Hi Peeps!
Some of you have asked where Beachy Mimi has disappeared, escaped, eloped or whatever.
I'm on VACATION with the Peeps. That is, PeepOne and PeepTwo and the Beachy Mimi are taking a two week trip to the islands.
I hope to have lots of stories and pictures when I return.
Until then, please continue to pray for the adoption process of La Princesa. Check out Queen B for some cute photos.
See you in two weeks!!
J. update** nothing much to tell. Still dating.

Summer Trip 2009
I guess you know by now that Beachy Mimi loves to travel.
By travel, I mean even short little weekend pops as well as week-long trips.
Now that PU has the Love Shack, most of my traveling has been to Florida and has been wonderful.
But, Beachy Mimi and PeepOne and PeepTwo are headed to the islands!! This is sort of a last minute trip...even though it won't happen for about six more weeks. We are having a ball planning our excursions.
We are going somewhere in the Carib. with only a carry-on bag for eleven days.
Can you say...BATHING SUIT!!!
They have been before, but this will be my first time. Everything is ON SALE right now, so that is our haste to make reservations for this summer.
Insert Happy Dance here.
I am so fortunate to not only have a mom that loves to travel, but travel buddy friends, too.
Now, if I can find a single, traveling bald man....

An Absolutely Beautiful Day
Oh, Peeps! It is a gorgeous day here on the coast. The sun is shining, people are out walking on the beach and everyone is SMILING. It's just amazing.
Sibling and SIL went home yesterday so I'M OFF THE COUCH! Not that I minded being there, but it is SO nice to have a bed for a few nights.
PU and I are going to Target, love, love, love, and to the grocery story and who knows what else.
I hope there is something making you smile today....please leave me a comment and tell me.

I've Got The Power!
Yes, Peeps. I now have power to the computer and the internet.
Not for long. Maybe long enough to get this posted.
First, thank you for all the prayers on the behalf of Queen B and The Palace. They and others like them are really in a mess right now.
A tree fell on G.'s house--through the roof-- and another fell on his son's car--breaking the windshield and denting the hood.
This is sort of a NWA version of a hurricane or something. We get some of these ice storms about every 10 years or so and our infrastructure is just not equipped to cope with all the damage.
This has taught me a good lesson. When I return from Florida (sorry B) I plan to fix up a disaster kit with all the necessary tape, water, tools, chainsaw?
Those of you who went through Katrina, Ike or some other natural disaster know how difficult it is for people unable to work (no work=no pay).
They all need our prayers.
Now, I wish to address another topic. G. G. and the tacky comment left by Anonymous on the NOT AGAIN! post.
Did you know that when you sign as anonymous, I can still look you up so I know who you are.
I am not being disrespectful of G. He has a great sense of humor and is still laughing over me asking to see his toes. He knows he needs some "rehabilitation" because he has been alone for 4 years. He is a happy camper and yes, I have done some very nice things for him. I just told him that Valentine's Day was his chance to really shine. I think he will probably cook for me and I think that is great.
The personal attacks? Whatever. That person doesn't know me AT ALL.
That person can also BITE ME and move on to another blog that makes them happy.
Sorry, Peeps. I wasn't even going to mention it but Evil Beachy Mimi got the best of me.
More tales from the beach later....

Pinks Are My Favorite Color
Oh, Peeps!! I got to meet Fuschia and her 5 Pinks the other day!! Yay!
PeepOne and I drove very far away (an hour) to meet Fuschia and the girls at the Pizza Hut and have lunch.
Aren't they just the cutest girls you've ever seen?
And so polite! Wonderful manners. They entertained
themselves while we ate and laughed.
Here's a shot of PeepOne, Fuschia and Yours Truly. We are now officially sisters.
That Fuschia is so BEAUTIFUL Gorgeous skin, hair and a beautiful smile. Wow. And, her personality is darling...just like her girls.
We were so lucky to get to meet them. We'll do this again!
I can't tell you even a hint of what we talked about...it is Secrets Ya'll. Secrets.
There may or may not have been the word "bald" mentioned. But I'm Not Sayin'

Thank you so much
Kristen at NO SMALL THING was so sweet to pass this super, but undeserved award for being Kreativ....maybe not so much but I love awards and bling and I thank you so much.
I believe I have to answer some questions...like tell you six things that make me happy.
1. I love being at the beach...it makes me smile. However, there was an OLD man in a...thong out and about yesterday. EWWW. Smile faltered just a little.
2. I love my kids...they crack me up most of the time
3. I would love for Mr. Specific, the future bald guy love of my life, to show up
and make me VERY HAPPY.
4. Bubble baths also get a little grin from me. I've just got to be honest here... any sort of self-pampering makes me want to giggle a little bit.
5. Chocolate and Peppermint Bark at Christmas puts me in a happy mood.
6. A coke does it for me anytime, 24-7.
Pitiful isn't it? I have such a small life. If I had a 7, which I don't, I would have to say sleep, naps, power naps (15 minutes only) and....sleep...make me happy, too.
I desperately need rescuing... I'm tagging Queen B...Heh Heh
More later on my big super-duper palooza face to face meeting with Fuschia and the 5 Pinks today. Pictures and everything!
My Little Cans of Whoop-Bottom
Sometimes, a gal just needs to carry a can of WHOOP-A** in her purse.
I KNOW! Shocking isn't it.
I personally have two cans. Their names are PeepOne and PeepTwo. They get RILED if somebody gets up in my business and I love them for it.
So DETRACTOR, move on or I will sic them on you.
To the rest of my Peeps, I love you and will be back tomorrow!!

I'll Be Back On Monday
I just can't stay away from my Peeps! I'll be back on Monday with some new insight and probably bad subject matter.
They can't keep Beachy Mimi down!!

Whine, Whine and Whine
Well, Beachy Mimi is still sick. My voice sounds like a squeaky...something.
I did go to the real doctor today, not Queen B's Health Educator from WalMart.
The sickness was NOT in the budget for the month. Especially the MEDICATIONS. Oh my, I had 4 prescriptions than ran about $400. With insurance.
Just the usual stuff. High powered antibiotic, cough syrup and the stuff to take after the antibiotic does the itchy thing. It rhymes with BEAST INFECTION. And, if I may say so, is a beast. Though that is actually the most important RX and it was just $3. Something is just WRONG that medicines cost so much. It makes me sick!!..hahahaha
Sickbed humor.
The Parental Unit said she would come take care of me...She walked in the door, poured a can of Rotel in the soup I was making, and left. Time nursing--10 seconds.
I guess with the Rotel I can add stomach problems to my chest problems.
Actually, this soup is pretty good and hearty when you are well.
Beachy Mimi's Sick Soup
2 cans Progresso Minestrone Soup
2 lbs. fried ground beef
2 cans pinto beans
2 cans Rotel
Fry meat, mix together for 30 minutes or so and eat. It is really better the second day.
Anyway, as the weather gets cooler here this soup just hits the spot...if you aren't having an intestinal issue. Which, I'm not, so PU's contribution was welcome.
A nurse...she isn't. It was always get better or die at our house growing up.
Now that I have my own home I don't have anyone to take advantage of and make them bring me Sonic cokes and stuff. Bummer.
Queen B...your mommy is calling...help.
She's ignoring me. She is sick, herself. In fact, she got a shot in the hiney this morning and now she is disgustingly better. And not coming near my germs.
If we lived in the same town I would so totally milk this situation.
Instead I have PU, who took Nursing (minus) -101.
I've been checking out blogs while I am here in the sickbed and I am finding something alarming. ALARMING, YA'LL.
Most everyone seems to have the Bloggy Blues. Several of my Precious Peeps are quitting.
NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO! Please don't go. You may think your posts are not interesting, but they ARE. People in the sickbed DEPEND on your bloggy goodness.
Take a walk around the block, go to Sonic, clean out a closet...JUST DON'T LEAVE.
We all have days (like today) when nothing much seems interesting or blogworthy, but it IS.
Trust me on this. Some of us HAVE to live vicariously through your blogisms, MEMEs, awards, photos, contests, recipes, tips, recommendations...you see? YOU ARE NEEDED!
Besides, don't you secretly love your comments and statcounter? HUH? Come on. Admit it. You check. Some of you check OFTEN. Just to see if you matter to at least one person.
Well, you matter. Don't quit. There's bloggy material all over the place. MIL, SIL, neighbors, PU's, bald guys, kids, hubs, the weather...lots of stuff and it is ALL GOOD.
If I can't milk a family member for more attention, it will have to be my Peeps!
With the miracle $400 antiobiotic, I will probably be naturally blonde and weigh 50lbs less by morning.
Stay tuned.

The Cake Recipe
Several Peeps have asked for the recipe to the cake I mentioned in the 100 Things post.
So in the spirit of helpfulness, here is the wonderful cake:
Beachy Mimi's Guilty Pleasure
1 box cake mix baked according to pkg directions (I prefer to use chocolate)in a 9 x 13 pan
When cake comes out of the oven, poke holes all over it with the handle of a wooden spoon
Mix together 1 can of Eagle Brand Milk( choose your level--regular, lite or free)
and 1/2 can Cream of Coconut.
Pour the mixture over the cake and thouroughly cover the cake.
Stick in the refrigerator and cool completely.
Remove and ice with your favorite Cool Whip.
Refrigerate until VERY Cold and serve.
Very simple. Very BAD. Very Yummy. Bad Mimi.
Eat a piece for me. Have a great weekend!

Saving the Day...... A Giveaway!!!
Do you have any idea how much mail accumulates when you are gone for a month? Amazing. No wonder the postal people are always in a bad mood.I have some wonderful Interpeep buddies. I'm going to tell you about PeepOne.
You are very fortunate if you have a friend to pal around with. Friends are truly a gift from the Lord, and not everyone has one. I have been through periods in my life when I had acquaintances, but not a running-buddy.
Now I am a FIRM believer that women need women. I know that husbands are usually our best friends and that is right and good. But, sometimes Peeps, you just need girl time.
I don't know how many years I have known PeepOne. Forever, it seems. Right from the first we hit it off and just had the greatest times doing stuff. She has always been my "travel buddy" and we have taken vacations, shopping trips, business trips and any- excuse- we- could- find
trips. Yes, she has even been with me on my some of my wild OOT haircut escapades.
Peep's husband is a super guy. He doesn't like to travel, but he sees the need in her to get out and do stuff so he doesn't mind when we take off for a few hours, a weekend or a week. Actually, about 10 days is his limit. But that's okay.
A true friend tells you the truth......regardless. Sometimes, ouch! But we need that. Sometimes we need someone to give us a kick or tell us to get our "big girl" britches on.
A true friend loves you despite your quirks and quackiness. A true friend is by your side when you need them.
I don't think PeepOne has been to my house in the past year that she hasn't brought me a Sonic coke and a breakfast biscuit (plain) from McDonalds. Every time.
If it is past breakfast time, she shows up with a Sonic coke to SAVE THE DAY.
Once again, PeepOne has come to my rescue. She's going with me to pack my stuff. And help.
And make me suck it up and get on with it. I need that.
And, I'm sure she will make more than one trip to Sonic to get us cokes and again, SAVE THE DAY!
Do you have a person in your life that saves your day? Someone that shows up when you need them and props you up when you can't stand by yourself?
My GIVEAWAY is a $100 gift card to Sonic.....what else? Maybe I can save YOUR day.
Just leave a comment and tell me about your Peep. I'll close the comments at 6pm CDT on Wednesday.
UPDATE NOT A DAUGHTER OR A SISTER A NON FAMILY MEMBER
