what do you think??
Barbie: You know I have candy issues, lol
Winnie: yes, i heard that somewhere.
Barbie: I may be the only person you know who has eaten an entire gingerbread house.....in one night!! (insulin here I come)
Winnie: well it was a chaser for vodka, so you're allowed
Winnie: it's in the rule book
Barbie: I'm still waiting for my metabolism to give up....then I'm screwed.
Winnie: well mine has already, so you can't be too far behind
Barbie: great....oh the joys of aging.
Winnie: PLEASE don't say THAT word?
Winnie: i like to think that reality is just something the Pharmaceutical companies made up
Barbie: what? Joy? don't be such a stick in the mud
Winnie: i mean the "A.G.E" word
Barbie: bah...to be honest, I don't care that much (today)...ha, ha
Winnie: that's because you're high on sucrose....just wait
Barbie: technically if I keep eating candy, I never have to come down...NEVER!!!!!
Winnie: neither will the scale
Barbie: It isn't a problem, I can stop any time, I just don't want to.
Barbie: I mean, I have seen people who eat waaaay more candy than I do, THEY have the problem, not me.
Winnie: that's because there is less candy left for you....
Barbie: My life is still under control, I mean, it isn't like I'm holding up convenience stores for a Big Turk or anything....
Barbie: yet.
Winnie: well you should be good until after Easter anyway....
Barbie: ya...I mean, keep things in perspective, I'm only on a sugar high from Hallowe'en until Easter.
Winnie: it's controlled substance abuse
Winnie: i like it!
Barbie: I'm what you call a functional sugarholic.
Barbie: See at the Halloween party most people were doing shots and I was popping gummy spiders.
Winnie: and you wonder why you have strange friends
Barbie: excuse me? I prefer non traditionally interesting.
Winnie: "Oh there's the German Girl...look at her take down those candies...wow!"
Barbie: I have plenty of normal friends....as long as they are candy enablers.
Winnie: "Ya she's a hoot...just don't invite her to your kid's birthday parties"
Barbie: listen, a girl needs her vices....otherwise I would be intolerable...too much to look up to!
Winnie: I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it
Winnie: I just wouldn't want to be compared to the Blueberry Girl from Willy Wonka
Winnie: but if you don't mind it....
Barbie: well, like I say, there isn't anything in life that can't be made better with a little bit of sugar.....
Barbie: except Diabetes.

Fear or Beer?

Winnie: good morning
Barbie: good morning sunshine!
Winnie: that's me!!!!!
Winnie: the sunshine of every one's life!!!
Barbie: lol
Barbie: well, nobody can say you lack self confidence!
Winnie: im sure we could some people who would disagree with me though
Barbie: doubtful
Winnie: self confidence is my Super Power!
Barbie: So how are things in the Hole? Still mass hysteria?
Winnie: Yupppp...now I have a sick son
Barbie: which one?
Winnie: actually both
Barbie: so now they can't get the shot anyway, so you can put off that decision...
Winnie: college boy has a cold, saw him last night and feeling run down
Winnie: skater boy has a terrible headache, body ache and heavy chest...no fever of cough just yet, crossing my fingers
Barbie: yuck. the flu sucks.
Winnie: it sure does, now add FEAR into the symptoms and its even worse
Barbie: yes. of course. Fear taxes the immune system.
Winnie: something like that
Barbie: so he is at home today then?
Winnie: yup, let him sleep before he ends up with a fever
Barbie: sleep is soooo good!!
Winnie: nothing else i can do for him now
Barbie: nope. just tlc, lots of fluids and rest
Winnie: How is the center today?
Barbie: like yesterday....less and less people are coming and the ones who are here are in a mad panic.
Winnie: start handing out Valium with the hand sanitizers
Barbie: lol
Barbie: If I was a doctor I would be prescribing a shot of whiskey and a mental health day for everyone!! (including me, lol)
Winnie: hey that sounds like a good plan to me....although everyday is a mental health day for me lol
Barbie: lol!
Winnie: and I prefer Brandy
Barbie: I'm just thinking the alcohol is the important component.
Barbie: But I do think this...whatever your choices and practices...it always helps to have calm around them.
Winnie: i agree...there is nothing more that we can do
Barbie: again with the "give in to the river of life....paddling upstream gets you nowhere"....how many times are we (you and I) going to be presented with this lesson before we finally get it??
Winnie: until we drown?
Barbie: well, if you let yourself go with the flow you eventually bob to the top and you won't drown.
Barbie: But MAN is that a tough one!!!!
Winnie: OK...enough talk about that....
Winnie: do you have your costume for the weekend?
Barbie: yep. I am wearing my German outfit so I am going as a beer wench, lol
Winnie: glad you will be yourself lol
Barbie: you are pretty brave when you are out of reach.

Flu or Fly?

Winnie: hi friend!

Barbie: Hi girl!

Winnie: is it sunny today?

Barbie: nope...but I am in a slightly more sunny frame of mind

Winnie: good

Winnie: funny what NeoCitrin can do

Barbie: lol....at least I got a good night's sleep

Winnie: well you needed it

Barbie: yes

Winnie: shit i just over creamed my coffee...hmmm guess its cafe au half and half for me today lol

Barbie: lol, Starbucks eat your heart out

Winnie: guess ill have to get my fix with something else

Barbie: so. everyone around here is all a twitter about the flu vaccine...

Winnie: i dont get it...flu is the flu....

Winnie: i would not put that stuff in my system on purpose

Barbie: yep. media and pharmaceutical companies like to scare people

Barbie: I have worked with germy kids for years and years and have only gotten the true flu once and never gotten a flu shot.

Winnie: me either...lol....maybe we shouldnt say that out loud

Barbie: why? it isn't against the law...lol. Want to prevent the flu? Wash your hands consistently, get lots of rest and keep your stress under control.

Winnie: i mean we shouldn't jinx it

Barbie: well, I'm not interested in getting the flu, especially, but i take it as a sign that your body needs a rest plus it builds up your immunity, being exposed to viruses.

Winnie: and this public service announcement has been brought to you by.....

Barbie: well, if it was a public service announcement it would be saying "get vaccinated"

Winnie: yes it would, i agree

Barbie: I get why the govt. wants people to get vaccinated. Because if everyone got the flu at the same time, it would bring society to its knees but it would be nice if they did more on other preventative measures too.

Winnie: make work project...love it

Barbie: yesterday I watched Oprah and they were visiting different places in the world. I want to move to Denmark. I think I was born in the wrong place. It seems like I would fit right in there...lol

Winnie: lol....and you complain now about a long distance relationship??

Barbie: lol....just kidding. But their society is freaking awesome!

Winnie: how's that?

Barbie: well...it is a free society but most people make generally around the same amount of money, so you don't focus your career on money but rather on your interests.

Barbie: All health care and all that is free

Winnie: so far so good...where do i sign up?

Barbie: plus they are minimalists....they are not into big houses, big consumers.

Barbie: They get tons of holidays and everyone quits work at 4 to go and eat with their families.Winnie: what about big....???? oh forget it

Barbie: lol

Barbie: but not to worry, I love Canada. I'm not leaving.

Winnie: well you ARE living in the Center of the Universe, why would you want to leave? :)

Barbie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWQf13B8epw

Regards from the Over 30 Crowd!

Winnie: good morning sunshine!

Barbie: mornin!

Winnie: how are you on this nice crisp day?

Barbie: besides chilly? lol, well, ok. It is always hard to go back to the ol' grind after a nice weekend of friends, family and good grub.

Winnie: im starting to be happy that i dont have a 9 to 5 job...where would I find the time...

Winnie: i think Im still full from last weekend and SICK of baking and cooking. My son in college is happy, he went home with more food then I have left in my fridge

Barbie: You sure did Martha Stewart proud this last weekend. I of course did some elite eating myself..

Winnie: It was a nice weekend, was great to spend some time with you and the kids

Barbie: Thanks for hanging with us! I know the playgrounds were amazingly exciting for you...lol

Winnie: it was the most exciting part ;)

Barbie: that doesn't say much for your weekend girl...lol

Winnie: no it doesn't LOL..but next weekend...look out!!! mama is on a road trip!!!

Barbie: lol....just to let you know....I REFUSE to go to that adult club. NEVER AGAIN....felt like I was on "Keys to the VIP"

Winnie: fine, but you better take me out somewhere fun...no PG 13 for me this weekend...lol

Winnie: Its bad enough i will be stuck in a hotel with a bunch of 15 yr olds

Barbie: well, where do you want to go?

Winnie: somewhere that i dont feel like a chaperon

Barbie: that is hard to do!! lol

Barbie: all the places except pubs the kids are so young..

Winnie: help me out here hunny....lol

Winnie: then pub it is I guess

Barbie: I like the crowd at the hut. Mixed ages. More people to talk to.

Winnie: that's cuz you know everyone, not too difficult to be social my dear....got to mix it up a bit!!

Barbie: I know...but it is HARD meeting new pals in a new city. Everyone I know (except Pebbles and Doodlebug) are married and stay with their families on the weekends!!

Barbie: I need you to move here....lol

Barbie: then we will have enough to form a posse.

Barbie: a girl needs a posse you know!

Winnie: Sure, sounds good...I'll get working on that

Winnie: You'll have to share your bedroom with me though

Barbie: I know that it isn't only the women finding the clubs young....our old friend lambchop mentioned the same thing this weekend.

Barbie: maybe it is time to post this:

Barbie: THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!! If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... barefoot...BOTH ways Yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!

But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today.

You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!

And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen!

Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take, like, a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe!

There were no MP3's or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished and the tape would come undone. Cause - that's how we rolled, dig?

We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen... forever!And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel! NO REMOTES!!!

There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we had to use the stove! Imagine that!

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or before!

Regards,The Over 30 Crowd

Winnie: Geeeeee thanks for making me feel old. Just what i needed today!!

Barbie: I don't like to call myself old. I prefer "retro chic"

Happy Thanksgiving!

We Just want to take the opportunity to wish all our Family, Friends and Followers a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving. May you all be as blessed as we are.

More Than A Day

As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,It brings up some facts, quite profound.We may think that we're poor,Feel like bums, insecure,But in truth, our riches astound.
We have friends and family we love;We have guidance from heaven above.We have so much more than they sell in a store,We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.
So add up your blessings, I say;Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.Enjoy what you've got;Realize it's a lot,And you'll make all your cares go away.

How to win the Best Husband Mug!

Barbie: so..."Two Hands Full" has requested that we make a "How to be a Good Husband List" because clearly the "How to be a Good Boyfriend List" was written by a 15 year old girl who has watched "Say Anything" too many times.

Winnie: and she's asking 2 divorced gals to do that?

Barbie: Well, I never said it would be pretty, lol

Winnie: i don't even know where to start

#1 - BE A GOOD BOYFRIEND

Barbie: Good point, otherwise you will never get to husband status anyway...

#2- Ask her how her day was (this is an important one) and look interested in her answer. Here is a bonus tip: ask a clarifying question to let her know you were actually listening.

Winnie: Hope the men out there are writing this down...lol

#3- Never stop kissing your wife. You can NEVER underestimate how important it is to give your wife kisses, hugs and kind words EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT IN BED OR WANTING SEX.

Winnie: Do they ever NOT want sex?

#4- Share the household chores. Your most important duty would be the one that she HATES the most...(even if it's the only one you do...trust me, it helps)

Barbie: I don't think guys have ANY idea how important this one is. There is NOTHING women hate more than feeling like they are a maid. BIG TURNOFF!!

#5- Don't think that children are her responsibility. You donated to the bank that made these children, they are exactly as much YOUR responsibility as they are hers. AND ps- women get turned on by men who love and care for their children.

#6- Love her friends...take the initiative to invite them over for casual dinners, game night and oh......"girls nights" (just don't forget to get and prepare everything they will need BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE)

#7- Take care of her when she's sick and don't make her feel guilty for you having to get up with the kids, get them off to school and making sure dinner will be served (a somewhat healthy one please) Women loved to be nurtured and cared for. But do it out of the goodness of your own heart and don't make her feel like she owes you.

#8- Never stop playing. Be silly, tell jokes, laugh, wrestle. These things remind us of why we fell in love with the person in the first place.

#9- Treat her as well as you would treat any friend. There is a minimum level of respect that married couples should give each other. You would never criticize your friends in a harsh way. Give them the silent treatment, be mean. Think of it this way: If it wouldn't fly with your buddies, then your wife AIN'T gonna love it either!

Winnie: and one final one....

#10 - Love her family....even if you don't like them. They are a part of HER...when you talk bad about them, you are talking bad about her. Even if she bad mouths them, she will not tolerate anyone else doing so. Especially YOU!

Barbie: Hmmm....those are all good ones

Winnie: Guess we should have made this list years ago...lol

Winnie: oh and BONUS #1......WE ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!!

Barbie: LOL, I KNOW I am not always right, but it IS a bonus when you tell me nicely that I'm not right.

Winnie: don't ruin for me, please!

Barbie: Ok, you are always right ......in your own mind. lol

Winnie: Maybe WE should get married! LOL

Barbie: listen sista, even if someone met every. single. criteria on this list....I would STILL think twice about getting married. I LOVE having the whole bed to myself. giggle.

Winnie: we have guest bedrooms for that!
