Let the Good Times Roll


Tonight is our semi-annual Bunco Bash for Junior Auxiliary. We invite women in our area to come join us for a night of Bunco playing, and serve good food, and have great prizes to win. It's always a lot of fun.
I got off easy this time...I wasn't on the committee. All I had to do is furnish 3 bags of Fritos, and be there to help out. Oh..and take pictures, since I *am* the Public Relations person..but that part is cake. I'd do that anyway!
It's a mexican fiesta theme this year. Should be fun.

Molly is having to go with me. She was hoping to get to hang out with 2 of her friends whose mothers will also be there, since we aren't using the Crown Club girls to help serve this time. But no....either they've planned something w/o her, (as they seem to be doing more of lately) or they actually are each staying home with their dads. I fear they are leaving her out of something...that's been the case a few times lately, but she doesn't know that. It hurts ME tho, knowing it. We said we wouldn't bring the girls to the festivities, but Molly doesn't want to hang out at Greg's while I go, and I don't blame her, so I'm just gonna take her and too bad if they don't like it. Nah...seriously, I don't think they'll care. We're all pretty laid back and they'll understand that there's noone for her to stay with. I just wish there were.
It's tough being left out. I have a lot of experience with that.

In triumphant news tonight...I defeated my archenemies--the dustbunnies-- after a hard fought battle today. It had been too long, and I think they'd gotten fat and lazy. Lord knows they were big enough!! I'm sure they will rally and come back to haunt me soon enough tho....they always do!


I missed my 20th college reunion today.

**my roomie and me, 21 years ago**

I have been feeling very sad about that. It's only 40 miles away, but I just didn't have the $15 to pay for lunch tix for me and Molly, and truth be told...I have been feeling very frumpy lately. I know my real friends from college wouldn't have cared how I look, but I know they all look great, I see them on Facebook...and it would be so busy with everyone there that I wouldn't have gotten to spend realy quality time with anyone before having to leave to come back for tonight's Bunco Bash....at least that's what I'm telling myself.
Several of my old friends really don't live too far away...we've just got to get our butts in gear and organize a lunch date for ourselves. Yeh...that sounds more like it. After pay day that is! Thank goodness the 15th is just around the corner.


Next weekend is my sisters' high school reunion. They both graduated in '89 and my Phoenix sis is flying in for their shindig and has asked me to be her date for the game. The funny thing to me is, that the football game our alma mater is playing Friday night is against the school I work at now!! I've already got friends here "threatening" to out me at half time if I sit on the "wrong side". lol
It'll be fun. My local sister will be there with her hub and new baby. I think we'll have a blast.

And that, folks, is all I know for now. Time to take the hot rollers out of my hair, and put on my fiesta shirt and get ready to roll some dice!!
Don't be surprised if you see me doin the Mexican Hat Dance later!!

Hope you had fun at Bunco. I know what you mean about Dust Bunnies. I let my dust collect until I just can't take it anymore. It is my worst job to do. Hate it. Have a great tomorrow.

I love bunco! And hardly ever play.
No, we didn't make it to homecoming either, which is funny because when we lived in Idaho I used to moan and groan about how I wish we lived close enough to go, and we've lived in Ar. for over 3 years now and I still haven't been. Crazy.
Maybe next year?...

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Image
Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
