IT'S TUESDAY.....

And I'm kinda here...for a minute or two.

I wanted to tell about my road trip with Dazee the Saturday before I ran away to....

But it won't be much cause we didn't do much. The place we went to is a hoppin little town in September when they have their celebration. But now? Hmmm not much to see or do, other than ride around trying to find a certain house Dazee was sure she would win in a contest:)

 And walk through a couple of little shops that I FORGOT to take pictures of. I'm so stinkin bad with a camera. But Dazee found a cute little pair of bootie things for a new baby boy that she hopes will be added to the family. Umm ya, if it's a girl she has someone else to give them to:) And I bought some awesomely smellin room spray in a little bottle with "Krumpet's Home Decor" on the lable. Did I say Yummy? Ok, I didn't but I shoulda...

Then we had to stop for food at a little Italian kinda place...dang good Pizza! Here I am sitting next to the silliest sign out in front...
(kyped from her blog)



 I mean, whattheheck did ya expect me to do?  Dazee made me do it anyway, she's such a bully...ya right:)

 And before we left town, another stop for one of my favorite things to put in my belly....
Fries and Ice Cream!

What? Well ya, of course you eat them together.

This one was headed straight to my mouth :)

Never heard of doing that? Just try it. Unlike Dazee who turned her nose up at the thought...

She just ate that green kind...thinkin it was so much better.  NOT EVEN Dazee!!

Ok, this is all I got for now. Hopefully Dazee did a better job  telling about it....while I ran away:)

p.s.
You should go read Dazee's Frackin Post from last week....right on my friend!


XOXO

PICK A COLOR....

Any Color



And that's what we'll wear....

Mwahaha!

Ok, so what does this all mean? Whattheheck am I up to now??

Well.....

If anyone else remembers this goof ball...


Then you know I'm headed on another road trip:)
We been trying to get together for one but something always got in the way. You know, things like her needing to go somewhere to take WhatTheFrack pictures. Me trying to keep up with....life. We even had a trip set a few weekends ago but....

She Woke Up SICK! blah...

But Today, we're doing it! I told her she could pick where to go this time. She thunk up a good one. So's not to feel left out of any of the planning part...ahem... I had a lightbulb moment. What does a funluvin couple a gals wear on a funnerthanmeltingpopsicles day? So I cyber said to her.."Pick a Color, any Color" etc. That still leaves her in charge sorta, since it's her turn to pick the roadtrip.

So I wait ALL DANG WEEK for a color...ANY COLOR! And what does she cyber tell me on Thursday night?

Purple or Blue...she couldn't decide.

Wha?? Two of my least owned colors....You're bruisin me Dazee!

But guess what I found in my closet.....

Yep, a top that's both! So I'll wear BLURPLE!

She'll learn to mess with an eclectic me:)

*snort*

And ya, I'll remember the camera this time.....

See ya later

XOXO

ROAD TRIP....

Yep, heading out to Colorado soon as I get away from the computer. The one with Blogger in it. The Blogger that won't let me comment on certain Blogs this morning. And won't show some of the video's on my other posts. WTH Blogger???

Ok, so much for ranting. I need to be happy today. I AM happy:) Going to have an early Turkey Day with some of my kids. My daughter is Operations Mgr for Cabela's and there's no way she can come to Ut for Thanksgiving. You know, all the Black Friday stuff...

So I'll gladly drive the 5 hours. And go shopping with her when I get there. And cook dinner for tomorrow. Ya, she let me know that last night... And smile and be giddie every second I'm there:)

Another daughter and her family can't come. Her mom in law had a heart attack and is home trying to get better so Dusty's there to help her. But two of my son's and a daughter in law will be there later today. And I'll get my son's to help:)

I'll share pictures sometime after I get home. Till then, here's pictures of coming home from another road trip. You'll see why I say I live where the lizards come to die....mwahaha

After a somewhat winding road....

 


If ya look real close, you'll see what seems to be a road leading to...no where.. See it there on the left?

Ya, this is it...

 

It does lead somewhere

 

Ya, Lizzards and much much more:)

Ok, more another time. I need to get on the road again before the snow hits this afternoon....

Have a wonderfilled weekend!






Carry On....

I'M A BULLY........

But it worked!

Ok, here's the scoop. I've been blogging with a gal for awhile and we talked about meeting up for lunch sometime since we're not so far from each other. Maybe you know her...

Crazy Daze and Night Dreams  aka DAZEE

And she's a hoot, both on her blog and for real :)

We decided a few days ago that a weekend would work for us both, and the sooner the better. I wasn't sure which one but...
well, let me share some of Saturday morning's email ....

 DAZEE:
Call me a wuss, but I hate driving in unpredictable icky weather.  Can we make it another Saturday? 

ME:
WUSSIE WUSSIE WUSSIE 
Okfine,  You're off the hook this week. I understand...somewhat. But that's cause I've lived in the mtns most of my life and flip the finger at snow:) I won't be here next weekend and the one after is Turkey time, so we'll just figure out another day, no biggie. Now go find your blankie, stick your thumb in your pouty lil mouth and wait for summer:)

DAZEE:
Well then tell me how bad is the weather on the side of the mountain. You are a big meanie. It's on like donkey kong sister. We are going to meet today whether you want to or not. Now tell me where you want to meet, a time, and bring your weapon of choice!

Mwahahahaaa, I'm such a bully:)

But WTH, it was sunny here on the desert.

So, we met in Tooele, which is about halfway, at Applebees

First thing I noticed was we drive the same make of car...ok, her's is an SUV. And that neither of us wore a coat. Even the guy who seated us commented on that.  Wuss....

We lucked out and got a cute little waitress who's originally from California...Lizzie

So we talked and ordered lunch and talked and talked and talked. We have way lots in common. I was surprised. Guess I'm not the only weird one:) And why didn't we get pictures of our lunch? It was yummy spinach dip and a pasta dish and we both took most of that home. But, we did get some dessert. Ya, we couldn't resist... but we shared it, this is from my side...

Looks like a mutant snowman with no arms. Or buttons, or face....but see the tie? Hmmm, might be a Sailor snowman.....with a dirty cap...

Looks more exotic comfy from Dazee's side...

And she likes to take pictures more than me.

 I'm always too busy yackin...

I thought I'd better archive the remains:)

And yes, I GOT THE LAST BITE OF ICE CREAM....woot woot:)

And of course, we split the ticket....

And....

She's soooo into that camera !!

We finally got someone else to take our picture, and we had to have Lizzie with us:)

I felt the need for a whole bench seat to myself, Lizzie is smiling big and Dazee is showing some cleavage.... What more fun could new blog friends have for a first time!

Oh, and before I go, here's a picture of the icky weather out the window at Applebee's. If ya look really really close, ya might see a little flake......

And my sunshiny trip home...

And proof that I DIDN'T wear flip flops!

MWAHAHAHAAAA:)

You might want to go visit DAZEE's post on this. I'm sure she'll have a different take on it, probably tell you she couldn't wait to get away from such a dingbat ....


btw, my weapon of choice was a big hug when we met...
And in her defense, she did hit some stormyness from her side of the mountain. That's her story and she's stickin to it :)

So, how was your weekend?







Carry On...

ACCENTS, HAIR, AND SNOWMEN among other things...

SOME FUNNY COMMENTS AIMED AT ME WHILE IN DELAWARE...

"You have an accent..."

This coming outta the mouth of someone from Carolina..(can't remember if it's north or south)

Of course I said

"No, you have the accent. I talk normal..."

Ya, we all laughed.

Another time when all the seafood lovin guests started mingling, and I was sitting at the table waiting for the next tray of goodies to be done, a guy came to me with his hand out and said...

"Hi, I'm ....(um ya. I'm bad at names too) and you are?"

So I smiled and said...

"Hi (whoever), I'm Jake"

His reply?

"Definately not what I was expecting..."

So I said

"Well, I guess it coulda been George"

Yep, more giggles...with accents.

Then when I met PJ'S dad, the first thing he said was "A female with a boy's name huh?" I guess he had a childhood friend named Jake. Guess I didn't remind him of that friend :)  I just smiled....


 Ok here's a few pictures. I missed so many cause my camera battery died and the other one I brought along wouldn't work! So two days later, I realize it's not the stinkin battery with the problem, it's the bone head who put it in bassackwards....the one with the accent....

AND if you're lookin for pictures of PJ...."It's not going to happen".

That's a quote from her. Ya, she was havin a moment...or three.

She just don't want everyone to see how utterly awesome she is!

But if you look real close, you'll see her hiding behind a blanket in a couple of them :)

And you'll have to get your eyes into the notsofocused mode...

You know,  me .  cameras .  accents . BLAH!

 I took some shots of her house that maybe she'll share with you sometime. But I'll show a few...

I love her fireplace trinkets. Someone may recognize the 'FRIENDS' thingy, it was a gift from another blogger many of us know, and I fell in love with it but I don't have a fireplace..

She's planning on extending the mantle soon. Ya gotta have more room for all the awesome stuff...

Here's Sister Shirley laughing it up with Chef Bob.
Chef Stu is still in the cooking mood back there in the kitchen...

And here's a little shot of the four legged loves in PJ's life, Reeses and Snickers. (or is it Snickers and Reeses...you know me and names...) Such sweeties, but they bark like crazy when you come into the room, so you need to let them smell your hand, then everything is fine. Pretty funny:) Especially when you realize they're guarding a head of hair. Do you see it under the quilt? Ummm ya PJ, you whimp!





Here's a little more of Sister Shirley Shirley Bo Birley. (ya, we call each other names) She's holding her lil rescue boxer. Bo found her wandering on the street. Only she doesn't have room for her with 2 other dogs, so she's trying to find a great home for Keeper...ya, you can smile:) Know of any????

Oh. and notice the cute Rag Quilt sorta sticking up in the air? Ya, that's  PJ aka the head of hair..

 I won't even try to BIGGER this one...tooo blury. I think you can guess who that is with Sister Bo.
PJ poked her head out of the quilt knowing SHE held the camera....but would she take a snap of herself while in her posession? Hmpf...




 I had to get a shot of Baby Kittay stretching out with her whogivesadamn attitude.
 She's soo fat fluffy:)

 

We went on a little drive the day before I left. I got to do some shopping. You know, a little something to wear that came from clear the heck across the nation! Chef Stu, aka The Source, is a great chauffeur. Besides, he knows the way.

PJ was doing the "Do NOT take any pictures of me!" thing again. Gotta love her:)

 

Ok, more another time.

Oh wait, do any of you remember NELSON?



Ha, wait till ya see what he did!!

Soon :)

p.s.

Just a little side thingy here about my Wordless Wednesday last week. I've never eaten much seafood, especially somethin in a shell. But Chef Stu put this thing in front of me and said to try it. Welllll...since I did tell him I'd try to taste everything....and he stood there making sure I did...

So after taking this, umm..kinda squishy thing out of the shell, inspecting it, pulling a face, then seeing Chef Stu watching patiently, I put it in my mouth...

Ok, the flavor wasn't so bad. (but then what did I have to compare it with?) So I started to chew and realized why I didn't want to keep chewing....I mean, it WAS a mussel. Muscle?

So I hurried and swallowed. And there's Chef Stu with his all knowing smile saying "how good it was, huh".   "Ummm, ya, not so bad". What he didn't know is that the stupid thing was stuck in my throat! And it wouldn't go down...at all!

So I politely got up from my seat as he turned back to the stove, and went to the ladies room to get the stinkin thing out before I fainted!! Whew....

Bless his seafood cooking little heart. This is what I came back to :)

Gotta love him, he dressed these ones up for me:)

And I chewed real good this time.

But wanted to take a picture for evidence, just in case the second one done me in!

So goes the story of Jakes first, and last, mouthfulls of  mussely things from the Atlantic Ocean:)
