I’m daydreamin’ again with Becca at R We There Yet Mom? This is a reprint of one of my adventures in 2009… Enjoy! The Ick Factor... For those that do not know....I've been gone on a cruise.Standard Cruise Stuff Happened....but for one lone thing....My biggest fear in life is that I'll drown, so I don't swim.That fear doesn't keep me from gettin' on a cruise ship.Or going to the beach.Or ownin'

Texas!! No I don’t day dream about it. But it’s a small spot on the map of life. I love to do the “tourist traps”. Not that going to see a replica of the Eiffel Tower with a Cowboy hat on it is a trap but a thing to do when you take a road trip. I wonder what is in Athens, Texas? DayDreaming with R We There Yet Mom? And to see what I love... look to yesterday's entry just below.

I have finally reached a goal at the gym that I can hold on to and let my laziness take away from me. I achieved 300 miles at the gym!! It may have taken me a long time to get it but I made it! It’s not like the weight challenge at all, becuz I should just give them back the tshirt becuz I gained all the weight back. But 300 miles, no possible way I can fuck that up! Next goal is 500 miles! But I

But I have other commitments at the moment. A sneak peek… I have to type them out or I’ll forget it… so here they are: the GymHo stretches. 300 mile club. New rules for the pool. 20th Anniversary of Our 1st Kiss The Cat Deterrent. Scooter2 I know. I know. You’re just breathless to find out all about the GymHo. But I take my linkups seriously and I have to make sure I make the rounds. Until later.

My new car is a boy car. Roy said, “what makes it a boy car?” “It’s a Transformer. Boys play with Transformers.” “It’s a Camaro just like your other one. An SS just like your other one. It can be a girl car.” “My red Camaro, I could find matching lipstick and nail polish!” “You can get yellow nail polish!” “Yellow Nail Polish Makes Your Fingers Look Like You have Fungus!

It’s a sad, sad day. The end of a very good relationship… I have heard that all good things must come an end. I don’t really understand that concept. Why? Why can’t things go on forever? Friday, I needed to go to Hellmart. I needed Roy to drive the car. It didn’t feel right at all. The car and I are as one and I know when something is wrong with it. You’ve seen Avatar. Imagine me with my tail

This Scooter. He is quick as lightnin’ and yes, he has a shoe fetish. We just live with it. He’s in my shoes or Roy’s boots… every one has their thing. One night Roy was lookin’ out the front door and noticed Scooter was out on the front porch. There’s no tellin’ how long he’s been out there!! Once I came home from work and couldn’t find him! I turned the house up side down and shook it and NO

I’ve not been in the mood to blog lately. I think my life has become borin’ and not worth repeatin’…  so I think I’ll just type. Roy’s birthday was on Friday… The 13th!! I took him out to lunch at Dead Lobstah. Then since he bought me jewels for my birthday, it was only fair that I take him down and pick me out some more… for future reference of course. Our 20th Anniversary of our First Kiss is

and time to answer those Questions from The We Want To Know Gals… Mamarazzi, Queso, and Crazymama! Not a lot going on in life around here, other than the car breakin’ down every week. Almost makes me afraid to drive it. Roy said, “now that clutch is new it will be tight and be harder to push.” That would be a no. So I have to relearn it! UGH!! Just. UGH!!

This is supposed to be my year!!! But Noooooooo! These are 2 of my very most favorite things on Earth… Roy and My Car! It’s 14yrs old with over 177000 miles on it. I have been the one to put nearly 90% of the miles on it. I love this car. I have wanted this car since I could form the word, Camaro. My daddy had one in 1968 and again in 1976. My oldest daughter, EdithAnne was conceived in a ‘69

So today you should link-up with Queso and CrazyMama… to answer questions about your work history. 1. what is the worst job you have ever had? Being a mom. I’m just keepin’ real.

At the same time, the OR Nurse came in to take me to

Thank you so much for all the support and well wishes from all my peeps and lurkers. I have been gettin' a bit better each day… my head isn’t spinnin’ today.

I’ve got things in order around the house for Roy… easy manfood. You know canned soup, microwavable dinners, sandwiches, and of course, Ramen noodles. All things Roy can handle. For the cats, they have been in training for bedtime. We have 4 of them trained to “go to bed” and they walk out to the laundry room for the night and Roy closes “their” door. It’s cute really. I just say, “Manny! It’s

Normally, I tell you about mine. And really like to tell them as a “real” happening… hehehehe, I’m ornery that way. But this is Roy’s dream… or nightmare. The other night I noticed he got up in the middle of the night for not real reason. He goes to bed so early that it makes sense that he gets up and prowls around at night… I do when I can’t sleep. But him, not so much. So I asked him what the

Today is Talk To Us Tuesday and Impulsive Addict had a good idea about making out a Christmas List to post… so… Here’s my Wish List: 1) I would like to have a mom. One that looks like Cher and acts like Lucille Ball. But what I got was Mommy Dearest! No wait. That would mean my mom cared what hangers I used. So She is more like Alan and Charlie Harper’s mom. Cold, selfish and indifferent. 2) I

Link Up Day with Mamarazzi, Queso, and Crazymama… It’s We Want to Know Wednesday!! Thanks for all the positive comments about Roy’s singin’… I haven’t told him yet. When I showed him the video of it the day after, he was a bit embarrassed. “Don’t belittle your husband!” I didn’t! Did I? Click Here!! Anyway… {1} When was the last time you lost your temper?

Sometimes the The Spirit Moves You… When it happens it, happens. Just go with it!             Link Up with Seriously Shawn and Impulsive Addict. Once when we were Branson, at the Lone Star Steakhouse and he had had 2 or 3 drinks, he started singin’ “Hello Darkness, my old friend.” as ne began to sink slowly under the table. I laughed and laughed and laughed… I just let him cut loose and sing

I was sucked into goin’ to a family reunion!! It was mine!! MY FAMILY!!! My sister, RubyJune did it!! My niece has been wantin’ me to come visit with her but becuz I was ill, I just couldn’t do it. So I text my sister to tell her I was comin’ down for Sunday Dinner. She called me. “Sis, come on Saturday so it will be easier on Granny.” Well, I’d walk thru fire for my granny! Anything to make it

The weather was perfect! The water was warm! We had a great time. I love to cruise. I don’t know why more people don’t do it. I’m so surprised that that they don’t. It’s the only way to travel! We were on the Spa deck and it was THE most peaceful room I’ve ever slept in! No party in the middle of the night by the crew… far enough away from the elevator to not hear all that crap… and the room

I’ve been away… and sick as a dog!! {1} What is your feel better remedy when you are sick?  My feel better remedy, DVR’d shows and my bed! Roy forced me to eat ramen noodles and drink sprite.

So while I have an audience of women this next subject is something we all need to take heed. Let’s talk about Formal Night on the cruise. Underwear Ladies!! USE IT!! A good bra goes a long way.

I was ill at Christmas and it lasted well into the New Year. 2 weeks or so into the New Year. Then I had shingles. Another not fun thing that lasted for 3 weeks or so… very painful stuff! Then I discover that I have to have surgery to remove my tumor filled uterus ASAP… that was in March. I’m scheduled for Nov 2nd. I guess on the grand scale of things that 8 months is ASAP. And now I’ve taken my

Way Out!! I’ll be back in October with loads of stories of wild adventures… I hope. Past cruise adventures… showerin’ with a groom on his honeymoon on the beach in Mexico. I was soooooo drunk. I had sand in my swim bottoms… I was fully clothed. It took me, PanchoVilla and a lesbian couple to get Roy back to the cruise ship in Mexico. He was soooooo drunk. And fully clothed. We won’t be going to

This is a repost of a blog entry I did when I worked. Many of you do not know what I did for 12 years.  So I thought this was a very good way to let you know. Link Up with Shawn or Impulsive Addict. This is a great link-up that the followers and other players actually visit you. I don’t understand link-ups that the people do not visit all the peeps that link-up… what the fuck? Why link-up?

I’m gettin' to be a pro at this… 6th cruise!! Headed to Galveston and board a Carnival Cruise ship bound for the Bahamas. I’m so excited!!!! The Babysitter for the cats is ready to go. She’s not too excited about Ruffles but… he pretty much takes care of himself.   He’s even bigger than that now. But still too little to be set free. There has been talk of keepin’ him for a while and even an

Link-Up with WTF and J-Dubb   Friend Me!!! Not a requirement… I’m needy. That’s all. And I would like to say that I’m sorry for any stress and anxiety I caused over my last entry… I’m just ornery that way.

Get a cup of coffee and sit down! You may need a whiskey!! The other mornin’ I was layin’ in bed goin’ in and out of sleep… I could hear a motor runnin’. It sounded really close. George was a little antsy too. So when I became more aware of what was goin’ on, I could see lights in the trees that line the driveway. Someone was in the driveway!! I tiptoed over to where I could see out the window

In less than 20 days, we leave for Galveston!!! WOO FRICKIN’ HOO!!!! I am so lookin’ forward to this!!! One of my FaceBook Friends is going on the same cruise. I can hardly wait to actually meet her in person. I have all the things I want to take and some I don’t… extra fat on my ass. All my fault. I’ve known about this for months.

I was so tired and sore when I went to bed the day we got the carpet, I just knew I would sleep until noon. At 5:30am, I rolled outta bed and slowly walked the carpet to the bathroom. I was still pretty groggy and I sure wanted to go back to bed. And then it happened! I stepped in something wet!!!!!! I was wide awake and hoppin’ to the bathroom to get a washcloth to clean up what ever it was… cat

Though I have been in some stiff arguments with my mother thru texting. It was ugly. {2}What is the last text message in your phone and who is it from? From an actual person and not FB, it says, “I have a weird question. Should I

The kitchen… And Scooter. The livin’ area… There is actually 2 rooms with this sable color. Woo Hoo!!! It’s sooooooo soft. My friend Jesse wants to have a slumber party just so we can sleep on my new carpet! And I almost hate havinta move that crappy furniture back in on it. But Roy said, NO!

I was told that the carpet installers would be here at 9:30… of course that didn’t happen. It was more like 11:00!! And then I was cooped up in my bedroom until 4:30. 2 men to carpet 3 rooms and it took over 6 hours!?!? And we had no water. No showers. No toilet. Awful. Just awful. But… I have new carpet!!!!! Me and Scooter camped out on the bed and watched what Roy likes to refer to as, “how to

And I don’t care if it’s good for me or not. And the size of my ass shows it!! Here’s the deal. I only have one life and I will live it my own way. Do the things I want to do. Eat the

So last week, Jill from Jill’s World selected me as a Versatile Blogger. I feel like I let her down. I wasn’t feelin’ very versatile… at all. It was a bad week. But seein’ how she feels I have what it takes to be versatile, I had better put on my big girl panties and deal with life in a big girl way. Bounce back with vengeance!!   So there are RULES with the Versatile Blogger award. 1.

Saturday evening I made chicken burritos for supper and homemade rotel cheese dip… My own rotel! And I served it all up with a margarita to Roy and my homemade lemonade for me… with rum! YUM YUM!!! After supper, I gathered the sheets from the dryer and took them to the bedroom to put them on the bed. A tiny bit later, Roy staggered to the bedroom, “I thought you were in here poutin’ and I came

I have told numerous people that writin’ in their blog is indeed cathartic… So I’ll heed my own advice. Many years ago,  my oldest daughter EdithAnne, left home in an uproar of hate and lies… burnin’ her bridges as she went. She said things that she can’t take back. I think she initially just wanted some attention and sympathy from a couple of boys or as a way to get out of my house. It worked.

Someone is selling diaper covers using my VelvetTush!! I could just cry. Well I have. I have tried to be flattered by this latest development like when the man in the sandal opened a MySpace with velvettush or when the chick took it for Twitter… but this is hard.

Is my definition priority different than theirs???? Spit Nails!! My carpet still isn’t here!! I was told 3 weeks.

So I didn’t go to Iowa for the funeral but Roy left me a list of things to do and more importantly… THINGS NOT TO DO!! 1) Do not lock your self out!! Yes I’ve done that in the past. And he added, “It’s too hot and you’ll die.” Always a valid point. Do not die. 2) Check Skimmer Morning and Night! The pool skimmer… check! Easy Peasy! He over-filled the pool and so there’s no leaves to clog up the

Yes. I had to go with Roy to buy boots. You know that I love to shop. But you also know that I’d rather be beat with a 2x4 than to shop with Roy for Roy. I’d rather have a root canal. It had to be done. He needed a new pair. The last pair was bought in 2006 and that is pretty good for Roy… to have a pair of boots last 6yrs! And that pair it took 2 states, 6 or 7 different towns and at least 12

Roy favorite aunt has passed away. This means his family is headed to Iowa in the next couple of days. She was a very dear and sweet woman and he thinks more of her than his own mother. Period. I will not be makin’ the trip! As much as I adore his Iowa family, I am not… NOT… travelin’ in triple digit temps with WHOLE McCrankyPants Family!! That and I need to take care of the cats, pool, and the

Oh Lawzy!! It’s Hot!! Oklahoma has had triple digit temps for over 24 days!! It’s awful!! Roy works out in this heat! He’s not as young as he used to be and the heat gets to him much quicker than it should. So when he’s off work, I just let him veg out on the couch instead of takin’ me to town and runnin’ errands. So I told him I was gonna to see the last Harry Potter movie without him… which

When my mother’s dad died, my grandma had an auction to sell off the farm equipment and his things… downsize for a move to town. My grandpa repaired and restored old furniture and sometimes made a few pieces. No one in the family had his passion for furniture so the tools were sold at auction. Sad. Really Sad. I was standin’ there in the garage, grandpa’s tools hangin’ all around the wall and

I text Roy the other day… “I love you.” He text back, “I loved you first.” It’s something we’ve always done… this little “spat”. Done it for years… I replied, “But I love you more.” He text, “Oh no! You won’t burn my okra.” What??? That’s not right!!! Burnt Okra!!??!!?? I text him, “Well you got me there! ICK!!” I burned his next batch of fried okra!! That’ll show him!! Tell me I don’t love him

of Mice and Men Oft Go Awry. And Nadine’s. Plan A: Start my diet.    Get a hysterectomy… no more periods.    Recover in 2 weeks or maybe 2 1/2 weeks.    Get back in the gym for the next 6 weeks… and bust my ass!!    Look super hot for the Cruise in September. And then I got the call. The doctor that is to preform the surgery became ill and will be out for 2 weeks. HUH? Who the hell can predict

There are some changes to the We Want To Know Wednesday… A new Host!! Queso!!  And of course, Mamarazzi… the drill is the same so link-up!   1} What would you do with an extra $1000 a month? This actually happened… We paid the house off and Roy dropped his State health insurance when he went to work for the City. So, there is extra money each month… I know!!! Right??? And what did we do with it

And all done while we were rippin’ out the carpet! Whatta Wiener!!   1) While rippin’ out the carpet I found a dead beetle… a pretty good size one… about the size of a quarter. Well Roy was so busy with what he was doin’ and totally trusts me with just about everything under the sun, held out his hand when I asked. And then promptly, squealed like a 5 year old girl when I placed the dead bug in

I have film… shows my age… digital imagery of our road trip to OKC… to be posted when I have a chance to edit it! That means, when Roy isn't home… you’ll see.

Last week, Roy said, “I need to go to HellMart to get dog food. Do you wanna come along?” Sure. Why not? I was reasonably dressed with Capri pants and a halter top… not too tacky or trashy. My belly wasn’t hangin’ out so you know I was chic for HellMart in Oklahoma. When I got in the truck, Roy said, “Do not ask me why people are starin’ at you?” What? I was fine. Sure I kept makin’ boob

2 or 3 weeks ago, Roy said, “look at this spot. Do it look like a bull’s eye?” That’s what we do. Look at each other’s spots, odd bumps, and weird hairs. He had a spot on the back of his knee that was round and crusty. And I said, “It looks like ringworm.” “No. It’s looks like a bull’s eye.” Men! “Honey, did you pull off a tick from there?” “No.” “Then how could it be a bull’s eye for lymes?

The person that you want tell everything to, but too afraid to talk. Huh? Easy letter to write… that would be no one. I tell everything to Roy. Period. One more letter to go and I’ll be done with this project… it’s taken a year! Geez!

There was a time that I didn’t even own a swimsuit. I didn’t lay out or go to the lake… Just didn’t need one. And then I married Roy. We travel. We spend the weekend in Branson and use the pools and hot tubs so I bought a swimsuit. Just one. Technically, it’s a swim dress. When I was 17 and pregnant I went from a size 0 to a 14 in less than 9mths! Good bye string bikinis! Another reason not to

A few weeks ago, a tornado destroyed Roy’s Brother’s home. And then to add insult to injury, someone burned what was left to the ground. That’s an evil person that would do that sorta thing! Anyway, Roy got his chainsaw ready to go help on Saturday. He was dreadin’ it! He doesn’t mind helpin’ but still… dreadin’ it! So much so, that I beat him at bowlin’ several times Friday afternoon!
