And there has been some things going on that I better get in writing before my senile mind forgets them. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Let’s go back and recap the parts that I remember, shall we.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>March – cold, snow, cold, snow, yep, that about sums it up for Indiana weather.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>April – All I remember from this month is that I was too damn excited to the 28th to come because it was time for the Annual Girls Trip to Florida. Oh my, what a trip that was. Just picture six women going 900 mile away from our men and children for a week. Some only went for five days but me and the BFF stayed two more days. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>The fun started on the first day when the asshats limo driver tried to charge us more than I was quoted. See, I have some anal retentive habits and one of those is call CMA (cover my ass) sooooo I had printed out all of the emails just in case. Justin Case came in very handy. And they sucker screwed himself out of a $25 tip from some very cranky women. Then the owner had the balls to come back and still try to mess with me. WRONG move dude when I have been on the beach and at the pool for five days and drinking the day he wanted to rumble in the jungle. Really smart short, fat old man, I know some stuff and know how to take down dumb men (OK, so most of them are) but don’t play with me. You will lose!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>The first night we all ended up in the pool in our clothes. Right by the Tiki bar and man was that fun. Is it wrong when the bartenders remember you from the last year? Well, we got great service so I assuming that is a good thing, no?</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Day two, just a chillin’ on the beach and pool and Tiki Bar and in our rooms and…..just fun. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>I will not bore you will the rest of the week because it was a repeat of fun. We did go on a dolphin watch boat thingy that had the best driver that we got to mess with and he was hilarious. We met some friends that we will see again.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>June – The boyfriend Gregg and I took 3 teenage boys to Kings Island for two day. I’ll let you picture that for a minute…………yep. Fanfuckintastic. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>We leave at 9am with threats of rain. It is only about a 1 ½ to 2 hours drive from my house. Momma played smart and kept those kids up late so they would sleep on the way there. And they did. Except it RAINED like Hell THE ENTIRE TRIP. And I was driving. There were times that I was only doing 35 on the interstate. But I was a determined one, as we got in the parking lot the rain stopped.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>We had rented a room for the night and it was crowded. The third child came at the last minute so they had to deal as Momma wasn’t putting out another $100 for a room for teenagers. Not happening no matter how much you whine. You may me my last child but you are not my first.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Ended up with a good time by all and no puking on the rides. Gregg drove home, I drank…oh shush…you would have too. Remember, THREE 14-15 year old boys in one car.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>THEN the big thing came. Oh Hell this hurts. I had one of those damn birthday things. And, and, and….Oh Shit….I turned 45!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REALLY, how in the Hell did I get this old? REALLY? 45? If I had known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself. Well, ok, maybe not but I wouldn’t have had that last kid to kill a good body. Ok, not even that, I would still have him.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Gregg did give me a nice surprise party with my friends and a CUTE cake and all that stuff. But he had the bartender put the candles on at 54 just to mess with me…asshole. The good news is I saved the candles as he will be 54 next year and I can reuse them. If I can resist putting a 1 in front that is.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>The boy made it to 14….how I have no idea because that boy has pushed every button I have and then some I didn’t know about. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Ok, so I started this a month ago….I suck...oh how he wishes…but I have got to get back at this as life has been throwing me some shit that has tried to take me down.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>One of my bestest, dearest, beloved, and so well missed passed on the 23rd. FUCK!!!!!!! God Bless America Cancer came into my life AGAIN!!!! I still have to do her burial this Saturday as the ass of Dr. didn’t sign her death certificate until today. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Jan Seprodi, I miss the living Hell out of you and life will never be the same!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>I have an AMAZING group of friends that we have all rallied around each other for this and I am SOOOO grateful for them!! And I hope I have helped them too.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>This past two months have taught me to hold those you Love even closer as we age and shit happens. </em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>I have been going through crap around here to have a garage sale in the spring so shit is piling up.

<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>So I had to move all of the books off of bookcase #1 onto case #2. Mind you, these are hardback books. I fill up #1 and still have three shelves full. Have to move them into the room so I can move #2. Then move it. Put all of the books on the shelves. And I had two boxes of books that were my Mom’s I had stacked away.</em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />

<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Now I will commence with spewing all kinds of crap for your pleasure!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Labor Day weekend was just that. Well, on Sunday it was. Gregg, Andy, and I did some deep cleaning around here. We cooked out some awesome steaks and fresh corn and all kinds of yummy goodness. I bought one of those little watermelons that don’t look like much but WOW the amount I got out of it and it was soooo sweet. I won’t bring up the fact that I have them growing in the garden and SOME male around here didn’t tell me there was one out there that I could have had.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Why is it that I can sweep this house twice a week but I always seem to find a little dog I didn’t know I had each time? Seriously, the hair we sweep up is maddening!! It is no wonder all of our noses used to constantly run and now they don’t!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>My car window has been funky since I bought the car but last Thursday it went down and REFUSED to go back up. I have had that issue before as in every time you go to a drive-thru it was a crap shoot as to if it would work or not. I called my handy man, aka Jimmy, to see if he could help as they SAY we will get rain this weekend. He came and got the car, fixed it, just got it back in the driveway and OMG, a quick shower hit!! Guess I had a little good Karma come my way.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>I have a semi-mess going on and may need bail money (again). We have these “friends” that bug the hell out of all of us but they keep showing up and we are adults and deal with it but they are just about to blow my gaskets. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>When we get together for cookouts and such they do the minimum that they can get by with and then sit around drinking beer. He attempts to help the guys but ends up being more in the way than not. Well, here is the dilemma of the day…the asshats has been on unemployment for almost 2 years after getting fired for sexual harassment. Yes, he goes there a lot and I have had to put him in his place more than I can count. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>His 60th birthday is the weekend we go to Brown County and he also has filed for retirement. Yes, he’s retiring from unemployment. Go ahead; shake your head like I am. Anyway, he brings this up E.V.E.R.Y.T.I.M.E. we are together. He has it in his head that we are going to do something for him that weekend. NOOOOOOOO…we are not!!! We will hand him a card and say congrats and go on.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Well, last night, while I am COMPLETELY sleep deprived and had a few cocktails, his wife brings it up. SHE wants one of us to pick up a cake for him. I was not a nice person. She probably got the hint when I said “NO Fucking way, I am doing enough for this weekend and it damn sure ain’t all about him! We are already getting all of the food together that YOU will be getting a bill for your share but this is MY vacation too!” I had more cocktails because I have awesome friends that like to snicker when I bring out my evil twin. So, we will see how shit goes down. </em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>1. School has been good so far. I am dealing with new teachers that I had not been warned about! This 8th grade teacher and I will probably not make it through the year. I AM NOT the student and will NOT be treated as such. Andy had a small melt down, and for him I do mean small. She calls while I am in the shower, I get the voice mail. Oh shit, English is rough for her…I can’t understand her phone number well at all and haven’t a clue what the name is. Sounded like…ARGLUDISJFFKEL! I get another one yesterday to tell me how WELL he is doing. Ok, I like positive reinforcement but lady, please. He is growing out of a lot of his issues so just let him be, for your sake.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>2. I woke up Sunday morning to three of the largest zucchini’s I have seen in awhile. With a recipe for creamy zucchini pie in the bag, on my front porch. Any guesses as to what I am to do with them? I have a few ideas but then they would be inedible.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>3. I already have a counter full of tomato’s that I am (was) suppose to have made salsa out of by tonight. Not seeing that in my future today. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>4. I think I am having my PMS without the cervix and uterus. Sorry guys had to throw that in there.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>5. Why am I breaking out like a teenager when I am in my **cough**cough** 40’s? I didn’t have zits when I was young, why in the Hell now?</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>6. Like Erin said, where in the Hell is the rain? I hadn’t realized I moved to the desert! Tired of heat, humidity and watering the garden every night. Hey, maybe that is the key, quit watering the damn thing, it will quit growing…..hmmmm….may be onto something here.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>7. I think I am going to eat the rest of my T-bone steak very shortly. Steak is good protein for breakfast. Well, it is in my world. Maybe a couple of eggs. Mine haven’t been recalled…I don’t think. If you don’t hear from me, we will know the truth.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>8. That brings me to a controversial topic. And I hope to not piss anybody off but this is my blog and my thoughts and you have been warned. When I was a kid, damn sounding old, we played in dirt, we ATE dirt, we were not bombarded with Mom’s constantly wanting to rub us down with anti-bacterial crap. Are we still alive? Hell yes. IN MY OPINION, it is the keeping germs off of the kids that are causing them to constantly be sick if a germ gets within a foot of them. Now, I do know some kids are just born with a low immune system, I KNOW THIS and am not saying all Mom’s do this. But with school starting it is totally being shoved down our throat. All three of my kids have made it without ever being touched with the stuff. I WAS LUCKY that my kids did have GREAT immune systems and we didn’t have too many of the ear nose, and throat issues so I am blessed in that department. But when people act like I am a bad Mother because I won’t insist that he carry a bottle of that stuff in his pocket, it sends me to a dark, dark place.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>9. Only three more weeks until a mini-cation. For those of you that asked, every year a bunch of us go to Brown County, Indiana for a three day weekend. It is a small town in the hills that has a bunch of little shops of handmade crap that you have to buy and then dust for the rest of your life. Lots of little restaurants to eat weird stuff in. We do a cookout at the hotel on Friday night, walk around the whole town on Saturday which includes a stop at a little winery where you can get a bottle of wine, cheese, and crackers and sit on the covered patio and just enjoy. Then we have a DD that drives us around for a couple of hours and then back to the little bar behind the hotel. There are 18 of going this year. ALWAYS a great time.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>10. And that will be Gregg’s last vacation of the year!! I love him home but he gets too restless if he doesn’t have something to do which sends me crazy and it just turns into Crazy town around here. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>11. Why does his company insist that they make the vacation schedule in December? Do you have any idea how hard it is to schedule 5 weeks of vacation a year in advance? There are 2 weeks we know for sure then it is a crap shoot. Do you know what you are going to want to do a year from now?</em></span><br />

Musings!<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>I’M SO EXCITED!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>You do know what tomorrow is, dontcha’?</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>My kid goes back to school. Hallelujah pass the wine!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>My two days, well, one and half, were fantabulous. Connie came on Thursday and we just sort of chilled out at the VFW for a little bit and then back here. On Friday, we did some retail therapy, got pedicures and then commenced with the “Chill the fuck out day” at her house! We sat, talked, drank, ate fajitas (See Marty, told ya, EVERY TIME!) I can’t tell you how much I needed that. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>On Wednesday night, a friend texted me asking and I quote, “A big batch of my mostest delicious deviled eggs for a friend’s bachelor party on Saturday”. I am sure someone heard the big “Fuck me running, I don’t wanna”. But we KNOW I would never say that to friend so of course I texted her back, Yes Dear. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>So on Friday morning before we get moving I decided to go ahead and cook the eggs and then Saturday when I get home I will finish and deliver them. I know, there is no end to my brilliance.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Friday night while sitting on the Tiki Bar back porch, I hear my phone beep telling me I have a text message.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>“Don’t so the eggs we already have some”….Fuck me again!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>So now I have 2 ½ dozen cooked eggs in my fridge. Eggs salad anyone?</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>All is good and I will throw one or two at her tomorrow when I see here.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Yesterday was FOOTBALL!! Yes, Colts lost but that was to be expected in preseason.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>I made THE MOST TASTIEST pork tenderloin, a big ole pan of fresh green beans straight out of my garden and mac&cheese. El Yummo!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>I got to tell you the recipe the guy gave me after I had tasted his….his exact words were...</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>“First you fork your pork to death!!!” “Really fork it good!”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>“Then you rub your pork very liberally with Mrs. Dash, garlic salt and then worchestershire sauce. Wrap that rascal and let sit for at least 6 hours. “</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Now, if you knew this guy, you would have lost it because he didn’t really realize what he was saying and when he did, his face was all shades of red and the entire places lost it.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>So I forked the pork! Really good! </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Any who, today we have a couple of meetings this afternoon, laundry to get done and tomorrow at 6:45 I will be one the most happiest Momma’s…well along with probably 5000 other Mothers in this township!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>I figure since I have done just the minimum of house cleaning in the last three weeks, I should do something this week. My computer room would be condemned if anyone saw it. I did get Andy to do his bathroom. Not totally up to my standards but, meh, I didn’t have to do it!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Trying to catch up with everyone slowly as some of you have been busy too! If I miss anybody, please forgive me.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Friday was a great day. I got up, piddled around here and finally got my shit together. I needed to go to Jimmy’s and work on some pop up thing on his computer. I finally got him in the 20th century about a year ago and now he thinks I know it all when it comes to computers. I am not a geek but most times I can fix my own stuff. The one thing that I haven’t totally figured out is Vista but I do think it sucks. I have had Windows XP since it came out and I know that shit. I am installing windows 7 soon because it is easier.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>So I do all of the girlie things and am about to walk out the door to do that, go get beer and ice for the concert and hit the ATM! Connie calls and said she happened to get off work early and is almost to my house! Yippee…day starting earlier.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>She walks in with a jug of Margaritas and a case of beer!!! Can you see where this is going? It is only 1:30 pm. We are meeting the other girls at 4-4:30!!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>We fix a margarita, run to get ice, go to Jimmy’s, and are back here by 2:30! Life is good! Now before you go yelling at me for drinking and driving, I want to point out that the entire drive to do all of the above errands is ¼ mile circle that only lands me on public property for 3 seconds! And I did that before I had drunk a quarter of it.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Anywho, I had already arranged for Jimmy to take us to the bar to meet the rest of the gang. We meet up at 4:00 and if you think Marty and Carol talked…try getting 7 women together in one place. OMFG!! I have some of the greatest friends. One new person to the group was Tammy’s Mom that was in town from Atlanta. Georgia visiting so we managed to get her a ticket to go with us. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>God I love southern woman and that twang! And funny…OMG, I could just take her home and keep her. I had only met her once at Tammy’s wedding last year but you would think we were long lost friends she hadn’t seen in years!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>The concert….Well, the first part with Garry Allen SUCKED BIG ONES! I have always liked him. He came out swilling on a bottle of Jack and immediately started singing every cry in your beer song he knew!! His wife committed suicide a few years ago and he hasn’t gotten over it yet, obviously! </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>And that day was a kind of sucky day that was at the back of my mind all day was that it was 7 years ago that Tom died and I had a good cry in the morning and then said “Pull up you big girl panties and get on with it”! And I did well until that fucker started singing. I had a quick pity party of one for about 5 minutes but I had a swarm around me that gave me big hugs and then it was over.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Brooks & Dunn were awesome though! As soon as they started, SEVEN middle-aged women were dancing around like fools. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>It was hotter than Hell until the sun went down but all ended well. We managed to crawl in bed around 1 am since I had to get up at 7 am the next morning for the golf shit.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>The day started good as it was only 80 degrees at 10 am. Then I had to deal with a man older than dirt that is pissed off that all that became of his life is being a clerk at a crappy golf course in Indiana and not in Augusta with the big boys and we were interrupting him.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Ok ASSHAT, I have 125 men on this golf course THAT THEY PAID TO PLAY ON that would prefer their water and beer be COLD. I dunno, something about it pushing 90 degrees at noon! I am sorry that your ice machine can’t keep up because this is a crappy clubhouse but, DUDE! You are within FIVE MINUTES of a) Wal-Mart b) Marsh c) Kroger d) Liquor store, and e) 100 other stores that carry ice and you have 4 teenagers running around here that could, I don’t know, maybe GO GET SOME FUCKING ICE!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Well, that was my statement to him. I wasn’t there to make friends with him…Those guys out there in the heat wanting cold beer were PAYING me to get this for them!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>And OH LORD, then we needed more beer because this is NOT a tea and crumpet group! It is Saturday, most of them were out last night and need the hair of the dog and OMG you are making money off them because they are BUYING YOUR BEER!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>The only thing that saved that old man’s ass from being buried at the ninth hole was that the guy that set this up made a call and on the next trip to stock, we were treated with smiles and ice! And a different guy.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Then the fucker just grabbed our money bags and then handed us the rest to split between us girls. Umm…did I mention that I was hot and tired by this point and had enough of this guy?</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>“Umm, excuse me, that is MY MONEY until I hand it to you. You tell me what we owe you, I WILL HAND you that amount and you wait! I have done this for years and this has got to be the worst set-up I have ever dealt with. It is Saturday, in July, you know you have a planned group of around 150 coming with regulars coming in too and you can’t be bothered to be stocked. You do your job so I can do mine or next time I will bring my own stock and you will lose money. M’Kay?”</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Needless to say when I got downstairs, I was met with lots of smiles from the guys. A lot of these guys have known me for years, I was their bartender for years, and we hang out occasionally. They said they were just wondering when it would happen.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Then another friend was having a cookout at his house for most of us so off we went to that. In more heat! We did the “make an appearance” thing and then four of us wanted a good stiff drink in A/C so we did that. We had a few COLD cocktails but then we were all fading fast. We got home and I swear I started stripping the minute I walked in the door. I needed a shower so bad! Oh how good that felt. I was in bed around 11:30!! HEAVEN!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Sunday was a kiss off day. Gregg swept and did some slight dusting and made a FANTASTIC roast for dinner, we played some golf on the Wii and was in bed by 10 pm. Until I woke up at 12:30 with one Mother of a hot flash! Was awake until 4 am trying to get that shit to stop. I’m talking the feet in the bath tub with cold water running, putting ice between the boobs, wanting to hurt someone type of flashes. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>It’s Monday. Yippee! I have a full load this week as the Brickyard is this weekend and some friends always have a big party. He is the one that just had his prostate remove and Jan needs help so I opened the good old big mouth. I shall be busy. And they want FUCKING DEVILED EGGS!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Ok, now that I wrote that novel, I am going to try to catch up with you guys until my phone rings with the first of my duties for the week.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Smile, we are picking daisies instead of pushing them up!</em></span><br />

THANK YOU JEBUS!!! Gregg is back to work and I am in peace. I love it when he is off but then it gets to the point of GO AWAY!! Jimmy was supposed to take him fishing one day but I wore them out doing the floor. Let’s see if I can remember my last week?!?!?</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Monday – Ripped out all of the old carpet and padding. Was anxious to start but my friend John that does it for a living needed his tools that day so we had to wait until Tuesday. Messed around getting a gazillion and ten staples out of the floor. Not Fun!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Tuesday – Got a late start but started. Jimmy and I couldn’t get the stuff to snap together like it was suppose to and we had about 7 rows done and decided to take it up and try again. Ok, round two, we were getting the ends to snap but not the sides. At this point we are about 5 hours in to messing with this. I am hot, tired and just downright frustrated. We quit and I figure I will be seeing John in a couple of hours and ask him what the Hell we are doing wrong. I will not embarrass myself with the laughter I heard from two people that do this stuff every day. Thank God I was drinking! Hey, it was Gregg’s B-Day, I HAD to!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Wednesday – We try, and try, and even had another friend come over to help. One of my other friends, Mark, told me if I needed help to call him and he would come by and help. HELLO, HELP! He walked in and in all of maybe a minute had us going. Well, when I say “us” it is relative. I got to watch as three testosterone fueled males took it over. I got to lay boards out for them and go get them lunch at three different place but WTH, I am getting floor! They work until about 6 that night. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Thursday – They are back at it at 9:30 – 10:00. They work until about 7:30 that night but it is done. And I totally love it. Well, all except the part of having 8 little paws with nails tromping across it. They can’t hurt it but the racket, OMFG!!! Then I went drinking! It was one of the guys B-Day so it was only fair that I took him for a few drinks for all of his work.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Friday – The part I left out of the above is that when John came over on Wednesday to haul away the old stuff he informed us that on Thursday he was having his Prostate removed!!!! WTF???? He had Prostate Cancer!!! I knew from Jan that he had been having a bunch of test but they kept it real quiet! Bastards! The surgery went well but then that night his temp went up and his stomach was filling with fluid. They had to back in and find out why. Well, he had a hole in his colon. One that wasn’t there when he had the first surgery!! Got that fixed but then his heartbeat was too high. And they couldn’t get his oxygen up to the right level. He was fighting the breathing mask so they had to sedate him and put him on a ventilator!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Sunday and yesterday they were able to get him to breathe on his own and took it off on Monday. He is now expected to make a full recovery from surgery. They are 99% sure they got all of the cancer too!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Saturday – This day was all about putting all of my crap back. I can say for once in a long while that EVERYTHING is dusted, windexed and clean. If you want to see it, you better hurry because it won’t last and Lord knows when it will look like this again!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em></em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Sunday - More cleaning and cooking and then we blew the street up and watched fireworks. I cooked hamburgers, hotdogs, brats, baked beans, mac & cheese, tater salad, corn on the cob, cantaloupe, and strawberries with angel food cake! Oh, and I had a few cocktails while watching. Okay, maybe more than a few! Long week people and it was the country’s B-day!!</em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>I tried last week to find a battery for my camera and couldn’t but didn’t have time to run everywhere. Will do it this week and give you before and after shots soon.</em></span><br />

Ride<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Yes, I am up at the butt crack of dawn. No, wait, that bitch isn’t even up yet. Why may you or may not ask? I am doing a good deed today and it is worth it.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>A good friend of mine works with a couple whose daughter is dying from Cancer. Fucking sucks is the best description of the situation. They are the average run of the mill family that is just trying to have the American dream. Both parents work a factory job with decent pay and were gliding along until BAM!! Hodgkin’s Lymphoma comes knocking at their door. Actually, the door of their 6 year old daughter.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>A little history. My Tom helped start the Miracle Ride for Riley here in Indy over 13 years ago. The last one I did with him was a month before he died. Picture in your head about 6000, yes 6000, motorcycles in one place at one time to raise money for sick kids. The committee spent the whole year putting this together. The first weekend in June was spent in a hotel room for quick naps and then working out in the sun. Every minute was worth it. Totally. I did it the first year after he died but it just became too much and me crying through the whole weekend was just too much for me.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Anywho, today I will be working another ride for Maeci. This one is only about 150 riders but that is OK. As someone that knows about the bills and crap dealing with Cancer, they can use every dime we can get. I was recruited to work the “Give me all of your money and shut up” table. My friends know me. I don’t take NO real well. See, they have to pay me their $25 to do the ride, sign the waiver and then I am selling tickets for stuff. We will have a 50/50 drawing and raffle of some other crap. But they will pay to do this. Trust me! **inserting my evil grin here**</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>The only bitch about this is I have to wear a BLACK t-shirt and it is supposed to get up in the 90’s today. So all of you people that are languishing by the pool or sitting in the a/c watching a movie, BITE ME!!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>But if I can do something to help these people that are losing their daughter, so be it. At the end of the day I can go home and hug my kid and be grateful.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Maeci was to be at the last stop of the ride but this week her health has went downhill and she will not be allowed to leave the hospital as originally planned. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>So my friends, that is my day. Tomorrow is a day of rest and then Monday…the new floor will be going in. Try thinking of Moe, Larry, and Curly putting in laminate flooring and that is what my house will look like on Monday. And Tuesday. And probably Wednesday.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Hope you all have a great day and stay cool and enjoy living.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Now, go hug your kid. Because you can.</em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Will do Ten Thoughts but if it goes into 75, it is totally not my fault.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>1. It always seems that I blog less in the summer well…because it is summer and there is stuff do outside and inside and here and there and everywhere! </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>2. I had to go renew my license thanks to that birthday crap and that sucks in this state. Was easy to do and took no time but then they give you a freaking piece of paper to carry and then the mail your license to you!! And EVERYTHING you do here you have to show ID. When we went to the concert Thursday night, I went to the State Police tent to get my stamp that says I am old enough to buy beer and the Freaking cop looked at me like I was an alien. DUDE, you are a cop, this has been the law for a year and you don’t know what I just handed you? Here’s your sign!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>3. This summer I swore that I was going to do a bunch of crap around here that I have wanted to do since I bought the place and dammit, it is getting done.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>4. I have a little over 400 square feet of laminate that I, yes I, am going to attempt to lay in the living room next week. I watch A LOT of HGTV and have seen it done and have watched “how-to” videos on the Innerwebz so off I go! I have a straight shot for the first 200 or so and that will be easy. Then we have the fireplace, which is at an angle and then the kitchen doorway which is also at an angle and then I have 5 doors to do. And then all of the quarter round or baseboard to do. Did I mention this requires electric saws which while I have used in the past, requires the formulation of how to cut angles?? Let’s pray that my new name will not be Happy Three Fingers when this is over.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>5. All of the new lights have been hung and I is in Love!! I have one dilemma though. I have white doors and they just seem to clash with the blue and tan but think it would be over kill to paint them as well. Not in the budget for all new wood doors either. I did paint the back of the front door and it looks good.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>6. Yes, I have before pics and will have after when it is done. And when I either fix the new camera or buy another one. Sigh!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>7. The garden is doing great now that we have had to replant a shitload of crap thanks to SOMEONE, whose name begins with G, over sprayed the weed killer and umm…killed the garden.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>8. Did I mention that we only have about 28 tomato plants out there now? No, I didn’t but I will be in salsa and canned tomato hell right around September. Do you like yours hot or mild?</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>9. We also have cucumbers, cabbage, about 18 green beans, watermelon, jalapeño’s, green pepper, and for some ungodly reason, we ended up with 6 zucchini plants. Do you know how bad that can get? Wonder if zucchini bread travels well through the USPS? </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>10. Gregg is on vacation next week again. Please pray for me! I love that man to death but he is the most restless person I know and always needs to be doing stuff. I am hoping to work on the floor while he is off so he can help with the furniture moving but Lord does he drive me to drinking some days. I have offered Jimmy cash to take him fishing for at least one day so I can work in peace. Butttttt….Jimmy wants to help me with the floor so I am screwed. And not in the good way either.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>11. I am thoroughly done with rain. Seriously, mom Nature, I don’t even own a boat so you need to stop NOW! Yesterday morning we had a big storm for about 2 hours and then again last night. Thunder, lightning and high wind started about 11:00 p.m. and it was still going strong when Gregg left for work at 5:00 a.m.! Thank goodness the dogs can dog-paddle when I let them out to do their bidniz!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>12. Today is laundry day. Everyone around here does their own but I haven’t had time in three weeks to do mine and I am out of undies. It’s either do it or go commando. I love options!</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>13. Told you I have thoughts. Even more where those came from but this long enough already. Here’s to hoping Marty didn’t flash the SWAT Team this morning, Kippy is finding peace and knows that she has the best yet to come, Patti is surviving the storms with her new roommate too, Billie is not finding any more weird things in her pocket unless it is cash, BTC is getting some rest and having fun with Bandit, Erin is enjoying her new job and new cash, Fannie has not hurt anyone with all of the planning she is doing, and hoping Kerry is not buying any more Red Jell-O for a LONG time. If I forgot anything, please feel free to shoot me. Soon, please and thank you! </em></span><br />
