Oh man am I beat. I didn't think I was tired last night but this morning...different story. Oh and you should see Maxi. He has barely moved the entire time since we've been home.
Going and seeing Zoot run that marathon was so wonderful. Having read all that she went through to train, her total determination to do that race, and after I got there, the fact that she finished.........My daughter is amazing. I also go to see Xxzhibit and his finacee on Sunday and that was wonderful. She's a wonder. She's beautiful, but she loves my son and that's the best part. She's funny and put up with my whole family, that was there, very well. And if you read Zoots site, she uses the KRAZEE in reference to her family.............Well she's my daughter...Where the hell do you think she got part of that!!! My sister in law that hosted that lovely brunch is truly a saint. She worked so hard to see that everyone had a lovely time and I'm sure she knows how much I appreciated that. I miss living across the street from her.
Oh yeah, let me just tell you how wonderful grayhounds are, as in doggies. My Sister in law has two of them. They rescued them and since I've got to go do a thing or two here are some pictures of Koolade and Monster Man
This one is Monster Man. Isn't he a doll
This is Koolade. She's the sweetie from the moment you meet her.. Monster man needs a few minutes before he calms down...
And here they both are on the front porch.
Enjoy...Back later

Deb put hers up so I'm putting mine up
It took me forever to find this purse. I know it huge but after many small purses I have come to the conclusion that I have to have a large purse and I need to live with it and quite buying small ones. This one has pocket everywhere and my little camera will fit in one and my big camera will fit in the main part....

Hey guys...She did it.....She absolutely did it and I was there at the finish line to see her. My sweet sil drove me down there and it wasn't crowded at all. I was crying like a two year old and proud as a peacock that I was her mom and I was there....I'll let you get the details etc from her, after all it is her achievement but I know her xzhibit and his fiance joined her around mile 19 and came nearly to the finish line with her. They dropped off and Lilz joined up and here's the picture (one of many) I managed to get

I just talked to Zoot and she and I are both rather disappointed. She's in Nashville, and going to race. All of that is very good but NikiZ is still sick so she and here\ daddy are still at home and won't be coming to Nashville. Zoot is just a bit upset but she's also terrified or something like that about the race. Her Dad and her brother and future sister in law are there and she was expecting them at any minute this morning so she won't be alone. She also has LilZ with her and that's a good thing.
So I'm asking this of all of you. Give her a good wish today please. She doesn't expect to win but she sure as heck wants to finish. I'm leaving here in about an hour and I'll try to get to the finish line when she does if I can. She said where she was and near the race is pretty awful so she wouldn't mind if I didn't come. BUT. That is not the reason I'm going.....to not be there so I'm going to give it my best.
Miss Zoot is my first baby. I love her so very much and admire her more than I even dare try to say. What she has done to get ready for this............there just isn't a way to explain how that makes me feel. YOU GO GIRL....Please go say hi to her and wish her well, ok

Ok...I'm late this morning too but not because I over slept...I have to get to work early today becuse we're in inventory all day. I don't hate inventory but my feet do. They hate it regularly but with a broken toe......just dammit.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Nashville. I have a map to downtown Nashville so I can find the race finish line and pray I can get there in time for Miss Zoots' finish. I'm also very excited about seeing Nikki again and also my son and his fiancee will be there too...how wonderful is that...
I've got to go get ready. Thanks everyone for just plain listening while I've been in this funk. I think I'm shaking it off now...At least I hope so. HAPPY FRIDAY

Running very late this morning. Last night I bottled wine. Ended up with 4 cases which is nice. More later..
My foot is still killing me. Damned toe.
Tonight is Survivor. Enough said...
Can't wait for my trip on Saturday.
If I get the time at work today I'll post more. I'm doing some laundry right now so I need to go get it out of the dryer...Damn wrinkles you know..
Damn toe.
Have a great Thursday. Life is good!

Whooo...They sent Heather home!!! How wonderful. I fell asleep last night before it was over so I had to watch it this morning and I so dislike her I'm so glad she's gone!!!
There isn't much going on here with me for sure. My foot, where I broke the toe two, count 'em, two weeks ago is still giving me fits. The bruise runs all down the top of the foot. I hope it get better by this weekend or its going to be a stinker of a drive to Nashville..
Nashville you say? Why yes.. I'm going to watch my daughter run in her first marathon and its in Nashville. Well, lets say I'm going to try to get there in time to see her run her first marathon. I was originally going to take Friday off but can't do that. Supposedly I should be able to leave Sat am unless for some reason I have to work on Saturday. (Inventory). I think it will be okay but I'm afraid to plan 100% on it. You know my daughter don't you. Miss Zoot....The one I am so incredibly proud of? Yeah, her. I'm so proud of her for training to run this marathon and she seems to enjoy the running too. It seems to me that just deciding to train and actually doing it rather than talk about it is amazing. I so want to be there, at least at the finish line so I can cheer her on and let her know how incredibly thrilled I am for her. She is one of the most amazing people I know, even if she is my daughter, she's still pretty amazing. Take a little trip over there and wish her luck ok....She's getting "marathon brain" (her quote,not mine) and every little bit of encouragement is going to be great for her.
Have a wonderful Wednesday. I'm bottling wine tonight..whoooooo

So, what did you think about Dancing last night? I still like John (Norm) best just because he looks like he's having fun. I also like Billy Ray, but i didn't like some parts of his routine last night. Tonight should be interesting to see who they send home. I'm hoping Heather Mills goes home, but I've wanted that since the start.
Cubs lost...AGAIN. So much for Lou and a great season
I've made a discovery. Brilliant? No but what the hey....Remember when "Swiffer"came out. The Wet one? Well, I bought the Clorox version. I've been so NOT impressed with the Clorox. I'd mop and mop and the floor never looked good. Understand this. I'm not that picky...So anyway, I mopped twice last week and it looked dreadful so this weekend I went and bought a Swiffer.....HOLY SH*T. What the heck have I been missing. The grime it picked up off of the floor looked like I hadn't mopped in six months.. Just saying folks...FYI
Off to work. I've been awake since 4:30 am and this is going to be a long day...Have a good one folks.
Oh yeah, I made another good step with Access yesterday....More later or not...don't want to bore you any more than I am now!!!!

No, it wasn't terribly exciting at all but I did accomplish one thing I've been putting off for a few months...I've got the wireless laptop printing on the printer with no wires attached. I spend forever yesterday afternoon trying to get it hooked up via the instructions in the book. It was making NO sense what so ever and it wasn't working. There was some password I needed and didn't remember it. It wasn't what I thought it was so.....I decided to set it up as a wired LAN doo hickey and if I had to, just move the laptop to the desk and plug it in. So i did, and before I hooked up the doo hickey I decided to print an email just to see what happened...........That SOB worked. So now I can print from the laptop to the printer from anywhere in the house. Now, those of you who know all there is to know about this stuff this was probably easey but remember, I don't know anything about this stuff. Everything I've ever learned is self taught, therefore, possibly very dangerous. So, I did it and now I have to stop printing everything I see.....I DID IT!!!! Whoooo.....
Next. Amazing Race. I was so glad that Danny and Oswald didn't go home. They're my favorites. If they did, I might have to root for the beauties, or Charla...and the thought of Mirna winning about sickens me
I really dislike Eric and Danielle. Don't tell me he wouldn't have yielded someone if he had to and Danny and Oswald at least had a good reason. Although, I think they could have gotton the money and just promised the "blondes" they wouldn't "yield" them...
Off to work..have a great day everyone. Its finally nice here

Holy smokes, thank god its Friday. This for sure is a very welcome weekend for nothing but rest and that's what I'm going to do.
Good news here. My son, Xzhibit, took his fiancee to Rome to propose to her. I got the email this morning describing the trip from heaven and he proposed, she accepted and I am very, very happy for them. His letter describing his feelings for her and how wonderful a trip it was brought me to tears this morning. They'll make such a great couple. As a mom, who has only wanted the best for both of my children, this is a perfect start to today..Congrats guys.I love you
Have a great Friday everyone.. I'm running a bit late today. Smile!!!

I'm not a shrink or anything but did you see those videos that NBC released yesterday from the "shooter"? They are scary as hell. I'm not going to go into how sick he must have been but in regard to NBC releasing the tapes I do have an opinion. I understand that he's dead so he doesn't know how much attention these tapes are being given but what of the next "sick" person like him who wants to make sure he gets attention even after he is no longer around? He now knows how to get all of the attention that will put him in history for ever. Thanks NBC. Just saying..........
Tonight...
Survivor. I don't particularly like this series but if anyone has to win I'm pulling for Yaoman(sp)...At least they did mess around with it so it wouldn't end up as boring as it was setting up to be.
Cubs lost again......Oh joy!!!! No hope for the hopeless.
Have a great Thursday folks. It's finally NOT freezing here....I hope its improving everywhere....

Here's another day. How much to you get into what happened in Virginia? There are such amazing stories coming out of there. Heroes etc. I'm probably not going to mention this much but I have to sometimes just because it happened. Not far from where I am too and just because I want to.
Now onto what else is going on..
Dancing with the Stars. Clyde is gone. I seriously think he was sooo happy to have that particular event out of his way. Did you see Billy Ray? Seriously, I think he was planning on going home too. I have a feeling all the votes he's getting are coming from the TV show. Certainly NOT from dancing pro's....Wasn't terribly thrilled with Renna's performance. Here's my question. I thought that the contestants had to have NO professional dancing experience so Renna goes from a Reality show to a Broadway show and she's had no professional experience? Am I missing something here?
Off to work. Let me know what you think. Take care, be safe..

Well, my mini vacation is over and its supposed to be beautiful today. Wouldn't you just know...I'mm so torn here. You know I watch Mike and Mike in the morning on ESPN2 every morning but for some reason, today, I'm drawn to CNN. I think the hostess is freezing. Nothing more on that. I have no idea what to say for now...Their days are going to be awful ahead...
I may be getting another doggie. Its up to my sisters who ended up with a fourth and maybe want to find her a house. Shes a mini dachsund (3 of their 4 are). If I get here, I'll pick her up at the marathon in Nasvhille. I'm excited and Maxi didn't seem to mind the night I was there that she slept with us...I thought I had a picture but......nopey. Believe me, if I get here there will be plenty...
DWTS...Clyde or Billy Ray need to go home. Who do I want to go home? Heather.
Have a great day ahead everyone. I'm pretty glad just to have this day....

I was just about to have a major pity party, feeling so sorry for myself. Everytime I get like that something tells me I'd better shake it off cause I have NO reason to feel like that..
Dear God.....help them
3:30 pm....Good God this is dreadful. I can't stop crying and thanking God that neither one of my children were there. Praying is absolutely all we can do for them right now...

Imus is gone...from TV and radio. They just announced it ...That's all. I feel bad for his ranch and the kids he's been helping. I hope he can figure out at way to keep it going. Even if he wasn't such a doll. It's a good place.
I'm leaving in the morning and won't be back until Sunday. Maxi and I have both been to the beauty shop (hah) and we're ready. I'll for sure take lots of pictures and I can't wait to visit my family. I'm going to take my laptop but I don't know if I'll have access to WIFI anywhere so if you don't hear from me....that's where I am. I'll try to send stuff from my phone but Typepad doesn't like that stuff..
I'll probably be back late tonight during "Survivor"

Last day...very last day until next Tuesday. It doesn't matter that its raining etc. It's my last working day for a while and Maxi and I are soooo excited. Big family get together this weekend. It will be so nice.....
Imus is in real trouble, I think. Sponsors are pulling out. Proctor and Gamble..Staples and Bigelow tea. If he starts getting hit in the pocketbook they'll pull him. I've always liked Imus. He was rude, mean and uncouth etc but I figured if I didn't like it, I'd turn him off. He did pick on the wrong people this time. Those girls did nothing to deserve what he said he deserved the suspension, maybe he should have been booted for a month or more but I don't think he should be fired. All these people screaming about the stuff he's said over the years....where were they when he said them? Why are they bringing it up now? Its like they're having a lynching and want to burn him for his whole life. Just shut up. He's a lot of things, but a racist is not one of them.
Leeza is gone!!! Great!!! Now if they would just get rid of Heather Mills. I'm glad Clyde survived and it will be interesting to see how he does next week.....
Off to work. Have a great day everyone....ITS NOT FREEZING!!!!

I love Apolo Ono (sp). That waltz was beautiful as well as Apolo and his partner. I like Leah (sp) too but their dance didn't look quite as good as the waltz did..
Now. I can not stand Leeza Gibbons or Heather Mills. Leeza just looked like a robot there don't 'ya think? Oh yeah, and I'd look as good as Leeza if could afford a personal trainer and a plastic surgeon, beautician...Grrrrr. She did dance terribly on this one. Do you think she was counting on the black leather to carry her through.
(Commercial...Don't you hate it when your pet, as in my Maxi,jumps up and runs to the closet sniffing like there is something in there? Geeze he scares the crap out of me when he does that...Oh yes and this should be the last night with a freeze for a while...Anyone want to see Disturbia? Not me. , I wonder, does Mickey "D" sell unsweetened tea?..I don't want an Expedition, too darn big...end of this commercial break)
I love Ian. He's absolutely beautiful. Cheryl looks like crap with long hair....That folks, was a beautiful waltz. At least in my opinon. Mr McStiff? And did I just see Milton Berle or is he dead? Sure looked like him...Good scores but now I'm going to have to watch for Milton.
Edyta and her never ending quest to be as close to nekked as possible and still be on TV...She's beautiful. Can your body fat be -10%. I liked that dance but don't know if its good....OOPS evidently it was awful.....The scores were awful. Bless his heart. eeek...(Commercial break. Chase Freedom...not a trap at all. George Hamilton eating wheat thins and the "Save the Cheerleader" doing Neutrogena commercials. New Honda...very good idea..Walk up your own steps..who needs a Stairmaster....Krogers chickens. Glad that's over)
Clyde the glide...he's huge and she's short. I wish they could have found him a taller dancer. He's a bit lazy. I think he hates dancing..Len says and Bruno say he's not trying and he looks like he's not. He just blasted the judges........saying they're remarks are rehearsed and they don't know commitment . Len gave them a FOUR.
Billy Ray is killing his partner. He's having a terrible time learing the Paso Doble (sp). I don't think he's counting tonight? that's good. he looked good tonight. I don't know if it was but it wasn't because he didn't try. Hell, he damn near made me cry...Good reviews from the judges on effort if nothing else...21!!!! Yeah Billy Ray....( Commercial...Potty break. (TMI) Lunesta.. Home Depot...Red Lobster yeah!!!. Ugly Betty (never seen it))
Heather Mills........no comment, nothing to say, totally dislike everything about her.....Hope she gets a one. Yeah Carrie. She doesn't think Heather saved the world with one leg. The other two do...Good marks dammit......(Commercial break.....I've missed a few and I'm sure you're sorry. Subway..mmmm, Isuzu, Local News) Joey Fatone...OMG. That looked fantastic. And he got a standing ovation.. I liked that one. Len did too. He said it was the best of the night. (Commercial break.... "Fracture"...new movie..maybe but probably not...Allergies = Nasonex, Monistat eeek, Altima which I wouldn't mind a bit..That would be a nice car. Loaded of course. Wendy's. They'd better be making a fortune on all of these darned commercials, "The Bachelor"..I'm skipping this one.., ) Joey's scores...10, 9, 9, It was very good.
I have no idea what possessed me to do this tonight. Oh well, I'm going to bed. I'll keep you informed tomorrow night....Yea Dancing!!!!!

Happy Friday.....I know, most of you are all done for this week. Off today and that's wonderful. I, on the other hand have to work today. Damn. All we heard on the phone yesterday was "working for non-Christians" etc. Well, if they are, they've been there 20 years which is how long I've worked for this company. Zoot works today too so the whole family works on Good Friday. Here's a funny for especially this year. It's 30 degrees here this morning and our salesmen and a boss are all having to play in a golf tournament at 7:30 am...They do it every year. A customer has a tournament for charity and its always on Good Friday so, instead of wanting to whoop on them we can at least laugh as they freeze their butts off!!!
Maxi is coming to work with me today. Good Fridays are soooooooo boring at least he can keep us a bit occupied through a very very boring day.
Hey Lisi.......Maybe now you'll learn to shut up and stick with something. I'm so glad she's gone....baby...
See ya later...Have a wonderful weekend folks..

Oh well on we go. The Cubs won. It was looking a bit close last night but they pulled it out. I watched it on my laptop and....listened to Pat and Ron on the other computer. It was sooooo cool.
The best thing about this weekend is "The Masters". I can not wait. I love that golf tournament and it for sure is always the beginning of Spring. Its going to be rather cold this weekend so it should be interesting. It's so cold that I may spend all weekend bundled up on the couch..heheh
Have a great Thursday folks....Here's a happy picture!!!

They did it...The Lady Vols are now the "National Champs" in College Basketball. I know that if I had to play agains Pat Summit I would hate her but I don't so I can say she's the most admirable woman I have ever come across. She can represent us and our state any time and any where. Congratulations Pat!!!!
Boy howdy it stormed last night. I swear I didn't sleep more than an hour and that was with Ambien. I was beginning to wonder if I had taken it. I do believe I may be dead asleep by 8:30 tonight. The lightning and thunder was awesome but did absolutley nothing toward me or Maxi sleeping.
Did you watch "Dancing"? I so wanted Leeza to go home. She is singularly the most annoying contestant they have. She also will tell you, or anyone else how wonderful she is...grrr. I kind of liked the one that went home,. I liked her a bunch better than Leeza.
Ok. off to work.. Have a great day today. It's 58 here and I do believe its today's high...Yesterday was 80

Here we are, National Championship for the Lady Vols tonight. It's been so long since we've won, its time now. How about Florida men? Oh well, what the hey....Congrats to them I supppose. Especially if it mean Billy Boy will leave. I rooted for them last year. Can't do it twice in a row...not Florida.
Ok, its supposed to be 80 today. Rain tonight andthen 55 on Thursday. 31 Easter morning...ahhhh
Can dogs eat yogurt? The only way I can get pills into Maxi is to mix it with wet food. I'm honestly afraid to right now since I had been relying on Alpo but they re-called it this past weekend. Any advice?
I have a question....It's Monday. You're having a time telling yourself that its a good day. Nothing bad, just wish the weekend had lasted a bit longer...One of your co workers has been on vacation all last week. They're work is split between you and another worker. Other worker ends up in the hospital on Friday so its just you and your son and friend are coming for the weekend...grrrrrr. So, it was a rough week at work and you work hard to get into a good mood for Monday am...You walk in the door and the rather loud co worker is back and bellowing how "If I had someplace else to go I'd not be here" "I hate this job" etc...How in the hell is anyone in the place supposed to have a decent attitude when you hear that first thing in the morning............geeeeeeeeeze...........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I'm going to give it a re-try today. Wish me luck ok? She might be better today because the "boss" will actually be there today. Wasn't yesterday..
Have a great day guys....

First and most important my visit with my son and his girlfriend was wonderful. She's a doll and she know how to eat lobster. Heck, she knows what to do with a live lobster and believe me these were very much alive and kicking..Oh my they tasted wonderful also. We stayed up late, drank wine and sat on the patio. It was just a totally wonderful evening, wonderful dinner and I'm such a lucky Mom....Here's a few pictures I made a collage out of. Maxi did not really express any interest in those live things..hehehe....
A wonderful time was had by all......well, maybe not so much the three little guys, too bad for them.
