For good health, watch this every day.

UPDATE

Just found this in the news... apparently the idiot driving on the wrong side of the road put 2 people in the hospital (including himself) in a head on collision. Here's the link:

Now that I know he's at Parkland I'm going to send him bouquet of poisonous bananas loaded with tsetse flies.

Around 2 AM this morning Eric and I were driving home from Doug and Terry's house on the Dallas North Tollway. We were tootle lootle looing along in the middle lane when suddenly a Ford Explorer went flying past us going in the wrong direction approximately 70-80 miles an hour. When you see something out of the ordinary like that you tend not to comprehend it, however, Eric was lucky to have his drunk wife sitting in the passenger side that screamed, "LOOK OUT!", so he quickly swerved to the side of the road and called 911. As he was on the phone with 911 they informed us that a cop was already in pursuit whom we witnessed speeding down the correct side of the road. Needless to say, we were Monster Java Mean Bean awake the rest of the way home. We were so, so lucky. I wanted to turn the car around and release 31 years of pent up anger on his idiot ass. Instead, we just went home and hit the sack. There wasn't anything on the news this morning of any crashes. In the last few months there have been several deaths by people driving on the wrong side of the tollway. I can't imagine how this happens since you have to enter the tollway through toll booths. A chipmunk could do it.

So, on a happier note, I leave you this photo from last night without any explanation.


PS. Don't my teeth look nice? heh heh

I just realized that I'm on my 6th cup of coffee in an hour! I'm watching The Princess Bride, blogging, doing push-ups, rebuilding the engine in the minivan and milking a cow all at the same time.

This weekend is Eric's 30th high school reunion. Last night everyone met at The Flying Saucer which is the same place my group met for my 10th reunion. The Flying Saucer is my home away from home so hanging out with a crowd of people I didn't know was not a problem. In fact, I made a lot of friends!! I indulged in my favorite Belgian raspberry beer, Framboise, which is a total chick drink and makes you look completely sophisticated. So if you wipe out on the floor at the bar and you're drinking Framboise, everyone is like, "Oh, it's alright. She's not a lush. She drinks Framboise!"

Anyway, here's how we dolled up for the night:

You can't imagine how much I enjoyed myself when someone asked how we met.

"Well, we met earlier this afternoon when he cut me a check for $600..."

I love this shot of long time friends uniting. Here's Enrique, Doug (aka Bubbas) and Eric (aka EGG).

I tried to squeeze everyone in for the group shot. Eric the beanstalk in the back.

Now for some lovely sunset shots after some terrible storms we had here last week.



Our humble little rental house.
It's 2:30 and I'm still in my dedgum pajamas. Guess I'll get my arse in the shower and doll up for tonight's events...

Yesterday my chihuahua bit me because I tried to put leg warmers on him. I guess I'd finally gone too far. It wasn't a bone splintering, blood spraying, tendon shredding bite though- just a warning bite. Later on he wanted to have a bite of cheese that I was eating and I told him no because he wouldn't wear the leg warmers. We're still at odds with each other this morning...

I participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this past Saturday and it was fantastic. It was difficult to take photos at my hastened speed of 3 miles per hour.

Olympic gymnast Nastia Luiken shot the gun that started the race.

Here's the reason you could only walk 3 miles per hour.

It was humbling to see how dedicated some of the participants were. I saw people in wheel chairs and crutches walking in honor of someone they loved. This couple was in front of me and held hands the entire time.

She was so young to have already lost her mother.

Inspiration was everywhere.

All of the VIP's were there!

Here's our group photo.

I look forward to doing this again in October!
