Let me just tell you, this past weekend kicked my ass. Up and down the street and over and again. Lots of working. Lots of phone calls. Lots of running errands. The money made was worth it, both nights…paid another 200 on my computer debt…but my mind and body were at the breaking point.

I came home last night, ordered a pizza, then put myself into the bed by 8:30. I dont remember falling asleep but I woke up at 9. Sometimes the what the body wants, the body gets! Feel great now and am enjoying my late morning with some fresh hot coffee and a fiber one bar…prepping for the weekend!

well. now it seems as if I have nothing to say. I’ll be back when I do.

lots going on. big named comedian coming into town for a show tonight put on by my friends, and I’m bartending and helping out with it…we’re right this minute waiting on the ABLE Commission to approve our temporary license but who the hell knows what we’re going to do. There’s been lots of snafu’s, none of which are on our part, that may keep us from getting the license to serve beer tonight…

Tried borrowing the one from the events center, but as usual, things in my mind are far simpler than they are in reality and it was just too much. Not as easy as me just taking the number and operating under it…so with that, and the fact that it was the next day….well I’ll say it again. Just too much. whatever. I’ll figure it out elsewhere…

I didn’t do much of nuthin yesterday. A little laundry. A little cleaning/picking up. Nothing more than superficial though. It was cloudy and muggy and rained last night a lot so no yardwork. Was super tired from the week.

I DID have brunch with Roger and Ma. They were up for a shindig down at our former college and swung up to the city to see me and borrow a blow up mattress…well. they loaned it to me to begin with so it was just a return actually. Anyways, so good to sit across from to faces that I love so much. Who knew…all those years ago when I walked onto campus…that I would find love and family? nice.

so today I’m sippin coffee about to watch my True Blood. We are at the mercy of ABLE. If they come through and assign us our temp license to serve, then we run around and get stuff together. If they deny it, we go to plan be and I start more laundry and grocery shopping and whatnot.

That’s it from me this rainy Monday. Hope yours is painless…we’ve got another short week ahead! HUZZUAH!!!!

This was breakfast at Central Market…and ima trying to post photos from my phone!

Can I post content from my Blackberry? Let’s see, shall we?

Posted with WordPress for BlackBerry.

went to see McCrackin today. apparently I was almost too inflamed and tense to even crack….ALMOST.

the man is a miracle worker. and I have been eating the ibuprofin. and slathering the biofreeze.

kids…it’s a bitch when a waterslide can bring you down.

I wouldn’t trade one second of it.

worked all day, had a fabulous fantasy vacay improv text with Kizz…Gave Noodle her 12 year old haircut and got schooled by the child once or twice…oy. save us all from that 12 year old!…then had some gazebo….porch....patio…sitting on dirt beers with LT tonight and just talked it all out.

i actually feel human tonight as I doze off…remind me tomorrow about my Life/Math Epiphany.  gah.

can.
hardly.
move my neck.

gah.

Home from our Great Wolf adventure…I dont know how Wonderboy and Bonusmom are doing this morning but holy hell. I think I got the whiplash on a waterslide. Seriously. My neck started hurting on the second day, but I thought I just slept wrong. It progressively has become more and more gimpy. Sheesh. Old.

The trip was fabulous however. We swam for hours and hours. We hit the wavepool for hours and hours. We floated the lazy river. We rode waterslides. Multiple times. We played inside and outside. We played MagiQuest. Which…let me just say, is pretty brilliant. It’s an interactive scavenger hunt/video game kind of thing. The kids have wands. There are clues. One must traipse up and down the stairs because, ya know, there’s clues in the stairs. Many quests. Many adventures. Wonderboy left,after two and a half days of questing, as a Master Magi. The questing really revs up after 9pm when the waterparks close…imagine all the kids…hot stairwells…loud reveberating stairwells…holy crap. It’s a lot. Even Wonderboy said forget it a time or two. We revised our playing strategy and kicked some butt the next time around!

The trip home was fairly easy, minus some construction traffic. I was exhausted and hurting quite a bit. I watered the front and the back then I took some muscle relaxers and hit the bed before the sun went down. true story. Everyone is getting more water this morning because uhh yeah. We’re in the upper 90’s here this week. Sheesh. it’s still June for crying out loud! I’d had my a/c set on 80 while away and let me tell you, we got home about 3:30 and it took a full 10 hours to cool the house down to 70. My poor a/c…

It was a great trip. I’m gimping and hurting but it was allllll TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! Hope your weekend was great, that you had good Father’s Day’s, that your week is grooving right along. For the Normal’s…it’s your Humpday!!! Wahooo!!!

Have a cuppa joe. Drink some water today. Smile awhile.

FINALLY!!!! It’s the day of departure!!!

I have most of everything collected and ready to load. Fridge clean, litterbox clean, trash out, yards watered, garden fertalized and watered, cats all fed and loved, house picked up to return to, car cleaned out and detailed and filled with gas…

Need to shower my body (FINALLY in a warm shower today) run some checks to the bank to deposit, go to work and fix M’Lynn’s hair then she and I are getting pedicures. Lest you think I”m being ridiculous…you seriously should see the cracked heel I’ve been walking around on. That has to get taken care of before I’m in the water for three days and scraping it on the bottom of pools…ouch. Then it’s home to load the car with two of my favorite people and all our stuff and head south on I-35!!!

GREAT WOLF LODGE HERE WE COME!!!

have you seen this place?

Man oh man…we are soooo close to our mini break!!! Great Wolf Lodge is within smelling distance. My lawn is mowed, and after Monday’s flood sufficiently watered. The fridge is mostly cleaned out. Bills are paid. Things left to do…go clean out car so I can take it to Red Carpet today.  Fill up with gas. Packing, which means a load or two of laundry. Today is a mostly full day…there is a bit of a break where I can take my car and perhaps get a pedi. My heels are cracking and I’ve been picking and well…it’s horrifying.

Oh. Must firm up plans for the cat/garden care while I’m away.

SO EXCITED!!!! Wahoo!!!

Also in the Exciting News File, I spoke with my insurance company yesterday about my leaking roof and water damage in the spare room due to the monsoon on Monday. I was afraid it was going to be another claim, HOWEVER they are just tagging it onto the current one. What a blessing!!! So next week I need to get an estimate on repairing the drywall and ceiling and send THAT in. Sheesh. What I would really like? a little extra…windows? or perhaps a freaking trip. yeah, I know I should put it towards debt…sigh. We’ll just jump off that bridge when we get to it, ya?

ok. I have to go outside and clean out my car. Happy Friday Ya’ll!!! Enjoy your day, stay out of the heat, drink some water, laugh a little…

i love you and I love george clooney.

Wanna know what cures the MEH’s and the BLEARGH’S and a twleve hour day full of color education, a friend being hurt and a long ass day of listening to people’s drivil while you know you must get home to mow the ONE CORNER of your lawn that is growing as well as figure out why there it no hot water?  And since there is no hot water figure out how to fucking light your pilot on the hot water heater???

What cures that is at the very end of your day, I mean the VERY END, after twelve hours of all of it, station back in order, hair swept, tips collected, all of it finished, when you’ve gathered your purse and are THIS CLOSE to walking out the door…

you say, “what in the world is M’Lynn doing here?”

and she walks in and says…”I was wondering if you were about to get off work and would like to go to the Waterford and get a cosmo with me and talk awhile?”

“YES! YES! YES! YES! Please GOD pick me! YES!”

so we went to our place at the Waterford where the cosmo’s are mixed juuuuuuust right, with that tiny sliver of lemon in it and the bitty bitty ice flecks floating around in that oh so pretty hot pink juice….

Hopefully…figuring out how to light that fucking hot water tank will figure in as well…thing is? it’s over 90 every day this week. I can shampoo at work. I’m not that worried.

Here’s to you on your Humpday…I hope that you were as blessed as I was with a most splendid surprise at the end of yours.

CHEERS!
