My wandering mind....

Another week is coming to close on this glamorous life of mine.

Glamorous? Yes. I choose glamour.

In my world, I am a rock star. The family; my worshipers.

The dogs; my entourage. (lord knows, they are surrounding me at all times)

Just kidding. kinda.
Never mind.

Ok..... Reality.....as I was cleaning the floors this week, my mind was just a wandering......

My good vacuum is on the fritz. and by good, I mean it is just one step above a feather duster.

So, I was stuck using a crappy lil' vacuum that does not work well at all. In fact, I think it spits out more stuff than it picks up.

SO, I gave up and just got out the broom....oh, I won't dare complain about how many square feet of floor I was cleaning, but using a broom for it is pretty much a joke...so as I was sweeping, I was fantasizing about having this: THE DYSON.

Why not make my life easier.....

how about a few of these babies zooming around the house? that would be less labor for me..... Oh heck, while I am at it, lets get one of these....

Why not just go all the way..... it is MY fantasy.....

While I had all this fantasizing going on, I was also listening to the Ellen DeGeneres show. Isn't she just the best? I just can't imagine anyone NOT liking her.

On this particular day her guest was Drew Barrymore. She is just so darn cute and funny too.

I love her also.

Me thinking: *I think I shall call them up and see if they are free for lunch today; We would get along so wonderfully. And I am working up an appetite*

*I will just have MY people call THEIR people and we can do lunch.*

Then, I remember that floor cleaning fantasy is NOT just a fantasy...I don't have time to DO lunch, I have to clean the floors. *snapped back into reality* whiplash*

(besides, MY people don't get out of school for a few hours...So, who would make the calls for me??)

Seeing Drew Barrymore though, reminded me of a movie I saw a year ago or so....it was a documentary type movie called: My Date With Drew . Has anyone seen this besides me?

It is not something I would normally watch, I think I had a "sick" day in bed with nothing but time. But anyhoo, if you ever see it coming on TV, it is really cute.

The premise: Brian Herzlinger (a regular guy) has a huge crush on Drew (since he was a kid) and he has limited money and a few friends to help him arrange a date w/ Drew in 30 days. He uses every connection (read: 6 degrees) that he can to get a date and you follow the entire saga....It ends really cute and makes you fall in love with him and Drew.

So, there you go. You can see how my mind wanders.

And it the midst of it all...my floors are clean and I don't EVEN remember doing them. :)

This & That

My car is bossy....Is yours?

The other morning in the 20 minute round trip getting Lo to her car pool and me back home...

it told me:

I need to change my oil.

I need gas.

I need to buckle my passenger. (Cocoa)

I was waiting for it to remind me to take my vitamins, get at least 30 minutes of cardio and start eating more greens.

Geeze...it is like having my MOM with me everywhere I go.

**UPDATE**

Today, it is very cold here. cold for us Florida Flamingos. My outside temp gage was flashing between 34 degrees and ICE.

Ice?

Oh, lordy, how does the car know I need to pick up a bag of ICE today????
Now, that is a SMART car.

Thanks Jenn!!!

I will be passing this on to some sweeties as well....

Grandma J....for she continually makes me laugh w/ her blog as well as her comments here.

And to my wonderful friend Dawn , who is one of the sweetest people ever....I sometimes feel I am not worthy of her niceness. Then I get over it and remember she loves me for me. :)

Rebeckah at Life with Kaishon. She is a real sweetie pie of a girl...Plus, I have her completely fooled that I am nice.

Go forth and share people!!!

A picture is worth......

A thousand *gasps* from me whenever I look out our front door and see this sight....

In a matter of minutes...the sky changes from peach/pink/grey To a deeper pink/peach and purple

And then it was gone....

Love those Florida Sunsets!!!

Photos from the fair.....

You will notice a theme here.....

food. and not the good & healthy kind either.

I awoke Saturday morning with the demon seed inside me. Girls, you know what I am talking about. PMS. I only get it for ONE day. AND it is not pleasant for anyone involved.

I think I may have mumbled this statement as we loaded up for the 2 hour drive:

"I don't really want to leave the house...but if I have to go, I had better get something fried in my body soon, or someone will end up with a fork in the eye"

We ate...in no particular order:

Corn dogs, Roasted corn on the cob (extra salt)

Elephant ears, Sausage and peppers, french fries, cotton candy, turkey legs,

a bloomin' onion....

oh, talk about gluttony.

We did not eat this though. but they looked good...it was tempting....I mean, I love pickles and they are fried...what could be better?


Bloomin' good onion.



cave girls and their turkey leg.

We also did not eat the fried oreos. Tempted though....

Lo, got some funky hair twirly thingy that G'ma and G'pa bought for the girls...really cute.


There was lots of spinning, twirling, flipping and screaming.

Not me though, I just ate my way through the fair.

The people watching was very entertaining...I am always wondering what some folks are thinking when they get dressed to leave the house. hmmmmm.

It was a gorgeous day, but when the sun went down....ohh, it was chilly. and windy.

Ok, it was about 50. But that is cold for us Floridians.

Coach and my FIL had on shorts...but they at least had on a sweatshirt...men are silly.

I did not reach my goal of eating so much that I would throw up....I suppose that is a good sign. Even the next day, I did not feel bad.

Lucky for my family, no one got a fork in the eye. This time.

Till next time.
