So it’s my turn to host Bunko for the month of October. If you know anything about me, you’d know that housekeeping is a dirty word to me. I’d rather work outside, or get greasy working on the cars, etc. It’s worse than the “C” word in my humble opinion, so from here on out, we’ll just refer to it as the “H” word.
I’m doing the “H” word around the house to prepare for this auspicious occasion. I’ve had a number of people offer to bail me out, i.e. I host at their home, which I may do in the future, but I felt this would be a good motivator for me to get off my tushie and do what needs to be done.
After looking at all the other ladies homes, mine doesn’t quite measure up. They have these huge homes and very nicely decorated, while I have a small home and I’ve decorated like a bachelor pad. Not my thing. Diz don’t do froufrou flowers and pretty house decorations. What is a he/she like me supposed to do? Not only that, since our home is small, I’m trying to figure out where I’m putting 3 bunko tables for these ladies to sit. I think this means that I’m going to do some temporary furniture re-arranging. This means that I’m going to have open spots on the carpet that shows where the furniture was. Good Lord….What the hell did I bite off?
The nice thing is that these chicks are pretty cool about life in general, so I think they’ll take my humble abode in stride and work with it. Besides…if I get them all drunk, they won’t see the tiny details…right? Will they notice the horrible stains on the seafoam green carpet that I hope to yank up and replace? And who the hell in their right mind would put a seafoam green carpet in a house located in red clay dirt? Certainly not me! Ah well, gotta suck this one up. Hey…maybe I can hire a housecleaner to come and take care of it for me?

"Still Bad, Still Hot Enough To Get Away With It!"
Do you love this card...or what??? My heading is the verbiage in the card. I tell ya, I have some seriously wack friends...and I wouldn't have it any other way! Today we went out to lunch to celebrate Kimmy Lou's and my birthdays. What fun! We scarfed down on Mexican food from Celia's, laughed and cried. Teensy and Al gave me this cool, beautiful tea set. It's totally me with butterflies and flowers, but NOT too froufrou! And Kimmy Lou...she have me a picture of my SerenieBeanie in a beautiful frame. It's on my desk, but I took a picture of it with my phone. I cried. Couldn't help it. I would die for these Ladies!

The Women
So I got together to see “The Women” with some fun chicks. I only found out today that it’s a remake and was just shown on TMC the other day…damn the bad luck for missing it.
I loved the movie, although I think it’s more a chick-flick than anything else. I have to say that the actresses chosen for the characters fit them well. I also have to say that it was so nice to see Jada Pinket-Smith in an unusual role. She played it to perfection. I love Annette Benning, more than Meg Ryan, although she seemed to suit her role, but Annette is in a class by herself. She dresses up and dresses down well.
I left the movie thinking about my girlfriends and how lucky I am to have them in my life. The unusual thing is that I have about eight to ten really tight girlfriends that I admire and love. How lucky is that? If you have one or two, you’re doing good. And although there is a couple at the top of the list, to have a list at all is pretty rare.
Yea, I piss and moan about the bad things going on, and I usually have some serious family issues pressing down, but how lucky am I to have good friends to lean on. To know that I can pick up the phone and they’ll listen to me, help me out, help me hide the bodies, provide an alibi, etc.
Ya know, I think I’m going to plan an evening honoring the wonderful women in my life and invite them all for some fun, food, alcohol and gossip. This means I’ll have to clean my house again…Uhhgg.

Birthday Blues
Tomorrow is the birthday of one of the most beautiful, intelligent, fun, women of the universe...as I know it. A flash of this girls eyes sends me over the moon. To me, there can be no finer woman on the face of the earth. Don't get me wrong, there are some that come damned close, but not as close as this one....
Yes, it's my Serenie Beanie's 6th birthday. I won't be able to spend it with her, as her Mother is in one of those "using children as pawns" modes. My heart is breaking. I was mailing her package to her and the post office lady sees the address and says "this address is close, how come you just don't take it over there?" Reasonable question, difficult to answer. I broke into tears and had the poor woman thinking it was all her fault.
This is one of those times that life isn't fair and you have to suck it up. But as long as she's happy and having fun at school, as long as she is unaware of what is going on, as long as her heart knows that I love her, then I can be ok.
So for all of you awesome Aunties out there, go hug your nieces and tell them how much you love them for me. Look into their eyes and tell them that you'll be there for them No matter what! Breathe them in and enjoy the scent of life with them in it.
Happy 6th Birthday my dearest angel. Your Auntie always loves you!

"If it looks like trouble...Count me in"
The title is a quote from the card....
So our buds call up and ask if we want to BBQ and stay the night last weekend. It was actually a pre-birthday celebration…woohoo! I got to walk around with scallop shells on my boobs…ok, it was a scallop shell bra. Kel wore the coconut shell bra…oooohhh la la. Kel and Rog spoiled me (they always do) with chocolate cake, my very own bottle of Patron Anejo Tequila, an earring and necklace set (beautiful and totally me) and a sweet card (see pic below).
Rog cooked the steak to perfection and we totally scarfed down. Cam had a friend over who’s birthday is on the same day as mine…coinkeydink, but fun. We sat out by the pool and did shots of tequila and laughed and had a splendiferous time! Cam offered to give up his bed (he’s such a righteous young man), but I brought the air mattress and the man and I went to sleep.
Woke up with a headache, but it could’ve been so much worse! We all went out to breakfast and had a good time. Usually I can scarf mine down, but this time, I only ate half. Hmmm…. We lounged again by the pool and then headed home. Thank you Rog, Kel and Cam for making me feel so special. You guys ROCK.
