Great weekend right? Weather here was lovely and windy. Couldn't have my umbrellas open on the deck. Grr and arg!  It's been windy all summer. I love a nice breeze, but sheesh!Pup worked like a wild-man all weekend on the hot tub patio. It's looking so lovely! He feels badly that it's taking so long, but I said to him, "Babe, you're a CPA, you do not lay brick for a living." He's rockin' the

The Phenomenon that is SPUD!WOW! What an incredible saga, Spud has completely changed my opinion on South African authors!! These amazing books has captured my imagination, every page filled with the story and life of Spud Milton and his journey in the early South African era. Author John van de Ruit’s writing style is superb, a combination of easy and intelligently-complex aspects that, when com

Bettie Page

  I have an obsession with Bettie Page.It started, maybe, 10 years ago or so for me. I'm not real certain where I first heard of her, although I think all of us have "heard" of her whether we know it or not. She has influenced all of us that much. Maybe not directly, but in ways you are not aware of.She was adorable. The definition of naughty and nice. Schoolgirl charm, open fresh face,

Hot Men Friday

Pup informed me that "Hot Men Friday" is grammatically incorrect.He has also started saying things like, "You should blog about this, _____." or "You should blog about that, _____."Insert my inscrutable face.^..^He feels like a supastah when he's in the blog!Be certain he will be in the blog, but he will not drive content. Ha and love you, mean it! {kiss kiss kiss}But here are two men anyway, jus

Remodel Post - Part Two

While searching for and finding all these pictures (yes, my photo archive is as chaotic as my mind) the contrast between Pup's house before I moved in and after I moved in is startling.He was very noncluttery. I moved in and the house exploded! The man had NOTHING in his basement. You should see it now. I have serious crap. And I have edited hugely in the past few years. It's a tad scary. Love yo

Remodel Post - Part One

I moved into Pup's house in November of 2008 after a whirlwind of a remodel.We both owned houses and had thought that we'd sell them and buy a new house and we could start our new life together.But the market fell to crap and after a brief foray into becoming landlords (that was scary scary scary) we decided to rent my house to my daughter and her husband and I'd move into Pup's house, but we'd h

Captain Obvious

© O'Neil A little while ago my girls taught me a game. I believe they called it Captain Obvious.You play it in the car. You are driving down the street. You see someone walking/driving/biking/running. You holler something obvious at them. For instance, when they were teaching me the game we spotted a woman walking. I stuck my head out of the window and hollered, "You are carrying a yellow ha

Hot Men Friday

I developed a crush on this guy waaaaaay back in the early 90s when he was on the show Home Front. Then in the late 90s he was in the show Early Edition, which I confess to only catching in the middle of the night from time to time.I know he's now on the show Friday Night Lights and I did watch it the first season, but haven't caught it since. Apparently I'm all about Bravo these days. Is that yo

Did I Wake You?

It's early, I've been up for a while already and it's still early. The insomnia has kicked into overdrive the past few weeks. It leaves me headachy, fuzzy, and even more forgetful. Poopy shitty!I secretly love the house when it's this early though. I love padding around with no lights on, although with the electronic equipment Pup has all over you'd never need a light. LED spots dot the living room and the office is nearly lit up like Target Field on game night.But being up this early is weirdly comforting. The neighborhood is quiet, mostly it's dark out there, no one driving on the street, n

We Can't All Be Leaders

I stumbled on this a few weeks ago. It's fascinating!When you find a great idea/person/concept jump on in!On the other hand, just because people are jumping on a bandwagon is no reason to jump yourself.Left and right. Black and white. Up and down.Think for yourself and all that.What do you guys think?

Hot Men Friday

Lots and lots of storms the past few days. 70 dew points and temps in the 90s. It's green as hell out there. Lush lush lush.And my tomatoes are having a grand ol' time. Can't say much for the rest of my experimental garden. I harvested one pepper, but now one of those two pepper plants have died. No flowers please.But I'm enjoying the tomatoes!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I watched this movie last weekend.I was

Distraction Attraction

I worked in corporate America for a long time and it amazed me every day when I would get a 'nudge' email asking if I had read my email. You may know the email. The one asking if you had read the email sent 30 minutes prior. Which meant there was something someone needed immediately regardless of what you might be working on in the moment. Those emails.I'm a scatterbrain (I believe it's now calle

I found this picture of me on Pup's phone earlier this week. I don't look through Pup's stuff - never, ever actually - but we were somewhere and my phone wasn't available and I wanted to take a photo and used his and found several photos he had taken over the past couple of months. He doesn't use his camera phone nearly as much as his last phone that would take pictures in his pants every time he

Hot Men Friday

Do you think he was just born this way? Friday? Really? Nice!This guy has been on my mind. Not real sure why although I caught a few minutes of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof recently and was a little blown away by how damn good looking and how damn smokin' that man was.That movie is worth a hunt-down if any of you guys have never seen it. Elizabeth Taylor is eye-hurtingly beautiful as well.Maggie: W
