BUT – look at these

Oh Yeah!  24 hours from now I have to be ready to evacuate this house.

This is the home I brought my almost 17 year old son home to.  He has lived here longer than I ever lived ANYWHERE (until he was born).

Do you think I’ll make the deadline?

The Maze

Of course I will.  That’s what mommies do!

Admittedly this was not my choice.  I could have lived out my days in this house.  I raised my family here.  They had same age friends in all three houses across the street.  My left and right neighbors both lost their wives (Nick is 96, Robt is 85) and I’ve been privileged to spend time getting to know them as people, not just “old folks”.

A Home for Barkley

I carried this boy home from the delivery room nearly 17 years ago.

I stripped the girlie wallpaper off his bedroom walls 2 weeks before he was born.

My husband painted it white and I drew Lion King creatures on the walls.

So, I gotta get moving…by the way, I’m wearing the “Boot” on my almost not broken anymore foot…just for the move.

Next time you hear from me I’ll be in the new pad.

Beta Males on Top?

July 15, 2011

Another of my New York Times articles has revealed a stunning piece of scientific research. Baboon Study Shows Benefit for Nice Guys who Finish 2nd The finds indicate (IMHO) that Alphas may have to endure excessive stress levels as they leap from one continent to the next, shooting pirates, saving damsels and making the world [...]

July 14, 2011

Howdy friends! I’ve neglected you.  I am sorry about that. You are in my thoughts though. We sold the house and purchased a new one. The swap is one week from today. My hub and son worked for 3 solid hours last night gutting the garage. I just kept saying, “Throw it away!” A year [...]

Important information not taught in schools

June 14, 2011

Greetings my friends, I snarfed these tidbits up from one of those eternal email chains.  They are actually good tips (especially the dryer ones). Take your bananas apart when you get home  from the store. If you leave them  connected at the stem, they ripen faster.. When you buy a container of cake  frosting from [...]

Agritourism – a fix for us mosquito-fearing Cowgirl Wannabees

June 10, 2011

Happy Friday Friends. Hope you all have wonderful plans to lay around and do nothing this weekend. Or at least to do something really fun. I discovered Agritourism yesterday while grazing the net.  We’ve all heard of Dude Ranches, but apparently in the last few years Farm Stays have become really popular.  A city dweller, [...]

Not all guys are Weiners

June 9, 2011

So if you have ears or eyes then you know that some politician named Weiner (really?  Weiner?) exchanged one-liners AND a bonus “picture package” with some anonymous females via the internet. I repeat myself.  AGAIN! Don’t put anything into cyberspace unless you want it on every Billboard and Rotating Marquee on Earth! In  Your Tweetin [...]

Nobody Listens to Me

June 3, 2011

Nobody listens to me. NOBODY! I am finally acknowledging this fact in a public forum. Examples: I ask a question…People go right on talking. I asked a co-worker, “How was your trip?” He ignores me and walks in the other room. Me, My spouse and son are riding in the car.  A conversation is occurring. [...]
