Sneaky!

It's really irritating when you count on someone to be somewhere and then at the last minute they decide to act stupid and not show up. i understand that things happen, you forget, you over book yourself, you wanna go a date with a boy or someone else is having a bigger party, but to bail out of it by not being truthful is what makes me angry. all i've ever asked of anyone is to just be honest with me, just communicate with me! thats all ive ever asked! i know it can be hard to have to be truthful, its embarrassing and i understand not wanting to hurt someone's feelings, but its better to tell the truth rather than beating around the bush or just straight up lying about it. i can relate because back in the day (i was pretty darn selfish and didnt care), i would committee myself to everyone's plans and then at the last minute finally make up my mind and go in another direction. i dont do that anymore (too much) because people need to know whats going on and its better just to say YES or NO....dont try to keep ur options open dont try to see if something else better comes along. if you can, you can...if you cant then you cant. its no big deal! theres always a next time.



back to better things! charli's 'SURPRISE' birthday dinner celebration went great! everyone who needed to be there, was there! we had a blast! dinner was good and the show was hilarious! im really glad everything turned out very well. 30 years down the road we will reveal the truth, but for now it didn't hurt anyone and we will later look back at this and laugh (at least i hope!) dont worry i didnt hurt anyone, but it was kind of funny. (and charli if youre reading this, then you know what im talking about) i highly recommend Texas Star Dinner Theater. who done it? in Grapevine, TX. now, for the guys, im sure its not high on ur list of things to do, but ur girl will appreciate it (if she likes this kind of thing) and it will give you good points for the night! i was proud of everyone for making the after party especially fun, since none of us ever seem to stay out late anymore these days (guess it comes with age?!) it was a successful (slightly tipsy) turn out with good laughs! 

We moved the party to Lazy Bones after dinner
I told charli she was going to HAVE To take picutes!
ha! Whats wrong with this picutre?

For the last few Fridays in a row, Alicia and I have been going to Sneaky Pete's for Happy Hour. Its so great getting to see Alicia and this is the first time a long time that we have been available (time wise) at the same time, so we've been making the most of it. Sneaky Pete's is right on the water and we both love being on the lake and for some reason being near water is just relaxing. Last Friday when we went to Sneaky's, it was packed! i mean ridiculously packed for a Friday. Did anyone go to work that day? It didn't seem like it because everyone that we were talking to had been there since 11am. Some talk radio station was there. Im guessing it was a guy thing because the ratio of men to women was hilarious. it was a sausage feast. Im not complaining or anything but i was just stating the obvious. hello eye candy!

I’m really struggling with watching my parents grow older. My mom’s memory has declined a lot, and walking has become difficult for her. She’s not active anymore—she mostly stays at home, only doing small chores around the house. She has very little motivation to do anything beyond that. My dad takes care of so much for her, and I try to keep her going by spending time with her, but our conversations feel so different now. As for my dad, his health is okay—not great, but manageable. I’ve mentioned before how hard it is to watch him face the physical limitations that come with age. He’s always been the kind of dad who could do it all—fix anything, carry anything, help with anything. He’s been my rock, always there to support me. I don’t think he ever imagined he’d still be helping his 40-year-old daughter with Jeep mods—but knowing him, I’m sure he secretly loves it. My dad and I are both facing new health challenges right now. I’m scared—but thankfully, mine isn’t life-threatening, as...

2026

 Where do I even begin? I got sick a few days before New Year’s Eve and ended up ringing in 2026 sick. Is anyone surprised? Because I’m not. I was down for a full week with a terrible case of strep throat—and I don’t even have tonsils. My doctor basically said I’m just prone to strep… because of course I am. Just my luck. Let’s back up to a few days after Christmas. My husband goes on his annual hunting trip every year, which is usually why I end up ringing in the New Year alone. But this time, I decided to go with him. We packed up the Frenchies, Bruno stayed with my sister, and we headed west for a long weekend of hunting. He always brings a couple of deer home, and that meat lasts us through the year. I know hunting isn’t for everyone. We don’t kill for sport—we hunt for food, and we use every part of it. This was actually my first time going to truly hunt. I’ve been out to the land before to shoot guns, fill feeders, and hang around camp… but I’d never gone hunting until now. I...

My sister and I took an early 7 a.m. flight to New York for her birthday. The night before, I had put on a new Dexcom, but just as I was leaving for the airport, I got a notification telling me to remove it immediately because it was defective. Cue me frantically trying to replace it without crying—definitely not the smooth start I’d pictured. At the airport, I somehow ended up at the wrong gate while my sister was at the correct one. I went through security alone and made it to what I thought was our gate, waiting by myself for about 20 minutes… until my sister called, annoyed, asking where I was. She thought I was running late and was now rushing through security, while I was already calmly sitting at the actual gate, ready to board. We finally met up, I apologized for the mix-up, she forgave me, and we grabbed some coffee. Caffeine in hand, we headed back to board—only to discover we were surrounded by a group of about 20 teenagers on a school trip to New York. My sister and I aren’...
