………a storm has come!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wowzers. It is green outside!!!! And rainy. And loud. And windy. And I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sigh……storms are great, they really are!!! *smile* So, I have soft music going and I’m looking out my window and watching the rain fall and it’s so peaceful. Very nice……………
We were going to go to the girl’s game tonight but alas it got canceled. Botheration. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow night. Hopefully the storm will be gone and it won’t be too wet to play. I was really looking forward to that game too. *frown* It’s ok though, now I get to enjoy a good storm!! *smile*
I miss my sisters. I really do…all of them!!!!! Too bad it didn’t work out for me to go to Big Sandy with y’all this year!!!!! Tooooooooo much to do, but hurry back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But don’t get into too much trouble!!! *smile* Twirls, if you read this don’t forget to get the clipboard with names and addresses for the mailing list deary!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m counting on you since I’m not there!!!! *smile*
Tonight I’m going to re-arrange my room. Yep, it’s time and I’m in the mood. *smile* My family will read this and groan. I don’t know why since I do it by myself and don’t even ask them for help. What a women - beds and dressers and everything. Ahh yes, I can do it!!!!! *wink-smile* I know what you’re saying family, you can’t ever come into my room in the dark because you’ll kill yourself since nothing ever stays the same longer than a few months. Oh well…I can’t help it when the mood to move furniture hits!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s so fun and I just love a fresh new look!!! *smile*
So Mel and I were out walking the other day and we saw this SUV with a mattress on top of it. Well, the mattress wasn’t tied down so they were driving extra slow to keep it from falling off. We thought it was rather humorous. Well, they turned onto the street we were walking on and when they passed us, they stopped. Three Hispanic men. My first thought: OH GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve had problems with them before since I guess I look Hispanic maybe, I don’t know. *frown* Anyway, they stared at us and the driver said something in Spanish…..when we didn’t respond, he said it in English. If you could call that English that is. He said: “You are the most beautiful women!!!” I was SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How dare he!!!!!!!!!!!!! They needed to move on before I….well, before I thought more horrid thoughts toward them….there was nothing else I could do, I was rather surprised and taken back. I was about to turn around and walk the other way without so much as a word when Mel said: “Gracias!!” OH THE EXASPERATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was the closest to them so I gave them a disgusted look until they drove away. Then I screamed. MELANIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She said: “Well, I didn’t know what else to say!!!” Me: “Well don’t say THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” HEAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We laughed about it and resumed our walk. Botheration. MEN!!!!!!!!!!! (strange men, not normal nice men!!! *smile*)
My bankers were back at it the other day. In the drive through: “Heeeeellllllloooooo Miss Erin!!!!!……..You know, you have got a killer smile!!!” Someone told me I should have said: “Too bad it doesn’t work!!” UGH!!!!!!!!! I wish I’d thought of that only he’s the really nice one and that might have been a little too mean for him. Sigh. Then, at the Walmart bank, the horrid guy was standing at the entrance….”Well, hello, hello, hello, look who just walked in and put a smile on my face!!!!!!!!!” I completely ignored him. Humph.
Today Sarah Beth walked into the sewing room and saw $45 sitting on the table. “Hey, is anyone going to use this???” LOL Oh man, what a riot she is. *smile*
I’ve decided to grow my hair out. Random comment, I know. *smile* We’ll see if I make it or get fed up and cut it!!
Oh, and I’m eating an avocado, tomato and bacon sandwich. Mmmmm!!!!!! *smile*
Here’s a pic Sarah took of me………..Love y’all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh come on! Why fault men for being honest? Just because YOU didn’t like THEM doesn’t mean that they can’t speak the truth in love
Just be glad they didn’t follow up “you are the most beautiful women” with “hey, muchacha, you want to get a tequila with jorge`?” *BIG CHEESY GRIN*
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh brother……………*rolling eyes* Men need to behave like gentlemen and not go saying things like that to girls they don’t know. It’s inappropriate, true or not true makes no difference. Good heavens!!!!!!! I’m going to go buy some mace.
Stun guns work better
:-) 
Great idea…….very good idea. Now I know what to get…:-)
yes, stun gins work really well!!!!!!! i’ll show you how to work mine dear!!!
it’s a lot of fun and it really does scare the guys off… just intermittently (or howeveryou spell it) zap it and they won’t bother you!!! it’s great
Oh goody!!!!!!!!! THIS could be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t GET NEAR Katherine!!! I’m warning you, Addie, Lizzy, Erin…or whatever your name is. Katherine IS TROUBLE WITH A STUN GUN (she did a demonstration for me once - looking at it was painful)
Sounds perfect!!!!!!!
it’s a compliment, but i totally agree, men should act like gentlemen—– NOT PUNKS AND SHOWOFFS AND BIG HEADS!!!! and you should have told that little banker dude to shove it!!!!
Oh, I’m not worried Kat’s on my side!!!!!!!!! We’re unstoppable!!!!!!!
hmmm…I don’t think you and Kat should get together. There’s something called “wisdom”…and the two of you in the same room together is NOT it
Yeah, I know…………they irritate me…….most of them act like they’re God’s gift to women and that makes me sick!!!!!!!!!
yes…. i’ll give you a lesson on how to use a stun gun….. it’s loads of fun and it works everytime… the guys’ eyes bug out and they run!!!! of course… i like to SING TOO!!! like gracielou freebush!!!!
how do you know that the two of us in a room together could be dangerous? what do you know about me? hmmmmmm………….
Well, you wouldn’t be around ladies if it weren’t for my rib (or Adam’s rib, but same difference). In the chicken and the egg scenario, I am the chicken…wait a minute, I’m not so sure that’s a flattering comparison. SCRATCH THAT!
LOL Kat!!!
*
Carter, you’re just going to have to get over it. So sorry. Tough luck. And we’ll be just fine together because we know how to handle ourselves and have fun at the same time.
LOL, ummmmmmmmmmmm…………..ok Carter………….
of course we know how to handle ourselves… there’s nothing else we need… just the two of us and we are PERFECT ANGELS!!!!!!!!!!! no doubt about it!!!!
get over it carter
maybe I should stay away from metaphors
…and women
…especially ones armed with stun guns…yeesh!
Hahaha… oh, that is such a great story about you chicas! Y’all crack me up…
yeah… what a stupid analogy carter… you can do better than that… i mean… if men were God’s gift to women - He would’ve made them beutiful and had them smell good and not have them you know… well… do what guys to… I don’t want to start a crude conversation!!
WHOA NOW!!! That’s just out of line…
stun guns are for protection, man!!!! I mean, for real… you’d probably have a lot of dead women if it weren’t for stun guns!!!! TOTAL PROTECTION!!!!!!!
Well, if women were God’s gift to men, they’d…ummm…they’d…uhhhhh. Well, darn it. Never mind
OH COME ON…women love flowers and dainty things…(erin- where are you - you haven’t posted for a while- i need another person on my side!!!) are guys really dainty… i really don’t want to take this conversation to crude places, but I will if i have to!!!!!
LOL I agree on the guns Kat!!
*
Ummm, I wouldn’t use the word perfect or angles in regard to myself Kat, but you go right ahead!!!!!!!!!! You’re pretty perfect and we know you’re sweet…and adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*
Men are great………..just not some men, be nice!!!!!!!!!! What would do without them really???? I mean come on Kat!!!!!!!!!! That was a little rude…….poor Carter……
i think you know what i’m talking about!!!! i’ve been around enough guys to know what i’m talking about!!!!
*sniffle*
Awwwww, Carter needs a hug!!!!!! *sniff*
You obviously haven’t been around enough guys to learn how to be nice to them…
OK……..OK……i get it… you all should know that I am kiddin… as both of you know… I LOVE GUYS!!!!!!! AND I COULDN’T DO WITHOUT THEM….moment of truth.. i know it was a little hard, but I had to be sarcastic just a little bit!!!!
of course, lizzy you should agree w/ me about the guns!!!!! they are a nice thingy to have!
Yes, well, I’m glad you were kidding and yes I agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m going to start calling you Kruel Kate. I think it fits
Oh now come on Carter, let’s not return evil for evil here.
come on… I LOVE GUYS!!!! I DON’T HOW HOW ELSE TO SAY THAT!!!! it’s just that I fail every darn time……. sniffle on this side… too many times… maybe it’s just me…
thank you, miss erin, for being the mediator here…
ha, ha…
you wouldn’t dare calling me krule kat… i think you know that I’ve done too much in my lifetime… well… you know… for u…
You’re welcome Kat!!!! And I know you were totally kidding!!!!!!!
It’s ok, I know you love guys too!!!!!!!!!! 
Soooooooooooo, let’s move on to a new topic……..shall we???

yes… let’s move on to a different topic!!! this is getting a little toooooo personal……
He’s just happy that’s all, now what shall we change the subject to???!!??

Basic Truths about Jack Bauer:
Killing Jack Bauer doesn’t make him dead. It just makes him angry.
Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.
When life gave Jack Bauer lemons, he used them to kill terrorists. Jack Bauer hates lemonade.
Jack Bauer was never addicted to heroin. Heroin was addicted to Jack Bauer.
ummm… i think it’s a great idea… hold on a sec- i have to look at the pic again!!
LOL, OH BROTHER Carter…………..

I need to go wash my hair. I think when I’m done I’m going to straighten it!! Time for something different!!!! I’ll be back……

Yeah, exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven’t seen yours curly!!!! I’ll bet it’s really pretty!!!!!!! I’m straightening right now…..it looks longer!! 
I need to do my toe nails too!!! 
*
Yeah, I like it different ways….gotta have variety!!!
I’m straightening my hair as we speak. It’s just, like, totally too curly
ROFLOL!!! Oh, I’m sooooooooo glad you’re taking care of that!!!!!
Yes, indeed, it has been quite distressing. I mean, like, really, girl. This head of hair is just going wiiiild (ok, I’m going to stop sounding like a fruitcake. enough is enough)
Fruitcake……….hmmm, fruitcake with whipped cream on top???!!!?!?!?!!?
ha, ha. Sounds pretty good, huh?
I love fruitcake with whipped cream!!!!! How about you??
Depends on who’s making it…
Hmmmm……..I know what you mean.
Do you know what Katherine just did?!?!?! She hung up on Aron & me to talk to YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ughhhh…
Sigh……..OHHHHHHHHHHHHH WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your loss!!!!!!!
loved the convo and LOVE 24!!! Have y’all heard the one about “If Hillary Clinton becomes President Jack will probably kill her”?
Oh and Erin variety is good, I love to watch you and your hair
LOL, yeah…fun stuff!!!!!!
You love watching me and my hair????……….humph!!!
ya duh! I like it straight, but I like it 3 days old too…:D
LOL, I know you do, but I like it clean!!!!!!!
hm…bummer
I’m sleeping in a braid tonight. I hadn’t tried it since I got my hair cut so we’ll see what happens.
Wow, tell me how that turns out!!!!!!!!! I haven’t done that since I was…………9?? Yeah….
it’s simpler whether you’re 9 or not and since I’m kind of handy capped in the area of appearance it does good for me
LOL, oh man, you crack me up. It makes me sick because you are so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And……..you don’t even know it!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my SOUL! These comments are SOMETHING ELSE! Ok, so yes, I believe strange guys shouldn’t comment on us gals, however, I must tell MY SIDE of this story. Cause I have a confession to make…
*
It was at least partly MY FAULT!! You see, we were walking down the street and I saw the SUV with those precarious matresses and CRACKED UP!! Well, we’re staring at this vehicle and laughing hysterically–rather rude, I thought. So in order to make up for my rudeness, I waved! Just a very little wave, and kept walking (Erin probably didn’t even see me wave). So THEN they pull around us, and this old mexican guy with whitish hair said, “Muy bonita senioritas!”, something else that I didn’t catch, and then kept driving. I didn’t hear any of the english, but said “gracias” anyway. So while Erin is fuming, I’m kind of in shock, but thought it was hysterical! Nothing like that ever happens to me–i just walk into poles, knock over books, and stuff like that. At any rate, I think they wouldn’t have said a thing if we hadn’t have been smiling, laughing, and WAVING…
LOL!! You poor thing… I tend to steer DOUBLE clear of Hispanic males. Perhaps more so because I’m half Hispanic… And I know.
