Summer of 2009

It's been an interesting summer. Very interesting. I think I may have even lost a few of my 'sanity' genes (as if I could afford to loose what I have !) As a matter of fact, the picture above may be an indication of the fact that I am officially LOONEY ! Anyway, I will try to sum up this summer for you, briefly (is that possible?).

Is it EVER a good sign to start the summer w/ attorneys and a big move on the hottest day of the year? I am thinking....NOT ! As my father stated during the move 'it was enough to make even a Baptist Preacher wanna cuss' !!

Moving in 150 degree weather (make that Texas Heat) is NEVER fun. Throw in a master bedroom suite that suddenly became known as the 'Suite from Hell' . My oh soooo Heavenly Bed , not so Heavenly.

Enormous and light as a feather (can you hear the sarcasm?..baaahhhaaahaha).

Legend has it that most Texas women are C R A Z Y !!! At least that's what the men like to say. I've decided it has to be THE HEAT...it makes us all nutty !!! I'm just sayin' !! Here's the proof....the summer has been so HOT here , I even experienced a moment of slight in INSANITY....i woke up in a tatoo parlor. And I left with a ring in my belly button ! Yikes !!

Speaking of 'hell'...how about a trip to HELL...

oh wait, that was just Vegas! wheeewww(*shakes head and laughs out loud !) ..but hey, What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas, right? Thank the good Lord. And I would be lyin' if I said it was ALL bad... wink wink, Lance !

Oh, and I must pay tribute to the psychotic homeless bum in D.C. that threatened to "CUT UP" my BFF and I, if we didn't buy him a hot dog...seriously?! I saw my life flash before my eyes...and then I remembered good ole' Abe...always watching over his peeps !!

Thanks Abe !!



My insaneness carried over to my vacation in D.C., with my daughter. I did not win the 'Mother of the Year' award by carrying my baby to a Nickleback concert. Somebody please beat some sense into me....why did I think this was a good idea? I exposed my daughter to profanity, nudity, alcohol, and weed (let me rephrase that...the row of kids in front of us exposed her to weed! lol ) in four hours time. But like I said, IT'S THE HEAT !! THE HEAT MADE ME DO IT !!




And can somebody please explain these pictures to me? Yes, I know that is ME in the picture. YES I am aware that it appears to be ME chasing DUCKS ! YES YES YES !!I realize these were taken in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Wait...I am pretty sure the ducks called me a 'Quack' when we walked by....yep, that's it !!!!! I remember now ! Boy, was I gonna make them pay !









And what summer is complete without a visit to the ER......three words for ya - Daughter. Karate. Broken nose. (Did I mention her boyfriend did it?) But like I always say...just keep "Falling Forward"....hahaha!



Just in case my summer wasn't crazy enough....we topped it off with a good ole' fashion SURGERY !!! Nothing like the stinch of a hospital waiting room ....ahhhh...refreshing !





It's back to school on Monday....I am holding my breath until then !!!!!!
