I WONDER IF IT WAS A COMPLIMENT

WELL,  I DON'T REALLY THINK IT WAS...BUT I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IT WAS !!  WHEN WE WENT TO VISIT  MY NEW MALE FRIEND......(YOU REMEMBER THE ONE...THE GUY WITH THE GREAT FAMILY IN COVINGTON TN) YESTERDAY ,  WE WERE HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT MY "RANTING" BLOG.  HE HAD THE GALL TO ASK ME IF I WAS PMS ING....REALLY  !!!!.......WTF...FIRST OF ALL.......I AM TO OLD TO BE PMS ING..i so wished i hadn't said that...he then proceeded to tell us that he tries to date women closer to his own age.....but.....they are menopausal.... REALLY....MAYBE HE SHOULD LOOK FOR A WOMEN THAT IS  POST MENOPAUSAL.......THEY WOULD BE HIS AGE...wow....what a rant

i don't have time for a job...

SHOPPING

we did little shopping while on the road...i hate to shop...terry loves that i hate to shop......

mabelene gray, formally known as betty holtsoy-gray, was born aug 9th , 1980 in gallup, new mexico.  she learned how to make and etch pottery while she was growing up in pinedale by her uncle.  her speciality is in the traditional navajo etched pottery. she uses very detailed etchings on the pottery, while adding traditional  as well as pastel colors.  she also uses horse hair.   her work is found at gallery 8 in old town albuquerque, new mexico.

there is a story i must tell you....when we were first together, i hated to fall asleep alone..i will tell you what my man did....when he had to work  the night shift...11.30 to 7;30.....he came  to bed with me at 10:30..cuddled...knoolded and spooned...and got up and went to work.....now that i look at it....really...how tough was it

WHAT A DAY

I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE MY FIRST UNCENSORED BLOG...I WANT TO CUSS, SWEAR AND SAY ALL THE BAD WORDS I KNOW, BUT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE I RESPECT TO MUCH TO USE THE WORDS I AM THINKING.   LIKE MISS MIMI, MY COUSINS IN TORONTO THAT I WANT TO IMPRESS WHEN I MEET THEM THIS SUMMER,  MY FRIENDS FROM BOYLE, AND A FEW OTHERS.  I ALSO DON'T WANT TO MAKE MY SONS UNCOMFORTABLE..... but what the frick !!!   we have had some heated conversations.....a sharp tongue or 2....giggled for 2 days straight..ate 2 much frigging food..what did we argue over....you name it.....me to terry....what day is it...he says monday...i say sunday...i am right..he refuses to believe me....me......you should get gas here..him....nope...we  just paid 18 cents a gallon more at the next stop...duh.    now when we missed cadillac ranch, we drove 10 miles back to see it...it was amazing..we do have pics on the computer somewhere...but when i see a place that is cooking live crabs for lunch i suggest we should stop and eat there......do we stop.....nooooo.....he says...there will be more up ahead.....missed opportunity......F#@k...  i say set the cruise here......did he listen....nope...i say ...lets eat here....he says naaa...lets eat here......omg......i am going to lose my mind....i say ..is it hot.....he says it is cold.....i am cold....now he is hot....still pisses me off that he can fall asleep when i am pissed off.....would not go to bed early so mrs bates and i could visit.....the stupid gps bitch kept giving us wrong directions but that was o.k..cause he liked her voice........map quest save our asses once.  he gives me a stroke dealing with all the law enforcers we have met along the way....and they were wonderful...even if i did have to name drop...oh yeah....he ate 3 pieces of butterscotch pecan pie and only gained 10 lbs.......bastard...how can he run out of underwear.....i packed us the same amount.......really....wtf....3 weeks into our holiday he finally breaks down and buys a cooler on wheels.....he then kept beer, water, juice ,pop iced cold for us....but he didn't do it when i first suggested this !!..it took 2 weeks to convince him to buy a cheap coffee maker so we could make our own in the room.......ahhhh....he so took over the remote control...i want to make a remote in the shape of a penis...most men will not want to pick this up... just don't even get me started....

TAKE ME HOME COWBOY

o.k..... just a little update...we did 22 states , and 2 provinces, over 11000 miles, 4 time changes, all while living together 24/7 and half of that was in the truck.   wow...i forgot what it was like to have a good fight or two or three...not sure who whipped whom into shape !!!   terry has been very busy..as usual.....i am just coming back to life.   i am planning my trip to ontario tomorrow,  and i am doing the oregan coast in the fall with the bates girls..i still have some yapping to do so keep reading.. hope all is well in your homes....an after thought...we may be heading to costa ricca next winter....this is so much better than therapy....

OMG

OLD FRIENDS...ARE HARD TO FIND...

WHENEVER I HEAR THIS SONG IT REMINDS  ME OF MY TWO OLDEST FRIENDS

WE HAVEN'T BEEN EVERYWHERE

SO,  HERE IT IS.  WE CROSSED 16 STATES,  CHANGED OUR CLOCK 4 TIMES AND DROVE OVER 11000 MILES.  WE MADE SOME NEW FRIENDS AND GOT TO VISIT ONE OLD FRIEND.  WE SAW THE GRAND CANYON, MT RUSHMORE, YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK,

VEGAS, MEMPHIS, SMOKY MOUNTAINS, ROUTE 66 IN   NEW MEXICO,  DID THE HORRIFIC DRIVE FROM PETALUMA  TO EUREKA,  SAW THE ROCKIE MOUNTAINS, SAW THE PACIFIC OCEAN.........WE HAD RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, HAIL, AVOIDED THE TORNADOES, DODGED THE TSUNAMI WARNINGS...  SURVIVED 32 DAYS IN A TRUCK TOGETHER.  I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT THE COST YET... WOULD LOVE  TO SAY I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE....AFTER ALL...WE HAVEN'T BEEN TO SASKATCHEWAN!!!

MY PONY TAIL MUST HAVE BEEN TO TIGHT

O.K.     SO I HAD SOME MOMENTS..YOU KNOW THE KIND...YOU WANNA RIP SOMEONE'S LIPS OFF...BUT....WHO'S.....LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ALL THE ANNOYING THINGS THAT JUST PISSED ME OFF.   WHO TRAVELS WITHOUT A BACK UP CAMERA....REMEMBER THE PICS WE DIDN'T GET AT CADILLAC RANCH?  THE ONLY PLACE I WILL EAT A HAMBURGER AT IS A&W...I LOVE TEEN BURGERS, SO DON'T MESS WITH MY BURGER.  IN THE U.S. AT THE LOCAL A&W THE FRIENDLY YOUNG MAN HAD NEVER HEARD OF A TEEN BURGER....WHAT....I LOOK AROUND..YEP THIS IS AN A&W.  THEY DO HOWEVER HAVE THE ORIGINAL BURGER....SO IN THE PICTURE IT LOOKS LIKE A TEEN BURGER....LET'S TRY ONE.   REALLY....WHY WOULD THEY MESS WITH A GOOD THING?  THEY ALSO THOUGHT I WAS 'CRAZY' SINCE I ASKED FOR VINEGAR FOR MY FRENCH FRIES....WHAT !!!     NOW THIS NEXT SUBJECT IS A LITTLE TOUCHY....I AM CHOOSING MY WORDS CAREFULLY.....WHY WOULD A MAN THAT HAS RECEIVED 3 WARNINGS FROM THE POLICE,  ARGUES WITH THAT GPS BITCH....STILL GETS LOST USING MAP QUEST....WHY WOULD THIS MAN EVEN THINK OF TELLING ME HOW TO DRIVE.!!!  NOW UNDERSTAND....HE DOES NEED TO TELL ME WHERE WE ARE GOING....THAT IS DIFFERENT...BUT REALLY...IS HE 'CRAZY'.......... ENOUGH ABOUT THAT.    NEXT...BATHROOMS....THE CLEANEST....LOVE'S STATIONS, THEY EVEN HAVE SHOWERS.  NEXT WOULD BE MCDONALDS.  NOW THIS IS WHEN I HAVE MY BIGGEST HILLBILLY MOMENTS.  THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO FLUSH THE TOILET...WHY CAN'T THERE JUST BE THE ONE WAY..  YOU KNOW THE WAY....WITH YOUR FOOT.  SOME TOILETS FLUSH ON THERE OWN...AS SOON AS YOU STAND UP....SOME TOILETS YOU PUSH A BUTTON TO FLUSH....I WAS STRANDED IN THE BATHROOM AT THE WYNN HOTEL, I WOULDN'T LEAVE THE CUBICLE UNTIL THE TOILET FLUSHED....LITTLE DID I KNOW....IT WOULDN'T FLUSH UNTIL I LEFT THE CUBICLE !!! NEXT...ON TO THE TAPS....DO YOU PUSH THE TAP, TURN THE TAP, WAVE AT THE TAP HOLY HELL, CAN WE JUST PICK A WAY TO TURN ON THE FRIGGIN  TAP AND MAKE IT UNIVERSAL......HOW DO WE DRY OUR HANDS....PAPER TOWELS, REAL TOWELS, HOT AIR, COLD AIR......I WAS FEELING TOTALLY LOST, TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO DRY MY HANDS.....FINALLY SOMEONE COMES INTO THE BATHROOM AND I WATCH AS SHE INSERTS HER HANDS INTO  SOME ODD GADGET ON THE WALL.....FRICK, I ENDED UP DRYING THEM ON MY JEANS.    O.K  MAYBE MY PONY TAIL WAS TO TIGHT.
