Run away! Run away!
Posted January 26th, 2009 by Jill Conner BrowneCurrently trying to outrun the ice storm in OK! Tulsa & Wichita events postponed for a week or so but I’ll be back!
Oh great. Something just started beeping on the bus . In case we are never heard from again , our frozen bodies can be found in the bus under bridge #5033 somewhere in the bowels of OK.
Kyle is outside–with no coat –on the HIGHWAY side of the bus–fiddling with who knows what in the bus guts–so HIS body may be found out there. The dogs & I prefer to die indoors if at all possible–cuts down on the snacks for the coyotes.
Kyle just came in from the sleet storm & spied the remains of the jar of Vaseline that Edie had previously devoured half of. She polished it off this time–sooo that means another dose of immodium for little Edie! And possibly floor mopping for me since I was so busy contemplating our impending icy doom that I am to blame for her having the opportunity to find, seize & devour the grease. I will also get to have chapped lips for the duration of the tour since Vaseline has just been declared contraband.
Ok. We moved & the beeping stopped briefly only to resume. The body hunt should NOW begin just west of exit 56B. First come first served on the Barefoot Wine underneath the bus.
If it can be determined that Fifi did not somehow cause this, then give her my big ass crown–God knows she wants it bad enough. If she is found to be guilty however, give it to Pippa–that is the worst punishment I can think of for the crime.
Gee I love to travel!

Can I get the pink snow boots, then? I know you’re probably wearing them right now, and, thus, could be wearing them when you actually kick the proverbial bucket, but that doesn’t bother me one single bit. (Especially knowing your feet’ll probably be the last parts of you to freeze!) They’ll be put to good use by ME– no selling them on eBay or anything– I just cannot stand when my feet get cold.
I hope y’all don’t die and all, but I do appreciate your consideration.
Love,

Vaseline? Those critters of yours have some peculiar tastes. I have heard of folks giving cats Vaseline to make the hair balls “glide through” more effortlessly. But dogs eating Vaseline has got to be nothing but shear gluttony.

You mean I had my momma dig up her big gaudy green hat (since I had nothing suitable in pink)from storage for NOTHING? You had better come back to Tulsa, Ms. Browne! We had a posse of yaya/SPQ crossovers ready to serenade you!
Safe travels!

I just learned about you yesterday on OETA (feel like I have been living in a cave as the rest of the world sure seems to know about you and your books)–can’t wait to read all your books–saw you interviewed–boy, you are a lot of fun! I just retired so I am entering a whole new world of getting to do things I have not had time to do before–reading your books is going to be required for me and at the time of the list! By the way, are you coming to Oklahoma City or Norman, OK anytime in the near future for a book signing?

I have missed everytime you have been in OK due to icy weather. One of these days you will get to meet my no stinky bugs boy. Page 121 of the guide to raiseing children for fun and profit.

I call dibs on the sequin jacket. It’s mine once she gets to Baton Rouge anywho.
Drive safely.

Me and the girls have performed the ritual of safe return by killin’ a rubber chicken and leaving it on your front porch. Sorry about the mess — but we tend to scatter feathers and sequins wherever we go. Folks in Jackson are mightly friendly, so we had no trouble findin’ your house. Making bail was kind of a hassle, though. If we don’t hear from you in a couple more days, we may have to form a posse to come lookin’ for ya’all.
Take care!

This is very up-to-date information. I’ll share it on Twitter.
