So….Wp and I aren’t getting along tonight.  Pissy little bitch!  I rarely have issues with Wp (I mean hell, I’m like her biggest fan, what’s up with *that*?!) but tonight of all nights I do.  Unable to upload pics.  So instead you get links by their lonesome. 

(btw, this might also effect when TFT gets posted, my intention was to post on Sunday but with this little set back….you have been forewarned)

Obviously this week especially- click the links, hit the girls up.  Leave a comment and gush if you haven’t already.  They are so totally worth it!!!

PC spent the entire week traveling.  It seems there are some major, life changing decisions to be made in our future….  *sigh*  His son went home Monday.  It’s amazing how quickly the time went by.  The kiddos loved being together again.  They really enjoyed each other and it was sad to see him go home so soon.

Had a bizarre/uncomfortable/intimate/TMI experience with the check out girl at Walgreens Thursday afternoon.  Will spare you the details but um…yeah.  While I appreciate overtly flirtatious (HELLO!)….maybe not so much in ‘this’ situation.  Right.

The other day LP and I had just left the house, rounding the lake in my Jeep and passed PC on his way up back home.  I blew him a kiss as he drove by.  LP ironically asked when I thought PC would be home.  Um….did you not just see us pass him and me blow him a kiss?  Yes.  She saw me blow the kiss.  No.  She did not see him per se.  Really!?  You just think I blow kisses to random strangers that drive by?!  Wait.  Never mind.  Don’t answer that.  (doh)

PC, the little Princess Dog (aka Phoebe) and I are flying out early Friday morning for Roxy-ville (aka California).  I haven’t mentioned it but I have a secret in my possession.  Something I have longed for, yearned for….begged for.  For YEARS it feels like (ok, it really has been years, lol). THE OS SHIRT is mine, all miiiiine!!!  Bwahahaha!!!  Ok, ok, fine, you know for the next week or so. *snort* The Os shirt will be coming to Cali with me.  Roxy and I have been plotting for over a week now.  Oh the naughty things I am going to subject to it.  We’re going to corrupt it for sure.  ~wicked grins~ 
(fuck, and you know, it just occurred to me that I should have TOTALLY taken pics of Ashton- aka Yummy…keep up with me people, I know it seems confusing- in it/with it the other night when I had him over for a sleep over.  Damnit!  Apparently my brain turns to mush around the adorableness of that boy…..)

Definitely look for a special post Sunday.  I’ll be back Monday.  Have a fabulous holiday weekend!

Kicking it with Roxy…..

Oh. And yes. That is snowboard gear. ~grins~

Yeah…nothing like taking a week to pull a recap together.  Gah.  In all fairness, there are always something like close to 200 pictures to sort through. Plus last week was kinda sucky for me, so….. Hey, the important thing is you got pictures to look at, right?

So.  The plan had been to fly out to Arizona and spend the wkend with Roxy and friends.  But then their poor little furbaby broke his elbow and they decided to ditch the Az trip.  Instead I flew in to spend the wkend at their house.  Poolside, drinking, friends…..Arizona, California….it’s all good.  Hehe


Friday-

Had to leave for the airport at like 4am Friday morning.  *YAWN*  I half debated not even going to sleep but managed to force an hour ‘nap’ in.  Starbucks on the way to the airport helped tremendously (caught them right when they opened- THANK GOD!!!).  Had THE chattiest kid sit next to me on my first leg of the trip.  And it wasn’t just him talking AT me.  He wanted to converse.  Where am I going?  What am I doing there? Do I ski?  Like seriously dude.  I’ve had a nap and a cup of coffee…I’m so totally not a morning person.  It’s a miracle I was half functioning at 6am with the amount (or lack there of) of sleep I’d had in the last couple days previously.  He clearly WAS a morning person.  Cute kid though, in a “I wear a business suit” sort of a way.  Wished I’d been thinking more clearly and could have been wittier  ~wink~

Caedyn dipping her toes in the pool.

Nice um….hose.  *giggle* Two things funny about this picture.  A- the obvious, Roxy’s a nut.  LMAO  B- Caedyn LOVES to chase/bite the water from the hose.  I only wish Kiya loved water half as much as her sister.

Started the afternoon off right with Strawberry Margaritas.  Quicksilver makes them PERFECT.  MMm…..

These shot glasses rock.  So perfectly said.  *grins*

Burr!!!  It’s sooooo cold in California at night.  It got down to 80!  *gasp* Hehe…. It was really warm (90′s) while I was out there. Goof.  Seriously though, it does get a bit chilly at night once the sun goes down.

Ha!  Do not even ask……lol.  Roxy had this brilliant idea for new clubbing wear.  GoGo dancers have nothing on us… *snicker* (btw, I have tons of these, decided to save them for a post of their own)

Paparazzi apparently got too drunk to take very many pics that night (read: that aren’t ridiculously silly and un-postable) bc that is all she wrote for day one.  (Doh!)

Oh. Um. Did I ever tell you about the time Roxy fell out of bed? No? Um…..bwahahaha…….well I’m still not. But THAT was funnier than hell. At least to Quicksilver and I, we were still giggling about it the next day. *snort snort*

Saturday-

Woke up missing bikini bottoms and camera. Roxy was missing her entire bikini. I had visions of our bikinis strewn in the street. That’s a good time right there. Doh. Camera was found safely (WHEW!), other bikini parts were found safe and un-eaten by giant puppy (AKA…Sadie). On with the day!

BBQ with friends are the plans for this afternoon.  Roxy playing with meat again. I swear…that woman and her meat….  *lol*

Gonna spend the day by the pool.  And what goes better poolside then Brazilian Rum! (Yummy would disagree….lol) Made a pitcher of Caprihania’s.  I’m pretty sure each of us having two of these (glasses people, not pitchers) got the party started rather quickly (and early).

What all girls need at the pool.  A pool boy!  AKA: Roxy’s hottie hubbie

Whatcha smiling about Quicksilver?  *grins* All we need is beer in our hands and this could be a beer advertisement. No?

Aren’t they just the cutest couple you ever did see?!

An alcoholic’s fridge.  Food?  Pfffbbbtttt…..  Kidding…kind of.  It’s the ‘pool/beer’ fridge.

True happiness: laying out in a bikini by the pool in the sun with a beer between your legs. [insert inappropriate reference of something else between my legs....grins......]

Oh hello!

Quicksilver rockin the Vixen hat.

There’s my girlfriend Sadie again.  Goofy girl. It’s not a trip to Roxy’s without being properly molested by the giant puppy.

Put your hands in the air and say…..YEAH.  Hehe.  Caprihanias, beers, several shots in…. (could ya tell?)

The spa at night means…..BUBBLES!!!!  Lots and lots of bubbles!

Roxy between my legs (snicker…..)

This is the look of a dog staring back at the drunk people binging on midnight snacks.  (I will save you the pictures Caedyn took of the drunk people, they were pretty bad, no one really wants to see that shit)

So Roxy passes out (notice broken doggy sleeping on her legs?  Cuuuuuuuute!)

Quicksilver and I decide we should have one more shot.  Then after one we realize, well hell, there is only one more round left in the bottle (um, that we only opened the night before *ahemtequilawhoresahem*). So Quicksilver says we should just finish off the bottle, which is a good point.  Right?  Well.  But then we realize after that shot, HELL, there is now one more round.  Ok, serve ‘em up.  *shaking head* And…. we both promptly passed out.   (if you recall Quicksilver and I made this same mistake last time- doh)

Sunday-

Nobody felt all that spectacular Sunday morning.  Go figure.  I think Quicksilver finally made an appearance about oh, noon?

Roxy and I spent a day recuperating by the pool.  Drinking beer.  Which seemed to help.

Bad dog Sadie!  This dog is not allowed in the house.  Guess who figured out how to open the sliding screen door the night before?  Guess who is freakin PROUD of herself that she learned this fabulous new trick?  Um…yeah…….

Finally pulled ourselves together enough to hit The Yardhouse for dinner.  Roxy and I went there when I was out last July.  Fun place.  Yummy food.  Wanna yard of beer?

Bikini-tinis!!!!

Girlies with bikini-tinis!

I hear it’s kinda tricky to drink from the yard glass when your beer gets towards the end.  I’m thinking I’ll take their word for it. Knowing me, I’d have beer dripping down my front.  Body shots are cool and all but not in that manner.

Alright.  The trip comes to an end.

But wait.  Not with out molesting Roxy one last time!  (hehe)

Early night for all of us.  Wanna know the sucky thing for an insomniac who goes to bed before 10?  Being wide fucking awake at midnight.  *sigh* Out of the house and on our way to Starbucks at 6 Monday morning. Homebound.  Direct flights- gotta love them!

I’m seriously loving my monthly Roxy visits.  *happy sigh* Looks like a Cali road trip in a couple weeks (family trip….less tequila, more beach) then Roxy and Quicksilver will be here in July.  Sah-weet!

I’m outta here (be home Monday).  Off for more sunshine, friends and tequila.  As it turns out, my awesome husband has decided what keeps me in my happy place is a monthly dose of Roxy, sunshine (our weather has freakin SUCKED, it snowed *again* the other day, wth?!?!) and tequila, sprinkled with a healthy dosage of Yummy.  And of course in turn I have figured out what keeps PC and I happy and getting along as well as we have been recently.  ~wink~

Speaking of Yummy….we had plans for a photo shoot this past week.  Did I get your attention?  *grins*  As sometimes happens, plans change, things come up, whatever.  The night didn’t go quite as planned.  Fun was had into the wee hours of the morning for sure but the pictures I had in mind were not taken.  Damn.  The consolation prize is I did finally take some for TFT though.  Ooooo….hehe (I can picture the hits over there already).  Anyway.  I’m hoping to plan another rendevouz next week once I’m back from my trip so that we might try again. *fingers crossed*

Have a fabulous Friday!

Roxy and Quicksilver met Phoebe and I at the airport. This flight had been MUCH better than the last time.  The SW bitch fest must be over and the regular NICE people who actually like dogs, are back.  The only disappointing thing was to realize that a good portion of my music on my iPod, some good stuff that I had looking forward to listening to on the plane…..was missing.  How did that happen???  Oh well. 

First stop was lunch.  Mexican of course.  One of the (maaaaaaaaaaany) things I love about my friends is that their love for Mexican food is so similar to mine.  And of course we indulged in Margaritas!

Next stop after lunch….the liquor store!

Not long after making it to their house Roxy broke out the Tequila she’d gotten for her bday.  They celebrate THIRSTY THURSDAY at their house each week.  It’s 5:00 somewhere! Cheers! Pomegranate Tequila is yuuuuuumy….. (although, much more a ‘indulge in one shot’ sort of thing)

Of course, got to get in some ‘sober-ish‘ shots….

That’s what I’m talking about…definitely was and IS the theme whenever I visit  ~wink~

Baby spiders! Er, um, parachuters, the sky was full of them the entire wkend.  Hehe

Aren’t they completely insanely cute together?!

More ‘sober-ish‘ pics….

…you know, before I began molesting her.

Thursday night included beer, tequila shots, Domino’s incredibly delish veggie pizza [after Quicksilver offered me my upteenth shot and I had to tell him 'not until something less alcohol-like made it into my stomach' (hey!  sometimes I DO know what is good for me! Rare, but still, lol)], more tequila, I believe this is the night I was attempting to text PC but those damn Blackberry keys just kept getting smaller and smaller…..attempted to watch Vampire Diaries (unsuccessfully) then passing out in Roxy’s bed.  Doh.

Friday-

Quicksilver never made it to work.  Doh…downside of Thirsty Thursday I guess.  Tequila haze.  Lunch at Pick-Up-Stix….seriously *LOVE* that place.  I want one to open up here so bad!  Next the nail salon where we all got pretty nails and were accosted by their new chairs (wtf is up with a chair that squeezes your thighs together super tight….and then rams a rod up into your ass?!  I’m not kidding…..lol).  Eventually did some food and beverage shopping.  I was ramped up to make them Capriana’s.  Perfect poolside drink!

I’ve posted many of these signs before, not sure if I’ve ever shown this one before.  *snort*

Mega sized Capriana’s were enough to get the pool party going.  *ahem*  Switched to beer…..

Ahh…….  *HAPPY SIGH*  I could spend every wkend just. like. this.

Quicksilver getting it on, er um helping….doh.

Like you doubted….

Boys pass out.

What happens when boys pass out….girls take advantage of awesome photo ops.  HAHA~

Friday night more friends came over for Rock Band and Roxy made her signature SUPER yummy pasta- Rattlesnake Pasta.  Which I’m dying to make.  It was um…a tad bit (fire-blazing-from-your-mouth) spicy.  *snort*  But very good.  We all enjoyed it with the Texas Toast and beer.

Even Phoebe wanted in on the beer consumtion.  No really, can’t you tell she was just dying to enjoy some Rocky Mountain Water?!?!  (never mind her “OH GOD HELP ME PLEASE” look……)

Rockin Beer Goggles.   I’ll save you the pics where Phoebe was rockin’ them.  Not as impressive as when Roxy was.

(wrong…wrong….wrong…..lololol)

Rockband time.

They are seriously good. I was super impressed.  I stayed behind the scenes as the Paparazzi, you know, what I do very best.  Bwahahaha….

Ok.  Enough of that.  Time for the spa.  I swear, you would not believe the girl on girl action I got that wkend.
Brown eyes that make you melt, beautiful short hair, tongue that can…..  Yeah, she’s a big ass German Shepherd puppy named Sadie.  I won’t include all the pics where she’s molesting me.  I can’t even count how many times I was accosted by her.  *snort*

I’m either doing my ‘Sadie-impersonation’ here or molesting Roxy (….again…..) 

The night ended when Roxy was dead set on having the Cheesy Cake Quicksilver had made earlier in the day (homemade from a box! Quite the gourmet! *giggle*) that was inside the house.  Get her in the house where she promptly passes out…sans any Cheesy Cake. I was deadset that Quicksilver and I needed ONE more shot of tequila.  To which his point is, well hell, may as well double up and have two.  Then as we are indulging in our 2nd back to back shot makes me promise not to leave him high and dry….  We proceed to have a most enlightening and interesting conversation (right? I’m sure in my mind anyways, lol), I look over and guess who’s passed out cold.  Yes, I’m THAT entertaining apparently.  Poor guy woke up at 4am on the couch, by himself, listening to blaring loud music…while us girls were snoozing away in bed.  DOH.

Saturday-
Mmm…this is the morning we probably all felt the worst. I slept in until 9:30 (when does THAT ever happen?!?!) and woke up in a very, very heavy tequila induced fog.  Blech……..

You know “Where’s Waldo”????  So, where’s Phoebe?

There she is!  Hehe…..  (I’m not appologizing for the doggy pictures, she’s adorable and you have to admit it and/or deal with it)

What better way to cure a hang over and spend a hot Saturday afternoon then walking around a Meat Festival.  A vegetarian’s DREAM. *LOL*  Actually I think to meat eaters it was called something like a “BBQ Showdown”

Did you read that?  Meat to please ME.  Little do they know…..hehe

I kid.  But it was nice to get out of the house and I think the walking around was good for all of us.  It was funny to joke about me, the vegetarian, checking out all the meat.  *wicked grin*

And while I’m not such a huge fan of meat, I DO love sauce.  My motto in life is that it’s SERIOUSLY all about the sauce.  Food is merely a vehicle FOR sauce.  I AM the Sauce Goddess!

This is probably only funny to those who know me somewhat well.  One of the most offensive ‘meats’ to me is bacon.  Bc restaurants like to sneak bacon into EVERYFUCKINGTHING. I’ll order an innocent salad someplace and it’ll come out with teeny tiny bacon bits in it.  Mashed potatos.  Soups.  It’s amazing to me.  So bacon wrapped anything….ah yes, *barf*

I know, I know…You can’t take me and Roxy anywhere without us becoming inappropriate. What can I say.  To know us is to deal with us love us.

Roxy preferred hers with nuts…..just sayin’ *giggle grins*

Later back at the house…..

Tequila progress.  Let me put this into perspective for you.  This bottle if freakin’ HUGE.  1/2gallon glass bottle of Don Ramone tequila.  MMmmm….. So, four people, 2 nights…..bout half a bottle down.  Um, yeah.

Sadie’s ball.  Seriously.  This is just wrong, no?!  (the ball people, look at the ball, lol)

Girlies…..

For as warm as it was that day, it got pretty cold that night.  Def can’t beat a fire at night.

Theme song of the night- SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS!!!

What?  You only knew it was a matter of time before we got all porn-star like with the tequila.

Roxy’s tower of beer….. (I mean, we all drank it, but she made it, kwim?  lol)

 
Quicksilver is awfully happy, no?
(psst…I never do this, but you might want to click this one particular pic….)

(FWI, TFT should be most interesting the next few weeks.  This past HNT was just a taste of Roxy and I….and our um, flashing habit, lol)

Awww……

Bubble queen

Ok.  Last pic of wkend (mostly, kind of sort of), ok, that I’m going to show NOW.  *LOL*  Remember the Cheesy Cake Roxy was infatuated with the night before?  Um…yum.  There are some very fun and interesting things you can do with it!  *ahemCheesy-Cake-Pornahem*  Just sayin….  ~wink~

Sunday-

How we spent our Sunday.  Recovering/recuperating.  It was a *beautiful* day.  Figures…would have been perfect to spend it poolside.

Had a really late flight out.  Was pretty disappointed to discover that the already small San Diego airport has an even tinier terminal than I am used to.  As in, I had my heart set on the slim selections of a sandwich from Quiznos and latte from Starbucks (dinner of champions).  Only to discover this teeny, tinier terminal consists of two gates and a kiosk that sells water and magazines.  Oh…um, ok, pfffbbbtt, who really needs dinner anyways.  *sigh*  Added with the college baseball (???) team that seemed to always want to be sitting where I was, AS I was trying to have a phone conversation….  Not the greatest way to end a fabulous wkend.  But *shrug*  sa le vie, when you travel as much as I have been recently.  I can put up with the little shit anyday to repeat fabulousness.  You have no idea how badly I would like to visit there monthly.  Wait…I guess I almost have, lol.  Well, still.  Hopefully next time PC can come as well.  It was incredibly sweet (and worked out best) for him to hold down the fort but he was missed.  Anyway…..

*HAPPY SIGH*

(edited to move this up top)
Haven’t done this in awhile…. This is my new favorite song on my playlist. Kinda plays into my mood this week a bit.

******

So.  I had actually been working on a CQW post and found myself feeling anxious and overwhelmed by the time and thought I was having to put into it.  And I ended up saying- screw it.  Instead what you get is random jumble of thoughts.  I mentioned too that I’d like to use the case I served as a juror in for some CQW topics.  I’m having a hard time though processing my thoughts regarding it.  I guess, quite honestly, it really traumatized me on several levels.  The judgement placed on what I thought was a ‘normal’ teenage boy.  The insanity of what an angry father did…  I’m finally just now not having disturbing dreams about it.  Gah.  Not fun stuff.

My mind is racing. I need it to slow the fuck down.  The unfortunate fun part of my neurosis is that I become overwhelmed easily.  And when I’m overwhelmed I become frazzled and unable to concentrate or think clearly and often times in turn I get very irritable.  I admit it, I don’t handle stress very well.  Or being overwhelmed.

*deep breaths*

I am overwhelmed.  The time change- while I LOVE the added light- has seriously fucked up my sleeping habits.  Or rather, lack there of.  I’ve gotten a handful of hours of sleep this week and had a completely crazy busy week.  PC and I are heading to California on Thursday (more to come on this tomorrow….stay tuned ~wink~).  I’ve had a slew of things to get done before we leave…getting the house and animals ready for their babysitter to come stay with them.  Prepping for us to be gone.  Laundry.  Packing.  And not just for *us* but for the kiddos who are staying with their grandparents.  Arrangements for pick ups and drop offs.  Primping appointments (what?! I’m a girl!  Don’t act like you all are surprised!).  The list goes on.

But it will all be worth it come Thursday afternoon when I take my first sip of beer and am amongst super awesome friends in warm temps, with palm trees in my view.  Ahhh…..

I do have to say, our weather has been FABULOUS.  Which definitely makes me a bit more sun-shiney.  I’ve gotten in some incredible runs and am finally feeling back in shape after such a long, rough winter.  I was forced to take SO much time off this winter.  From when I badly cut my foot last fall, to being constantly so so sick (I swear my lungs are just finally feeling ‘normal’ again), and then the harsh winter where snow was almost always on the ground.  Yeah…put a damper on things.  Temps and snow I can work around with the treadmill.  A cut foot and being sick all winter…not so much.

******

Packing….  Got my jeans, bikini, tank tops, sweatshirt, large long haired cat…..  Does he know he’s not coming with???  *snicker

Happy HUMP Day!!!

I was sitting in the Phoenix airport waiting for my connecting flight home last night, hoping to not run into my ex husband (wouldn’t that be funny….*snort* NOT).  The irony is the airplane I was on, that brought me *there*, was a connecting flight to my airport.  Hey!  How come that wasn’t an option when we were buying tickets?!  Sheesh, seriously.

Anyway.  So I thought a cool way to kill time would be to update everyone with a trip recap.  Where I would insert cool, fun pictures of my fantastic girlie filled weekend.  But in order to do that I would have needed to be able to access my site and apparently it had been flagged as ‘sex related’ by the airport people.  Who?!?!  ME?!?!  Sexual!?  Pfffbbbt! ;)

So instead you had to wait until this morning.  We got home around 1:30am.  I was finally able to fall asleep (wired) around 3:30 and then got to get up with puppies at 6am.  Yeah……  *sigh*

If you all remember, one of the reasons for my little vacation was to deliver Little Miss Puppers (still remaining to be named, lol) to her new mommy.  I gave her a wee bit of a tranq to make our 7hour trip (including driving, flights and layovers) less stressful for her.  All 6 lbs of her did awesome.  I was so proud of her!

I seriously could have included about 8 more pictures of her bc that muffin is freaking CUTE. 

But I won’t bore you.  You can see she settled in quite nicely and loves her new home.

Her little dog Cerveza was pissed a bit put out with the new baby.  And decided he would make himself at home in my suitcase.  At least he didn’t pee in it (that I could tell anyways *lol*).

One slight issue with a girls only weekend, with out hubbies, is that you lose a cameraman.  And self timers don’t always work the way you hope they would.  *snort*

But we did finally get it to work alright.  (Sidenote- there was an even better pic of the two of us that I had and just before posting realized you could see both of our panties.  DOH!)

We had planned to hit up a casino/nightclub one of the nights.  They have cool live bands on weekend nights after a certain time.  As we were getting dolled up to go we looked up the live band they had scheduled that night.  A band called Soto.  Um….you really should click this link.  Needless to say, pretty much not at all in a hundred million years ‘our’ kind of music.  We certainly weren’t going to be DANCING to it.  So we bagged that idea and partied in the spa with friends and 3 bottles of Boones. 

We did go out the next night to a super cool brewery/restaurant.  Snagged ourselves a great place at the bar (after much stalking) and enjoyed ourselves.  The place is famous for having over 100 beers on tap.  It was pretty cool!  And would have probably been cooler if I had thought to like take a picture of all the taps before um, now.  Gah.
Girls on the town.

All the important things…..appetizers, yummy meals (we both had these exotic/glorified grilled cheese sandwiches with avocados that were so big you had to eat them with forks), beers and cell phones.  *LOL*

 
Do you like my Vanna White impression?

So.  When asked by two hot chicks “Can you do us a favor”, what is the first response that comes to your mind?  Well.  If you are the dude sitting outside the restaurant you respond with “Depends on what it is”.  Really?  REALLY?!  *shaking head*  THAT my friends, will get you nowhere fast.  Nowhere fun at least!  We were, incidentally, only asking him to take a picture!

But so I’m home. It was a mere 102 degrees with humidity down there.  *pant pant*  We spent daytime hours by the pool.  Got some killer shopping done at the outlets (I *totally* scored! WOOT).  Drank beer.  Didn’t have a hang over once (I used to think the sign of a good time was a good old fashioned hang over and in my old ~snort~ age, have decided against that theory) but drank enough for a good time.  It was an awesome weekend spent hanging with one of my very bestest friends, gossiping, venting and just chillin’.

PC, the kiddos and animals managed to survive with out me (I think the kids only called me 5-8x a day, hehe).  As PC was cleaning the day I came home he mentioned how amazing it was the amount of mess the kiddos and dogs could make in such a short period.  Ha…no kidding, right?!  I came home to a super clean house full of very excited animals.

*happy sigh*

Now off to unpack, catch up on laundry and my full inbox.  Weeeee……

~xo

All my bags are packed
I’m ready to go
I’m standin here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye…..

I am going to California to visit one of my bestest girlie friends for the next four days.  I’m hand delivering her new baby to her (one of Mick and Daisy’s pups, she’s a Mini Texas Heeler).  *GRINS*  Her husband is away so it’s a girls only weekend.  I’m stoked.  But while reading a post of Barefoot Dreamer last week, something occurred to me….  The last time I went away by myself- meaning without kids and/or my spouse was twelve years ago.  That’s craziness!  And incidentally, it was to visit the same girlie friend, lol.  But it has caused all this anxiety! Which is silly, I’m a grown woman in her mid thirties (it’s mid until you hit forty, right?!).  Of course I will be fine traveling alone (ok I’ll have a puppy companion similar to dragging a baby along for the trip there) but it feels so weird to be leaving my family behind.  And *of course* they will be ok.  But I’m the MOM.  My JOB is to take care of them all.  I’ve stocked them up on groceries, written numerous lists (I’m a list maker!), done everything I could to try to ensure things go smoothly while I’m away.  Part of being OCD is that I can be a control freak when it come to my kids, animals and household.  *sigh*

Anyways.  I will do my best to make it around to see everyone.  It’s unlikely I will get a FF post up on Friday.  If I do manage though, I will let everyone know.  See you all on Monday!

Mute Monday- Guess This Place

 
Did ya figure it out?!  ~grins~

******

Welp.  Let’s see.

*Kiddos had a sleep over with their cousins, enjoyed an yummy dinner at Olive Garden on a date with my insanely handsome, delicious hubby *giggle*  Then passed out (surprising me, not him, doh ~wink~) upon hitting the bed, nilching any plans of any sort of naughtiness happening.  Gah.  Teach me to let my blood sugar get too low so that ONE Martini goes straight to my head….

*PC brought me Starbucks in bed.  Aww…..

*Took the kiddos to see Wolverine Saturday afternoon.  Awesome movie.  They did a great job.

*LP and I watched Bride Wars.  Cute.  Funny.

*Finally finished the last book in the Twilight series last week (btw, it had a good ending, I was happy and less disgruntled than last time I mentioned it, lol).  Which meant I was DYING to watch the movie.  Stayed up late to watch it and um…well. I really loved the books.  LOL!  No. I mean the movie was good *because* I read the books.  Had I not read the books?  No.  The movie was kind of dorky.  But I did enjoy it and I admit it, I will be watching it again.  It’s my guilty pleasure for simple ‘happy sigh’ entertainment.

*Felt like shit Sunday.  Not….really…..sure why. ????

*Haven’t seen the sun since like I think last Wednesday.  WTF people!?!  Hello?!  Spring????  Rain is good. But gotta say, SUN. IS. TOOOOOOO!!!!

Anywhore. 

Happy Monday!
