"not me" monday - deep creek lake style


seeing as how we're on a week-long family vacation, this is going to be a family effort for nmm!

my brother-in-law bryan, whom we've always referred to as the renaissance man, arrived at the lake and realized he certainly did not leave pennsylvania without his shaving kit containing his toothbrush, razor and other toiletries and we definitely do not now refer to him as encino man.

yesterday while out boating, we stopped for a swim in the lake...tony and the hubs hopped out and the boat drifted slightly away...tony in is floaties and john treading water and getting a little nervous, asked us to throw a rope...sue throwing the rope, realizing it's too short, jumps into the lake...fully clothed. it was at this moment, that my husband did not put his feet down to realize he could actually stand and was able to walk himself and tony back to the boat.

last night while enjoying some peaceful alone time in the hot tub part of the house by herself, my sister-in-law sue, after her strenuous rescue efforts earlier in the day, did not swear she saw and heard something in the woods (you know, like freddie krueger-ish, or mike myers-ish) outside the house and frantically, heart pounding, most definitely did not throw the cover to the hot tub back on, not bothering to secure it and run through the door and up 2 flights of stairs to avoid her [imaginary] assailant.

we awoke this morning to some nice weather and all gathered our belongings to head out on the boat...my father-in-law gary and sister-in-law missie headed in the car to go over to the marina. the plan would be for john, sue, tony, and bryan and i to drive the boat over and pick them up there. they left and we headed down the backyard to the dock. it wasn't until after we were down there that we certainly did not realize that gary took the boat key with him to the marina. nope, not us...we're professional boaters.

oh, and i was just given orders from my mother-in-law to make sure i tell you all how sweet she is! i certainly did not just type that while crossing my toes and fingers...just kidding.

head on over to mckmama's blog to read more funny (ok, funnier) not me mondays.
