Fast Cars and Freedom.............

Awe, do you remember the days of fast cars and freedom? What happened to the care free, go anywhere, do anything, didn't have to work but we always had money days? Oh wait, WE ALL grew up and were forced into adulthood! I went to the Rascal Flatts concerts and it was fun, except for all the screaming-the-words (trying to sing) to every song girls who somehow managed to find an "open" space of grass directly behind our ears! Thanks cheer squad 14! Anyways, night was good, beer was expensive and I think I got a contact high from all the skunk around that place! Oh yeah, my girl, Babs, took her 7 yr old to his first concert ever and it was the cutest thing ever when I looked up and when a song was over, he was giving the BIG'OL Texas horns!!!! Ended up at Red River with Amos and her sis, drank some more, danced a little, then left there, picked up WhatABurger and went home to crash!

I forgot to mention the best part of my Saturday was that morning, I met up with Baby J and Shell Bell at the zoo! He was so excited to be there!

No too much to report for Sunday, lazed around, ate, lazed around, ate some more and lazed around the rest of the day. I do have to admit that I am excited about this upcoming weekend. My Cwbycrshr will be in town so, I am planning on spending some quality time with him and my boys!

I'm out..........................................

What is a REAL friend?

Last night was a good one, hung out at the usual Wednesday night pub, drank some beer, had some laughs and played some poker. I also ran into a friend (or shall I say acquaintance?!?!?) who I have not talked to in a couple of weeks. we will call him.....hmmmm......."Billy". The last conversation that I had with him a few weeks ago was at lunch and I thought we were just moving along with our friendship and then, out of nowhere, without any warning or anything, he quit calling and he would not return any of my calls. Well, like anyone else would, I started questioning "why" would he just blow me off like that? I didn't really know the reason for all of that and I must admit that it bothered me and upset me. See in the short time I knew "Billy", I actually considered him a friend. I felt so comfortable talking to him and we had/have alot in common. Well, he was at the "pub" last night and sat across the bar from me. I didn't say anything and I just sat there until he threw a piece of ice at me, then I waved him over. He came over and I asked what was up and he said that he had a very tough week and had some personal issues that he was dealing with last week and that he completely shut down to everyone. I told him how I felt when he didn't call. He honestly thought that I didn't consider him a friend and didn't care if he called or not. Well, "Billy"~you are wrong.

The whole moral of this story is to say this: In the times of hurt, sorrow, disappointment or happiness, no one understands that better than a friend. I hold my "friends" very near and dear to my heart and will always cherish each one of them. for me, if it wasn't for my friends, I don't think I could have become the strong person that I am today. I hope that all my friends can say the same about me for, no matter what, I will always be there for them, including the newly acquainted.

Just saying how I feel............

Isn't it so much fun..................

that we have this wonderful place to escape to on a daily basis and just be silly, to let loose, to grip about our day, to get a good laugh when we really need one and to just know that there are people out there that really give a sh*t about our life!

I definately have to give Thanks to Cwbycrshr for turning us on to this! As I sit and look at our "links" section grow, I get more and more excited!!! I just wish that I was as creative of a writer as Horsey, Amos, Cappy, & Cwbycrshr! Oh well, It's still good to just be ME!

Okay, now that I have rambled on about that~I drank too much last night, got little sleep on the "little" couch at Dar's place and then got woken up by a freaking cat standing on my chest staring down at me! Other than the cat part, I kinda felt like the Gypsy Rambler~traveling from town to town and couch to couch! Headed home this way-too-early morning to get ready for work and came on in! Wheeeee, the auditors were NOT here too!!!! Good thing cuz, I just don't think I could have dealt with them today.

Now, not real sure on how tonight is going to turn out, I always say that I am going to go home early, but that never happens! I think they let me win at Texas Hold'Em just to keep me out late! BTW~Horsey, I AM staying at your place tonight so, you are NOT to lock me out again! Even if I do get locked out and get forced to drive back home, I WILL NOT be making a pit stop in Allen and yes I felt to need to say that since I am way into this short, fat, bald, guy whose belly jiggles all over the place!

x's and o's to all my peeps out in blogland..................

Another day..........another audit.............

Yes, we are still under the microscope with the State Securities Board and it is just soooo much fun. So far, we haven't been shut down so, I guess I can take that as a good sign! I am hoping that they will be done today~I would hate to come in tomorrow with a hangover and face them! They really don't have any personality and what little they may have it is VERY dry! Hell, maybe we should take them to Happy Hour! I do know one thing for sure, I sure as hell am not staying til 9 o'clock tonight! Okay, maybe if I absolutely, postively had to, I would but, it would suck!

Sorry to hear about Horsey's bulldog being all jacked up! I think our boys are going to be out of town this weekend so, I am stuck having to play golf on Saturday and the Rascal Flatts concert on Saturday night!

It's after 5 and I gotta sneak out....................

Ah, Monday, IT'S OVER!!!!

Weekend was great, Amos & I grilled out with Cappy & Cowboycrusher on Saturday night. The fijitas were a little tough but, the homemade hot sauce was the bomb!!! Never ask a mexican to make really hot hotsauce cuz, you ask and you will receive! Cappy~do you have the feeling back in your tongue yet? Yesterday was a family day with my mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law, sister, brother-in-law, son, nephews and Grandma! We just played, swam and ate~relaxing!!!

On to today, I love my job so much that I thought I could never have a stressful day.....boy, was I wrong!!!! I am so glad that it is over!!! I did get to see my boy J (he's such a cutie) at lunch though~went over to their new office and it is nothing like up here!! No marble floors, no fountain, no elevators, etc.......

My girls have been pretty busy as well....what is up with that? K, not much to write today, brain hurts too much.

it's beer-thirty and I'm out the door................

Saturday already?

I just read my girls blog (Amos) and oh my, the tears came too!!! I love ya too Amos and thank GOD that Cowboycrusher and I are some forward people! It was fate, it was destiny, ah hell, they are beer drinkers and so are we so, glad I could help!

Had a great time with Cappy, Amos and Cowboycrusher last night!!! By the way, Amos, thanks for snuggling with me this morning!!! I think it is just going to be a (as Horsey puts it) grillin' & chillin' night with the "neighbors"!!! Fajitas, rice and beans sounds good to me!!!

gotta go to the grocery store...............

Blah, Blah, Blah

Not much for writing today.......kinda in a blah mood.........wanna drink more beer...........wanna play more poker.........wanna sleep..............wanna be with a nice boy.............nah, not the last one! I am glad my girls had fun last night at Love & War. Horsey text messaged me with "good band here" so, I gotta borrow the 2 disk box from her.

Sunday is Father's Day so, I gotta go find a 4 Tops Greatest Hit CD for my dad and new house shoes. Does anyone out there under the age of 40 wear house shoes?

Just got back from my liquid lunch with some of the brokers and Jamey. Amos, Jamey said "HI". No Horsey, you have not met Jamey. Known him for a few months, not much to tell, he is going through a bad, bad, divorce and we haven't done anything in the past couple of months cuz, he caught his ex cheating on him with his best friend and the tables have turned to his favor in the whole settlement discussions with her. Therefore, he is not doing anything to possibly give her the upper hand.............

and the blah continues................

It all started when..........

I drank Miller lite draft! I am not a big fan of draft beer~as ya'll know but, for some reason, every time i am at that place~i end up having a draft night. is it just me or does draft mess you up more and faster than the bottle? all I know is this~i had a blast playing texas hold'em and i won the first round. we really don't need to discuss the other three rounds!

happier note, i am finally getting a key to horsey's house so, i don't get locked out again! btw~ja~could have made it in 14.5 minutes!!! gotta kick x's and o's to mar and her boy~they are jus t the cutest couple ever!!!

cowboy crusher got us started on this and i am hooked. it is like my coffee~addicting!!! thanks!

i need a nap......................
