Is there anyone out there?

Hello and Greetings!

I know it's been a long time sense I've updated.. Sorry folks! I've been busy, busy, busy!

I'm sitting in the Denver airport waiting for a flight back to Austin and this Free internet is so slow. I've tired standing on one foot and holding my arm up to get a better signal but no luck...

Enjoyed my time here in the Mile high city! Camille is settled in and enjoying college life! Patti may have a squatter on her hands! Madison and Parkes birthday is Wednesday! I don't like being away from Maddie on her big day :(

The woman sitting next to me just finished McDonalds! What kind of drug is on those fries? I thought I might have to grab the fries and run! The smell makes you think you NEED fries! Crazy! I have to go because they are boarding the flight!

Love ya!

Good Day Mates!

Ello' Mates!

Did you hear about the Woman in England who had a migraine headache and when she woke up she spoke in a French accent! Well, that kinda happened to me.. Sorta, a little bit, not really. I sometimes fell like talking with a accent and today is one of those days!

I would like to share with you all the story of "Big Red" Big Red is a shirt that I confiscated from my friend Queenie! Yep I kinda just stole it right out from under her about 10 years ago! It's just a red striped shirt from Kohl's... I however Love this shirt! In my mind I found it to be expectable attire for just about any occasion. I wore this shirt for just about every occasion. Are you getting my drift here? I'm telling you I have worn the darn shirt out! It now has holes everywhere! I find comfort in this shirt. I like the feel of it against my skin. It's comfortable. However today and I was cleaning out my drawer I realized that Big Red most go.... Yes, it must make a exit from my life. It's hard to give up something you love, But I have done it before with My Sammy Swindell T~shirt and also my Gamble, Gamble, Gamble, Eat, Sleep, Shop t~shirts (Yes this is plural. I wore out 2 of them). I know it's for the best. When I wear Big Red out in public I think I'm looking a little homeless. :[

So I want to publicly thank Big Red for all the Love and Comfort it has brought to me. Thank you Big Red! Thank you! And just in case your wondering.... I will NEVER get rid of "The Burple"

By the way. I'm I the only person out there that names their clothing?

Ta Ta Laroo,

Sick Sick Sick

I don't feel good. :(

I'm sooo mad I don't feel good. I have plans for the week and they didn't involve being sick!

One of my plans is my quilting class on Wednesday I'm so excited about the fabric I've chosen and can't wait to get started. I'm working with my Mom's sewing machine so that makes my heart feel good! Mr. Wilson, Camille's dog has a kidney stone the size of a quarter! The vet has said that it won't dissolve on it's own. Can you say $money! Yike's I might need to sale a kidney to pay for his stone! I guess I'll sign off. I'm tired and need my beauty rest!

P.S. How much "How's it Made" can my husband watch???

Were going to hit up Canton Texas tomorrow and see what kind of trouble we can stir up! My Punk will be fishing on the coast and I'm hoping he catches a big ole fish! Darbie is coming to visit me next week I can hardly wait. She's soooo much fun! I wish Sue could have made the trip to Madison's with us, But due to her Motherly duties she has decided to stay home! Which reminds me. My nephew Blake is playing Football for my #1 team.

They Shoot Horses's Don't They?

Good Day Mates!

I found out in the last 30 hours that a Bee Sting sucks! I was walking around my pool barefooted Sunday evening when I stepped on a Bee! I hadn't been stung in quite a long time. After successfully drowning and beating the bad Bee to death. My friend Robin quickly (well it seemed like forever) made a paste of baking soda. She was a Girl Scout Leader for many years so this was just the type of emergency she was trained for. Ok maybe she didn't get her Bee Sting Badge!

With all the drowning and beating of said Bee we forgot to make sure the stinger was removed from my foot.... 30 hours later I had to visit a foot specialist to remove the little stinger! I'm also on antibiotics 4 times a day for the infection that I have in my foot! Lesson Learned... STINGER OUT FIRST THEN KILL BEE! I hobble now... They shoot Horses's Don't They.....

Happy Trails

Wonderful Weekend!

Hello Troops!

What a GREAT weekend! Started off with my 27th Wedding Anniversary on Friday! My Main Man "Punk" and I headed over to College Station to do some looking around at the Gypsy Junk Girls Junk~A~Plooza! Came back and had a wonderful dinner out! Madison called Saturday Morning and asked what was for dinner. I replied Pork Chops! She advised she would be on the next plane out of Tyler and she was! She flew back out this morning and Punk and I came back home and cleaned out the garage! Julie was over helping, and we got our Dip's and Soups in order for the season! If you haven't checked it out already you need to go to WWW.Dipitup.Com

We sale Soups and Dips and there the Best!

I made a Chicken Salad recipe that my Sister in Law gave me and it is sooo good. I'll ask her if I can share the recipe with all 12 of you here! HAHA!

Well, I'm off to bed. Working this 3:30 am shift can kill a girl!

It's been a long long time.

I'm so ashamed of myself. It's not that I forgot about all my peeps it's just I have been soooo busy with the girls going off to College and working that I haven't had the time to check in.

But I'm back and promise to be a better blogger. I follow quite a few blogs myself and know how disappointing when people aren't posting. So forgive me and let's get on with it!

First things first. Madison and Camille have both flown the coop! That's right we are empty nesters! It's very strange not having to do the laundry everyday, however I think I'm already use to it! I'm now very good at using Skype!

Tomorrow is Parke's favorite day of the year! Yes the day he get down on his knee's and gives Thanks that he is married to me! It is our 27th Wedding Anniversary! It's the day before and we can't decide if we want to go toobin down the Comal or fly to New York City and see a broadway play. I'll update you on whichever we choose.

Love my Fans!

Return from Mexico!

We made it back from Mexico! Only took 18 hours but I'm back! Back in the USA!

I hadn't been to Mexico in 30years! Not a lot changed! I had a wonderful relaxing time with Patti! We both love to read and that's what we did. I read 4 books thought the week!

The Girl With the Dragon

Sarah's Key

The Things We Do for Love

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter & Sweet!

There are quite a few things I will miss about Mexico. Clean Sheets everyday! Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Cooked by someone other then me... And having a real cabana boy! One who jumped to my every call! Our resort had a private beach and we found that laying on the beach could be a shopping paradise! We were approached by people selling everything from jewelry, t~shirts, clothing, Para Sailing and much more! You'd kinda just leaned over and looked and thought hmmmm sure how many?

Madison and I got to meet a Sea Lion up close and personal! That was very cool. Camille and Chelsea swam with dolphins and Parke went deep sea fishing. It was a Great trip and I'm so glad to have the memories to last me a lifetime.

I best wrap it up. 330am will come very early in the morning! (The time I must get up for work)

I'm still not sure about this morning shift. What is it you all see about sunrise? I much rather prefer sunset!

Melting in Mexico

Still in Mexico! Still Hot!

Why does a menopausal woman plan a trip to Mexico in August? Silly huh?

Melting in Mexico....

Barbie

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Hola!

This post comes to you from Sunny Mexico! I've got to tell you folks it's HOT! Humidity is 80%! We shopped downtown yesterday and I started to melt in a leather store. I kid you not... I was like the Wicked Witch of the West. I'm meltttttting..... When asked what was her favorite thing of the day. Patti replied watching Barbie sweat in the leather store! I gladly handed over 700 peso's to just get the hell out of there! I don't know what I would have done for air conditioning at that point! I finished the book "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" I really enjoyed and look forward to the next 2 books in the series. Madison and Parke are flying in today! I would love to write more. However Patti and I are needed at the beach. Sun calls and we answer! Chelsea and Bug are flying thru the canopy's as we speak! Can't wait to hear how they liked zip lining thru the forest!

Wish you all were here! A big Thanks to Traci for taking care of the pups!

And don't worry folks I'll use sunscreen! Skin Cancer sucks! I don't want it again!

Sending you love and nachos!

Adios!

Oma's famous dinner

As I typed the title of tonight's blog it made me laugh. You see there are two stories I could tell you... I think I'll go with the safe one for now. My Mom (Oma) made a meal that was my family's favorite. Pork Roast, Sauerkraut and dumplings. Now some of you all were lucky enough to come over and eat the real deal! My Mom cooked by feel not by measuring. So when I asked her to show me how to make this meal there was a lot of heated conversation. She would end up doing her feel and I would be scooping up and measuring behind her! It's a meal that take's me back to my childhood the moment the Pork roast begins cooking with the onions in the oven. My Mom made the best gravy in the world. I've only came close to her gravy twice in my life. Once with this meal and once at Thanksgiving. As I was making the meal tonight I thought of the many times my Mom had made the meal and gave a silent thanks to God for blessing me with my German Mommy! It did make my heart feel good when my family told me thank's and how good it was tonight. Missing my Mom.

Remind me to tell you about my Mother's other famous meal sometime.

Sunny Sunday!

Yikes! It's hot! In fact I have found it so hot that there is not much I want to do. So I haven't posted cause I didn't think you all would like to hear how I haven't really done that much.

I'm starting a new book. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. It come's highly recommended. Doe's anyone out there have any books you can suggest we read? I Welcome comments! In fact I'm surprised some of you haven't spoke up! Helping a partner in crime move some boxes today! Then I'm sure I'll have to sit in front of a fan! So that's it folks. I don't have much. So til next time. Be good! Be careful! Stayed hydrated! Use Sunscreen! And don't forget to call your Mom if you still can!

Hey Cupcake!

Self confession: I'm a cupcake slut! Never met one I haven't tried!

I've got a Secret!

I've got a secret! And it's not Victoria's secret!

I've decided to share it with you, my few, my proud, my followers! I belong to a small network, Ok a really really small network. I guess it's more like a one girl army! I've taken a stance against neglected Gnomes! Someone had to stand up for the poor guys. I think it's my calling. That's right I hear the call of the Gnome. (Ka~gnome Ka~gnome) Can you hear it? I didn't think so... It's a special talent that I alone might have. This all started about 3 weeks ago. One night while unable to sleep I came up with the idea to freshen up Madison's Gnome collection. I proceeded to groom her pool Gnomes. (See picture below).

Oh the joy! It was nothing compared to the excitement these little fellow's were feeling. ;)

I believe they then sent out a secret code to other Gnomes who needed a little TLG. Tender Loving Gnome. As I was driving by a neighbors I sighted another Gnome who needed some love! I recruited some former Gnome thief's and had them Gnome~nap the dude at dusk. I showed this Gnome some love and had the before mentioned special agents replace him back in the yard that he came from. I hope this random act of Gnomelove brought a smile to his owner's face! :) I've got my eye's peeled for more of these neglected suckers. It's a big world out there peeps and we have to do what we can for all species!

Your Gnomeloving Blogger,

Bicycle, Bicycle!

I want to ride my Bicycle, I want to ride my bike!

The only problem is I don't have a bike. I have been looking for a bike. Craigslist, garage sales and last but not least my brothers garage. But no bike for me yet. I have a dream! That's right a dream of getting back on the bike! Actually for those of you who didn't realize I was such a biker, Parke and I in our youth rode quite a bit. Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris. I want to go on a Backroads tour. Maybe thru the wine country. Now this might just be a pipe dream.. The last time I was on a bike. Julie tried to kill me by biking 22 miles in 1 day in the Hot Texas sun!

I was so dehydrated and hot that I got lost on the way home! A woman taking her trash out to the curb noticed I had rode up and down her street about 3 times (might have been weaving) and asked me if I needed some water. I of course delirious from the Sun, told her she just might have saved my life! She pointed me out of her subdivision where I proceed to call Parke to come pick me up! I sold all the bikes soon after in a garage sale. But now I have had a change of heart! I'm ready to get on my bike and ride! Patti bought me a cute bell with dice on it. I'm going to get a cool vintage basket also! And I plan on putting water in the basket just in case I lose my way home again! Just call me Bike'n Barbie. Well when I get a bike that is....

Peace,

Barbie

Thought I forgot about ya huh?

Salutations!

I've always wanted to use that word! Salutations! Makes me think of Wilbur and Charlotte! If you don't know what I'm talking about ask your parents! The Old Spice guy now answer's my phone! It's so funny! I admit that I called myself just to hear it! It's been a wild ride this week and I think I've done a pretty good job of just holding on....

I'm outta here for tonight!

Sweet Dreams!

Road trip!

Woke up, got out of bed ran a comb across my head..... Then I headed to Waco with Robin and Maddie! Road tripppppppppp! We drove the Mustang and looked cool. Actually we were cool!

Found some great stores with good buys! Rockin Robin found the best buys! Antique ladders and some kick ass boots! Madison and I piled our picks out to be rung up and for the love of monkeys I almost choked when she told me the total! I even expressed my thoughts in a louder then loud How much????? Madison was of course embarrassed and wanted to high tail it out of there. I had thought my selections were less expensive then they were... (Sorry Punk). But hey can I help it if my special talents is spending money? No I didn't think so either!

Mad Mad and I went to the store where I was almost forced to show her my excellent karate skills. (Where and the heck did these kids these days learn to talk back) And Maddie was really chipping me off by trying to get the last word in.. You all know that I Barbie (Mom) get the last word in..... After some pushing and shoving a few arm smacks she straightened up and good thing. Because I had my fight on tonight. I could have taken her down right there in the produce isle and not felt bad about it at all. She's lucky I didn't get my kick on. Cause if I do LOOK the hell out. I will hurt a kid! Sorry I was kinda re liven it..

On the way out to the car I assisted a sweet lady trying to put some heavy items in her car. Her name was Trish and I know we could have become very good friends. She told me she loved me and thanked me for my help. I told her it was no problem and that I too had a Mommy who couldn't always lift everything. I bid her farewell and headed over to my car when she yelled out. I have lots of jewelry and I could be your Mommy. I stopped and smiled and walked back over to her and let her know that I didn't need any jewelry but I was interested in being her friend.. She was so sweet and kind. I did want to go home with her right there and then. We decided that it was fate that had brought us together and that we would look for each other again at the grocery market! Walking over to my car I had tears in my eyes and my heart felt full. It feels very, very good to pay it forward my friends... Very, Very good...

Thank you and goodnight!

As time goes by.......

I know, I know.. I haven't posted! Well it's because I forgot my sign in and pass code. The memory is not what it use to be. It's all I'll say about that.

Had a Great time in Ponca City, Oklahoma home of the fighting Wildcats! It was a rainy affair.

We went out to Braden's ranch to watch some fireworks and in the words of my brother in law Doug.... It was like a Oklahoma Woodstock you could get in but didn't know how you were going to get out! I wish I had a video of Max pulling up in his pick'em up truck laying on the horn fist pumping engine humming and yelling "Jump in" We were literally riding dirty! After some of the finest BBQ and some mobster shooting we had Wild Max take us back up the hill. Fearless Mike and Parke rode in the back (I'm thinking they might have consumed more Jack Daniels then we realized) I might have heard them scream like girls once! (Just kiddin).

We drove Squeaks up for some TLC! And yes she still purrs! 180,000 miles and going strong!

I had a near death experience this week.... I went back to work and put in 12 hours each day. My body aches and my brain is mush. I always knew work could kill ya! With that I'm outta here. I gotta go find the Sandman.

Peace Out Peeps!

Barbie

Note to self...

Stay out of the casino.........

Postings from Ponca!

Good Day!

Rolled into Oklahoma last night. When we crossed the Texas/Oklahoma border our car immediately took a hard pull to the right! I was able to gain control and park at the Windstar Casino! Camille and I decided that we probably should get out and stretch our legs (always looking for ways to exercise). HAHA. Camille being 18 and all she was excited to see what this gaming stuff was all about! A couple of hours later! Yes we were there that long. We headed back out on the road... The next 4 hours went by quickly as we sang song after song from my youth! I had finished a water bottle and was using it as a drum stick until Bug couldn't take it anymore.. Kids they never let you have fun anymore! My mind going back to all the High School memories! Good times! Good times! As soon as I hit exit 214 on to highway 60. My heart beats a little faster! Honked thru the Conoco tunnel. And made our way slowly thru the sleeping town to David and Sue's house. Lake Ponca is calling.. And were going...

Back later

On the road again.........

Getting ready and gearing up to head to O K L A H O M A!

Sometime's I'm amazed at my own hometown pride! I am incredibly proud to be from

PONCA CITY, OKLAHOMA. HOME OF THE FIGHTING WILDCATS!

That's how I usually respond when asked! When I reminisce about my childhood I think of swimming lessons at Bogan Pool. Elementary school sports. Running the neighborhood without shoes on and your toes getting cut from the grass. My parents playing cards with their church friends (Mom would always buy frozen Chocolate Sara Lee cake).

Spending Sunday's after church with my Dad showing Patti and I how to clean coins.. My Mom doing her crossword puzzles and smoking cigarette after cigarette. (The reason I never smoked)

My older sister Darlene lining us up to play Capt'n Big Stuff! A game she created to smack the crap out of us! I was in a band... David on the drums, Patti strumming guitar, and me on lead vocals! We would sing louder then the record player! If I remember right the Monkee's were one of our favorites! It all seems like yesterday.. but now just hazy memories that I find myself going back over in my mind. I was truly blessed with having the parents that I did. My love for my Brother and Sisters still so strong. I'm glad to be heading home.....

The Dog Days of Summer

Baby it's HOT outside!

I can't believe the heat and humidity here in Austin. When I water my plants at night I swear I can here them saying ahhhhhhhhh. I'll be heading to Oklahoma this week to visit family and friends. It doesn't get much better then the 4th in Ponca City, Oklahoma home of the fighting Wildcats ladies and Gents! Patti is flying in and maybe a few other surprise guests. The heat is driving me to the River. I'm going to get my tube on tomorrow! Yes, we will be floating all day. We have yet to decide on which river to float. I've got Camille and Chelsea on the samwhich's and Madison working the towels. I've located some water shoes because I'm not going to touch the bottom without shoes! I don't care how much of a dork I look like! If you read this and you'd like to come. Come on! The more the merrier!

Just two words of advice....

WEAR SUNSCREEN!

Hello It's Me...

Hello!

I've been nursing a sick husband back from the edge! Parke did end up having the mother of all ear infections! He really should have gone to the hospital today for IV antibiotics but, he thought he could tough it out.. Hmmmm we'll see about that! My Vacation is winding down. Last 10 days and I have so much that I want to do yet. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer!

Night ramblings...

I've been trying to turn my schedule around and quit being such a "night" person. (It's not going all that great).

HaHa. I love staying up late and reading. In fact I think just about everything is better at night! However I have changed my shift at work to become a early morning person once again. Well see how that goes!

My Punk is sick! He has a ear infection and thinks he might be coming down with the flu. Yuck! I can't stand sick men! Admit it you Men know you milk it for all you can! Lucky for me my man doesn't get sick to often. I have set up a flu barrier! I have taken 9 pillows and constructed a flu wall! He better keep all the flu germs on his side of the bed. I have diagnosed him with just a severe ear infection (They call me Dr. Love).

Ok that made me laugh!

How many of you all remember Dr. Bombay from Bewitched? I loved that show! I wish I could move my nose and make stuff happen! Thinking about heading to Phoenix for the weekend! A little Queenie would do me good!

Barbie

Up in Smoke!

Oh my gosh I just burned dinner! I mean Up in Smoke! I was making chicken and dumplings and came upstairs and started a project. I was talking to Camille and all of a sudden I started yelling Chicken, Chicken, Chicken... I ran downstairs with Bug close behind. Grabbed the pot off the stove and Camille opened the door we had to extinguish the pan with the water hose! Hmmmm, now what to do about dinner????? Thinking about a little B I N G O tonight! Had a great dinner last night with Kevin, Robin and the boys! Enjoy your day!

Barbie

Happy Fathers Day!

A big Kiss and hug to all you Father's out there! We love ya Man!

Made it back to Austin yesterday. Parke made a great dinner and I worked a little in the yard where I noticed that a few of Madison's gnome's needed a little TLC. I bought them in and gave them a new look! Parke is out working on his golf game today. I'm looking for a bike! Watch out Lance. Keeping it short and sweet today!

Thanks for reading!

Today @ 5280.......

Hello!

What a day today! Camille interviewed at the Art Institute of Denver! Had dinner at Capitol Grill (Calamari, Steak and King Crab legs). And we scootered! Patti has matching scooters! Plus a kick ass Honda Shadow Aero! I named the bike Candy! Cause really who doesn't want Candy? Watching the movie Dazed and Confused. Brings back a lot of memories of growing up in Ponca City, Oklahoma home of the fighting Wildcats! Oh the story's I could tell! However, since I don't know if the statue of limitations is up I won't blog about them! We have avoided jail time so far and I'd really like to keep it that way. I have recently connected with some of my favorite people from the Wildcat years and I can't wipe the smile off my face when I think of them and the times we spent together! Drag'n Grand Baby! Water~skiing at the Lake! The Silver streak! The Kraut Car (Oma's car) That's a big 10~4!

We are planning to go to Ponca for the 4th of July to watch Mitch's Firework Extravaganza! Last year he blew up his diabetic pump. I have a picture of him taking one in the gut for us!

I have been searching for a pictures of The Kraut Car to show those of you who didn't see my mother driving the ugliest car ever made! However I could not locate the exact car. I'll ask Super Dave to give me the low down on that beast! Were going up to the mountains tomorrow. First stop Boulder! Then up to Estes Park. Enjoy your Friday peeps!

Over and Out,

Moon Baby (That was my handle)!

Giving up the drink!

Two months ago I gave up diet soda..... I didn't have any headaches or any other symptoms of withdrawal. I don't notice a change with the exception of my Sonic visits. I now drink water and tea. I'm really wanting a diet soda. Like really, really wanting a diet soda. I pass a Sonic and I get the shakes! I'm ask myself. Self, why did I give up the diet soda? I don't remember why. I feel as if I should give up bottled water due to the excess plastic that is now being disposed. I might hurt somebody if I don't have a diet soda tonight! I can close my eyes and hear the pop of the can. Feel the coolness of the can in my hand. See the fuzzes from the pour.. Lifting the thin rimed glass to my lips... Then BAM I open my eyes again. I swallow hard and try to remember why I gave up diet soda?

Thirsty in Denver,

Barbie

Dream'n in Denver

Having fun here in Denver! Camille and I did what we do best today (Shop). I explained to Parke that I didn't know how to get anywhere except the Cherry Creek Mall he begged to differ stating that our credit card states we know how to get around in Denver just fine.
We don't even have the air conditioner on here! It's so great sleeping with the windows open and a cool breeze. I've been trying to figure out how to download music to this blog. Until I post again. Be Good and be Good at it!

Late night bloggin.

I liked the Title of tonights blog.. Made me feel all cool like the rest of the late night gang...

Fallon, Dave, Jay.. come to think of it there should really be a female on late night... It was another lovely 58degrees today! We did a little shopping, eating and napping... I was sorry to mess Madison's dinner of Sloppy Joe's tonight. Thanks for keeping my man fed! And a real quick shout out that I hope tomorrow goes all kinda good for you! Let's see Italy Won in the World Cup today. Okc was almost washed away. And the Big 12 becomes the Big 10. Isn't that right??

Who knew I know so much about what's going on in the world. Were thinking about going to the Denver Zoo tomorrow we haven't been in a few years and it should be fun. We were invited to the Zoo party in Waco on Friday night but we haven't really finalized are plans so who knows what where or when we will be doing.... Read a couple funny sayings today. Thought I'd share my favorites with you. "I would rather be Happy then dignified". "I haven't been there yet, but It's on my list.... and then I read this.... She was a fun loving, party girl and I thought to myself.. Why yes, yes this is what would be on my tombstone if I were to have a tombstone. But alas.. I don't want a funeral or a tombstone. I want to be cremated and have my ash's taken out to $Vegas in a baggie. Sprinkled out of a glad baggie. A little over the craps tables, under a few slots.. etc. etc... I think your getting the picture. In other words I do not want a funeral. I don't want my remains to be put in someones closet. I just think take the money and enjoy yourself... upon that note I think I will sign off for the night..

For the LOVE of Monkeys!

I for some reason think that for the love of monkeys is funny! I like just saying it! I like the way it rolls off the tongue.... Try it. Funny? Well I like it and it is my blog. The Bug and I made it to the Mile High City today.. We left Austin very very early the 1st flight was uneventful. On the connecting flight we found our seats and immediately feel asleep. The last thing I remember was taxing out to the runway Denver bound. I woke up to the sounds of taxing once again... I lifted the shade and thought where and the heck am I???? I asked Camille what was going on? She didn't know either so we asked our seat mate who informed us that we had gone back to the gate and sat for one and half hours!!! I don't know how we missed this but I guess there is no other way to get thru a maintenance delay I think I'll try it at work sometime! (I joke, I joke).

It was raining as we arrived and the temp a cool 58 degrees! We hit up Dbar for dinner and it was great! Wish you were here Mads! Were watching Pirate Radio and the Music from the 60's makes me miss Darlene. I know she's reading this blog as I type. Miss ya too Sis. More from Denver tomorrow!

Leaving on a Jet Plane...

Were leaving on a Jet Plane! That's right Ladies and Germs... Bug and I are heading out to Denver tomorrow morning bright and early! Going to spend the week with the best Sister in the World! Patti's house is always so much fun to visit! She treats me like the Queen I am. Hopefully we can get Camille to wait on both of us... HAH We won't hold our breaths on that one! Hopefully the Rockies will be in town and we'll catch a game! The weather is a lot cooler then it is here in Texas so that will be wonderful! We'll take plenty of pictures and learn how to post them here! Thanks for checking in and I'll post about Denver tomorrow!

Saturday Morning and the livin is easy!

Good day Saturday to my two followers!

I Thank You for coming over to my block. It's 10:00 am and I'm still laying in bed. I can hear Parke unloading the dishwasher. What a beautiful sound that is. I think I like it cause it means I'm not doing it! My friend Robin came over last night to help me with setting up this blog so a big shout out of Thanks to her! We took time out to eat pizza have a few cocktails and hot tub! Good night! Good night! As much as I would love to stay here in bed, I fell I must get up and be productive. Hmmmm maybe I can stay for just a few more minutes... Last night at 2am Camille and my fan club came into the office where I was working on this her blog and tried to talk me into packing my clothes and going on a beach adventure with them.... (How do 18 year olds get these crazy ideas in there heads)? They were really turning on the charm and I must admit it was hard to say no. I sat my head back to think about it for a few minutes and fell asleep! I told Bug not tonight. But try me again some other time. So in reality I could be sitting on a Texas beach typing this... Sometimes it sucks to be the adult! All right lets get this party started.... until next time. Be cool! It's hot out there!

Let the Good Times Roll!

I'm here! And I'm so excited! I just can't hide it! I now have a blog! And just when you thought it was safe huh? I'm not sure what all will go on.... It might be amusing it might not. But I figure it's a way to express myself! I hope you enjoy all my Big Dreams, schemes, plans and hopes! Talk to you tomorrow!
