Kerri, I need a drink on the beach stat!!!

Yea, that's right. When I visited Kerri an age ago, she fixed me a nice vodka orange juice combo and took me to sit on the beach. Today, the weather was overcast and very moist and for a moment, I had a deja vu of that wonderous time. Then I remembered that I was in TX, and the twins were far away. ah the sadness...
I finally did my hair and it is pink--like my avatar on yahoo in case you were wondering. The other night at church one of my friends came up to me and said that she had seen me talking to the preacher. She asked if I thought that the preacher could take me serious with my pink hair. At first, I was, okay, your right, I was not offended cause I have often wondered if the preacher does take me seriously. But of course, I think taking myself too seriously would cause much trouble.
Today is only Wednesday and that makes me sad. I don't think that this week will ever end. Ok, that is my bitch for the day.
Now I am going to list a few things that make me happy and I hope that you have a lot of luck with them too.
1. that giant martini glass I always see at wal-mart
2. orange pens--I emailed the Pilot company asking for orange pens and can you believe that they sent me a reply telling me that they don't send out special requests and I woul have to buy the pens in a multipack like every other person. What nerve!
3. the fact that my dog has no feelings for Phil except comtempt--I can really get behind that
4. sonic ice, need I say more
5. cold weather--A person of my weight should really live in a cold climate.
6. green chilis
Well, I shall close here. I am sorry that I don't have a funny story for today but if you read back a few days and change "english/Language Arts" to "math" and "ELA teacher" to "math teacher," you will begin to see a pattern emerge. I am thinking about just sending out a mass email to all of James' teachers and saying I know he is a bit of a clown and yes his father and I are working on it. And yes, we will tell him to study more. I am going to call it my pre-emptive clown strike.
I hope that you all have a wonderful day.

Happy 4th of July!!  Hope you all have a great day.

It has been raining here for a solid week.  The house smells musty; the dogs smell musty; my soul feels musty.  I have been sewing a bit but hit a roadblock the other day.  I can't figure out how to finish my place mats.  The Boy will be here in a week and I can't wait to see him.

Good morning!

I had a dream about high school last night.  We were going out, but before we could the guys in our class wanted us to do their laundry.  Weird!! The Boy has been gone almost a week.  Though I am in Ft Worth, knowing that he isn't in Waco and I can see him when I go home makes me miss him more.  I think I have to start working on my cookbook.  I have lots of ideas and when I was talking with Julie she pointed out that I need to get them on paper.  Writing is on my list of things that I need to get back to do doing.  I don't really have an amusing anecdote this morning but we are going to eat at Don Pablo's later and I am very excited about that!!  Hope you all have a good day!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

2016 Already...

I really wonder if anyone but me even remembers this?

Love,

Trees and Mistresses (Mistrii?)

So I haven’t posted on here in sometime, but after a chat with a friend decided I need to get back to this. I do miss it and think about it often…I put up my Christmas Tree on Saturday/Sunday (yes, it took two days) and worked on it a bit more yesterday and I can now say my house is decorated. Putting up all the decorations has inspired me to share a list with you.


10 Things putting up my Christmas tree reminded me of:

1. Well, Christmas.

2. The reoccurring dream I have where I discover it is Christmas Eve and I don’t have any presents for The Boy.

3. Pie.

4. Waking up really early to the smell of Turkey.

5. Once referring to a doll as Santa’s mistress.

6. A Dirty Santa—the drink not the bum

7. Christmas parties…because I love going to Christmas parties.

8. Watching “Finding Nemo.”

9. Kwanza…because one year Mom accidently purchased and used Kwanza paper.

10. A Colbert Christmas…because we bought it for James a few years ago but only last year did he really understand it.

I hope that you will take a minute to think of a few fond memories of you own.

Love,

tw
