Went bowling yesterday..
well I didn't actually bowl, but my husband did, and I went with him.
It was his sister's birthday...so there were maybe 20 people there.
Now, I've been in this "family" for 23 years, ok?
So why, oh WHY am I constantly over-looked and treated like a leper?
My husband gets introduced to everyone...but not me. I'm standing right next to him, but there's no mention of me at all. Not even from my husband. he talks and laughs with everyone..just the little life of the party, and then we get in the car and it's complete silence. Nothing new there tho.
Ya, know...I take one step forward and start to feel sort of ok about myself. I'm trying to get my photography off the ground and I actually have 3 bookings this week! woohoo!!!
then something like this happens, and I'm right back under the rock again. And this rock is BIG...HUGE.
I am feeling very invisible today so I've got to get out and do something about it. it's a nice day, so I'm off with my camera....

First Football Game of his Senior Year.
First football game of the season last night.
We won!!! 47-8!!! We whooped Gilmour Academy ($22,000 a year to attend that school). NO ONE thought we would win. All the area papers picked Gilmour. HAHAHAHA!!!!!! They were our only loss last year....but NOT THIS YEAR!!!
My kid did good. he had 2 sacks and caused an interception that resulted in a touchdown for us. woohoo!!!! He was PUMPED UP.
I think he'll have a good senior year.

Lots of nonsense
some things on my mind today:
In the paper the other day, there was an article about a little boy who was found beaten by his step-father. the father hit him and put hinds fingers down the little boys throat and yanked on his uvula. think about that for a minute. WHO DOES THAT? I think they should do the same thing to this so-called "man" and I use that term loosely.
My dog keeps whining.....all. day. long. She is very obese, and I think she might have fleas...and she can't reach them to scratch. I've put flea stuff on her....I've done all I can think of, and yet she still whines.
It's getting closer and closer to Trooper's last day. Makes me sad.
Last night, I was taking pictures of a football game for a friend of mine...my Senior son was there with his football buddies after practice. The one kid said to me, "Wow! you have the prettiest eyes!" Evan looked at him real mean..."Don't say stuff like that to MY MOM. Are you nuts?!" HAHAHAHA!
Another friend is offering to "invest" in my photography business. He wants me to get together with another woman from high school...she does photography too, and maybe we could team up. I'm going call her and get together for lunch and talk about it. it would be great to have someone else to do weddings with , ya know? Kinda hard to do a wedding all alone and still come out with good photos.
My husband has been talking to me for the last few days. That's a good thing. Some days he says nothing to me..I don't exist....but he's talking to me now, so I'll take that.
I am sweating like a fricking PIG! Do pigs sweat? I don't know, but if they do....then I am sweating like one. I'm drinking a cup of tea and sweating.....
Project Runway tonight!
I haven't heard from "the job prospect" yet....They were supposed to call me this week. But it's already Thursday...hmmmm. But if the photography thing works out...I won't NEED that job!

Facebook Friends
And another thing....
this Facebook thing.
I don't "Facebook" very often...just once in a while.
I don't do Farm Town or yo'ville or anything else that sucks the time away.
But I DO get some friend requests that puzzle me.
some are from people who HATED me in high school...were really mean and cruel to me. And now they want to be my friend on Facebook? WHY?
Other requests come from kids....kids at church...kids that I don't really talk to, or have any kind of relationship with. Or "other people" from church that I am NOT friends with.
Is this just to build up their number of friends? I don't get it at all.
Who cares how many friends you have????
Do you "confirm" every one who requests to be your friend...even if you aren't "friends"?

Oink Oink Oink!
The Today Show this morning..
The Swine Flu.
Oh are we in for it.
I know that the schools have been trying to prepare for the swine flu....and the CDC predicts that 90,000 people will die from it this fall, and 50% of the entire population will come down with the swine flu.
on a level of 1-5 of epidemic, we are at level 4.
Why hasn't this come out before now??! maybe they didn't want to have a would wide panic, huh?
They are not closing schools yet, but that might have to be an option the future.
I can't imagine it.
Friends of ours were here in July...they live in Florida. They left their two boys at home with a friend, and the boys were at camp.
Swine flu broke out at the camp. The friend got swine flu, but the boys never did.
Their home was under quarantine and they didn't see their boys for days.
CRAZY!
So the schools are saying that if your child has a temp, flu-like symptoms, runny nose...keep them home. Get them to a dr. and get tested for the Swine Flu.
Wellll...........that's all well and good, but my kid ALWAYS feels like this. and I can't run him to the dr. every time he has a runny nose OR keep him home from school. Our school system only allows 18 days absence a year. I wonder if they are going to change that....maybe we'll just have to see what happens.
But it's kind of scary...kids with asthma are one of the groups to watch, because there could be alot of deaths there. So should I send him to school with a face mask, like Michael Jackson? Don't tempt me...I WILL do it. he won't wear it, but I will get him some!

In my dreams...
The Mega-Millions is $240,000,000.
should I play a couple of $$$?
I think I will, just for the fun of it.
and if I win,
There will be a BIG BLOW OUT BLOGGER PARTY!!
I will invite all of my friends and readers...everyone.
We'll all fly first class to Bora Bora(with lots of pre-flight drinks for .Maddie and Boy Toy and Auntie Flame)
we'll stay for a week in those little grass huts right out on the water.(with cute Brazillian cabin boys for Tranny and Howard and Dan and Luis. Howard would provide all the music for our endless days and nights.
Every day will be spent on the beach, drinking Fruity Robinas and anything else we can think of (with lots of ice for Bina )and Christi will recover in peace!
Ever night will be spent eating and drinking and dancing on the beach.Dog and Buff will cook for us (if we ask nicely)and maybe we can even get Minx to throw in something too. Anette could make us some yorkshire pudding.
We'll stay up late(cuz Kailyn never sleeps anyway)and Ruthi lives in Jamaica so she'd be used to the tropical locale...
sleep late(cuz Zombie never gets any sleep, and Jennie, Lainey and Mel could use some kid-free time. and Flea could use some time before her baby gets here!
and then spend the days together. Mark and Spouse could walk the beach...and Froggie and I can talk about how much we DON'T miss our engineer guys! and Joan can get some much needed rest before all of her football games.
Gossiping with Swishy, Jax, and Jacki...
lots of book reading with Beth. Nothing better than a good book and a beach. and maybe Travis could even write a book while we're there!
taking pictures and making memories. Miss Ginger could entertain us! and
Darn Girl could entertain the guys and Lesbian in her bikini!!! ;)
There would be plenty of fish for Mary and Q, which oreneta will catch while she's out on a boat.
then we'll all fly to NYC
and do some MAJOR shopping.Cheryl could help with that. NYC aint seen nothing yet!
Then we'd all crowd into Tranny's apartment and soak our tired feet!
all on my dime.

Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday to my FIFTEEN YEAR OLD!!!!
Austin....when did this happen>! No, really...tell me....WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?
What happened to My BABY? He isn't a baby anymore. In 6 short months you are determined to have your driving permit, with your license to follow on your 16th birthday. I can't think about it. I refuse to think about it.
But you are still a little boy is so many ways.
you were never a big "tv watcher" like your brothers....they totally zone out in front of the television. Not you. You watch "Man vs. Wild" and then out you go! you're in the back yard...climbing a tree, gathering pine needles to make "tea" over a fire that you build from dried bark and pine needles and whatever else you find in the yard. You are "Suviviorman"!!! I love to watch you....me sneaking to the window and peeking out so you don't see me and get embarrassed. never be embarrassed for having fun and for having an imagination. Enjoy it now, while you can, before life and bills and money take over.
I love you Austin. you taught me what it means to be un-selfish. You were so sick as a baby....I prayed, constantly, every single day, "Lord, please heal my baby....give his allergies to me Lord. I can take it, he can't. Let him breathe and grow big and strong." Well, they always talk about the "Power of Prayer" but I never really knew what it meant until I had my first sinus headache and had to go on Advair!!! !! If I had been SMART...I would have prayed for just your HEALING...not that God would give it to ME! ;)
But you have grown. You're taller than me....and you'll pass your dad up soon enough. I pray that you get taller than both of your brothers..and can look down on them someday, and call them Shorty!
I love you Austin. yes, you make me catch my breath when you ride that dirt bike and throw your legs up over the handlebars.....and every day, you have some new scrape, cut and bruise. But that's YOU.
and I love every bit of YOU.
Happy Birthday!!

High school football
Football has started. Scrimmage yesterday, and the first official game next Friday night.
This is my kid's Senior Year. He's a SENIOR. Where has the time gone? I don't remeber him getting to be this old?...where was I when this happened? Oh ya...in a depressional fog....
He's running back and defensive back...I think! I KNOW he's a running back, but the defensive part? meh...I don't really know. he always has to tell me a name of a player who plays that position...Brian Urlacker. That's the position he plays...whatever that means. He's thinking about Thiel College in PA...he could play both football and run track, which is his real love. Plus, his uncle has a track award named after him at Thiel, so Evan really really wants to win that award!College.
Oh Lord help me.

The sum of it all
What can I say?
I loved watching PRs6 (that's for you MarkDE! ) Superstar show first? all right.
Santino. Maybe no one ever told you that it's not nice to play dirty. "Why SweetP...you don't look a day over 52!" Mean. Just. plain. mean. Sweet P wouldn't hurt a fly...and while she is a great designer...she's not on your level. She designs totally different than you, so you're really not even in the same competition. Leave her alone. While I get that being loud and obnoxious is your "thing"...your "shtick"...your "niche"...play nice. You catch alot more flies with honey than you do vinegar...but maybe you're not interested in catching flies, huh?
And Uli. I love you...I really do. I love the girliness of your stuff...all flowy and feminine. But again...being mean to Sweet P didn't get you very far, did it? Don't fall under the spell of Santino and his ways....be yourself. It's much nicer.
Chris. Chris, Chris, Chris. Get thyself to a doctor PRONTO. Auntie Flame is very worried about you. don't upset Auntie Flame cuz you will have many angry Gays on your case! Honey....if you can fall asleep sitting up...at a model casting...and SNORE at that....there is a problem. I know that PR runs you ragged and that you don't get much sleep....but Honey, we love you. We love your humor, your laugh and most of all, your talent....so take heed, ok? This is said with much love. and your designs? MAHVELUS DAHLING!!! Who knew you could do something that a Normal person would actually wear! and tell us....is Beyonce's body outta this world?
Daniel. I love me some Daniel. But you should NOT have won. Nope. That $100,000 belongs to Korto. sorry. You are cute as get out, but she blew you away with her Restaurant dress. Nicole Kidman should be wearing HER dress to the premier of Nine.
Nad Korto...you should have won it girlfriend. you should have won it. You are NOT Project Runway's #2 girl.
***************************
I will be baby sitting the Grand Dog this weekend. Rae and Mike are in town for a wedding. YAYAYAYAY!!!!! I miss My Girl.

Project Runway
Ok...I love me some Daniel, but I really think Korto should have won that contest.
That restaurant dress she made??? INSANE! I.N.S.A.N.E!!!
And I know you probably won't believe this, but I did pick Christopher to win the first competition. I loved his flirty little dress.
And can I just say this:
I love Lindsey Lohan's voice. That girl must smoke at least 3 packs a day, cuz she has that gravelly voice that I like. But other than that...that girl is a trainwreck.
So it was all worth the wait, I do have to say.
I'm in Heaven.
and my friend heather.....the show starts and I get a text message:
ha ha ha...tee hee...hahahaha!!!!!
Love ya girl!

STAY HOME NEXT TIME AND LET ME DO MY WORK!
Reasons why I hate my husband to do the grocery shopping:
1. all he bought was pork. Pork chops, pork roast, sausage, kielbasa...oh, and hot dogs.
2. we have 4 packs of hamburger buns but nothing to put on them.
3. I now have a 10 pound bag of rice in my freezer.
4. he bought salad dressing, but nothing to make a salad.
5. he DID buy apples and bananas.
6. no cereal...
7. no vegetables...
8. no milk. but lots of eggs.
9. 2 pounds of bologna. we don't eat bologna.
10. did I mention all the pork?
this was while I was in TN visiting Bina. So last Friday, he took off work so he could go to #2 son's football scrimmage..and then went grocery shopping with me.
Mantra of the day:
STEP AWAY FROM THE PORK AND ALL PORK BY-PRODUCTS AND NO ONE WILL GET HURT!!!!
God love him.....

In Italy, we're all very close to our parents and value their wisdom....ya right.
I have found a new guilty pleasure, and I have to share it with ya'll.
So, I'm flipping through the channels this morning...and come across this:
Antonio Sabato Jr. has a show!!! OMG! What kind of train wreck did they advertise for anyway???!!! Where do they find these women??!
Now, usually, women on these shows are all fake and only after the fame right? well.....these women are too! There is one woman, I can't remember her name, but she is 29, doesn't have a job, and "doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up".
Yes.
So, he's meeting these women "by the pool" (excuse to have them all parade around in bikinis) and in walks this woman:
She's all mysterious like and wearing this big floppy black hat, all Dynasty like. She motions for Antonio to come here, and she starts talking to him in Italian.
ITS HIS MOTHER!!!!!
OMG!!!
She starts telling him to "get rid of the one with the long blond hair and the fake boobs..she's not right for you"....SO HE DOES!!! Right then and there! Just tells her to leave! OMG!
Then he goes on to say that his mother is his best friend, and he values her advice and yada yada yada and blah blah blah...and all I'm thinking is:
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES LADIES (ya right..they aren't LADIES) HE'S A MAMAS BOY!!!!
It was some delicious trainwrecks up in there!!! His mother will be on every show! I LOVE IT!!!!
so, at the end, they're having this dinner, and blah blah blah....29 year old goes off crying,(she does that ALOT) and The Mother is asking one woman what she does for a living...well, the chick is a Playmate. Mama don't likie her so much.
So Antonio tells the waiters to "Bring out the dessert"
so the waiters bring out these silver thingies and set them down in front of each woman.
then, get this....Antonio tells them:
"In front of each of you is a dessert...some of you will find a lei (it takes place in Hawaii) and some of you will find nothing. Ok ladies, receive your JUST DESSERTS."
OMG!!!
So, these two chicks didn't get a lei, and they're all upset, boohoo....well, one chick tells Tony Boy that she doesn't believe in just being with one person, and maybe he isn't the right man for her...ya right. you're just embarrassed cuz you got DISSED in front of everyone!!!
And Antonio was all like,
"Well, why are you here then??!! You will NOT be getting Leied"!!!!!
Does it GET any better than this??? I think not!!!
Oh, I have found me a new guilty pleasure all right....
(sorry the pictures are so small...it was all I could find. and in looking for pictures of Antonio Sabato Jr...I come across LOTS of pix of him and other dudes...like getting very very closetoeachother...why is he looking for a WOMAN??)
So, I'm flipping through the channels this morning...and come across this:
Antonio Sabato Jr. has a show!!! OMG! What kind of train wreck did they advertise for anyway???!!! Where do they find these women??!
Now, usually, women on these shows are all fake and only after the fame right? well.....these women are too! There is one woman, I can't remember her name, but she is 29, doesn't have a job, and "doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up".
Yes.
So, he's meeting these women "by the pool" (excuse to have them all parade around in bikinis) and in walks this woman:
She's all mysterious like and wearing this big floppy black hat, all Dynasty like. She motions for Antonio to come here, and she starts talking to him in Italian.
ITS HIS MOTHER!!!!!
OMG!!!
She starts telling him to "get rid of the one with the long blond hair and the fake boobs..she's not right for you"....SO HE DOES!!! Right then and there! Just tells her to leave! OMG!
Then he goes on to say that his mother is his best friend, and he values her advice and yada yada yada and blah blah blah...and all I'm thinking is:
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES LADIES (ya right..they aren't LADIES) HE'S A MAMAS BOY!!!!
It was some delicious trainwrecks up in there!!! His mother will be on every show! I LOVE IT!!!!
so, at the end, they're having this dinner, and blah blah blah....29 year old goes off crying,(she does that ALOT) and The Mother is asking one woman what she does for a living...well, the chick is a Playmate. Mama don't likie her so much.
So Antonio tells the waiters to "Bring out the dessert"
so the waiters bring out these silver thingies and set them down in front of each woman.
then, get this....Antonio tells them:
"In front of each of you is a dessert...some of you will find a lei (it takes place in Hawaii) and some of you will find nothing. Ok ladies, receive your JUST DESSERTS."
OMG!!!
So, these two chicks didn't get a lei, and they're all upset, boohoo....well, one chick tells Tony Boy that she doesn't believe in just being with one person, and maybe he isn't the right man for her...ya right. you're just embarrassed cuz you got DISSED in front of everyone!!!
And Antonio was all like,
"Well, why are you here then??!! You will NOT be getting Leied"!!!!!
Does it GET any better than this??? I think not!!!
Oh, I have found me a new guilty pleasure all right....

Can I have your autograph?
I have a celebrity-in-the-making in my family ya'll!!!!!
My son-in-law, Mike.
Yep. The writer. the fabulous writer.
Gonna be on Fox News (Boo!!!!!) tomorrow!
Seems there is a serial killer on the loose in Rocky Mount, where he is a writer for the paper there. He's been covering the story, and CNN picked it up!
Joey's hero...Uncle Mike.
he was supposed to be on The Nancy Grace Show tonight...CNN called him, Nancy Grace called him....but he got "bumped" for another story. Some lady vanished in Georgia and they're covering that instead. Instead of 5 dead women and 4 missing women...all believed to be victims of said serial killer. Oh how I love a good serial killer, right? ;) I mean, the reason he got "bumped" couldn't possibly be that all 9 women are Black and alleged prostitutes, could it?..while the missing woman in Georgia is White? I don't knowww......
************ ADDED LATER
Ok, I was just watching Nancy Grace. I'm sure Mike wasn't bumped from her show because his story was about Black prostitutes. this woman in Georgia was out walking and was abducted while she talked to her boyfriend on her cell phone. This woman in in grave danger. GRAVE DANGER. Look, I know a little something about abduction.....there were no witnesses. this woman needs help. It doesn't look good for her. So, my apologies to her and her family for being rude and thinking it was about race. it clearly wasn't. I pray that they find her alive.
So tomorrow, .....my Girl's Man will be on tv.
Bowie's dad will be on TV!!
Can Obama be far behind? I think Mike should wear his Obama t-shirt when he's on Fox....what do ya think?

Its all in your perception of things
Someone really made me think today, and it is too early int he day for thinking this deeply.
Lori was talking about "How to comfort a friend" and it really got me to thinking.
We were at a wedding recently, and saw a few people from church there. So we're talking and laughing and it felt really good to see these people. I felt like I was "home" sort of, ya know?
so in the car on the way home, I asked my husband if anyone asked him why we don't go to that church anymore, and he said, "No, but I'm sure they wanted to."
Then he proceeded to tell me that he'll probably never go back to our church because he felt abandoned when his mom died. ????? he said, "no one showed up for her funeral." ????? There were calling hours for his mom and alot of people from church showed up. Just cuz they didn't actually show up for the funeral?...first of all, the funeral was lonnnnggggggg, and I felt that the funeral was more for the family and very close friends anyway. The people from church showed their support by coming to the calling hours...and sending cards. he got hundreds of cards from all kinds of people. and phone calls. and flowers.
So I asked him,
"Who did you want to be there and they didn't show up?"
He couldn't really name anybody. My point exactly.
When my mom died, we didn't have calling hours or a funeral or even a memorial service. She emphatically said she did NOT want anything like that, so I tried to abide by her wishes. Now I wish I would have done something, cuz there's just no "closure", ya know what I mean? I feel like I can still go over to her house if I want to, but just haven't been able to. Or if the phone rings, I think it might be her. Stuff like that. When I went to church after my mom died, the woman who usually sat behind me asked where my mom was, how come she wasnt there that day. then I had to say that she had died a few weeks before. That was hard, but it wasn't enough to make me not want to go to that church anymore, ya know? Just cuz people weren't falling all over themselves to try and "comfort" me....well, anyway....
I told my husband,
"I don't know what you're talking about. I have no. one. The only person I have is in North Carolina. You have family and friends and siblings. I have no. one. I don't even have you."
And it got me to thinking about comfort.
How does my husband want to be comforted? What else could anyone do? They did what they were supposed to do. He said that no one came to our house....
That's a big thing in his culture. when someone dies, you go to the house and you sit...for HOURS...talking about that person and visiting with people, and eating. and you do this for DAYS. then you have the calling hours and the funeral that goes on forever. It's a big production.
I've had people ask me, "how are you?" But do they really want to know?..or are they just asking to be polite? I don't really know. But I guess my husband is mad that no one was there for him...even tho I think they were. It's all in our perception of things, I guess.
So, how do you like to be comforted?
I like my space. That's just the way I am. Then after a while, I like someone to ask me how it's going, and really wait for the answer. I just want someone to know that I'm hurting and I'll deal with it in my own way. I don't want a whole lot of people fawning over me. I don't like all that attention on myself. My husband on the other hand, loves it! ;) He is a very "high maintenance" person. he loves to be the center of attention, and loves to get alot of attention. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it just the way it is. and can be a little overwhelming at times, cuz it gets to be very exhausting!
I want/need the people I'm closest to to be there for me, and they know who they are and they know what to do. Maybe just someone to cry with once in a while would be nice. And someone to laugh with. .Someone to call and say, "Hey, how are you?" These people KNOW me.
Thanks for making me think Lori

you have GOT to be kidding me....NOT AGAIN!!!!!
Ok people....
WE HAD ANOTHER FREAKIN BAT LAST NIGHT!!!!
It took alot for me to even enter into my room, but I did. I laid in bed and read a book for a while...then I turned out the light to go to sleep.
and I heard a "noise"....
you can bet big money I had my glasses right by my bed and I threw those suckers on right away!
"There's another bat in here!"
my husband:
"Where are those f%$#&@# coming from??!!!"
Yes, he totally dropped the F-Bomb! He killed that sucker and I hightailed it downstairs and slept on the little love seat. Not good.
So when he gets home today, we are doing some major investigating to find out how those little f@@#$%#@ are getting in!!!

Doesn't wine have alcohol in it?
Bina is always asking me how I find these people who send me stuff!!! I don't find them....they are just fantastic people who are so giving and loving!
When Bean was here, we came home and there was this box on my porch. Well, I had gotten an e-mail from Maddie..telling me to expect a little "sumpin sumpin" in the mail. And it was something that "In'Ja" would enjoy...so I'm thinking it was pictures of our trip to NYC or something like that.
I was wrong. SOooooooooooooooooo wrong!
Would you look at all this stuff?! And this wasn't even ALL of it!!!! There was so much more makeup and a cute little makeup bag and all kinds of stuff! a little "cocktail kit" with little monkeys that hang from your glass, little umbrellas...cute!
Bina and I had so much fun opening that box and going through everything. There was all kinds of perfume and makeup and creams and serums and that big honkin bottle of Chanel Bath Milk!!!! It smells so good, let me tell ya, and your skin is so soft when you get out of the tub.
So I have to say a big THANK YOU MADDIE!!!!!!! If I use absolutely every skin cream in the box, will my skin look as fabulous as yours??? I didn't think so, but it's worth a try, right?! ;) I love ya girlfriend!!!!
***************************
I got no sleep last night. I am a walking zombie today. I had to do some grocery shopping yesterday cuz we had nothing to eat. so I did that. Came home and noticed that all the alcohol that I bought while Bina was here was gone. All. of. it. surely hubs didn't drink it all while I was gone.....so when he got home, I asked him where it was and he said he "put it away". down in a cupboard. "Why?"
he said, "Well, I'm not a drinker, so I put it away."
"Um, you drink WINE. That has alcohol in it. You drink."
So he hid it so no one would see it when they come over, and think "the wrong thing" about him. Well, he doesn't really have to worry cuz no one comes over here! No one cares if you have a drink! you won't go to hell cuz you have a drink every now and then! No one will think badly of you!
So he said I was "yelling" at him and he laid on the bed and pouted. Another night down the crapper., but what else is new, right? wow, I'm so glad I came home to a husband who missed me so much and couldn't wait to spend some time with me. NOT. He hasn't asked me one thing about my visit to TN. Nothing. I guess he just doesn't have an interest in me or what I do. Get over it Beth.
So then last night, my dog Trooper....well, he has some kind of rash on his belly, and it's been driving him crazyyyyy. And then his back legs "went out" and he couldn't get up or walk....so Austin and I sat on the kitchen floor with him, and washed his belly with warm water (he loved that) and I didn't have anything else besides Benedryl cream so I put that on his belly, and tried to get him upstairs. he finally got there and I slept on the love seat and Austin was on the couch. Well, not really sleep, cuz he was scratching all. night. long. But not really scratching cuz he couldn't really reach it, so he was scratching the carpet. I'm going to call the vet in a minute and see if I can get him in today. I think he might be on his last legs and it makes me very very sad.
I can't lose my stupid dog. I love that dog. I can't imagine life without him.

Reality sucks
I'm home.
Back to reality.
My flight got in early yesterday, by almost a half-an-hour, believe it or not! So my oldest son was already there and waiting for me. YAY! So we're on our way home and my husband calls to say that he's off to go pick up some pizza and he'll see me when I get home. Fine. then a little while later he calls and wants to know where we are.
"We're just getting off the turnpike, why?"
"I'm stuck at the pizza place...the car won't start."
So we go to the pizza place to try and jump the car. nuthin. We try two other cars. nuthin. so we get it towed to this place and they will look at it today. Probably the starter or the alternator. Welcome home. woo....hoo.
No hug, no glad to see you! no NUTHIN. Welcome to my world.
*****************
I had a FANTASTIC EFFIN TIME with Bina and her family. Now let me tell you about this girl, Bina. She grew up poor...and I don't just mean poor...I mean PO!!!!! they were really really pooooooooor. Now, she has a great job, and a BEAUTIFUL home that she bought all on her own...I could not be more proud of her, tho I had nothing to do with her success! she is makin it and doin a darn good job of it too!
But first....all I did was cuss. From the time we left Sunday morning to the time I got on that plane! Bina said she'd have to dip me in holy water in bleach before she sent me back home! and everything/everyone was a whore. I don't care who you are or what you did..."You stupid Tennessee whore!" "You camera whore!" "You pork eatin whore!"....ahhh, those were fun times. Her little girl Ariana said we should stop saying that bad word to each other...it's not nice. I told her we were warped and that's how we tell each other "I love you!".
****************************
So about the cussing...I get home last night and I drop something..."SHIT!" we're watching tv.."What the eff is he doing?" the boys were laughing at me! I didn't actually SAY the F-word...but they begged me to say it. And we got new cell phones and they were showimg me how to use it,..."...just plug the USB into the computer and you can download music...you DO know what a USB is, don't? What it stands for?"
I said, "Um....You Suck Balls?"
They think I should hang out with Bean more often! ;)
************************
So we went to the Opryland Hotel. WOW. That's all I can say about that. It was HUGE and so beautiful....waterfalls everywhere, flowers and plants all over. Just beautiful.
But I have to say the best time was the time I spent with Ariana.
That girl had me from Hello! She is a trip!!! And I love her to death.
This is a dollhouse we made out of a box!! FUN!
She didn't want me to leave and she made me cry by leaving me a sweet message on my phone. I told Bean I NEED visitation rights with this girl!!!! And her older daughter, Alaina....wow. What a beautiful girl...and funny too!!!! I forgot what it's like to have a 13 year old girl in the house.....I had the best time ever.
And Bean and her husband are so giving and so thoughtful. They know money is an issue with me (cuz I have none!)...they paid for my flight home, and this girl goes to McDonalds every morning...for sweet tea and Coke. or Sonic for sweet peach iced tea....and she would always get me something. Tea, or a cherry limeade(YUM)...bought me lunch, and she bought me a Dolce and Gabbana purse for my birthday! Yes, I know my birthday is in December...she doesn't care!!!!! Bean will give you the shirt off her back if she thought you'd like it. Damn am I lucky to have her for my friend. We laughed every. single. day...and night.
Her friend Leah came over (Hey Whore!!!!) and we ate dinner together and drank fruity Robinas and just sat and talked. And laughed. for hours. THE BEST TIME EVER!!!!! And Leah makes some awesome jewelry and gave me a bracelet and a bookmark. COOL!!!! She needs to open her own store, that's for sure.
So I have too many pictures to share and lots of video, that I am having trouble uploading for some strange reason. I have to wait until my oldest boy gets home from work so he can show me what I'm doing wrong, but I will get the "Mr. Roboto" video up as soon as I can.
Back to reality.
My flight got in early yesterday, by almost a half-an-hour, believe it or not! So my oldest son was already there and waiting for me. YAY! So we're on our way home and my husband calls to say that he's off to go pick up some pizza and he'll see me when I get home. Fine. then a little while later he calls and wants to know where we are.
"We're just getting off the turnpike, why?"
"I'm stuck at the pizza place...the car won't start."
So we go to the pizza place to try and jump the car. nuthin. We try two other cars. nuthin. so we get it towed to this place and they will look at it today. Probably the starter or the alternator. Welcome home. woo....hoo.
No hug, no glad to see you! no NUTHIN. Welcome to my world.
*****************
I had a FANTASTIC EFFIN TIME with Bina and her family. Now let me tell you about this girl, Bina. She grew up poor...and I don't just mean poor...I mean PO!!!!! they were really really pooooooooor. Now, she has a great job, and a BEAUTIFUL home that she bought all on her own...I could not be more proud of her, tho I had nothing to do with her success! she is makin it and doin a darn good job of it too!
But first....all I did was cuss. From the time we left Sunday morning to the time I got on that plane! Bina said she'd have to dip me in holy water in bleach before she sent me back home! and everything/everyone was a whore. I don't care who you are or what you did..."You stupid Tennessee whore!" "You camera whore!" "You pork eatin whore!"....ahhh, those were fun times. Her little girl Ariana said we should stop saying that bad word to each other...it's not nice. I told her we were warped and that's how we tell each other "I love you!".
****************************
So about the cussing...I get home last night and I drop something..."SHIT!" we're watching tv.."What the eff is he doing?" the boys were laughing at me! I didn't actually SAY the F-word...but they begged me to say it. And we got new cell phones and they were showimg me how to use it,..."...just plug the USB into the computer and you can download music...you DO know what a USB is, don't? What it stands for?"
I said, "Um....You Suck Balls?"
They think I should hang out with Bean more often! ;)
************************
So we went to the Opryland Hotel. WOW. That's all I can say about that. It was HUGE and so beautiful....waterfalls everywhere, flowers and plants all over. Just beautiful.
But I have to say the best time was the time I spent with Ariana.
That girl had me from Hello! She is a trip!!! And I love her to death.
This is a dollhouse we made out of a box!! FUN!She didn't want me to leave and she made me cry by leaving me a sweet message on my phone. I told Bean I NEED visitation rights with this girl!!!! And her older daughter, Alaina....wow. What a beautiful girl...and funny too!!!! I forgot what it's like to have a 13 year old girl in the house.....I had the best time ever.

Road Trip!!!
I am at Bina's house!!!!
We left yesterday morning around 7AM and it was about 11AM before we realized that we hadn't even turned the radio on!!! We talked the whole way, and laughed until we cried and our stomachs hurt. We videotaped ourselves singing "Mr. Roboto", which will be coming shortly, tho I think we are the only ones who will think it's funny.
So we get to TN, and chill with her husband. Her girls will be home today. YAYAYAY!!!! And can you believe I miss my boys already? WTH? But it's nice to get away. Evan was like, "Dang!! You get alot of vacations this year!"
So we're going to the Grand 'Ole Opry Hotel sometime...can't wait for that. Great photo op there.....
And belive it or not, I miss my husband!
