Stay In Your On Age Bracket (or not)

How I get myself in messes! Does anyone else ever do that?

For the L o n g e s t time I have wanted jeans with holes in them. I know they are for younger girls, twenty-somethings and thirty-cuties with good figures.

I am none of these.

I still have wanted some. I've gone up to complete strangers to ask them
"Who does your hair? and Where did you get your jeans?"

Most say, "I got them at Gap two years ago, etc. etc."

Last week, I had lunch with Queen B and forced asked nicely if she would take me in a teen-age store to look for some jeans.

They thought I was looking for The Princess until I told them a size.
The guy waiting on me--blinked once, and recovered nicely and said, "I'll see what we have in the back."

I think he went back there to laugh himself silly.

He eventually came back with a couple for me to try on. They were WAY too long but since this store does alterations, I felt like they would be great.

I wanted to leave them to be fixed, but the guy said they would shrink in the length and I might want to wash them first.

Okay.

Next scene. Beachy Mimi washing jeans immediately.

OMGosh. They shrunk. ALL OVER.

I put them on and the waistband didn't even cover the essentials. I'm not talking about the back essentials...THE FRONT ESSENTIALS.

I just collapsed in a heap.

I was trying to crawl under the bed to suck my thumb when Mr. Semi-Wonderful (not quite over the non-sympathy of the tooth. Just a few more days and I will be) walked in the bedroom and said, "What's wrong?"

I stood up.

He tried. He really did. But the laughter just burst forth!

Note to self: GIVE IT UP.

Okay. I confessed. I feel SO much better.


Love my Peeps.

NEW DUDS

Hey, Peeps!

We're going to be getting some new duds around here.

That is, Beachy Mimi is getting an update. Woo Hoo.

I love updates.

One of my favorite things to do is go to a department store makeup section on Saturday (Neiman Marcus)
and getting a makeover.   They will fix you up even if you aren't going to purchase a thing.  It's a great way to see the new makeup trends on your little 'ole face.

Soon I will have my 300th post.  I'm thinking about a giveaway.   More about that later.

Update on detox:  The water is getting less yucky.   I think it is working.

Question.   Do the Peeps take vitamins and if so what?

Love ya more than Bananas Foster ice cream from Haagan Daz.

A Fun Weekend

We had a fabulous weekend, Peeps!

Saturday, Mr. Wonderful cooked a couple pots of soup and Beachy Mimi made a chocolate gooey cake.

Then...

All our children Peeps and my grandchild Peep came over to eat and play games.


We all squished around the table and got to know each other a little better.

Queen B brought some FABULOUS cupcakes from Bliss Cupcake Cafe blisscupcakecafe.com, on Center Street in Fayetteville. If you are in the area.

GO THERE. GO NOW. YOU WILL THANK ME LATER.

We played

Battle of the Sexes and of course the females won.

Question? Who knew a 2x4 was not really that size? Sounds like a male thing.

Also, the pitchers mound is 60'6" from Home Plate? Why now 60' or 61'? Only a guy would make things so difficult.

The men got questions like, "where do you wear a barrette?" duh...

We still beat them. Not that I'm gloating or anything...heh heh

Update on packing**** I know that no one cares, but the packing is comsuming what few brain cells I have left after getting my daily Olympic Fix.

Mr. Wonderful has decided that I should take the medium suitcase and he the large one so I will not overpack and we will have room to bring home loot.

When he suggested this option, I got dizzy and may or may not have fallen in a heap in the floor.

In my quest to take as little as possible, I gathered up all my pj's that were mostly black (for washing purposes) and put them aside to stick in (his) the suitcase. Now I can't find them. Anywhere. That is so frustrating.

Anyway, I told Mr. Wonderful since I had to take the smaller suitcase, he would have to pack my bras and bathing suit in HIS suitcase. It's the cups. They take up too much room. I got some t-shirt bras (wonderful purchase) but they don't fold up like my regulars.

Don't you think that is only fair?

I have bigger infrastructure requirements than a guy. He just has underwear...I have TWO pieces of underwear to deal with.

Guys can subsist on so little. He is taking shorts and t-shirts. I can't meet new people in shorts and a t-shirt. What about dinner? What about cute? What about
SHOES? He is taking flip flops.

I gotta go search for the pj's...Love ya, Peeps.

Happy 2010 To The Peeps!

Hello, everyone.

Or to the one person who reads this. Greetings.

The end of 2009 was hectic.

Mr. Wonderful and I took honeymoon # 2 to Mexico and # 3 to Hawaii. We took no pictures.

Honeymoon # 4 comes in March when I go meet relatives and friends in South Africa.

I'll be sucking my thumb until then because that is a l o n g flight. As in 18 hours, over alot of water. In coach.

I'm sure I'll be as fresh as a daisy when we land and have to meet new people. NOT.

As you may have already read, my baby, The Queen B has just had a birthday that puts her closer to 40 than 30. Heh Heh

I can chuckle because once you are 50...well, age just doesn't matter.

We had great holidays with new combined families. We feel so blessed.

Mr. Wonderful continues to be wonderful. Every day is so much fun.

What are your resolutions for 2010? I knew better than to make any, but maybe knowing what you are doing will inspire me.

Nothing Much

I had thoughts of giving Mr. Wonderful away, but he cooks so I'll keep him.

Oh the fun of getting even.

We have no pictures yet, at least, ones that are okay to show you. The camera does NOT like me.

This has been a whirlwind week of moving him in and making room for his stuff.

We hope to take a small trip in November but it is okay if we don't.

Queen B is moved in her house and it is precious!! I'm sure she will have pictures soon. Today is The King's BD, plus moving, plus packing, plus cleaning, plus three new kittens...they are busy!!!

Please say a prayer for PeepOne's husband. He is very ill in the hospital with pancreatitis.

Have a good evening, Peeps. Talk to you soon.
