Welcome!

Happy Sunday afternoon! Welcome to Gies Gossip!

I am beginning this blog with the hope that it will become a tool "the gang" will use to stay informed of the shenanigans their loved ones are up to. (And maybe my ulterior motive is to create a little drama... Is that wrong?)

First things first: I am back on the net, baby! And now, I will make an even BIGGER point of not flipping that stupid light switch in the dining room. Yes, that's right; our modem and router are plugged into an outlet that is controlled by a light switch, making it all too easy to accidentally disconnect the internet. Today, after two weeks, three phone calls to Shaw, 60 minutes on hold and finally, a house call from Cam, I am now able to move forward with my life!

During this internet lull, I had many project ideas that I was unable to fulfull... or to even begin! One of these many brilliant ideas was a blog. In our post internet-return gratitude celebration, enjoying some beer and football, I shared this idea with my present company (A, M &C). Cam suggested (or according to him, re-suggested,) that I start a family gossip blog. So this is my attempt!

Why don't we start with a discussion? What makes a Gies? Fill in the blanks with your ideas. :)

"A Gies _____________________."

- falls asleep during all movies watched after 3pm
- feels unnecessarily anxious
- repeatedly makes That's what she said jokes
- plays Luxor
- buys far too many Christmas presents and spends HOURS opening them
- doesn't think a farm needs animals
- knows next to nothing about religion
- doesn't understand most clichés. E.g. Beggars can't be choosey

What else?

TTYL,

Ramblin' Robyn

  4. Oh I got a couple.
    A Gies is a car door slammer.
    A Gies locks down the house like Fort Knox when everyone is there.
    A Gies uses a cell phone for placing calls, never answering them.
