Dear Abby:

I had to laugh at the posting of "Dear Abby" in today's newspaper, and just had to share!


Dear Abby,
How can my daughter broach the subject of her matron of honor's "beard"? We're not talking about a few hairs here, but a growth that would make some young men envious.


The wedding is coming up soon, and the bride and groom are concerned how it will look in the wedding pictures, but they don't want to hurt her feelings.

I, for one, have been taking quick swipes with my razor for years, and my whiskers haven't grown back thicker or darker, and I only have to do it once or twice a week.

Ladies, if unwanted facial hair embarrasses you, forget the myth that shaving will make it worse. -- Bride's Mom, St. Louis, Mo.


Dear Mom,
Before the wedding, schedule a "spa" day for the women in the bridal party -- manicures, pedicures, waxing.

When you get there, invite the "bearded lady" to join you in getting any excess facial hair removed. If she sees she isn't alone, she may go for it. And if she's resistant, your wedding photographer can always "Photoshop" the fur away.

Monday's Ramblings

~ Happy 100th post to me...Happy 100th post to me...Happy 100th post to meeeeee, Happy 100th post to me!! :) Dang! Seems like just yesterday I hopped on this bandwagon of bloggers!

~ I do believe I have never in my life been this hungry. I think I could seriously eat Kaci's dog food, and it might taste delicious. Crazy. I shared a bowl of Apple Jacks with my sweet husband this morning while in the shower...yes, I have learned how to multi task if I want to catch a few extra minutes sleeping. Eat breakfeast in the shower!!

~ My eyebrows look like two catepillar's are stuck to my forehead. I have never gone this long without getting them plucked and waxed.

~ I have had such a horrible headache all day long. It has seriously killed. I know it's because of the womanly thing. Ugh, what women go through.

~ I got so aggravated at my hubs lastnight. The vacation delima (as if it was a delima because it was already decided we just wouldn't be able to take a vacation together) got brought up once again. I have been dying to take a trip somewhere....anywhere...just a weekend, I don't care. I mention that I thought if I would have realized it was such and such weekend that so and so was going, I could have maybe gotton off. He continues to reply with, "Dang, that would have been nice to take a trip to Florida!" Now he says that after the schedule has been made. Gotta love men! lol. **I know it makes no sense in writing...but you know.**

~ I have decided I am not cooking tonight. I'm too tired. Isn't that horrible of me?

~ 30 more minutes. Just 30 more minutes. :)

~ My second favorite holiday is coming up, and I am so excited. I love the 4th of July!

~ I took Kaci to get her nails clipped Saturday, and the lady there said that she looked so much like a Spitz (Minitature American Eskimo), that they would just quote her under that if we were to get her groomed. I don't know whether to be upset or what. Oh well.

~ Well...off to balance! Adios!

~ I

Only in my Dreams...

Sitting on 106 acres of beautiful farm land in Lebanon...this is my dream home. Need I even say why??

It's so Hot, Hot, Hot!

I love Summer. I love the blue skies, the warm Summer nights, the flip flop, sundress wearin' attire I fully endulge in every day. But I do not, I repeat do not like this 100+ degree weather. Every time I walk outside whether it's five minutes or forty five minutes, I come back inside sticky, sweaty, and yucky. I know I could be all bundled up in sweaters and long johns (not that I wear those on a day to day basis during the Winter monthes, but still). I want those 70-72 degree temperatures on the screen when I pull up the weather channel. I want to have to carry my beloved jean jacket if I go somewhere at night. I want to have that option. But no way...not for Summer '09. This little bugger is determined to make me sweat. Maybe it's for all the whining and complaining I did when having to wear hoodies every day. I guess I will just have to rough and tough it out. :)

Oh Kaci...

When I got home after taking a quick run after work...My hubby and I decided to get cleaned up before starting dinner. While in the shower, we heard a huge crash (sounded like something had fallen from the sky it was so loud). I peaked out of the shower not knowing what I would find, and there was Kaci standing there with the metal vent dangling from her collar and a wagging tail. Apparently, she was used to the Ole' vent since she had it happen before. I wish I could have gotten a picture. It was such a sight to see.

Not Me Monday

(((Picture to come later)))

~ It wasn't me who avoided all incoming calls (or at least tried to) Friday night. I was seriously so worn out, I did not feel like talking to anyone. And seriously, as time goes on, I hate talking on the phone. If I feel like I cannot give you the attention you deserve, then I won't answer. Sorry.

~ It wasn't me who went grocery shopping Friday evening in hopes of making the yummy recipe off of Amber's blog...only to come home and fix myself a turkey and cheese sandwich and some chips.

~ It wasn't me who got brave Saturday morning in letting Kaci out, only to chase her down the street in my husband's boxers, tshirt (without an undergarment)...and hair a frazzled mess. Yeah, I bet the neighbor's saw a funny sight. LESSON LEARNED: I'm always taking Kaci on a leash...always.

~ It wasn't me who layed down and took a nap Saturday afternoon for approximately 3.5 hrs. I told you I was exhausted. And who would have known, Kaci slept that long too.

~ It wasn't me who woke up with the "eyes are bigger than your stomach" syndrome Sunday morning...because when the Hubby took me to eat at Cracker Barrel, I ordered something off the menu that wasn't in the norm for me...and I finished not even half of it. Shame on me. Kid's are starving in the world, and I waste. :(

~ It wasn't me who got all bummed out when friends cancelled Sunday evening, only to make the husband take me swimming at the in-laws. We had fun though. It was Father's Day after all, so I was happy we got to see Papa Ronnie and the fam. And not to mention...Kaci had fun too! :)

Thursday's Thoughts...

~ Today is my last day in training. It's really been beneficial, I think..considering I am new to the bank. I feel comfortable about being in a window come tomorrow. Great thing to say, is that we completed out training 2 days early. Go us.

~ Last night, Kaci was seriously driving me nuts. She'd bark and bark even when I would play with her for the longest time, take her outside, love on her...nothing would work. Finally, I came to the conclusion, she wanted to get in bed, because come 8:30 when I finally got in bed (yes, 8:30...I was worn out!), she calmed down. Amazing.

~ I am seriously gonna sleep in Saturday. No cellphones turned on, nothing. I deserve this rest having to get up at 5:45 every morning to drive an hour everyday. Ugh.

~ I have become addicted to Farm Town on Facebook. Lame, I know. I was telling the Hubs, you know you have a problem when you're driving down the road, and see a field full of crops, and wonder how much coins I could get if I harvested/sold them! Bahhhhaaa! :)

~ Today we have a Master Test for this training. Usually I am a nervous wreck about tests, because I tend to freak out, and over-analyze each question...but I studied hard last night, and I feel pretty confident in this. We'll see though.

~ This is Mike's first "Pre-Father's Day". Laugh it off, but Kaci really does know who her daddy is. I'll say, "Where's daddy?" and her precious little ears raise up, and she goes running around looking for him. It's sooo cute! So, I'm gonna make him a card from Kaci. My sister, Angel helped me decide what would be cute to put...I think he will like it.

~ One of my close friends, Denise...she looks like Lady Gaga since she got her new hairstyle. It's hilarious.

~ The chair that I had been looking for for the longest time, I found this past weekend. In my past postings, I spoke of how I loved the one's at Pier One. Those being pretty pricey, I went on to look at other shops. My favorite Goodwill surprised me! I found a chair I LOVE FOR $19.99!!!! I had a giftcard I used from my birthday, so in the end after taxes, I paid about 7 bucks total! WOW! If I can, I will post a picture at a later date! It's dark wood, with a springy light green upholstery! :) WOOOHOO!

~ I must go now....time to review! :)
