I’m writing this from my sidekick; we’ll see how it turns out, lol. I am at miss lucy’s house, in her son’s room (the children have been banished to the couches). It’s after 11 pm ct and although we’re leaving at 6 am, I can’t get my ass to bed. Le sigh. Lucy has two VERY talkative yet adorable kids; her daughter is a total mini-me. Mr Lucy grilled some delish burgers then spent the night trying to calm their dog, who wanted to eat Chloe and Josie.

I have fully recovered from Sunday’s nasty illness, thank God. We have been through NV, AZ, NM, TX, OK and now MO. I took lots of pics of mountains; I’ll post some when I get home. A lot of the scenery just looks like what I’m used to.

Miss Sodapop was happy to see her first deer … until she later saw her first dead deer on the side of the road. There have been a few other novel “firsts” although I can’t remember now. The trip highlight is a toss-up between tha black mold infested Best Western in Tulsa or the discovery of the Kum ‘n Go chain of convenience stores LOL. You can’t make this shit up.

My thoughts keep going back to NYC Watchdog. There’s no making sense when a child is taken. Just no sense at all.

I’m going over to Jason’s this evening then we are going downtown for a surprise birthday party. Which means meeting more of his friends. I was trying to figure out what to wear and finally settled on the dress I bought last week. It’s low-cut but I don’t think it’s too revealing. I just want to be comfortable so I can be my usual charming self. I’m spending the night. I haven’t decided what that will mean. It was my suggestion; he works on the north side but lives west. It didn’t make sense for him to drive home to change, then come back to get me, then go downtown. I also didn’t want to drive to his place, not be able to drink and then drive the 25 minutes home at 3 a.m. or whatever. So yeah, we’ll see.

In other news, I’m a total spaz. Today I got the brilliant idea to use some of that Veet stuff instead of shaving. My skin is light and my hair is dark, so any “stubble” on my legs is noticeable. (Damn all you natural blondes!!!!) So the concept is, you put this white kinda stinky cream on your legs, stand around for 5-10 minutes then use this crap-ass piece of plastic to scrape the cream and hair off. Good in theory. But all I was doing was moving the cream around. I wet a towel and used that to wipe off some of the gunk, then said screw it, and got in the shower. As I was rinsing, well, the tub got a little slippery … and this is what happened …

At least I gots the man to put it back up for me tonight.

*Y’all know what I’m talking about right? I can’t be the only one who still does the Wonder Twins shit, right? LOL

Sometimes you hear news and your heart just stops.

NYC Watchdog’s 5 year old son died yesterday. There was an accident at a swimming pool.

Watchdog is my oldest blogging buddy. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.
