2010

Well its been the "New Year" for almost a month now. I took a trip to Texas on Christmas night. I wore garland around my neck from Christmas morning until midnight when my best friend took me to my Texas house from the airport. See my clients/friends had given me a gift with this cute green garland with little garland stockings on it. It made the perfect scarf. Best Friend didn't believe me really when I called her and told her thats what I'd be wearing. You see I don't really get embarrassed. Ever.

Texas was amazing. I bought A LOT of shirts because shopping is better there and I needed them to match the jewelry I got for Christmas. The food is also way better thats why I now weigh 350 lbs. Thanks mexican food.
I saw soooooo many good friends and laughed the whole time. My daddy rented me the biggest Ford truck you can imagine. I learned to drive in a truck. You wanna talk about a chick who CAN drive a truck????? ME!!!! The only thing I hit was a Target shopping cart. I was NOT one of those people who should not have been in a big truck. Ohhhh the looks I got at THOSE red lights. Especially while dancing to the Elvis and BeeGee's remastered cd's I bought. I didn't take pictures in Texas even though I always had the camera.

I embarrassed best friend at the Houston Natural Museum when looking at the Russian Zaar's jewels. If the sign said "unknown owner" I'd scream it was mine and demand they give me back my 8,000 carat necklaces, and tiaras back. I was the unknown owner and they didn't believe me!!!!


So I rung in the new year with awesome friends. No resolutions for me.... I just want to be a better person every day. Every day should also entail something extremely silly and fun. Do you think I really care if people in the car next to me see me dancing and singing at red lights? No.

January and February are SO boring. Everything is brown and dead and gross. So I have been on a journey to make it more enjoyable. Therefor I am making up excuses to have parties.

Elvis Presley would have been 75 on January 8th. We had a party for him. I made my mother go buy a cake at Publix. It was chocolate with chocolate fudge icing and pink roses. Yes, it DID say "Happy Birthday Elvis." I called everyone I knew and we had a party. Some poor people who had never met me or my family showed up. Hey, free food yah know. So after dinner when I dimmed the lights and put the candles on the cake a guy said "Are we REALLY going to sing Happy Birthday to Elvis????" My cousin with a defensive smart mouth defended me and Elvis. She said "YES WE ARE!!! AND we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus with cake too on Christmas OKAY???"
So just picture me holding my big "Life" edition of Elvis up and singing to him and letting him (me) blow out the candles. My hubby bought a present.... Elvis movies on DVD. Since Elvis wasnt here in person and it was MY party I got the present.

Since then we play our new Wii and have everyone over and they all kick my hiney at bowling. Even my mother is better than me. We stay up late three or four nights a week with everyone over. They send the husband out at 11 pm for dessert and ice cream and we act silly and last night mom and I sat at the table laughing until I cried all my makeup off.

Im the type of person who always has to have something to look forward to. So the end of February thru the first of March off to Texas I shall run again. Who says you can't go home? (which is the song thats playing right now!! Me and Mom believe in "sign songs." The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo will be kicking off with a BBQ cookoff. I went last year and was the life of the party. I'm expected to be there. I am kind of a big deal. That does not mean I will have time or the desire to speak to everyone there though. I shall be very busy I'll have plenty of other things to do to keep mom and best friend and her hubby entertained. Somebody's gotta make everyone laugh!

In the meantime I will be in the salon being THE Stylist to the Stars. Its my true love and never boring. I have made some of the greatest friends at the salon. My days are social events... my nights have to be perfectly arranged to spread the love between my husband, family and friends.

This brings me to Dixie. She is my best friend in the whole wide world. Sorry everyone. None of you follow me room to room, hug and kiss me FIVE GAZILLION times a day. Bark at neighbors when we're outside, and stand in front of me so little old ladys walking white fluffy dogs don't attack me. Husband may hold me or keep his hand on my back all night, and bring me cookies when my blood sugar drops, or walk me to the potty at 3 am when Im wondering around the house sleepwalking looking for a bathroom.... but Dixie doesn't leave my side unless she's sleepy like now. She sstrategically has moved MY pillow and MY blanket on the couch so she is covered up with her head on the pillow like her mommy lays. So right now she needs me to come lay down and watch Ugly Betty and The Kardashians. (yes I love the Kardashians. So make fun of me) Today is restful Monday day. Dixie and Mommy day. So I must run before I get in trouble.

Maybe I'll post SOME pictures of Facebook later.... If I can be bothered.
