I am no Pioneer Woman

However, I did make a pretty good batch of spaghetti sauce today.

Bryson liked it, double ear infection and all. Yes, you read that correctly----my sweet little chunk-a-monk has a double ear infection in June.

one word: awesome.

Oh, and if you don't know who the Pioneer Woman is check her out.......I love her.

Bail money

remember this blog???


well, guess who COMPLETELY forgot to call Jury Services to see if I was needed?


I swear, I am so stupid.


So, I might need you all to scrape together some bail money for when they come to arrest me. Seriously though, I might have to pay a fine. What a kick in the butt.


And to think I was SO excited about it in the beginning.

Cookie Monster

and proud of it!

Goodbye Old Friend........

I spent this weekend helping my family clean out our lake house on Lake LBJ. This house has been in our family for 50 years and pulling way from it today felt like a death in the family. I cannot remember a summer that I didn't go there and spend at least a few days. As an adult we have spent wonderful vacations there with our friends and their kids.

No matter who was there or what was done I will always cherish the memories of the lake house.......birthday parties, stickers, staying up late with the cousins, Michigan Rummy, watermelon, the smell of sunscreen, MY boat, torpedo, firecrackers, washers, mustaches, outdoor showers, grilling, playing "stick" with Maddi, snakes, the list could go on and on. (but most of you have no idea what I am talking about so I will keep it short)

It will be greatly missed.

The last sunset at "DA" Place. 6-6-09

This was the dumpster that we filled with 50+ years of crap, I mean household items. And when I say we I mean Unca' PJ.

I am still crying about it so we are going to the pool in the 'hood to cheer me up!

Because the last one was such a hit......

With wet hair, I now think he looks like The Donald.

If he ever looks like Carrot-Top I swear we will cut it!!!

Have a GREAT weekend!

water aerobics......

If you want a good work out go take freaking water aerobics. I tell you what, those old ladies know what they are doing by taking that class. I am so worn out today and I am blaming it all on the H2O workout.

I would suggest going with a friend, it was so much fun laughing with Erin while we were doing this. At one point I thought I might drown because I got such an awful cramp in my foot but other than that it was awesome.

Don't believe me that it is a good workout? Join me at the Cooper next Wednesday morning at 9:00am. See ya there!

BTW, I love the picture I found! I want to adopt that sweet lookin' old fellow as my Grandpa! Oh wait, is he wearing a speedo???? nevermind.

June already?

Am I the only out there that absolutely can't believe it is already June? I am pretty sure way back in February I had promised myself I would lose another 5-10 pounds by summer.....well my swimsuit confirms that it didn't happen.

Oh well, surely there will be too many screaming kids at the pool for others to notice. Better yet, I think I will remain Whitey McWhitersome so that the glare around me will make people look away. I should come with a warning "Look away, starring at me will cause permanent eye damage"

You know what though, skin cancer ain't my cup of tea so I will be as white as I can for as long as I can!

Bring on the summer!!!!
