  • Danged If He Didn’t Do It (edit)(elf on the redneck shelf #4)

    Meteorology Man has been bugging me forever to open a Facebook account.  I’m not for sure why he would want this, it would not be to his advantage.  And it would require a whole lot of reserve on my part, to not harass him on his postings.  I even hijack his site on occasion.  Consider yourself lucky you are not married to me.  I’m just not right in the head.   But let’s be honest, he knew that before he married me, considering the first time he laid eyes on me I was hootin’ and hollarin’ while standing on a bar stool.  I’m thinking he must be partial to not right in the head women.

    Which totally explains this insatiable need, for me, his not right in the head woman, to have a FB account, and to actually claim me as his wife.  It’s almost like he wants to fly me as his personal freak flag. 

    The other day he was bugging me again to open a FB account and I flippantly threw out a pretty safe and empty offer, When you open a Pinterest account, I will open a FB account.  I assumed that would be the end of it.

    Well, pin a tail on my behind and call me a donkey, danged if he didn’t do it.

    Here’s the proof.

    And here’s my end of the deal.

    Friend me, if you like.  Or just kill me and put me out of my misery  Either one is fine. 

    Oh, and Elf Boy will not be getting his own Facebook.   I’ve seen to that.

    Elf in a Jar.  It’s the latest Hostess Gift craze on Pinterest.  Just ask Meterology Man. 

    (edit) We have a bit of a disagreement here at the ranch. Maybe you could help us out.  If I have to be somewhat active on FB, then I believe it is only right that MM continue to add to his pin board every week.  What do you think?

    And for those of you worried, Xanga is my homeboy.  I got yo back. 

    Whoa there Nelly, I cannot believe all the FB friend requests.  I could use yet another favor. If you FB friend request me, could you please PM me to let me know your Xanga name/FB name so I know that I am opening my private info to someone I actually know?  Thanks.  MM thinks one of you mangy varmints might try to kidnap Cactus Jack.  And we can’t have that, can we?

  • Love this, I have a new pinterest to follow and a new FB friend!

  • Well what do you know; the Mayans were right! It must be the end of the world. If anyone needs me, I’ll be lying on the floor with a paper bag over my head. (I’ve hedged my bets with a friend request on facebook, just in case this is merely an alternate reality created by a disruption of the space/time continuum, or a result of the improbability drive being activated and not really the end of the world.)

  • Pinterest?  AND FB??  Good luck with those two and Xanga… You might be more “not right in the head” being involved in all three.. (You know I’m only teasing you…) Anyways, elf looks at home in the jar.

  • My husband has a Facebook acct. too but it’s actually me!  I signed “him” up so I could have another friend for a game.  My granddaughter posts some posts that I don’t especially like so if you see any of them…well. try to ignore them.  I love the stories you tell of you and your husband.

  • oh boy. Elf in a jar. That’s like, a horror film from the north pole.

  • I feel like the jar Elf would make a great trap in the Saw movies.

  • That elf ain’t going nowhere.

  • I’m going to follow and friend you guys ~ poor elf, he’ll be socially inept if he doesn’t smother to death first 

  • Oh my…that elf is going to have issues walking again. Well, that is if he survives. Wah Roh. 

  •    hahahaha, love hubbys pins!!!–karen

  • Well, for what it’s worth, the elf looks delicious… :3

  • I hope you’ll keep Xanga as your ‘primary’ blogging account –elf deal or not!

  • Now I want to be invited to a Christmas party…so I can give a lovely hostess gift….

  • Oh…man…that needed to have been a candle….a candle that smelt of elf sweat.  You could do two versions…regular elf sweat and drunken elf sweat which smells like Jack Daniel’s pecan pie.

  • That’s what you get for issuing ultimatums you elf torturer hahaha

  • Ha!  We must get our thinking caps on and print an instruction label to attach to your Elf in a Jar Hostess Gift.  Preferably on how to wrangle a mischievous elf.

  • YAY!!!! You won’t be sorry! Just don’t add annoying people and it will be great.

    I sent you a friend request from my real FB account – Lily Rayne. (I don’t really use the one with my legal name.)

  • so funny.  Loved MM pin of “what my wife should bake”.  Added you on FB
    Haha with the elf.

  • Karen Thompson is me…..there are loads of xangans on fb…that is how I keep up with old hat aka james

  • It isn’t Xanga vs FB – the two actually work very well in conjunction with one another. I’ve become even better friends on FB with a lot of people I met on Xanga. In fact my DD today is about that! I’m still working on it though.

  • Poor thing. Sounds as if you have your hands full! I don’t think I can help solve your problem cuz I don’t have fb, and I have no clue what the other is, but from what you have said, your request sounds fair to me. I’m just glad you will remain faithful to us Xangans. Which btw, is one of the main reasons I refuse to do fb, is cuz of the privacy issue, and Xanga is much more personal and private.

  • Just sent ya a friend request.  I don’t share my real info with a whole lot of people on Xanga, but certainly with the good ones it’s okay.

  • ((sigh)) going over to the dark side, I see…heh.

  • He should be as active on Pinterest as you are on Facebook.  For every status you update or thing you comment/like/share, he has to pin something.  

  • Hehehe, poor elfie

  • I did send you a FB request. But you’ll know it is me as my FB name is murisopsis. And just so you know I never post anything there and I just have it because family pressure was much easier to bear with an account… They don’t expect me to do anything and I don’t. They know where to find me (on xanga)! 

    @saintvi - HAHAHA! You crack me up!

  • I love that picture :)

  • Er, why exactly does he want you to do this?  It wasn’t your idea, exactly.  If you really want to, then go for it.  But it’s a little creepy that he keeps bringing it up.  My husband has no idea who I talk to online.  It’s my business, not his, and he is not the slightest bit interested.

  • @Pollypinks - hahaha!  MM is far from creepy, it’s just a lighthearted joke between us.  He loves my sarcastic sense of humor and just wants to interact with me on facebook.  My kids want me on facebook, too…and they are far from creepy.  I’m the only creepy one of the bunch.  

  • lol.. it’s not so bad to be on FB.  if you get lazy, like i do, just ignore it and sign in only when you feel like it.  you don’t even have to post any status.  just browse through what your friends are up to.  this way you get to see how everyone is doing and get to learn some new big news, if any.

  • You are hilarious!  I love the elf picture.  I have FB because it’s good for quick updates to keep up with Elita while she is in college and other people I know, but Xanga is my main site and I don’t have any family on that.  It’s more personal to me and I like the fact that’s it’s old enough that I can access it at work to see if someone has visited me but cannot comment on other sites, at least not the last time checked.  My job has FB blocked for employees.

    I tried Pinterest but I couldn’t get the hang of it so I don’t do it anymore.
    My FB acct. is Martina Rose McKever

  • Surround that elf with red and green M&Ms and it will definitely be a holiday hit!  If I lived closer, I think I might have to kidnap Cactus Jack.  He’s just too darn cute.  I’m going to friend you on Facebook Tamy!  I can’t wait!
