Now, you wonder, is it worth it to drive for hours and hours to see people you hardly know, yet consider your friends? YES! Today I spent time with Ice and Smoke, and daughter Jessie. Ice was a little under the weather, but she held up just fine. She cooked a nice dinner which was very good. Then we all settled down for a Peggle Party. Oh, yeh, Smoke luvs Peggle! We didn't play against each other, just traded the controller back and forth and played to everyone's oooos and ahhhs, and good shot, and awwww, too bad, etc. In other words, we had an audience which made it all the more fun.

I made it to Arkansas today.  Wow, was that a loooong drive.  But, I will back up a little.  Yesterday, while I was in Knoxville, I went loafing.  What, pray tell, is loafing?  Sorta what it sounds like.  We just hopped in his truck and took off for who knows where.  We ended up at a cheese farm and got to tast a bunch of very nice, very different cheeses.  I mentioned I might like a little wine with my cheese, and he didn't say anything.  We just got back in the truck, and, well, we ended up at a winery.  So we tasted wine, yummmmy, and decided to buy a bottle.  Then, we did more loafing.

Yesterday I started my road trip.  It started strangely....  I couldn't get my kitty in her carrying case.  Now, she was described to me as "quirky" when I adopted her.  One of those "quirks" is that I can't pick her up.  Oh, if she comes to me, which is frequently, it is ok.  She luvs to be petted and scratched and even brushed.  But, if I even act like I am going to try to carry her, she's gone.  Well, not being able to pick her up, and having to convince her the carry case was friendly, was a huge job.  I finally remembered I had some stinky cat food that I got as a free gift somewhere,

I did a bad thing yesterday.  Oh no!  It wasn't my fault!  But I feel soooo bad about it.  Yes, I locked Keesha in the closet.  There, I said it.  It was an accident!!!  I'm such a bad mommy.  I got home from work after she had been in there for almost 12 hours to nothing at the door.  She usually attacks me the second I get the door open and gives me hell for leaving her all day.  But, nothing.  Then, I heard it.  I tiny, distant "meow".  WTF???  I checked the closet where the washer and dryer stay, nothing.  Meow.  Oh no, upstairs.  Then I knew....  I ran upstairs and opened the closet do

Are people on the site really blogging less?  It is unusual for my pic to stay up at the top for more than a few minutes, and now it is still there hours later.  No one going to push me off the edge?  Could it be the thumbs up/down thing really did feed our egos?  Thumbs up felt good, thumbs down gave us a reason to rant.  Now, we don't see the "score", and if there are no comments, wtf?  I know people read it cuz I've got hits, but.....  If I click on submit, will I get labeled a blog whore cuz only 3 pics separate my own?  Well, that's ok.  I do luv to blog about anything and everything a

I just wanted to follow up my last blog with some clarification about what I wrote.  Yes, I wanted her fired!  And, no, I don't feel sorry for her.  I feel sorry for ANYBODY that is stupid enuf to make blatant mistakes that are so bad that they are not only fired, but escorted out of the building.  And, I have no idea exactly what this nurse did, other than pre-charting, but it was obviously very bad, enuf so that she was indeed fired today, but not escorted out.  She was made to leave immediately, tho, which I found to be quite satisfying.  I now know more of the story.
