Last week Jen and I flew to San Antonio for some much needed girl time.

She had been telling me about a place where the locals go

Jen raves about the frozen Jack and Cokes...the girl knows her stuff, they’re like a spiked Slurpee:

The Margaritas were good too

So were the Nachos:

We did some shopping and got pampered.
When we got back home we went to have Greek food, we shared this:

So we could have dessert...fried cheesecake:

There are no words to describe that yummyness!

I was with a friend the other day and we got to talking about break-ups, I won the “Shallowest reason to break up with someone” award, I once dated a very nice guy, but he drove a diesel truck, a nice one but...no matter how good he looked and how clean he was, he always smelled of diesel fuel, and if I rode in his truck I reeked of it too, and so that was the end of Mr. Diesel.
I didn’t tell him that was the reason, I’m sure it was something lame like “it’s not you, it’s me”.
Shallow.

My 20s were a blast, but I don’t think I’d do them over, I like 40ish...no matter what Smizzo says, being almost half way to 50 is not bad.

Facebook, I love it and hate it.
I REALLY did not need to find out that my male cousin is into other men’s feet.
I know he’s gay, but I didn’t need that little detail…

In other more important news, it’s MAY!!!! My birthday is coming up, I love birthdays!

I work in a huge building, it’s still pretty easy to spot a few familiar faces after a while since I’m on the main floor, a few people stand out for one reason or another. One woman in particular I have secretly named “Lucy Loudwalker”...you can hear her clod hopping from a mile away.
She wears big thick heels, and they are so clunky, anyway today I had the pleasure of entering the ladies room at the same time as Lucy...and
O
M
G

She pees like a race horse...or a cow on a flat rock...or whatever you want to imagine...SO LOUD!
I need to check for an Adam’s Apple because, seriously! she has to have a penis.

Of course y’all know I’m going to get a picture of her, so Friglet don’t even ask me...I’m on it girlfriend!

Have you ever had so much going through your head, that you think your brain is going to explode at any minute?
And even though it’s a lot of stuff...you can’t help thinking and thinking some more, and it feels kind of great to have your brain on the verge of exploding...because the stuff? it’s good stuff.

Just saying.

Sucky sucky Blogger...but I love you long time

I’m sneezing,my eyes are itchy, the yard boy cutie is here, JR is talking about grilling...can you say Spring?

I need to do something with the yard, it looks like hell but we just haven’t had time, we’ve had something going on every weekend.

Last Sunday we drove about 3 hours to a town where JR and his family had Barbecue years ago

My in-laws love re-living family traditions and I love that about them.
The trip was fun, my FIL drives like a bat out of hell, my MIL talked non-stop for the first hour, then she fell asleep in the back seat with me, kept bobbing from side to side...gotta love making memories.
On the way back we got lost, of course the men refused to admit it, and I realized that the GPS is the new gas station...remember back in the day when your dad would refuse to stop and ask for directions? now men refuse to consult the GPS, just as annoying!

The past week was a hard one at work, lots of changes and some extra drama on the side, so I was happy to see it end.
Friday night JR and I went to the opening of Lone*Star*Park, I love horse races but we were there to see our favorite Country band...OMG how I love live music!
Saturday we had a get-together with our couple friends, we went to Chris and Jen’s for Cocktails before dinner, Jen is my wine buddy and she always manages to find just the right bottle:

It was very tasty too:) and I usually don’t care for reds.
We went to dinner at one of the couple’s homes and had a great dinner, we laughed the entire night and I swear, my tummy felt like I’d done at least a thousand crunches!

This morning we got up early and met JR’s kids and the grandbabies in Ft.Worth for the Arts festival, we go every year and have a ball, the weather was perfect, cool and breezy with lots of sun.

The food, the food the fooood...so good, which brings me to a little item I need help with, my butt??? it is doing something different these days and I do not like it, it’s going flat and I refuse to get old man ass!
So do those toning sneakers actually work? they’re not as ugly as they were when they first came out, so which are best?
I’m leaning toward the Reebok Easytones...my second question is, do you have to actually WALK for them to work???

Do y’all ever feel like life is just passing by at breakneck speed? I feel that way lately.
I’ve been working long hours and even some Saturdays, I don’t feel like I’ve done much for myself lately. I managed to get in a pedicure with a girlfriend last week, and even then I had to rush off to a work event.
It’s been a while since JR and I have had a date, I start to get punchy when we don’t get time alone together...and yet, I still love my damn job...what’s wrong with me?
End of whining, for now:)

I can always count on my TiVo to make me feel better, My favorite Housewives are back and thankfully Vicky did return, I can do without Jeana but I have to have Vicky. Have y’all been watching? Did y’all catch Tamra’s scene in the bathtub with her new man? O.M.Geeeeeee!!
I thought I was watching Red Shoe Diaries, Heh! I don’t think she will live that one down anytime soon, wowza!

What are y’all hooked on?
