I'm never to old for this!

I went to a girlfriends house last night and three of us tried on dresses and talked about jewelry. Taking pictures and looking at them to see which ones look the best. Kinda silly if you ask me, and honestly I totally expected something different. You know hanging dresses from the door frame and saying "yeah I like that one", eww no!!" We have a 4 day seminar coming up and are suppose to dress up for a few of the events, like really really dress up, red carpet style!!!!

So anyways, I'm thinking this is so silly, why am I driving all the way over here again?

but no, there's a mound of dresses thrown all over the bed. I could not believe it and all I could think was "I'm not getting into that dress" WHY, I have to be so prudish I don't know, but it was weird and felt a little silly to be gawking over some dresses. And it made me feel  like I was in junior high...okay maybe not jh, but it made me feel like one of those silly girls I  use to laugh at. I never did anything like this before, prom, my friends and I didn't do this. Weddings not all, we looked for dresses and said okay looks good, or no it doesn't. But never dance around the rooms in about 8 or more dresses. (okay I didn't dance around the room) But we didn't try on a million dresses, for the most part we all went on by ourselves and did what we needed to do, no silliness.

How ever when it was all over with and I got in the car and got home, I thought to my self, " I"m not to old for this, that was fun!!"

We laughed, making jokes. Got opinions, and got to not think about anything else for those minutes.

Footless sleep

I'm exhausted, but very excited about all the projects going on!! First and for most, last night was our very first BOOK CLUB meeting!! I read a lot...I don't think that word really explains my reading habit. Sometimes I go through books by the day, I read everything nothing is out of the question. I love the atmosphere I go to. And yes there's an atmosphere when I read my books that's different then the one you stand in right now. I love the blanket of another time and place that wraps me like a burrito. And my poor husband, he often ask me " are you reading again?"

Sometimes I wonder if it's some sort of sickness to have ta, have something swirling in my brain. I am comforted by the book in my hands, the smell of the paper and the characters in the pages, whether they disappoint me or make me laugh out loud, they are always right there, I could reach out and touch them they are so real to me as I'm reading.

So I wanted to share it with others who liked to read and made a book club! We decided to do a new book every two weeks, ha can you believe that. They wanna read just as much as I do and want to come more then once a month! I love it!! So I've started rereading my book and have the questions ready and wait patiently for July 27th :) And our talk about EAT PRAY LOVE

Second my Tuesday nights are filled with my ladies, and facials! Which I love doing, I also love the thought and knowing that they are all behind me no matter what!!

I also have signed up to do Habitat for Humanity, which is very exciting all in itself, I've never done one but have wanted to for a very long time. I also have a four day seminar to go to at the end of the month, which will be followed by a week vacation, part spent in Conroe and part back home.

We have parties almost every weekend, and have been remodeling our house. Working full time and taken care of the house while my husband works over time is draining! I wish my car drove it's self so that I could nap on the way home, a driver would be even better sitting in traffic every day for 3 hours and having a driver would give me so much time to my self!! When I'm sleeping I feel like I still have one foot on the floor ready to race. My head is so heavy in the mornings I have a hard time moving it but I always wake up to my legs dangling off the bed!

War II

I brought this BB Gun home...on that Saturday we walked outside in the morning drinks and gun in hand and sat down and waited. I"m tellin ya we were going to get these squirrels!! Finally there's a squirrel, he gets to shooting at it, I never actually saw him go down but he says he got two of them?!? The whole time I'm thinking our neighbors think we are crazy, they're thinking those hillbillies sitting in their back yard shooting dinner or something!!

Next thing I know, theres one over here in the big tree, he shoots at it, shoots at it, shoots at it....finally he gets him to go down, the darn thing went to flipping outta the tree.  No more are around so we got to work on other things and go about our day.

I standing outside later on watering and I see this thing jumping around, I walk over there and its the freaking squirrel. He did not expire! It's sounds so cold hearted, but these things are very destructive and they are over populated in our neighborhood. So I say honey you need to take care of that squirrel, he says " a cat or something will get it", eww gross, that's not the point cause at this point I see him and I feel horrible now and alittle sick. And I'm double thinking what we have done, if I could ask them to leave I would, if I could hall them off somewhere else I would, we shoot around them hoping they will stay away, I put red peppers out which I was told will keep them away! Nothing is working!! They are ruthless!!! So I'm thinking there's no way I personally can "take care of it " now. So I walked away and I hoped my husband was right. The next day I'm outside watering the other part of the yard, and both dogs are going nuts by the fence. I take a look and this stinking squirrel has fallen (because he was trying to get up the tree) in between the fence and tree. So Ginger pokes it with her nose and he moves, he starts going up the tree so I squirt it with the hose, and Scott's says "what are you doing?" I show him, he goes and gets the gun. And shoots him, I said are you sure??? He says yep!"

Monday morning I get a call from my husband who is laughing now and he says " you know that squirrel?, well apparently he got back in the yard and dogs where over there messing with it, the darn thing grabbed ahold of Patton's paw ( our Boston terrier) and Patton was going in circles with his paw sticking out and this squirrel hanging on trying to sling it off. I couldn't believe what he was telling me!! Finally the squirrel went flying off of his arm, and he took care of it for real!!

Can you believe that? it's like a zombie squirrel!
