Mayberry Virginia.......

Happy Friday y'all!


Here's the pictures of Mayberry .
:)













This IS the whole town.

Reminds me of Malvern.










The ONLY hotel in town.













Can't GIVE that real estate away!

No ONE wants to live there.

(especially US!)











Taken by the ONLY condos in town.







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

Well, how about that crap in Decalb Il. ? What in the hell is wrong with people?


Two of my sons used to live in that town . Rooming with a bunch of students from that school.
I hope they didn't know any of them.

**********************************************************************************
My husband got home yesterday and about 2 minutes later he was snoring . He had gotten up at 3 A.M. to catch his flight home.


So when dinner time rolled around he said "PLEASE, don't make me go out to dinner tonight. "


ack!


So he cooked on the egg. I had a rib eye that was so chewy I couldn't eat it.


Then we watched The O'Reilly factor and The Sarah Connor chronicles.


Damn , we're romantic 'eh? :)



He did bring me a card that said "this card entitles you to a pair of Sapphire ear rings like the one's that melted in the truck fire"


Isn't that sweet? Guess I'll have to get my shoes later . lol

**********************************************************************************
Not sure what my plan is for today. I haven't heard the weather yet. The temp. does dictate my planning. :0

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

Don't know if you all read my comments or not. So I am posting this hilarious comment here.
This is from my neighbor G5.



"
Well, if you think shopping sux in HS, wait till you shop in south Virginia. Ha! Good luck with that. I am sooo glad shopping is not so much here - saves me some serious money. It is sooo sweet that your hubby is coming home early - prolly because of Valentine's day. Last year I got my sweet little wife a brand new ironing board cover for V day. She was very upset and I had to sleep on the sofa for a week. I think it is because I bought it at Wal-Mart instead of Sears or Penney's. I think. So, to make up for it this year I bought her a new mop bucket. She will get home tomorrow from Okla. and I know she will just love it! Also, she bought way too many Christmas cards, so I took one and marked out all the Christmas stuff and wrote in a Valentine's greeting. I just know she will love that too. Cannot wait to give her her new mop bucket. "



I HOPE you are kidding about the mop bucket G5.


Have a great day peeps!

Hoo Haw meme

Ok. I got nothing. LOL
So I stole this "birthday month meme" from Val

http://goldentosilver.blogspot.com/

I'm supposed to see how well this all fits "me"
Let's see, shall we?



AUGUST: Loves to joke. Attractive. Suave and caring. Brave and fearless. Firm and has leadership qualities. Knows how to console others. Too generous and egoistic. Takes high pride in oneself. Thirsty for praises. Extraordinary spirit. Easily angered. Angry when provoked. Easily jealous. Observant. Careful and cautious. Thinks quickly. Independent thoughts. Loves to lead and to be led. Loves to dream. Talented in the arts, music and defense. Sensitive but not petty. Poor resistance against illnesses. Learns to relax. Hasty and trusty. Romantic. Loving and caring. Loves to make friends.



Loves to joke.......... ea' sometimes i suppose. Sarcasm is more my style though.


Attractive...........Oh yeah. That's me. LOL


Suave and caring...........Can a female even BE suave? Caring , Yes. I am that.



Brave and fearless......Brave maybe. But certainly not fearless. I fear EVERYTHING!



Firm and has leadership qualities.......I have no clue about this. I am usually only the "leader" when I sense that everyone else would be even worse as leader, than me.



Knows how to console others........not really.



Too generous and egoistic.......Generous. Yeah.
I assume that's supposed to be "egotistical"
NO I am definitely NOT that.




Takes high pride in oneself..........Well, if this means being clean and well groomed...then yeah. But snobby pride...no way!



Thirsty for praises...........nope.



Extraordinary spirit........yeah , that sounds like me. :)



Easily angered...........actually no. Very slow to anger.



Angry when provoked.......but you won't like me when I'm angry. lol



Easily jealous.........ha ! Used to be true. But I've grown up.



Observant........Yes! I can spot a shit bird a mile away.



Careful and cautious.........definitely! ie/scared of everything. Safety is my thang!!



Thinks quickly. Independent thoughts........... Lol , I can't think fast enough to figure out what they mean by that.



Loves to lead and to be led.............What am i schizophrenic now? Uh ,I think prefer to BE led. By someone MORE responsible and qualified than myself.



Loves to dream..........UM , NO!!!In fact I hate dreamers . I think it's stupid. Irresponsible and stupid are what describe most of the "dreamers" I have known. I am all about "realistic" baby!




Talented in the arts, music and defense...........ha ha ha !! Not quite. Arts? I can draw a hooker shoe and a dog facing backwards. Music? Yes , I constantly whistle or hum "and the casons go rolling along". Defense? If you give me an M-16 .....then Yep . Trained and talented:)



Sensitive but not petty.............My husband would say "overly sensitive" and nope I don't think I'm petty.



Poor resistance against illnesses.............Another lie! I never get sick. (now that my little germ factories have grown up)



Learns to relax..........true. too bad it took me 40 years to "learn it"



Hasty and trusty..........Nope, not true. I don't think I'm hasty . And I don't have any dumb blind trust either.



Romantic...........Um...don't think so. That goes right up there with "dreamers" hello!
I don't believe in Santa anymore either. :)



Loving and caring...........yes , that I am . But you probably won't even know it unless you KNOW me.Then ...to know me is to love me. LOL



Loves to make friends......Nope. I'm shy as hell. I LOVE and keep my friends. But I'm pretty selective about who I waste my time on.I usually know within minutes of meeting someone if I would want them for a friend.





Well, there we have it. why I think astrology is a bunch of hoo haw. :)


Two of my kids are the same "sign" and they are as different as night and day.


My spouse and my sister are both Taurus. Nothing at all alike.
Well, they can both pull a pretty good "queen Earlene" LoL


Ok, well, is it spring yet??? :)

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Luv me

Happy "back to reality "day y'all

Lot's of husbands out there really seem to be stepping up to the plate these days. Mine included.
Night before last one of the kids and I stayed up until 4 a.m. (discussing important childhood crap,of course)
So yesterday I was beyond worthless. My husband did laundry, dishes, trash, and took the two younger kids to the Airport.While I spent most of the day in bed ,sleeping and moaning about how miserable I felt. :)

A big thank you goes out to all the good hubby's !

So in honor of the good hubby's out there...(and for the ladies who could use a laugh) presenting ........
my ex husband........









He's still available if any one wants him. :)








Today is run all the neglected errands day.
Including buying some food. I do not want to SEE another piece of Christmas food or my eyes will explode.

Hopefully I'll be back with something fun or exciting to post about.;)

Have a great Friday peeps!!!
Luv me

And coke cans were strewn all through the house

Happy day after Christmas y'all!

My house is a wreck. :0














Today we are all going to Auntie J's.
She is going to make us dinner .I hope it's yummy enough to wipe out the horrible food memory of yesterday.











Last night was pretty lazy. I think 2 of the kids never even got dressed yesterday.

Floozie2 and Lake farmer came over and we all played Balderdash until after 11 p.m.

Floozie2 beat us all with her beginners luck.:)





I tried to download a slide show but nothing is working right. So i had to put it over on Snapfish.Let me know if I didn't send it to you.


Below is my list of prezzies. Woo Hooo!!! I love having me some grown kids with money. ha ha ha

red door

provocative woman

beautiful

(perfumes)

An organizer camera bag

a gorilla pod (mini tripod)

digital picture frame

estee lauder train case with makeup

scroll kit (Ian made us all one)

2 elephants

pajamas

2 shirts

2 computer programs

a Seiko watch (it is beautiful!)

some vodka

2 fancy scales (this was on my list and hubby got me one and so did weis)

lip tint (from my list)

a crystal cat ornament

there may be more ...but my memory is crap and i can't go look cuz everyone is sleeping.

I hope all of you had a great Christmas and some yummy food!

i need to go start cleaning before they all wake up and trash things some more.Gah!

I need a cleaning crew!!!

Have a great day!! Luv me

They make king size pillows?

Happy Sunday y'all!

Yesterday I started out my day by going down to the cat shelter thrift store. I didn't find anything, since I only had a dollar to my name. I did look at all the kitties up for adoption. Trying to see if they had a part Abyssinian kitten. (Eva is looking for one)
They did have one. A little cute girl. They also had a snow Bengal . He was so cute, laying there padding his feet in the air ,just like Cavuto.

By the time 1:00 rolled around, I needed my nap so bad I could barely keep my eyes open. But "I" stupidly decided I would be the one to go to Little Rock and pick up Three at the airport because i wanted to go to Target on the way.

Well...the parking lot at Target was so damn full , there was a mile long line just to get into the lot!
So much for that idea. That wasn't happening in an hours time. :(


So we got home and did pretty much nothing the rest of the afternoon. Then hubby, Three and I went and ate dinner at 8 p.m. at the Brauhaus.







It's kind of a cool weird place.














Three ,perusing the menu.














Chicken with hollandaise sauce.








I think I figured out the mystery of why old men want to marry young girls. They get sick of their middle aged wife being in her pajamas by 5 P.M. and her being too tired to want to go out to dinner at 8P.M.
Who knew?

******************************************************************************
I tried to wait up for the other kids to get here. Hubby and three were both snoozing on the couches.
I finally went to bed at midnight. Slept for about an hour and a half then they called me wanting to know how to get in the gate.

Stayed up for a very short time and went to bed.
Son TWO arrived sick . He has a nice raging head cold . Sweet.

*****************************************************************************
This morning son Two woke up in a puddle of sweat on his pillow. I said "eww, next time sleep on a cheaper pillow, not the 50 dollar king size pillow."

Son One" They make special king size pillows?"

Me" lol, didn't you notice that the sheets come with those 4 foot long pillow cases?"

One" yeah , I thought it was some fluke"

There you have it , someone really does learn something every day.
27 years old and didn't know they made king size pillows. :)

********************************************************************************
Oh yeah.....on the way here ,One got a speeding ticket (naturally)
but the cop made him get in the front seat of the police car while he quizzed him on weather W**** was his first or last name.

DUH!!! Like Black was his first name.

This happened the minute they arrived in ..yep...you guessed it, Arkansas.LOL

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

Well ,not sure what our plan is for today. This town will probably rolled up like a ghost town.

I'll be back latah.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Luv me

What great hair I have......ha ha ha

Happy Friday and hopefully ,for all you working stiffs , your last day of work !

Another thrilling day here yesterday. I went to a few thrift stores. Found Nothing. Then It was off to the hair place. Which turned out to be a very nice little place.
As I was sitting there I remembered how much I LOVE the atmosphere in a beauty shop. Christmas music was playing, no rage going on,women in various states of ugliness, gossip, just a happy, happy place. Like a slumber party all the time. What fun it must be to work there.

My gift certificate was for a shampoo ,cut and style. But since my spouse was rushing me to hurry up, because he had to go to little rock. All I had time for was the haircut. Which by the way ....for the first time in decades ...... was NOT a disaster!
Jennifer ...you are my new hero and my hair lady forever!!!

I will post a picture ..after I wash and style it myself. ahem.

Then I rushed home so my husband could have the truck. Have I mentioned that having ONE vehicle really sucks? Well having one vehicle really SUCKS!!!

Then I spent the next few hours doing my holiday baking and candy making. The babies were locked in the office the whole time and were like wild animals when i finally let them out.

I made swedish sugar cookies, no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies, white christmas, peanut cookies, cranberry nut bark, seems like there should be more.... but that's all I can remeber. :)

Floozie2 and Lake Farmer came over for a little while and then we went to Olive garden to eat dinner.They were not that busy , but 4 of them stood around while we waited for a table. We wound up eating at the bar ...while my husband got madder and madder. I knew a "queen earlene " was about to happen.

"please, wait until we're DONE eating"

which he did. Thank God.
I jumped up as soon as I was done and said "i'll be outside ,smoking'

I could see him through the window, wildly waving his arms around in rage ,as he queen earlened the manager a new ass.

Apparently , that wasn't good enough. He had to write Olive Garden a nasty gram after we got home as well.

Good lord. why can't everyone just be calm , like me. lol


Well , tonight we are having people over for dinner AND this is also the last day to clean before the kids arrive ,TOMMOROW. Ack!

So my plan is busting ass house cleaning.

The song of the morning is......."what a wonderful world"
unfortunately ..that's the only line I know.

Repeat until insanity ensues. :)

Have a great day y'all!

Oh ,P.S.
At dinner , after many daymares of my husband trashing our bedroom , while having HIS desk in there. I suggested that maybe we should move MY computer in there and HE can stay in the real office. He agreed. YAY!!!!

Help ! I'm deformed and clothes don't fit me...

Happy Friday Peeps!

Last night we went and ate at J's Italian Villa. Our neighbor Dr. Man went with us.
We had a lovely time and the food there is always awesome. Chicken Verona baby! MMMM!!

Yesterday I was worthless all day with my stupid back being "out" .It seems to be a little bit better today. Which is good ,because my house is in shambles. My husband seems to leave a trail of messiness every where he goes. ack!


I'll take some pictures in a while. You won't believe it. :{


Tonight is our office Christmas party. I have not even looked in my closet yet for clothes to wear. And even worse...is yesterday ,my husband announced to me that we were invited to the Chritsmas party for his new job ,Tuesday ....in Dallas.


He wants me to go buy a suit. In Hot Springs? That will fit my deformed body?

Oh S*it!

He may as well have requested that I become Cindy Crawford by Tuesday.

That is my mission for today. One that I am sure is going to be a nightmare.

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

I had to take a key to the office yesterday and a girl says to me "oh, did you get a new truck?"

"yeah, we kind of had to."

Another girl says"is this one fireproof?"

I wish it was!!!:)

**************************************************************************
The other day , my husband lamenting about buying a new truck.

Me- "well ,you could be planning my funeral right now"

Him- "yeah, but I'm not"

Me- "Well , I could be hideously burned up right now."

Him- "yeah, then I'd be planning your murder."

LOL ,Oh the comedy around here. :)
He IS the sweetest. lol

***************************************************************************
I'll be back latah. Hope you all have great days!

Luv me

Humiliation......you can't scare 'em all...

Well, most of today went to hell in a handbag.


We started late because most of our appointments were in the afternoon.


So,I was home all morning and did not accomplish much.By the time Eva and I met at the office she had this embarrassing tale to tell:


We have been trying to find this client some gas stations.

Ok, so we've been stopping at random gas stations "inquiring of the owner, if they would like to sell it."


A few days ago ,we went to this gas station on a certain corner in town ,and we were told "yes , we do want to sell"

We give the kid our cards and he says"oh , my dad , he will call you!"


So , this morning Eva calls our buyer and says


"I found a station for you, right here in town ! But they really want to sell it so you will have to act fast!"


"Where is it located?"


"it's at bla bla bla corner"


Dead silence from the client, probably, as he is trying to refrain from spewing coffee out of his nostrils.
He can finally speak" You're trying to sell me my OWN gas station?"


Crap! he already owns it. the stupid manager was just acting like the "big man" like HE owned it.



*cackle* all I can say is I am glad it was HER and not me. I would have crumbled with humiliation.



But not my Eva.....what does she do?


She says"Well , since you already own that, do you want to buy a bar?"



GO EVA!!!


He's going to ask around about it. :)



Then our 2 afternoon appointments ...one canceled and the other did not bother to call at all.



We also got lost ,looking for some land, ate lunch at the Sushi restaurant and then we quit early...4:00.



I got home and spent the next 3 hours finishing a book I had started yesterday. And I must say it was a damn good book! The best one I've read in quite some time.

It was called "Heart shaped box"
by Joe Hill

and NO it's not some stupid romance novel ...as the title might have you believe. It is a horror/ghost story. Go...Go get it NOW and read it!!!
The library will have it ..when I return mine. :)


Goodnight ya'll!
