Winter Weekend in Video
Here are two videos from the winter weekend. The first requires some explaining.
As I mentioned, I was pretty sick during our trip. On Sunday, after breakfast, I decided to go back to bed and take a nap. Apparently, while I was sleeping, PCG took a very relaxing hot bath in our large awesome bathtub. When I woke up, he was all LET ME RUN YOU A BATH! YOU’LL LOVE IT! And I was so so so excited because it sounded AMAZING.
Of course, when I stepped into the bath, it was ice cold.
Because PCG used up all the hot water for HIS bath.
I decided to take a video and ask him how his bath went since I sadly was not going to get the chance to experience my own. OH I AM SO SARCASTIC AND HILARIOUS.
Noteworthy tidbits from the video!
1. PCG’s real name! I believe I use it in both videos because, duh, I do not refer to him in real life by his blog pseudonym. SHOCKER.
2. PCG spends the first part of the clip grumbling about me and “Long Island girls”, namely “North Shore” girls (PCG is from the SOUTH shore of LI.) and then the rest of the video telling the camera how I was drooling in my sleep, etc. He’s so nice, no?
3. His last question at the very end of the clip – “What kind of car are we driving?” cracked me up at the time because it seemed to be the running joke of the trip. You see, when we picked up our rental car, I was on the phone with my mom and to her, I said, “Our rental car is awesome! Brand new!” and when she asked what kind of car it was, I said “Red” which apparently was hilarious because for the rest of the trip, PCG was all LOOK! ANOTHER RED CAR! THEY SURE DO MAKE A LOT OF THESE TYPES OF CARS, etc. etc. EXCUSE ME. I meant to say – BRAND NEW RED TOYOTA COROLLA but I didn’t know that at the time, I just knew the color and by the way, SHUT UP.
So, knowing all that (aren’t you so glad you know all that?), here’s some video fun.
The second video requires far less explanation as it is simply PCG and I going down a mountain on a snowtube. HOLLER?

“Red” is a perfectly acceptable way to identify what kind of car you are driving! I ought to know, I live where we make ‘em! Or used to. Or something. Ouch.
I have had VERY awkward conversations about cars with people who work in the auto industry where I say proudly, “I drive a blue car!” to a man who has spent his whole life making auto parts. And then I just get blank stares. Or eye rolling. Ouch again.
All I’m saying is, we need to lobby for acceptance of very generalized ways of describing our cars. So drive your Red car with pride! And someday, when I tell my grandfather, who spent many good years at Ford, that I own a brand-new Silver car, I hope he smiles at me with pride, and not pity.
Andrea – THANK YOU FOR HAVING MY BACK. I thought it was a perfectly acceptable way to identify the vehicle. It was red. It was new and shiny. THAT COUNTS AS DESCRIBING THE CAR. Oy vey!
Her mother is a South Shore Lawguyland girl and proud of it especially since the South Shore has the better beaches. And the sarcasm is not from MY side of the family. WE win at LIFE!
