Pass the I give up button

Well, how exciting this week has been . NOT!


For over a week I've been on the "give up happy hour.....lose your gut "diet.
Have I lost one damn ounce? Of course not.


I'm still behind on my chores and running out of time. ack! My hubby gets home in 2 days.


Yesterday ,I head off to town to run my errands and who do I see?





This guy! I haven't seen him for a couple months and was actually beginning to wonder what happened to him.


Well, there he was in all his spandex glory. He was wearing the spandex shorts ,a skin tight sports bra and ...ready for this?
a 6 foot garland of fake roses ...wrapped around his neck.


Score! I have the camera with me!
I point and shoot. Excited to share this moment with all of you.
Naturally ....my e'ffin batteries are DEAD!!!
Am I surprised? Um ..NO.





I also saw my "boyfriend"
85 degrees out and there he sits in those boiling hot coveralls and a stocking cap.
He normally dresses more appropriately for the weather. So I have to wonder "has he gotten more mentally....whatever he is?"
"does he have NO clothes, besides those coveralls?"

Hmmmmmmm.......

************************************************************************
I have spent HOURS researching "getting cats to England"
What a royal pain in the ass.
Everyone (who has already done this) agrees that the damn requirements and paperwork for their cats was more complicated and stressful than doing their OWN Visas..etc.
I concur!


WTH?? That just isn't right.


Speaking of cats.......One of the things I must know is how much do my cats weigh.
I just weighed Cavuto and O'reilly this morning.


You know....Cavuto:Gigantic
O'Reilly: little string bean












Can you believe Cavuto only weighs 2 pounds more than O'Reilly?


Cavuto 12 pounds.........looks like he weighs 25. lol
O'reilly 10 pounds of (apparently) solid muscle.


Go figure.

*************************************************************************
Well, I will try and take some pictures today of what? Don't know yet. I shall be home bustin' ass ,cleaning.

Have a great day peeps!

Luv me

My old boat

Hi Y'all,

Happy Monday.
Today has gone by like a flash. Nothing exciting happened though. I worked in my bedroom most of the day, went to the movie store and grocery store and took a big fat nap.
Now, here it is lazy time.
:)

*******************************************************************************


Yesterday ,i went to lunch with E at Fishermans wharf and I saw this old friend.


Ha! Our OLD boat.

I knew that thing like that back of my hand.

I couldn't tell who had driven it there. So I threw a note inside saying "Hi , this is my old boat! I'll give ya' a really good deal on the camper covers for it!!"

My spouse said that if I sold the covers ,I could use the money for the wedding.



THESE THINGS. They zip on and enclose the whole interior of the boat.



So if ya know anyone with a Sea Ray 200 Select .......hook me up!!!







********************************************************************************

Hope you all had great days in your neck of the woods!

Luv me

My garden grows....

Happy Friday Y'all!

I got nuthin' to blog about .

My house is a pig pen, o'Reilly barfed on the living room floor and my refrigerator is about to grow legs if i don't clean it out.
ACK!!






I DO have a miracle on my back patio !



Those of you who know me, know my mad plant killing skills.

Well...check THIS out.

Can you believe it???


Click on the pictures to see the full sized version.









Squash!Actually growing flowers and everything.











Tomatoes thriving like weeds people!

the only problem is , being as cheap as I am......I refused to pay 6 bucks each for tomato cages.

Instead ,I bought some cheap pvc pipes. (which I plan to fashion into tomato stakes. )

However , I need one of my handy dandy neighbors (of the male variety) to cut the pipes in half for me.

G5? LakeFarmer?? Anyone with a saw???


Have a great day peeps!

Luv me

Crazy cat lady..on the loose.in public.

Hi peeps,

Another thrilling day here in Paradise.

I cleaned my pig sty until about noon. Then I went and ate lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant.

Came home and loaded O'Reilly and Cavuto up in the cat stroller.
This was the FIRST time out , in the stroller.
We walked the entire boardwalk. They were happy as "dumb cat's smelling fresh air".

Their harnesses came a couple days ago.
Remember , THIS is what I was waiting for ...because it would be so "safe and secure".

Oh ...silly "boy mom" ha ha .NOT!

So, We stroll the boardwalk....then I take them out of the stroller and put them on the boat. They have their new harness and leash on.
Cavuto is whining like a baby.(because of the harness)

The boat is up on the lift...I hadn't thought to see if "I" could get on there or not.

My friend Nosey comes by and comes over to talk . Then she leaves to go to her house to get some bread for the ducks. (we have a mama duck out there, with 9 babies)

About 30 seconds after she leaves , O'Reilly backs himself right OUT of his harness. ACK!!

I have to go into crazy "mama" mode....I hook Cavuto's leash on the boats "sink faucet" and manage to haul my ass up there (onto the boat) to capture the "loose" O'reilly.

If anyone would have fallen in the water ...I would NOT have been too happy.
Right now the water is COLD and DIRTY!

O'Reilly managed to "back out "of his harness 3 more times. Other than that ...the training episode was a success.

My spouse actually said "Cavuto didn't get out of HIS harness because he's too dumb."

Maybe he's just too smart. LOL or , too much of a baby. Who knows.
Anyhow , they loved it ,once they settled down. Todays lesson was "just to get used to the harness"

Cavuto managed to find a "daddy long leg " and torture it to death ...and eventually eat it.

I looked insane ....pushing my huge cat stroller.....but all was good .

I'm really so far gone...I don't even care if I look insane.:)


















Daddy long leg..under foot:)












Daddy long leg ..IN mouth:)















BAD boy...trying to back out of harness.













Good boy...relaxing IN harness...finally!







I have MORE pics ..but blogger is not cooperating. I 'm sure that's killing you.lol

Good night y'all

luv me

Mothers day part 2

Hi Peeps,

I had a great mothers day! Hope you all did too.

I went to an art festival at the park with my friend E and 3 of her chillens, and an extra kid.
Extra kid was a little French girl. LOVED her and of course Sissy ..too.

Oh ..the joy you "daughter people" must have sometimes:)

The little ones are adorable too.

Here are our pics from the day.

P.s. G5, I don't know WHY it didn't occur to me to BUY the dumb fat shorts. . I got 'em now!

DUH!!Man I hope I'm NOT senile.


Good night y'all

Happy Mothers day!!!!!

Happy Mothers Day to all the great mom's I know.

~It really would be wonderful
To be with you today
To laugh with you
and talk with you
And pass the time away...
But, since that isn't possible,
The next best thing to do
Is send this wish for happiness
Across the miles to you.
Happy Mother's Day!~

(Author unknown)













Hope you all have great days in your worlds!

Luv me

I'm old and tired and I can't get up.....

Hi Y'all!

Yep ,I'm still alive. I have just been having one of those weeks where i can't seem to function.

I guess it's ok to talk about this ...because everyone in town knows about.

My friend E's husband of 10 years suddenly decided to start dating 22 year olds and divorce her.

Well, needless to say, she is a wreck.
She has 4 kids living at home. The 2 youngest are really too young to understand what's going on. So I really feel terrible for the older ones.
We'll call them Bubba and Sissy.
Bubba is 17 and Sissy is 14.


The other night ,I tell my friend "why don't you let Bubba and Sissy come spend the day with me?"


Me and my big pity mouth. LOL

She drops them off around 8:30 the next morning. These are good kids. Exceptionally good kids.
(they've been home schooled and have no T.V. If you can imagine that.)

So we pack up a lunch and head out for the boat. Well ,naturally it stays too cloudy and cool to get in the water or anything. So we anchored up and sat there for hours . Had our picnic lunch and tried to catch treasure with my giant magnet.

Then the rains comes. I had no choice but to drag them to the thrift stores. :)

They had never been to one. The highlight of the thrift-storing was ..we saw a pair of those shiney athletic shorts in a size 6 x!
We were all just dying that none of us had a camera with us. Those shorts were sooooo huge , we could have all got in them and still had room for more people.

It would have been great to take a picture and have it say "I lost 500 pounds eating at Subway!"
Etc.. damn . Why didn't i have my camera.


When mom finally picked them up she asked me if I was worn out. Actually YES! But not like we did anything exhausting. I was worn out from so much talking. lol

I'm used to saying very little ,on a daily basis. Just whatever I mumble to myself or the cats.
I guess I ought to get out more. :)


******************************************************************************







The rest of the week has been one of THESE kind of weeks.

Our weather has been crap. Rainy every day.












*****************************************************************************

This is SOOO true. That's what must be wrong with me . I currently have NO list!

I can not operate with out a list.

Note to self: MAKE LIST DAMN IT!!!!






********************************************************************************
Two of my kids just went to Mexico for a wedding. Here are some pics from their trip.
The youngest and my future daughter. Three and Gidget.

Ahhhhh...to be young :)

Enjoy the armchair travel. Happy friday peeps!!

Luv me
