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?

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???

Love and Kisser's

ONE YEAR PLAN

For those of you who don't know... I'm a huge Rosie O'Donnell fan! Huge! I loved her on "The View" and quit watching it the day she left! I follow her blog, listen to Rosie Radio and follow The Rosie recap blog @ Rosieradio.blogspot.com Rosie has started a one year plan. And

I have a plan as well. I'm sharing it with you, because let's face it... My husband has fallen asleep, The dogs don't listen that well, and the kids have flown the coop!

So here it is

MY ONE YEAR PLAN

Within the next year I plan to...

Learn to Quilt.

Start riding bikes.

Lose 10% of my Body Weight.

Dance.

Stay away from Diet Coke ( I haven't had one since April 12) * This comes from a 12 pack a day Diet coke/Diet Dr Pepper drinker...

Walk a 5k.

Brush up on my grammar.

Work on selling my sitcom ideas.

There it is Ladies and Gentleman.. My one year plan.

I'm trying to make these goals within my reach. I don't think there is anything that I can't conquer! I'm Barbie the Fabulous! I'm like the little train that can... I can do it! I can do it!

It's the Holiday Weekend! I'm loading up Julie's car and were heading over the hills and thru the woods to Madison house we go! 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.

The fighting WILDCATS! I'm so excited and hope that I can make it to a game soon! Go Blake!

Go Wildcats! Tear'em up! Break their legs! (sorry I got a little carried away there).

Everyone have a safe and fun Holiday!

Love everyone of ya!

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!
