I have a new family member

I have been working on my daughter and her fiances wedding plans for some time now. I finally got Jessica to agree on a location! Big plans are all in the works and most of the details are worked out. Then Jessica called me in the middle of a huge convention. She and Jeff eloped. They flew to Vegas and eloped! Really?? Really! Well, I was, and still am speachless over this. I mean, I am happy for them, and I'm sure that they made this decision together and found it to be the best for them. I mean, that's the most important thing. Billy and I are just really shocked! We will have to shift gears on the whole reception thing, but will still have it close to the original plan. Jessica has always been extremely good at the whole shock factor thing, but she out-did herself this time Anniversary date will be Aug. 22 now. So, now we have a new son in law; Jeff Becker. Welcome to the family Jeff! Shocking stuff! That's all I can say!!

cats and peoples

Peoples: "oh, look at the cute kitties! Lets keep them! Cats:"" Hmmm, wonder if the peoples are good to eats?" Peoples: See? They like us! They are rubbing on our legs! We definately should keep them! Lets give them very cute names!! Cats: They must taste good, I can smells bacon and eggs!! Cats: Let us in, Let us in! Peoples: No kitties, you can't come inside! Well, maybe for a little while. You are so cute! ~Opens door. Cats: Let us out, let us out! Peoples: Okay kitties, you can go out now. ~opens door. Cats peek outside, but remain inside. Cats: we were just checking to be sure that we could get you to do that. We want to stay in. ~Door shuts. Cats: we want to go out now! Peoples: I just opened the door for you, you don't really want to go out, silly kitties. Cats: Open the door, open the door, open the door, open the door, open the door! Peoples: Alright! ~door opens~ Now go outside. Cats: We just want to stand in the doorway. ~Flies come in, A/C goes out, Peoples get frustrated.... Cats: We like this new place.

You'll all be seeing a little less of me

Okay, I am finally committed to a diet. It's been a while since I have uttered that filthy little four letter word, but there it is. In black and white. I stepped out of the shower and caught one too many glimpses of my naked self, and the truth is there staring back at me. You are what you eat. I apparently eat way too much fat! Ah, those lovely huge bowls of ice cream piled up high in my bowl, sometimes just barely able to cover the fruits and other yummy sweets smothered in the pure delight! ~Why have ice cream alone when cookies, candies and syrups all blend so nicely?! I would find the smallest spoon so as not to eat this bowl of joy in too big a rush! NO! I must savor every sweet morsel! Savor, I did! Now look! I am filling up on a gallon of water and loving my 500 calorie diet! (I AM actually very full right now) I can count on some very tough times ahead, but I can also see me going clothes shopping!!!! I also have some very good friends along for this torturous ride of slender beauty! So, I bid you ado, and see a little less of me around here. ;)
