Go Chris Mac, GO!

We must not forget that part of this blog is to promote the newly open resort. Erin’s Sleepy Sheepy Resort is having a fairly good turn out considering the location. Thus far, there was one guest in December who stayed only for a short visit. Then there was a guest who stayed in January for sometime. Unfortunately, I had to pay and beg her to come and then she posted that awful post that just came before this when I was knocked out. Now I have one reservation in February and some more potentials.

So to kick this resort in the bud, I’m offering a little bit more. For February there will be sheep races. I know they don’t look very sleepy now but just wait until March when they raced all February. Or when the sheep switch positions. Not sure how D.J. is going to be able to carry Jesse but D.J. has spunk. It will be fun. Book your reservations today before we are all filled up!

You know how they always have someone important throw out the opening pitch, or even better have some scantily clad girl drop her hankerchief to start the race. Can I start the inaugural race?

Great picture and I believe we have the first weekend of May booked.

Karin - BluePip Designs said...

PS You can delete posts too but why delete your biggest traffic-maker in months?

Karin - BluePip Designs said...

To Justin: Are you volunteering to show up in Georgia scantily clad? Is there a dress code at Erin's Sleepy Sheepy.

Erin said...

Yes there is a dress code for some. And others get by with whatever they want to wear.

Justin said...

I certainly don't make offers that I'm not willing to keep...assuming I don't offend the local yokels

Karin - BluePip Designs said...

So long as there are pictures on this blog I say go for it.

PS Erin, stop leading the witness or I'm going to declare a mistrial.

Justin said...

Maybe I should find me some football inspired attire to mark the occassion

Erin said...

O please, you didn't witness anything.

Justin said...

So before I go shopping, I guess I should inquire...just what is the dress code?

Erin said...

What do you mean before you go shopping? I thought you were in a constant state of shopping?

The dress code is wool for sheep. They frown on full frontal sheering.

Unknown said...

nice picture...

John said...

I think it's also tradition for the scantily clad one to kiss the winner of the race, is it not?

Justin said...

Well Jesse isn't known as Drooly just because it's fun to tease

Erin said...

Twitch Twitch

Facial Liquids!

Twitch Twitch

Justin said...

Yes that was partially what was going through my mind when I wrote that

Jamie said...

eew...kissing drooly...

Preston said...

What's all this about scantily glad girls? I am so in...

PS... Drooling = Gross.

Unknown said...

Well, Justin, the only way you will get the job is if you wear something with leopard print.

Erin said...

Leopard print? No I don't think that will work. I don't want to even know, Kris.

Justin said...

hmm, Leopard print sounds like fun.

John said...

Aren't sheep supposed to be afraid of Leopards anyway? Probably a "farmer's daughter" look would go over better.

Justin said...

I'm not sure sheep would have the slightest idea what a leopard was. They certainly got along with the leopard from LV, well that is until he tried to maul Taylor. So now they stay in separate rooms. Froggy stil gets along with leopard though.

My hair isn't long enough for the farmer's daughter look

Erin said...

Hey what is all this talk about farmer daughter! GRR. Maybe jsut pink. OK? (Besides I think the print would just make the sheep run faster.)

Unknown said...

you guys are borderline disturbing. and whats this about preston wanting to see scantily clad girls?

Justin said...

Hmm, must try harder. I'm borderline everything...borderline personality disorder, borderline disturbing. Why can't I just be successful at something sometime?

Preston said...

who DOESN'T want to see scantily clad girls? i mean, seriously... the only thing better is an Iowa City Roll. (Only Justin will understand.)

Justin said...

Do you think you are the only one special enough on this blog for me to have taken them to Oyama, just to clear that up for anyone who might have thought otherwise. This is a family blog after all

Erin said...

Thanks for the confidence. I like sushi too. But not Iowa City Rolls. Blah.

Preston said...

Iowa City Rolls are the best thing to have ever happened to my taste buds. Erin's taste buds are obviously broken.

Erin said...

Well it wouldn't be the only thing that is broken about me. But have you looked at them. They look like they came out of the Iowa City river. Ucky.

John said...

Well, the Iowa City Rolls are good... but only spectacular when Justin is buying. The Oyama roll is still my favorite.
