Armed with Cheesecake and Vodka, World Watch Out, I'm Back!

Not sure if anyone even reads here any more, but I want to keep this active since I do not have time to scrap book anymore and he will never let me take his picture. I have no idea where he gets this from *blink blink*. He quit his job at Shoppers and within a week had another job. At the Spirit Halloween store here in the area. Its pretty cool and he is having a good time, right now they are painting and unloading boxes. He has been working lots of hours and I sure hope he is not dissapointed once again when he sees his paycheck. I cannot believe that people can be out there making it on hourly wage. There is no way you can support yourself let alone a fmaily with it.

Well it was an amazing day. The morning started off a bit humid and it seems like the clouds were going to release some rain at any moment. I said many prayers and I was a bit doubtful that they were going to be answered. I got to the Moose and started setting everything up, we must have rearranged the baskets a million times since a few baskets came at the last minute and we needed to make room for them. the set up was complete and everyone was helping at the last minute. Once it got underway there was tons of food, huge hotdogs, and plenty of great songs. I was manning the booth for the tickets and they were going fast, I thought that I might have to go get more tickets but that was not the case. A friend of mine spent two days putting flyers on cars before the event and it was quiet funny because each time he did, it would rain. He even said if only one person came then he was happy. The one person who came was Mark Sickles , and he was a great guy, introduced himself and stayed for

Oh how do I love my house. The same house that as of right now, I have things piled everywhere. I have to be careful right now or it really is going to send me over the edge. I used to take medication for this. When I would get stressed out over the mess, I would throw EVERYTHING away. I'm serious. I do not have any remnants of Bryant's childhood, pictures, special art work or clothing. I have things now from his childhood only because my mother finally deemed it safe to give it to me. Everything in the house has a place for it and the place never moves and when I have extra stuff in the house with no place to put it.. I start going cookoo. BRB my black sheep I just adopted baa'ed. (*ADOLAB) Since the baskets that I am doing do not have a place in the house, and have been on my kitchen counter, I had to find a safe place for them before the structural integrity of the basket became a problem from when I would seend it flying through the air. That safe place is in my laundr

While everyone is getting ready for school and going on last minute vacations I am here, planning out my picnic, and making sure everything is perfect. I have printed out everything that needs to be printed out. I am going to have an information table with donation forms on it, pamphlets on self breast exams, and also some tidbits about where the money is going that I am raising. I just thought of that while I was typing this out. Go ME! I think that I have enough of everything for the picnic, I am sure that I will well exceed what I need to raise for my walk. Since this was the first time that I have done a fundraiser of this magnitude, I am writing everything down so that I don't forget for next year. Bryant has gotten an awesome job now, he is working at one of the local spirit stores that they open up for the Halloween season. He is of course a teenager boy. One who likes to go around the house, or the moose and scare already old people into another inch of their grave.

This is something great for a Monday morning Random Thoughts From People Our Age-I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.- -More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me. -Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. -I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter? -Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mut

I have this really bad habit of saying, "Sure, I don't mind doing that". Of course what I fail to realize is that I am not super woman, and I do only have 24 hours in one day just like every one else. There is no reason for me to "one up" everyone else or prove that I can do everything on my list for the nest week: 1. Cook my magnificent stuffed shells for the Moose dinner Monday night, of course we just cant serve store bought shells and no I am not giving anyone my reciepe so, "Sure, I can cook the shells that night." 2. Have to pack for a trip to Williamsburg this weekend coming up. I have to figure out what I am going to wear if it is armpit sweat hot, or if it is just going to be breezy hot. I have golf shirts that do not have sleeves, but I only wear those for those "right before I think I am going to pass out from the heat." No woman with my arm flab (third boob) should wear sleeveless shirts. But there is a point. I have to do

What happened to the nice calm summer weather that we have been having? Well, hate to break it to you but it is gone and the dog days of summer are here. You will find me laying on my kitchen floor licking ice cubes. And in case you forget next month how hot it really was, your utility bill will remind you plenty. I need to start collecting cans now, while I am walking in the dark in my house! Update on the cats if you are interested. They are finally sleeping at night, instead of tearing apart the house. They are becoming less clumsy, so when Calvin jumps on top of my tv in the middle of the night, nothing comes crashing down. They have a schedule, They sleep most of the night, up at 5am, eat and poop. Then when I get up at 630 one of them hops in the bed to make sure that I am awake. I think that they are realizing that when the alarm goes off that means that the human comes downstairs, makes coffee and gives us wet food LOL. Then they play like holy terrors until about 1030, then th

I have been playing golf this summer as I do every summer. Usually I thought of it as a chore, something to do because everyone else was doing it, or so I could spend time with Brian. This summer is different. I am doing it for myself. I love being outside, and the friends that I have golfing are nice to be around. When we all drove down to Chenvalee I actually kept score and Saturday was the best golf I have ever shot consistently. I shot a 117. Yea, I know that is not good for everyone but for me that was awesome. It's a starting point. One thing I like about spports is that there is always a finish line that is easy to find. I dont have to struggle for days to complete something and I feel so accomplished when it is finshed. I feel that even though I didn't come in first or second, I was outside, relaxing, spending time with friends so that in itself is a hurdle that I have overcome. I have a few more golf tournaments, so I am hoping to do even better. I will ke

I did absolutely nothing, but I know when I am finished writing this it will amount to more than I thought. I went out last night, drinking and playing pool it was a blast and we had fun. I got a ride home, and went right to sleep, well that was after I started drunk typing friends LOL. Got up this morning with a massive headache, took some advil crashed for another hour and then went to work. It was steady today so I am glad it was keeping me busy. Traffic getting down there was a mess and I was upset that I was stuck in it. Drove home in traffic also, stopped at bloom and got food for the next couple of days, then proceeded home, only to get stuck on Beulah and telegraph, waiting for the president to come out of Ft Belvior from his golfing expedition. This has happened more than once, and I am all for promoting exercise and fitness and being outside in the extreme heat, but come on, do it on someone elses dime. Went home immediately put on jammies, took a nap, made the best sa
