Dear Diary Shopping Trip... Green Tea few wedding pictures 9-19-99

Being in the passenger seat has many advantages.Never paid attention to the road, time seemed to fly by both to and  from.  Weather sucked, but not my spirits. Rained the entire 4 hours I was out...not heavy though.  Better than the snow storms we get most years this time of year. Even a May snowstorm is not that unusual. The early Spring is most welcome....Got plans to get out in the backyard today, get my fingers in dirt now that I have the majority of leaves raked up from an earlier adventure out back. First on my agenda will be to pick up the dog poop. Stepping in dog poop not my favorite thing to do.
Bought things I could not live without at The Christmas Tree Shop...have a houseful of that kind of stuff. Some of it I could have lived without. I shit you not! New gazing ball , I needed that. Fake rock for the pond area that has a solar light, could live without.. Will look pretty at night....it's a keeper. Have many of the regular type. New chimes... storing those away for when my other chime falls apart... price was right.
A keeper.... Mother's Day card, birthday card for my only living aunt ( seems odd writing that word..living.. cause I wouldn't be sending her a card if she wasn't. )...Will be 90 in July. Aunt Florence was the 4th and last born to my mother's mom. Four sisters are now just one. Lives in senior housing ...looks great...always was a sweetheart.  Moi is the oldest of the neices/nephews. Getting scarey.  I shit you not!
Potting soil..bought that in WalMart.. getting ahead of myself.. As we entered The C.T.S. for short, there was a pallet of potting soil in the entry way. Big machine printed sign read: POTTING SOIL $29.95.
Same sized bag I had just purchased in WalMart for $4.   Miracle Grow.  Sales woman was standing near so I asks, " please tell me that sign isn't for real. " She looks to where I point , pulls out her phone and pages someone ... says to me, " I wonder if you are the only one that noticed that sign. " Told her the reason I did was because of my purchase just before.. told her what I paid.
D in law #1 Kim, checked inside the entrance as we were leaving ..( $2.95 ) No name brand... I feel better..LOL
No excuse now not to get some tomato plants started in pots. Going to try some of the seedless ( Lord knows what's in that package to put in the soil ) embryo's???? If I remember, will keep you posted on how those did...also will bust that myth that they are seedless more than likely.
Found everything I wanted at WalMart, except door panel curtains. You know the type with rod pockets on both ends. It's  where moi purchased them in the past. Always a fly in the ointment!
Saving the best for last... new camera, for MOI... Last camera I knew how to operate was an Instamatic.. Took a roll of film. Few years back bought a fancy dancy Canon... thoroughly confused me...Jill uses it. Even Logan is a pro at it.... darn 11 year olds are too smart for their britches!!. LOL
Asked the salesperson what was the easiest to operate. Kodak... $80 ... SOLD.. plus that ?? you insert somewhere. Just handed it off to kid#7 to put together. Moi is going to take pics to post... you lucky people, ha..ha..ha.. maybe lucky is the correct word cause my intentions are good, BUT the brain cells left to retain info are few and far between.   I shit you not!
Kim was laid off after 20 years. Kim is 54, I THINK... Hard enough to remember the kids and grands.. Haven't tried to remember the greats birth dates... 2 years ago she got a Grandfather's clock as her 20 year gift, last year they gave her THE BOOT.. Took a student loan out to go back to school to learn billing for doctors. Graduated, interned ....    l O'O'king  for employment. Times are hard for so many, not just those that bought above their means.   Being a senior citizen does have some advantages...a FEW!
Just heard hubby telling Jill's ex beau that you can chew the V.A.'s coffee. Verbal descriptions sometimes get to the point...ha,ha. Ex beau hasn't got the message yet. Doesn't understand " we are done! "
Keeps coming around to hear more of the same...will be pointed to the door again.
Don't know if I mentioned that hubby watches Dr.Oz.. heard green tea was good for you since home from hospital.  Some months ago, moi picked up some with a peach flavor for MOI! In case i'm repeating myself, I'll just say hubby likes everything the regular flavor. Got some regular yesterday...Jill  boiled him the water and brought it to him.... both kinds. Just gave up waiting for him to let it cool down and try it, so I did. Liked the peach flavor, not so much the regular.
Ex beau just found the door again.
Of course she was long gone by the time I got home yesterday at 3.  Came in at 10 still able to walk, Would have got a DUI if she was stopped though.
Today is a new day... feeling upbeat as I think of getting out in the yard and maybe trying out the camera, so I won't go down yesterdays path with her.
Was just offered the peach flavored tea...lukewarm... Mikey likes the regular flavor!  Can't see how anyone can drink the shit I'm drinking, he says..... next time I'll try raspberry flavored green tea.
Prefer my Tab this time of day once my hazelnut coffee is gone..only make 2 cups ... 2 cups regular for hubby, 2 cups flavored coffee for me.
Any one else drink Tab ????  Have for many moons....like, how did I ever gain weight????

Grandson#7 Jill's son Ryan with his Godmother Michelle, kid#9 at his wedding. 09-19-2009

Ryan and his beautiful bride Sarah

Kid#7 Jill ( proud mama ) dancing her 1st dance with her son as a married man.
He chose a beautiful song for them to dance to.



Just went to ask her the name of the song. Looks like she too found her way out the door.
Maybe I'll have that song name for next post,
andddddddddddd maybe I will have some new to introduce you to my family.
First attempt at posting pictures....here's hoping you are not only reading writing..

Just remembered what amazed me yesterday... This new technology! A picture frame that you insert your thingie into...pictures you have taken keep changing in the picture frame,,,amazing, friggin amazing!
 You can tell I have been in the house a long time, can't you????? 
Third or fourth piss call for the dogs since they have been up. The lure of clear weather in the 50's ( just right to not get hot n sweaty ) is beckononing to me. Going to throw some old duds on... getting Down n Dirty.
I shit you not!
That's All Folks!

Dear Diary Frustrations

Mid afternoon... fed hubby homemade chicken soup....Got blasted out for putting pepper in it when I made it.  Ate what he called " mystery meat " in the hospital . Just about every meat was covered in a gravy... he don't do gravy. When asked if he wants gravy, he will say " what's wrong with the food ! "
Moi lifted the dome off his supper plate before his discharge ..it was offered to me as he knew he had a meal waiting at home. Mystery Meat, Dog Shit as my dad would have called it , I declined & I have been told by hubby that I would eat shit if it had gravy on it..  PASS!!!!!!!!!!!
UP to get the newspaper from it's holder outside... ma, can you get my paper ...DOWN again.
Have been lucky to have found a hair dresser to come to the house. Came at noon for our regular appointment. While we were getting our hair cut kid #5 Cheryl came to get her lounge chair that she used to sit outside in by the pool last year..
Did not hear any words between kid 5 & kid#7. Asked if she had spoken to her after kid#5 left n was told I will never speak to her. Cheryl feels the same way.... There has always been the sibling rivalry, but this MAD is because Cheryl wasn't invited to Jill's son's ( grand #7's ) wedding. Was paid for by the bride & groom ..only those closest to them were invited... only some of the other aunts/uncles were invited. Jill & I tried to argue the point to Ryan that she should be invited only to see him get riled up. " She didn't even remember her name until this year...we've been together 10 years " he yelled. We backed down. I shit you not !
Hopefully this too will pass with time... Cheryl didn't speak to her brother kid #2 for a long time because he chose to go 4 wheeling instead of coming to her wedding. My hubby's kids get along better with my kids than their own sisters / brothers. I shit you not!
Last night kid#7 called me at 8:05 p.m. Told me she was drinking water, would be home soon.
Asked if Logan had eaten.....told her 2 plates. Hubby n I dipped ours in au jus, Logan dipped his in catsup.
Wonder how much it costs to buy stock in Heinz catsup.... the way kids use it on their food.... $$$
Sometime after 9 I called her cell.  Was in driveway talking to a neighbor, she said.
Usually I check out front to see if her car is in the driveway as sometime's A FRIEND will either follow her home while she is still sober & take her off again in his/her car. Didn't have a mouth that sounded like she was at the dentist. Ate the plate of food that I left out for her after she nuked it when she came in.  So far so good today.. 4:22 p.m. Night is still young as the saying goes.
If I had found how to type in red last night that would have been my choice of color.
Trying to figure out how to make my own template ...got a program..thought I had a great design.... ERROR when I tried to download it, is what I read. Can't win, but damn it moi will keep trying. I shit you not !
 55 degrees at 4:26 p.m. It's Thursday. What a difference from the 88 yesterday at this time.
Walked by hubby's bowl when I went for the newspaper ( didn't glance in it )...Just now went to heat some soup up for myself & noticed the broth left in it with  DRY PARSLEY floating in it. Lots n lots of dry parsley floating in it.
Useless to point it out.. His vision sucks , so does his hearing.. Not worth the argument... I shit you not !
Got the container to the counter , Jill says " I'm cooking a ham dinner."  "It was in the oven when you nuked the soup." 
That's what I get for sitting on my ass in this end of the house.... can't win. Not going to try..
 Will post this tomorrow. Looking on the bright side, daughter in law #1 asked me if I wanted to go shopping with her tomorrow, Friday. Christmas Tree Shop n Wal Mart Super Store. We have none close, so YES !!!!  Kim will pick me up at 11. Months ago my primary doctor told moi  that I need to get out an hour or two a day. The V.A.just provided hubby with an ALERT thingie so this will be my first adventure off with the knowledge he has it to use in case of an emergency. The V.A. has been wonderful.  If there is a need, they will provide medical equiptment to make life more tolerable for a vet ...and his family.
Didn't think I could afford to go out an hour or more a day, so this blog has become my outlet .Thinking of it as a boiling pan of water on the stove and from time to time moi picks the cover up to let some steam out.
I get lost in here as you can see. ...didn't even smell the ham cooking. I shit you not !
I did it!   I did it!  New design, which I will probably make changes to. Can't ask anyone for help as this blog is MOI's secret. from family.  Ate a very nice evening meal. Also had a very nice night. She stayed home.... I slept well.   In 3 hours moi will be out for a few hours .. YES! YES! YES!
That's All Folks!

Dear Diary Pissed off to no end

It's a picture perfect day weather wise.... 88 at 4:15 p.m. It's a record breaking day. Temperature going to drop 10 degrees each day, for a few after today.   88 degrees with bright sunshine  doesn't match my mood. 
  I shit you not!
Kid#7 left at 1p.m. while kid#4 was putting a sealant on the bulkhead incasement.  Sometime during the 1st hour he asked me where she went.. Told him she was socializing at the V her name for the VFW.
Kept checking to see if he needed anything, tonic,rag, etc. Maybe 1 1/2 hours into it he said he was going to join her for a drink. After the sealant was on, off he goes. Around 3:30 they both come back. She let's me know he told her... that I told him ...she was socializing.  Wasn't happy with my choice of words from her tone of voice..  She pops the prime rib into the oven after she set the temperature to 4:05 & tells me I can peel the potatoes n squash ( usually do). Will do the au jus when I get back & whip potatoes, going to meet up with ( male's name ) at ( bar's name.) Moi pops up & says, " can't it be Friendly's where they serve tonic?"   "If I wanted tonic" says she. in a hoity tone   Usually she never tells me where she is going, even if I ask.. It's no plan, don't know or no answer ,when I do.
Hurriedly I start pressing the thing you turn th oven up with  to turn the oven up to 450 ...she comes back in looking for where she left her cell phone down..  She turns the oven up for me as I have trouble seeing that  light on the back of the stove, phoned her cell, found the location from the ring tone n off she went.  Fifteen minutes later I turned the oven down to 325 as my handy dandy puter searched for the correct cooking instructions earlier. Folded a load of clothes ... plopped my arse down at the puter while things were fresh in my mind.. ( what I have left of it, that is. )
Will publish this tomorrow....
Hubby didn't show his ( plz excuse this term for those of you that are Irish ) Irish today. Not yet anyway.
Been hitting the commode alot...finally asked if I would make the boiled milk ( my mom's old cure for the runs ) for him. Did him one better, handed him 2 Immodium AD... Was surprised awhile back when he agreed to try them.. Still hasn't tried the over the counter stuff you take before you eat a mlk product. Buy him lactaid ice cream, milk, etc. Haven't found a cheese he can eat so I figured if he popped a pill he could enjoy a grilled cheese sandwich. WE both enjoyed a few slices of tomato on it , but now only add sliced tomatoes to mine. He is lactose intollerant & has diverticulitis also... NO seeds orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr BIG PAINS... which once had him in the hospital on some good pain med. in his IV .. A real hurting unit he was. I shit you not!
Has had 2 arachnoid cyst surgeries in his thoracic area 10 n 11 years back which effected his legs even more, his arms, his ability to control his bowels pretty much too. Goes yearly in July to the Spinal Cord Injury Clinic to be tested on how much more  ?  he has lost ( wording eludes my mind at the moment ) . BUT he is a FIGHTER.
Been battling since 1984 to keep his abiliy to dress, feed & bathe himself without assistance. Still capable of all that .....Can I hear an AMEN!!!!
My heart broke seeing one of his room mates with Lou Gehrig's yesterday. A shell of a man, struggling to speak, drink the thickened ? and still not looking or sounding bitter ....smiling as his male nurse talked to him, held his cup to his mouth, patted him on the back when he choked.  Smiling at hubby n I as we stopped at his bed to say good-bye.
Life is not kind to some people.     I shit you not!
"Bye Mike" he struggled to get out.." Bye Dick" hubby said....I mean Richard.. guess he doesn't like the nickname..didn't ask hubby. Hubby said he would always call for a nurse when Richard needed something as he couldn't locate his buzzer half the time... another kind soul will take hubby's bed, I think.  Don't  you?
Two hours later... squash is boiling, prime rib temp. is 130...150 is med. well.  Just about time to start the potatoes. If I was a betting woman I'd bet I was going to be the one whipping potatoes n making au jus.
Up n down, up n down...started the potatoes, turned the squash flame down. Spotted Charlie...he has been double n triple dipping.  Had to go around the house to set a new plate of food out. Been worried that with the bulk head off an animal would fall in.. There are no stairs to step down on..,. We (  jerry rig ") the term describing the milk cases we put down to step on ( comes to mind )... whatever... the animals are smarter than I give them credit for.
Prime rib 140, squash flame turned off, potatoes at the boiling point. If we want to eat tonight moi best get off her ass n get the masher n  mixer on the counter.
Maybe her intentions were good when she left at 4.... but some rum n cokes later.. Intentions ...  POOF!!!!!!
Maybe she will be contrite when she comes home, maybe she will be defiant ( of her actions ).. Not going to get me on the defensive like she has tried to. Been that route before with my dad n hers. Won't tell her how hurt I feel when she does these things... when Logan is home.  After he goes to school is another story.
Sometimes I think she sees the light, then I face reality again.  If it's hurt n pain she is trying to get rid of I have told her booze is just a band-aid.  Have had my share of  hurt ... I did not go that route.
What makes one person change completely , letting her asshole ex ( 10 + years now) get to her.
Keep saying to her, " don't give him that satisfaction." He has gotten to me also....her pain is my pain ( mom's are like that). I shit you not!
Up.... meat is med. well...... potatoes close to being ready to whip... squash needs to be mashed n seasoned.
Down .....to sign off at 6:38 P.M. ... That's All Folks!

Dear Diary Playing Gopher n Keeping the Peace

Bear with me.....have been jumping up from my seat time to time. Pretty much my usual day in that respect.
Hubby can't get his own coffee, juice...most things..The last two words sum it up.
Not involved in anything that I can't put aside for the moment.
Played a lil TX Holdem while he slept til 9. He slept thru Logan's showering for school,vetc., but if I use this keyboard it wakes him ..... none too happy may I add.  
Kid#4 Randy has been working on the old bulkhead. Yesterday he borrowed Kid#2  Larry's truck to purchase stone to put down in the cellar so you won't have to walk in mud.  That area was just a crawl space, but hubby dug it out some years back so one is able to get around down that area...... plumbing, heat duct work n all that good stuff is down there. Low water table ... we get water down there when it rains a bunch like it has this year in many states. Bought a sump pump ..water gone, but muddy as the ocean when the tide goes out..UGH!  PHEW!
When Larry heard Randy was putting limestone in his truck bed he warned him to not overload it.
Randy likes to needle him..said he's going to tell him he put 2 tons in the back...
Today I was gopher for him too. Pen, paper, you write it down as I tell you... Not going to look a  Gift Horse in the mouth. Has run for the supplies he needs to seal concrete, make a new door to enter the MUD ROOM , da, da, da, da, da.... Ran for my wallet..he was off.
Yesterday we put Logan & his friends to work shoveling stone into what seems like the bottomless pit in which Randy was spreading around. You know how much work 11 year olds can do without quitting.
Enough to be of some help, but that's it.
A nephew called minutes ago asking to borrow a 6 ft. ladder. Sent his husband to get it so I got up from here & pointed to where it is.
Moi made their wedding cake, hmmmm maybe 5 years ago this May... what ever year it was when MA okayed same sexes to marry. They had a nice ceremony in their yard a few streets over, rented a tent n heaters. Yep, that May was a cold one. I shit you not!
My mother raised this nephew since he was 16 months old. Say my mother because dear old dad was no different raising this kid than he was with his own four.
He called them mom n dad which irked my brother n sister. His own dad had nothing to do with him,,,was too busy with women thru the years ( marrying without getting a divorce from the last one) WHEN he was out of the PEN. Was always secretive to where he was so no one would learn his bad habits. Mom was dead 5 years before he called me. Oh well, nother story n he is deceased now. Was only 52  Was a year younger than me.  Left a kid here there n everywhere. Mom use to say ( jokingly )..." I'm afraid to kick any kid out of my own yard in case it's one of my own grandkids."
Hubby heard pounding n the likes when Randy was unloading the new bulkhead earlier. What's going on he asks me.. Keep in mind that hubby does not like not being able to do things like he did in past..ususally either tries to be the foreman n piss off whomever is doing the hard labor or does alot of yelling at moi... When he found out what's going on out the side of the house that we feed the critters thankfully he didn't get his b/p up, but he already has his own ideas on what to use for the door frame down there. It's something we have.. On Randy's list is 3- 2x3's... I was the one that wrote it down. I shit you not!   lmao
Hear doors closing on a vehicle.   That's All Folks!

Dear Diary Food For My Fish n Thoughts

More than once I have caught myself feeding my own fish when I enter my  blog.
It's my nature to feed every other hungry looking critter, so what the Hey.....
Phone just rang. Doctor calling to say hubby can go home. It's 3 p.m.
Will mention again that I do not drive in the rain/snow or at night. Will drive on the hwy even though I dread it.  If it's during daylight hours with the weather being dry, only if it's a MUST I will brave it.
Kid #7 went out around 10 ish. Just called her cell, heard the background noise n knew instantly where she was. BAR !!!   " Need to start drinking water , Ma .... ". I'll get him, don't worry." Yeah right, I say.
Everytime she takes off I worry. This is the KID that never partied or drank  til she was in her 40's.
Some of her siblings did party n drink. Most have smartened up or have managed to keep it well hidden from me. This one lives with me,so she can't. She calls this " socializing", her words..... she calls the people who hang in those places on a daily basis " her good friends. I shit you not! "  Myself, I call them loosers. Repeatedly I tell her, misery loves company. She has pushed away the siblings,sis in law, cousin, that have tried to make her see the light of day who she called her best friends.
Phone rang.. Kid # 9... She will come as soon as she finishes  doing her payroll. Kid#7 called her telling her Ma wouldn't be too happy with her driving. Then she came home. AMEN! Said she didn't have enough time to sober up. Only had 3 drinks ( to be honest, she is not like I have seen her in past .) Said she told her sis she could step up to the plate, go get dad n she is busy making supper for when we get back home.
Usually by the time she comes home , she is wasted. Not every day, but enough of them during the week, not just weekends either.
She watches Intervention on tv..  I shit you not!  Yet, she says she don't have a problem. Don't they all ???????
Got to run.... That's All Folks!

Dear Diary My most embarrassing moment.

Was dating hub #2 who was in the Army at that time. Can't remember if he took me to the base bingo game, he had to have to get onto the base, but remember the end of that day only too well. 
Back in those days you won prizes.  Me not a drinker, won a half gallon of vodka. Lucky me, NOT!
On the way home hub #2 stopped, got orange juice, paper cups....I got shit faced.....I shit you not!
Somewhere on the drive home I needed to throw up. Must have made it known, the car came to a stop, opened the door, turned, leaned forward n heaved. Next thing that I was aware of was him carrying me over his shoulder with me farting with every jounce all the way to the front door. Step,fart, step,fart, I shit you not!
The front door opened, my mother was standing there, look in her eyes was anything but happy to see us.
It was THE LOOK!
Managed to fall into bed fully clothed. As soon as his lips touched mine to say goodbye I came to a horrible realization. My top plate of false teeth was missing.  I shit you not!
My mind quickly unscrambled , asked him where it was he stopped the car... we said our see you tomorrows, instantly I sobered up.
Walked less than a half mile maybe. Found the spot. There lay my teeth in many,many pieces.
 Run over, I shit you not!    Bummed out big time I made it back home, into bed.  First daylight hour a buisness opens I was on the phone. Got an appointment that same day. Oh, thank you Lord.
Now the fun begins waiting for the new teeth to be made.. Hub #2 calls, wants to come over that night. Geez, after last night he really wants to see me again. WOW!!!!! Moi tells him that she has a bad cold. Took much convincing to stall him that day. Next day he wouldn't be stalled ...ut,oh!  Kept my hand over my mouth , I'm so nice, I don't want to give him my germs.. hahahahaha  My younger sis is there. At the supper table she opens her BIG mouth, says " arn't you going to tell him? " I give  her THE LOOK n kick her under the table. She don't back down.
He is looking at me with a questioning look. She persists saying " if he is going to marry you , he has a right to know", I give her THE LOOK n harder kick. Now his facial expression looks like ,what the hell is up, does she have a veneral disease." People shouldn't keep secrets from each other if they are going to get married" , she says.
Can't remember if I already had an engagement ring on for the life of me, but other things are all too clear. LOL....   NOW!   Then.....NOT! 
Well 2 weeks or 10 days waiting for my new teeth wasn't going to work out .Somewhere during that time , after much questioning, I fessed up . Red flushes my face as I type this. He kept coming to see me. The ready made family of 5 kids didn't scare him off , nor did the toothless mom of those kids. I shit you not! 
He did have some redeeming qualities about him. Wish i could say they lived happily ever after. He was a mama,daddy's boy with a big drinking problem. Went home to the ex inlaws from Hell in Jackiesue's town of West.  Their headstones are lined up together in St.Mary's Cemetery . He took care of them as he was told all his life that he had to... a good son takes care of his parent's in their old age. They lived to ripe old ages, he lived on this earth for 59 years. Sad....Two years after his last parent died, he was gone.
We had 2 kids born on the same date a year apart he walked away from in body when they were 5 n 6.
 Did love his kids..kept in touch with them until  he died.. Came to this house when kids were grown n had kids of their own . Hubby n I loaded him up with garden tomatoes, no alcohol.
My dad was an alcoholic.. I hate alcoholism !!!! Destroys so many lives.
Never have I gotten shit faced again... had the FLU a few times.. this hubby says I can't keep up with the big boys..He may be right. THIS TIME! . The flu days are oevr too., don't like being sick. UGH! Yeck!
That's All Folks!

Dear Diary Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone. 
No bunny visit here this year. Grand#17, Logan is 11. One Russell Stover chocolate bunny found it's way in here. Must know that Logan is not much of a candy eater, Halloween candy just got filed under T for trash last month. Santa's/bunnies n the like sit 6 months all dressed in the colorful foil, sayiny to me eat me, eat me.
When the temptation gets too great,I undress them... the chocolate looks as bad as I do underneath my clothing. I shit you not! Mahes one think of an Over The Hill stripper. Put your clothes back on is the chant.
If the critters could eat chocolate they would be in Hog Heaven. Come to think of it ,they would be in heaven no matter, not figuratively speaking either. Here Lies ------------.  One year when  the older ones knew n some of the younger ones became doubtful, dad had them leave a tray of flour,carrots,  just inside the front door. After they were tucked in bed he tore off a magazine cover n cut out bunny footprints. Carefully laid that cut out paper down & sifted flour tracks to every basket, back n forth . My goodness, even out the door, down the steps n walk. Remnants of carrots trailed along.   Mrs.Bunny had a mess to vacuum up if my memory serves me right... It does!
There were 7 baskets at that time. Ex #2 did have some redeeming qualities. I shit myself,not!
When the house was empty for a few years long, long ago ..hubby#3 n myself would drive to where the youngest grands lived before daylight , park in the driveway ..when the lights came on it was Show Time... Lights,camera,action!!  December 25,2008 Santa made his last personal appearance here.... sniff,sniff...
Got to get my arse in gear... drive into the Boston area... V.A.Hospital is in West Roxbury... can't get there from here without driving on the highway. If you happened to see an older, attractive, slim, beautifully coiffed, looking relaxed woman driving Easter Sunday on I 95... It wasn't moi !    I shit you not !
I'll be the one who looks maybe a few years younger than she is , hairdo compliments of a hair dryer , over weight ( working on that ) with her hands gripped onto the steering wheel like her life depended on it,
That Be Me!  I shit you not!
Hippity hop, hippity hop, That's All Folks!
