Super Tuesday

Today is Super Tuesday here in Oklahoma.  I really can't wait till this stupid election is over, mainly to have different news to watch.  I'm already tired of the commercials and every single news program is nothing but election stuff.  The main thing I'm ready to end are the phone calls.  They come every single day, several times a day, Sunday's included.  Yesterday, when I got home from a very long day at the office I checked our phone messages which usually area NONE.  There were no less than six messages, one was a message we needed.  That meant five were political and they were all within less than an hour.  I'm glad I wasn't home.  Last night I went to the walking group and while The Hubby was home but on a walk with Clayton I came home to find the light blinking.  There were another three messages, one an actual message.  It is just ridiculous.  I deal with sales crap calls all day long at the office and trust me, you don't want me to answer your phone call.  Normally I am a very nice person on the phone but sales calls and now political calls...OOOOOOooooo!  Unfortunately the political ones are usually automated and recorded,  I can't rail at anyone person! 

Would you rather travel to space or go deep into the ocean?

The question today for National Blog Posting Month is "Would you rather travel to space or go deep into the ocean?"  That is such an easy one for me!  First, definitely NOT deep into the ocean.  I hate any water to swim in unless you can see the bottom and yes I know you can see the bottom in some waters.  I then qualify that statement to say you have to see the bottom and absolutely NO critters in the waters.  So I'm pretty happy in a pool.  Ever since the movie Jaws came out I have had some horrible fears of the ocean and lake waters.  I am an excellent swimmer with earning the Senior Lifesaving at the age of 14 but NO WAY!  I don't even like to watch television shows about what is down there. 

Now the space travel.  Yes, yes, yes, I would be on the first space shuttle to live in outer space.  I have been enamoured with space travel ever since the first man in space.  The love was also fueled by television shows like Lost In Space and Star Trek.  Oh how that would be such an adventure, and I am NOT an adventurer, at all. 

How about you, which would you like to do if any?

A Scanning Fool

I decided to get my Momma & Daddy's Wedding album out and scan some pictures on Friday.  What treasures I found in that album that I either had forgotten or mother had hidden behind other pictures.

My dear Daddy, #43 for the Broken Arrow Tigers, probably 1953-54

Oh my goodness, Momma.  What a cutie and those huge pants.

That would be me in my momma's belly! I was born June 56.

 A find behind a picture.  That is my Daddy squatting down by the bin of tops for fishing reels.   He worked for ZEBCO or formally known Zero-Hour Bomb Company during the war. 

"Whistle" - Momma!

Love this picture of Momma.

Comment Verification

A friend commented the other day that she could not comment on my blog because of the comment verification problem so I took it off.  It has been a couple of weeks and the spam I am getting is horrendous.  I have put it back to save my email account the workout.  Really, it was getting silly and I know it is probably the automated stuff.  I love email, snail mail anything and it was tiring to hear, "You've Got Mail," and find junk stuff.  So sorry for the inconvenience but it has to be for a bit.  For the one who had the problem, lets try again and see if it works, if not I may consider undoing again as I love to hear from you.

Gardening

It has been YEARS since I have really, really gardened and yesterday I did it. Oh my aching back but so worth it. I am still on the hunt for seed potatoes and hope to get some tomorrow to plant Saturday. Yesterday I planted onions sets, lettuce, spinach and peas. It was tedious and hard because the flowerbed I'm using is full of roots and our sprinkler system so I can't go real deep. I would LOVE (hint, hint, hint) to have a small tiller and be darned the sprinkler thingy but it is what it is.  I think my eyes got the best of me with the Burpee catalog.

Oh my GOD, I look like my mother. 

Oh Poop!

The title, well, I mean it literally, really I do, but more on that in a bit...

Last night The Hubby and I attended (instead of my walking group) a private party Casino and dancing night at the famed Cain's Ballroom.  Mid Life Crisis Band played and we danced and danced and danced, so there was no need for the walking, trust me.  I was dripping wet by the time we traveled home from the event.  We saw several people we knew and even danced with a couple, he with her and I with him, that we knew from the cabin area but have never socialized with.  I have to admit, hear me people, I kind of had fun, that is after 3 glasses of wine and getting over my stagefright.  I really have to push myself to get over being scared out of my wits on the dance floor, but I did it.  The Hubby was overjoyed with me!  We did West Coast Swing and a bit of the 70's stuff, which I love, and he attempted to slow dance.  I told him he really needs to take a few lessons in that as I felt I was being pushed around the room but we had fun in the end, and that is what mattered to him. 

Now to the title of this post, Oh Poop!  As we traveled to the event we came to Main Street and turned north to Cain's, which was up the block.  I looked to the left at a construction site and a chain link fence.  There was a, I think homeless guy, longish dark unruly hair, young probably mid 30's, with his pants pulled down to his mid-thighs.  He was facing the street but bent forward with his butt pressed against the chain link fence and wait for it.......POOPING!  I saw it, SAW IT!  EGAD!  I said, "OH MY GOSH, HE'S POOPING!"  I could not believe my eyes.  I should not be shocked though as we have a homeless lady that shows up at our office front step and does her business on the concrete "thingy" you drive you car up to.  So far I think we have scared her off for a bit but there's not much you can do.  It made me think about the homeless and what they do to take care of their personal stuff and I guess this is it.  I've done my share of hiding behind trees in the woods when camping and such and a few rugged outhouses, but never a chain link fence or concrete "thingy".  A sad life.  I can't imagine it.  Actually, I've been thinking about the homeless that I see often every day, walking up and down the streets and it just makes me sad.  Some are mentally not there, some are alcholics and drug abusers and some I would imagine just don't have a place.  In fact, in the past month I've watched the police and ambulance workers pick up one that was intoxicated and fell off the curb on his face.  Wednesday I saw one that just sat down at a stop light and passed out and the police and ambulance workers were aiding him.  Again, a sad life.   

Bifftastica

Our girl is in the news, again, yes both girls are pretty newsworthy!  The new Tulsa People, March edition that should be out by now is featuring our oldest, Briana.  Check out Bifftastica!

Gavin DeGraw

Well, well, well, imagine my surprise this morning when I heard the new list for Dancing With The Stars for this season...Gavin Degraw was on it.  It's so funny about that, because when I was trying to think of something to post, his video popped up on the screen while I was treadmilling and it came to me.  I love his music first of all and everytime I see him I think of him on the show What I Like About You.  He was at Jenny Garth's wedding (I can't remember her character name) on the show and she was gilted.  They sat at the piano and she kissed him, made out with him, at the piano and I LOVED it and remembered it!  Cutie!  That is what is on my mind everytime I see him on the screen...those lips! 

Watch till the end...

I vowed not to watch DWTS again, but now, well, hey, I'm there, at least to watch him.  Sorry my girls, Mom's can have crushes too! 

Shame On Me.

I have erred.  I missed a day of posting.  I hold my head in shame...not really.  I just could not come up with anything yesterday and besides I seem to have a horrible sinus headache.  The mind does not want to work with this aching.  A weekend at the cabin plus an early spring equals sinus headache and allergies galore.  Had to get up in the middle of the night and take headache relief and that was not fun...ouchy.  I have to get rid of this before tonight because it is the first installment of the WalkFit program. 

Back to no posting.  I am human and it may happen more often than not but I will still hold true to my promise of posting everyday, hopefully. 

Hope everyone has a great Monday.  It's time to head to the office for me.  Toodles all!

Mish-Mash, This-n-That

Today is just a mish-mash of pic's I found on my computer. 

This is an old Blondie cartoon I have kept for years.  It makes me laugh because in 1979, summer of 1979, I was extremely pregnant with my first, B, and was in my parents backyard sitting in a lawn chair watching my Daddy.  Daddy was putting up a hammock for Momma (she was in side).  He worked and we chatted and then he had it done.  It was time to try it out and I knew it would not be me so Daddy did the trial run.  He sat, he flipped feet over head backwards.  I was shocked briefly and then started laughing so hard that I thought I would have that baby right there.  He ended up on the ground under the hammock, feet splayed out in front of him.  It was the funniest thing I have EVER seen, my big strong Daddy flying thorough the air.  This cartoon is homage to that minute in my life (and his). 

This sweet little ride I am missing a lot right now with the spring upon us.  The Hubby has been in hot water for a long time since he sold it saying it was not practical and he didn't have room to store it....!!!!  Won't go into the argument but he is/was WRONG!  I miss it truly. 

Found this sweet pic of some kind of moth I took the snapshot of a couple of years ago.  Beautiful. 

Oh, memories of we three and Momma.  The photographer was our Granny on our yearly trip to the zoo.  It was an annual event that we took our lunch and then spent the day.  Great fun.
