About Me

My photo
I am a 45 year old living in South Texas with my husband, two daughters and bonus son.....enjoying life and trying to find my way through :) I was born and raised in the UP of Michigan, graduated from MSU, and have been living in Texas for the past 22 years.....so I guess I'm officially a transplant. Or so I've been told.

Favorite things

So, I'm basically "borrowing" this from the Big O......I don't even watch her show anymore, but have heard that she has and shares her list of favorite, fabulous things.....so, not that anyone asked but here are some of mine.....

*   Havaianas flip flops or slaps....whatever, same thing
*   riding in the Jeep with the top (the Jeep silly) and doors off
*   morning coffee at the campground....it just tastes better
*   Jimmy Buffett concerts....on the lawn of course ;)
*   sounds crazy, but my iPhone....I love it.....the new apps are great
*   sheets and towels dried outside
*   rum runner hibiscus
*   the sound of palm trees in the wind
*   the rumble of side pipes on my car.....reminds me of childhood.....good times

Life's A Biatch...


Oh happy day!  Today I scored 2 Jimmy Buffett tickets for the upcoming concert near Houston!  I am tweaked!  This will be the very first "real" concert for Miss Priss.  So, the lil parakeet thinks that she needs some new threads for the concert.  I made the mistake of telling her about all the merchandise that will be for sale at the event.  Yeah, bad idea.  So, I might as well start selling plasma now to afford all of the t-shirts and hats.  Oh well, feck it....it only comes once a year!  I'm going to call this a late birthday present.
So, in sticking with the JB theme, we headed to the beach today.  Did I mention that I am dragging a$$?  We flew most of last night at work, so I have the big 2 hours of sleep under my belt.  Silly me, I thought that we might actually be able to catch a nap on the hammock while we were beaching today.  Not so much.  Spring Break is going on in sunny South Texas right now....good times.  It was not the normal quiet day listening to the waves and gulls.  
I have to throw in this lil tidbit from this afternoon.  There was some white trash on parade there.  AND they just so happened to snuggle in right next to where we were chilling.  So, they start unloading the sedan....kids, dogs, case of Pap Shmear Ribbon beer, carton o'cigarettes, you get the flavor I puttin' down.  Did I mention that they didn't even bring a cooler because I think their game plan was to consume the entire case of beer before it even lost its frosty goodness.  Oh and there were TWO people working on the case o'beer.  Welcome to drunk driving 101....it is always best to bring your kids along on these lil misadventures.  Seriously, make it stop people.  There is no wonder why I will *always* have a job.  With any luck, maybe they had a tent and were planning to stay, I sure hope so.
