What the heck is a yurt?

Hi Y'all,


Yesterday morning Cavuto woke me up at 5:30. I did all my chores . Then by 10 I needed a nap. Woke up at 12 and got ready for the day. Left for Little rock and went to Burlington coat factory. Of all places ...I actually found two decent pairs of shorts. SCORE!They were neither crotch rockets OR Pippy pants. I think they must have been "last years" stock. Thank God!


Then i went to Barnes and Noble (oh ..how I miss living in a real town ...with good shopping) I bought 2 books , planning to start one of them while I waited for Poodles at the airport. Then i realize I had brought NO reading glasses. damnit!
So much for that idea.


We had planned to meet my aunt Loo Loo on the way home for dinner at this country restaurant.
Poodles arrives (on time) and off we go to the restaurant. We get there and the sign says "closed on Mon . and Tuesday" WTH?


I call Loo Loo and tell her. Then, "cracker barrel " is the only other restaurant I can remember on that road. So I say "meet us there"
Little did I know , it was ten miles back AWAY from the way home. ack!
We had a nice dinner anyway. And had a great ,although nearly toothless waiter.
Ate too many delicious biscuits . man, they were yummy:)


It was 8:00 by the time we got home.Then we got into our pj's and watched "the great santini"
One of my favorite movies ever. If you've never seen it, i suggest you do!


Today will be a lazy day. but tomorrow is our big adventure. we're going camping in a yurt.


This thing. Hope it's fun and not sweltering and scary:)





I must go make some coffee and wake up my lazy friend so we can get this day started.

I'm on vacation. Woo hoo!!


Have a great day peeps!
Luv me

Pictures now...words in the mornin'
























































































Adult swim!

Happy Saturday y'all.

I've been nagged to update. But honestly...I got nuthin'

Yesterday , i try to go in my pool. I rarely do because I hate the fact that it's like a damn public pool due to all the renters we have here.

Well ,about 3 ,I was layin in my bed ...reading "into the green" (a book about the Vietnam war)
Then I realize there is no one in the pool.I grab my stuff, and my book and head on out there.
With in 20 minutes ...about 6 adults show up with 3 splashing, squealing kids.
Lovely.

I guess I am an old bitter hag. LOL
I want privacy and peace out there.

I waited them out and actually stayed out there until around 7. Floozie2 and lakefarmer came out eventually and we happy houred in the pool.


As you know , my friend Poodles (desert dirt diva) will be here Tuesday. So , I've been cleaning all day today (so far) trying to get ready to ignore the house for a week. :)

I'll even try to scrounge up a non-stinky towel. lol

I think i've had enough cleaning for today. I'm out of here to run my errands. I may go out on the boat later. Not sure yet ...looks kind of cloudy right now.

I'll be back if anything exciting happens.:)

have a great day!
luv me

Nag a friend......sorry I can't help it.

Ola peeps,

Well, yesterday morning Eva got her divorce papers ...in print and the reality of it all ...hit her like a ton of bricks.

She called me about ten, wanting to go to lunch ...she needed a margarita.

The only time I ever got divorced ..it took about 10 years. By that time , I had these fantasies of having a big celebration with my girlfriends. The reality was ...I went to court...for nothing ...alll by myself ..and I think every one of my damn girlfriends was pregnant at the time. The whole thing was a big bust.

So,I'm sure it's a totally different story when your husband just springs it on you one day ...and the thing is final in 30 days.

Reality hurts. Anyhow, after work ,she came over and we went out on the boat. Come to find out , my friend does not know how to swim. :)

I get her on a raft ....thank God, without me having to save her 6 foot tall ass from drowning.
and then the rest of the afternoon , I'm afraid I just "gush" with my ...probably ...unwanted advice. ack!

Once an "oldest" sister...always an oldest sister.

Most of my friends seem to love me in spite of my "older sisterism" lol

Or they're just too polite to say "shut up! you damn nag!"lol
My younger sister is really the only one who ever fights me on this. (ha ha )

So , anyhow...sometimes...I KNOW what I'm talking about...EVA!!!! LOL

************************************************************************
Speaking of friends...the ONLY friend I have that I have known longer than Desert dirt diva, is my friend Kim.

I started some middle school ...way back when I was about 12 years old. And she was the lucky winner who got to show me around the school. :)

(remember ...my mom moved us ...from state to state ...about every 3 months)

I never let myself lose touch with her.
We used to go roller skating and we were SO HOT ...with our big 80's hair and shit...and we would unzip our pants on the way there , so they wouldn't be less than "skin tight" , she also knew how to sew, so every time I would LOAN her a pair of my pants ...she'd have the damn things all taken in ...to fit her "less fat" thighs.


Anyhow ...since she does not have a blog YET......she's the first one who answered my stolen meme .... so here are HER answers.....
