Liar Liar

Well...I am completely full of shit all the way around!! 

#1 - Julie? Didn't show up. 2 days in a row. Scratch everything nice I said about her.
#2 - Having the flu would be a step up! I am tired, cranky, itchy, legs ache, veins stick out like a road map of  LA, bitchy (nothing new)!
#3 - Didn't make the pie...but.......I made cherry cobbler which was a big hit.

The BBQ was nice. Jack really enjoyed himself. He turned 88. Not a huge crowd, but an assembly of really good friends. Husband did really good on the chicken.

Extremely busy day yesterday and again today. Tomorrow...ditto. Then, a little slower until Friday. I am counting down the days (literally) until the 8th of November. We have been back in Texas for over 4 1/2 years. I have been to Ft. Stockton 5 times, Odessa twice, El Paso once and San Antonio once.  I NEED to get out of here! I hope I come back with a better attitude. My friends will appreciate it, I'm sure. I will make a check list for the 'countdown of things to do' when I am done with this.

Since I haven't been on a plane since well before September 11, I need to scale down everything to 'travel size'. I am definitely NOT high maintenance, cosmetics foo-foo stuff is not an issue...but I need shampoo, conditioner...you know...that stuff. I am also not a fancy dresser. I wear jeans and t-shirts. That's it. An iron is a vitamin. But I'll at least find one good shirt and clean socks.

Wait...I am a liar. I have been to Odessa 3 times. Oh my God! I am a world traveler!

Even though I am at death's door...I managed to make 4 pairs of earrings tonight. Big Whoop. I need to buck up and get busy.

We had a very slight rainstorm this evening. A couple good claps of thunder and a lightning strike close enough to knock the power out. Rain is predicted for tomorrow afternoon and evening. Hopefully.

Tom wants me to turn the light off. I will make him happy. Good night all!
