Which one is it?

I think this is kind of funny so I will share it with you.  This is one of those I can't believe you did that moments! The other day I was on the phone while heading into work. After parking my truck I realize when I was getting out I was missing something - it turned out to be my keys. I look back in the truck and find them still in the ignition so I reach over, pull them out, hit the lock button and head on into work. I have to be at work @ 7:30. I came back out @ 11:00 to go lunch. I heard a vehicle running; I couldn't make out which one was running. I didn't see anyone in their vehicle? I leaned over towards the car parked next to mine trying to see if it was that one. I get into my truck only to learn that it was one still running!  OMG!! How did that happen? That thing ran out there for 3 1/2 hrs. I was lucky I had gas in it! I usually run it close to E otherwise I would have been stuck -madder than an old wet hen cause I couldn't go to Walmart at lunch!

Weekend Fun

Jim and I went out of town this weekend with two other couples.We loaded up our four wheelers and headed over to Texas. We have been meeting the couples that were with us on Friday evenings to shoot pool and dance going on ten years now. A few weeks ago we picked this weekend to go do something different. We decided to go to Silverstar Saloon in Terrell, Texas. We had heard they had live bands playing on Fridays and a huge dance floor! When we got there we found out the Extreme Midget Wrestling Federation was there this weekend. Everyone had doubts about going to watch; but we were there - so we did. Before the show had began I thought it was strange seeing little kids walking around even though they were with adults, this is a bar!?! The show had parts in it that were very provative; certainly nothing that any little kid should see. We came close to walking out. We stayed to hear the band play afterwards. They were good. On Saturday, we rode over to Jacksonville to go to the Muddy Gras at River Run. Jim let the Garmen take us there, which is not always a good thing, it took us down the windiest back roads that were through the middle of nowhere. The couples that were with us had never been four wheeling the way we do - in the MUD!! We did not let the rain put a damper on things. When we finally got there we had so much fun! There were tons of trails and tons of people! We were so muddy and wet! I'm so glad we got to go! Maybe they will want to do it again sometime!

The Feeling of Self Gratification

We have been painting my daughter's room this past week. Well I say "we" she helped me the first few days. I finished painting on Sunday. At the end of the last few days I would say all I have left is a few "touch ups" and that would turn into painting the whole wall again or the trim again. I wanted to make it look like we had a "real" painter come in and do it. I just wanted to make it look good for her. I know I went around the trim on the ceiling five or six times trying to fix the place that didn't look just right only to sometimes ending up making a bigger mess.  I kept finding more and more things that could be painted. The cabinet in the closet, the coat rack and a bookshelf. We painted the room a purple with black trim. Its the kind of purple that when the light is on it is bright but when the light off it is calming. On Sunday, Jim got in there with me to do the final touches. He painted the ceiling fan black (which looks fabulous), he replaced the outlets and the switches all to match and he hung her mirror back up. When it was all done I felt so good!! I was so proud of the way the room turned out after all the hard work. It was beautiful! I couldn't wait for her to see it!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! 

Have A Good Day!

On Saturday my husband and I were headed back to the house from shopping all morning when we got all the way down N. Lakeshore Drive only to be turned around by a policemen right before we got to the stop sign at the end of the road. We asked him what happened? He said that there was a real bad wreck at the end of the road.  My mind starts thinking OMG I wonder who was involved? Where are the kids? Are they OK? We were told that it was a 2nd grade teacher from Timmons and her two girls.  My daughter has gone to Timmons for 6 years. What if it was her 2nd grade teacher? How is she going to take it? I know how much she loves the teachers at Timmons. All I could tell her this morning was to Have A Good Day. I only hope in reality it is a good day for her.

The First Essay

I wonder if I am the only one who feels that any spare time they have they should be reading about how to write an Memoir? This is only the beginning.  I have read all that is assigned, worked on my list. Why am I procrastinating about starting to write the draft. Will I wait until the last minute? My listing goes from one extreme to the to other but all evolves around a subject. What will I focus on? Not sure yet. What will I write to keep the readers fom putting it down?  I have never been one to read alot usually get bored and my mind wanders off to anything other than what I was trying to read. I have noticed when reading the assigned essays how that has not been happening. Maybe I had just been reading things that were boring and could not keep my interest? I am anxious to see what  actually comes out in the end!!
