Fun Stuff The first 4 casualties of Season 7 are (drum roll please): Plus Size Model Joanne, Angelina’s Twin that can’t sing, Colton “The blond eyelashes” dude, and Garrett “throwback from the 70’s bad hair” guy. See, I can’t even remember them they were so unmemorable! I even tried to look up pictures, but I was too tired to wade through the American Idol website slide show with all 123 pictures. Ok, I found a pic of them, so I stole it! Shhh… (hat tip: idolbloglive.com )
It’s been a while since I posted. Since most of my readers are family anyway, they know what has been going on with our family. My Dad was diagnosed with Cancer recently and of course it’s been devastating for us all and we are learning to cope with it all. My Dad is a strong man and I know he’ll get through this the same way he got through many other issues in his life, with humor and strength and US!
So anyway, lots of stress, work, family, feeling funky my own self, and then my Mom ended up in the hospital! When it rains it pours! She was having trouble breathing, so she is there until she is better.
Upward Basketball is almost over and so we will get our weekends back starting next Sat. Yard work and spring cleaning are in the works. I might even finish painting my bathroom from 3 years ago! My friend Laura is working on a house they are renovating and last week I went to help out for a while. I noticed what a transformation a simple coat of white gloss paint can do, so I am inspired to grab a paintbrush and paint the trim all over our house because it is so yellow from age and wear. It will give our house a clean fresh look for not a lot of money.
So….I guess that is all I got for an update. I hope the bone crushing fatigue and the foggy fog will lift from my body and let me get back to doing what I want and need to do, life. I’m smiling on the inside, way deep down, just waiting for it to come to the surface. :o)

Pay attention to me...me me me... What do 13,000 women, giggling, sore muscles, getting lost, and the Alamodome all have in common? Why Women of Faith Weekend of course!! We have returned and boy do my sides hurt from all the laughing and carrying on. On the way back home, we took a detour twice. Once at the San Marcos Outlet mall and the second on accident when we missed our exit to Hwy 35East! We got sort of lost on the way to Ft. Worth when we were supposed to go to Dallas. All ended well, but boy for a minute there, I was thinking I was going to have to sleep in the van and eat a three musketeers for breakfast!
Except for 10+ miles of walking, too little sleep, and the seats that squeezed my butt off, I had a fabulous time!! I really enjoyed all the speakers, singers, actors, and Women of Faith porch pals. I even had my picture taken with Patsy Clairmont and I asked her to sign my purse and she did! It was soo cool.
She is such a sweet cute petite soul and I enjoy her so much. She makes me laugh and I feel a connection to her. I believe we have taken a picture together before, I’ll have to check my scrapbook.
It was a great weekend spent will all my favorite people and I was glad I stayed the extra day and drove back with Cheryl. We always have such a good time.
I think I my cup is full with WOF until our next trip in November to Oklahoma City….:D

Drama Chronicles These last two weeks are by far the worst in my whole adult life. Work, illness, depression, and coping. Things I shouldn’t have to deal with, especially work, but I guess it could be worse, I could be sitting outside in a box begging for food money like this guy. Except, he had a cool sign and I don’t. I just have a t-shirt that says: WILL WORK 4 SHOES and I’M TOO PRETTY TO WORK! 
Anywhoo…life sucks at the moment and I am dealing with it the best way I know how; lots of hugs from the people who love me and prayers and support. What more could a girl ask for?
