Well I'm in the middle of a much needed break. Roadtripping again, but this one is just for me. I'm sitting in my Nanny's house beside the fireplace all toasty and hopped up on cough meds. Perfect combination. It's my last trip to Louisiana before our move to Idaho and it's tugging at my heart pretty hard. I know I could never live here but I do like being so close. Maybe one day in the future we'll live near enough again so I can just jump in the jeep and drive over whenever the urge hits.
But since I can't sleep yet, perfect time to play catch up. Trip down memory lane real quick to hit the high notes of the last month. Life has been pretty crazy but that is nothing new around here.
Prin has decided to get back into the piano. She is "reteaching" herself the steps from her previous lessons and once we settle in Idaho, will be ready to land another instructor. She is also angling for a drum set for Christmas. Help me!
My girl B had a birthday! Yeah B. Dave happen to be here that weekend and took us all out to dinner, kids, us, and her mom, then liquored me and B up, then paid for it all. My man has a solid heart of gold and if someone is important to me, that is all he needs to know. It's gonna be hard leaving my B, but like with my other bffs... I'm not leaving her but taking her with me. Damn I have me some seriously good core friends. They truly lift me up and I love them all. (sentimental H4G brought to you tonight by some seriously awesome shit my doc prescribed for my cough, hello!)
My girl, Prin, chilling. So if the dishes are done, the homework is done and Dancing with the Stars is not on tv.......... this is where she is found. Talking on the house phone with her bff (also, B's daughter). I'm so glad I have Vontage, I'm gonna have to keep one line for the kids and get my office a seperate line. Geez.
Since Prin is doing so good on driving, yo she mastered paralell parking last month..... sweet, Duchess got her chance to get behind the wheel. Dave is all about his girls and while he isn't home much right now, that will change once we get up to him in Idaho. I can't wait to see what mischief comes next.
Big news....... my mother was with me in jail. So long story short, I finally got around to legally changing my first name. It's been a sore spot with me for years and I have "gone by" my middle name since longer than I can remember. So to do so in the State of TEXAS (all caps, by state decree yo) you have to be fingerprinted. That was fun. At the jail, my mom got the biggest kick out of that shit. But then we went and stood before the judge and officially got my name changed. :)
Is my almost teen not the cutest dang thing you've ever seen? She has an apron fetish. Very southern proper of her.
Someone sent me this and I seriously fell out of my chair reading it. In a meeting, and then I snorted. Not so good for the professional reputation. Worse, nobody blinked. Apparently they are completely used to me and my behavior. I am seriously gonna miss my job and my coworkers. Sigh.
We had a huge company bbq recently and I found the bestest bbq sauce on earth. Seriously, order some of this shit and be in awe. I'm in love. Yummy doesn't even begin to describe the ribs that were marinated in this stuff. It's very old school so you heat it up and mix in a little Sweet Baby Rays with it and boom, love at first bite.
My Duchess. Who is not really looking like much of a baby anymore. Now if only I could get her to quite baby talking. Good lord, I have spoiled the "baby" of the family.
The man I adore and crave. If you ever wonder how on earth this guy has put up with my crazy for 15 years, here's your first clue. He has a great sense of humor and has no problem calling me on my shit. I love him and there is the fact that I want to rub up against him any time he's in the vacinity. (ummm yeah cough meds, remember)
Brought to you without makeup, my mom bought all us girls footie jammies for our Idaho trip. Mine were tinkerbell, until Princ stole them. We now wear the same size and she is taking all the good crap!
Um yeah, it's "wife porm", this is seriously the hottest damn picture I've ever seen. My stud, those arms, that gun.........yum. Damn cough meds. Could only be better with an LSU hat.
My girl Prin. We recently had a scare with her health. My kiddo is a healthy, year round softball playing, 6 pack ab carrying 12 year old. Well one with hyper thyroid too. We went in for routine stuff and her thyroid popped in the blood work. Twice. So off to a specialist we go. They have ruled out Graves but we are still looking at quarterly check ups to keep an eye on her levels. Last visit was a miracle, her levels were normal! Yah!!!!!
She was just happy not to have to give more blood, or do another ultrasound on her "butterfly thingy in my throat".
And leaving you with this...... since Prin stole mine, momma found me the perfect pair of footie jammies. Pink with black skull/cross bones on them. Yeah baby. That's so hot stuff right now!
More to come soon. Next week I finish out my last week at work and then move into hunting week at the camp with the kids. Hoping Prin gets her first deer this year!!!!!!!!!!!
