vegas wedding!

No.  Not mine.  Seriously?  I am on my third marraige and we will be together until one of us kills the other one of us dies.  It was my son and his wife renewing their wedding vows on their 10th anniversary.  It rained.  No, it poured.  Now add in some hail and put the bride in a knee brace....

-let me interupt myself here.  Hunter went out for subs over an hour ago (while I was doing laundry) and he still isn't back.  No biggie, right?  But.  We have to leave in 5 minutes to attend another showing of our grandson's play.  The Wiz.  He steals the show as the Tinman.  And I am not doing the Grandma thing.  You should have heard the audience!!! 

well..it' another day and can I just ask....how does one do anything in fake nails?  Yeah, call me Amish but I just got acrylic nails for the first time and they feel weird!!  And trying to type?  Is it even possible?  And all because Hunter has been wanting a mani-pedi.  Metro-sexual?  Hunter? 

Just bits and blurbs here.
Cami got her period.  She's 8.  WTF!
D.I.L. was unterviewed for the news as the news crew happened to be at the clinic where Jenn ha to take the kids cuz they have no insurance.  Ah, that's anoter long story.
Leaving soon to go to dinner with the kids.
Went to Premium Outlets and.......are you sitting down?  I walked into the Coach store and having free range financially, I walked out with a bag full of nothing.  Yes, really.  Dooney, nothing and then we came to an Ugg store.  The clouds parted and angels began to sing!  I got 2 pairs of Ugg boots.  Yeah,, I know that people think they are ugly but I am comfortable enough in my own skin not to care.  Fact: If you ever tried them on and wore them for a day.......you would live in nothing else.  I go all winter without wearing socks!

Tired and shakey.  Weird.  Wishing it would get warm enough to go in the pool.  Hopefully tomorrow.  Course I should do a load of laundry and that takes sooooo long. 

Will try to read posts tonight.
Jenn just texted.   My son John is in the ER. His face is all swollen.  He has cellulitis.

I watched a squirrel play with his nuts.

As I sat outside I noticed a squirrel in the flower bed I had just cleared for winter.  I watched the whole time as he dug a hole, threw his nut in, scraped dirt into the hole and pat it down.  More dirt.  Pat it down.  Dry leaves, Pat.  You know the drill.  When he was done.......he went to the part of the garden that had been cleared and he immediately digs up another one and eats it.  What's the deal?  Do they have to ferment or something?
And the Hummingbirds.  They still go to the feeders but now they are also going for the red geraniums, red hibiscus and anything red.  Weirdos.

I am packed for the trip and as soon as this Xanax kicks in.....I will be doing good.  BTW, Xanax does not send me to La-La land.  DAMN!  It just takes the edge off.  Slows my heart rate or so it feels.  It gathers all those extra thoughts in my brain, puts them in a burlap sack and tucks them away for awhile.

Again Hunter was wondering why he gets so tired now.  He feels like he could take a nap every day.  I took this opportunity-for the 2nd time-to tell him, "You know how you feel?  That's how I feel ALL the time and have for as long as I can remember.."  I think he finally understood.  He said he couldn't deal with feeling like that for such a long time.

I hope everything fits in my vehicle.  Hunter has always said I bring too much and I have pared down quite a bit.  He, on the other hand, has increased the amount of stuff he brings.  Like a suitcase for his clothes and a couple large totes with......well, I don't know what.
I am still not sure what kind of place we are staying in although I know it's new because Hunter was up there a year or two ago helping them wire the place.  I don't know it there's a fridge or microwave.  I do know we have a half-bath but everyone uses the same shower.  Not good news for this nudie girl.   I guess I could "shower"at the sink.  Or if the other people are attractive........maybe a join communal shower party.  Yee-Haw!

We are going to grab a bite, go to the village meeting about the re-zoning then pack up the car so that all we have to do in the morning is dress and grab the remnants of our stuff and a big thermos of coffee for me.  Then off we go.  At 6 AM!  Is that even a real hour?  He will be in a hurry to get there but he says we can meander and take our time on the way home.  Do you suppose it is because we will be stopping at his lover friend Brian's farm?  I have an appt, Tuesday.  We are coming home Monday.  Yes, we will be taking Maggie. 
I will bring my camera and hope to get some good pictures.  'Course I don't know how to get them from the camera to the computer but I am sure if I read the instructions I can figure it out.

Will miss you all.  Peace and have a good weekend.  I will try to do the same and if all else fails....I know there will be plenty of alcohol.

Sadly, I can't say it out loud.

Today it was 63 degrees.  Tonight it will be in the brrr 40's.  Good thing I like the cold, right?  Was awake for a couple hours and then thought I would take a nap cuz I was brrr tired.  Then decided to tackle the office.  Ended up outside getting rid of dead perennials and that got me going.  Doesn't always work that way but today it did.  So I feel pain in my back good.  Didn't get around to moving my very tall ornamental grass.  It kind of shades too much of my circular flowerbed out front.  It grows to be the size of a big bush.  I love it and will plant it in the middle of my yard.  Sometimes after a hard downpour, it kind of "splits" down the middle.  I saw someone nearby that had about a 2' band of green whatever around it.  I want to do that, even though I like the fullness.  So I need to stop and inquire of this person just what it is that they have around it and if they leave it all year round or just put it up around the emerging growth each year.

Tomorrow is the last of Maggie's puppy check-ups, including shots.  We paid for the whole package up front so we would get a discount.  I am going to get up early so I can go with, not that it's that early but if I have to set and alarm, I don't sleep well. 

I think we are taking my Rendezvous to the wedding.  Much better gas mileage.  It will fit Maggie and all out stuff.  And there is a big adjustment to the wardrobe I intended to bring.  First of all....the wedding is "casual."  I know if it was Wisc. it would be Bibs, a flannel shirt and a purse full of beer....and that's just for the girls!  But St. Cloud Minn.?  Do I wear my Sorels?  Casual huh....perhaps flannel pj's?  Well, forget the dress I was going to wear.  It's pants and a blazer for me.  And maybe a St. Bernard with a cask of Brandy around it's neck.  WHAT?  If the cask matches my Sorels.....I'll be stylin'.   We'll be staying at their lake home.  Lake.  Should I bring my skates?  Will not be parlaying that into a trip out east so I can relax about that.  We will be stopping at Brian's farm to pick-up Hunter's meds that he left there.  I haven't been there in ages so I look forward to seeing what it's like now.  That way I can decide if I want to go up there with him when he goes again at the end of the month.  I doubt it.  You know.....if I could just pull myself away from the TV when he is gone, I would get alot done.  I am already bargaining with myself.  If I "work this day and that day then I can watch TV on these days.  Ha.  Who am I fooling?

We plan to go to a village meeting on the 20th that has to do with rezoning some houses in our village.  The main issue seems to be grandfathering older homes-like mine which is over 100 yrs. old. 
Here's the deal.  I don't know if this posted or not.  I keep losing my "labels"  Will try posting again.
