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!

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

Made it into 2025 injury-free—well, mostly! 😆 Besides the usual aches and pains (and that one time I threw my back out, but we’re not counting that—that’s just seasoned wisdom kicking in). On the bright side, my diabetes is well under control! My latest doctor’s appointment went great—numbers are low, bloodwork looks good, and I just need to keep moving forward. Meanwhile, the hubby is down with the flu, so he’s quarantined in the bedroom while I’ve taken over the couch. Work has been hectic. We’ve been short a recruiter, which means more work on my plate. We finally hired someone new, but she’s still in training. She seems nice—quieter than the rest of us, but then again, our little group is a bit on the weird side. On the fun side, I got a new tattoo—matching with my bestie! 💉✨ And now, I’m seriously considering a septum piercing. Call it a midlife crisis if you want, but I say, why not do it while I still can? I haven’t spent much time at the barn this year. Then again, t...

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...
