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!

Love'n my followers...

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!

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!

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,

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!
