A quick update...

I'm reading much more than I'm writing these days. I've finished 13 books so far this year, half of them being Charlaine Harris novels! That lady sure can write an addictive tale. I'm finished with her vamp books, now, though, so maybe I can move on to other things on my list.

Florida was wonderful. It was a nice, relaxing vacation full of fun, friends, and flip-flops. I am very sad that I'm still a month or two away from flip-flop weather here in Ar-Kansas. There were many wonderful pics taken, mostly of Little D, but as most of you know, I'm not a fan of posting a lot of personal pics online. The pics of me... sigh... They were an eye-opener. I've started eating right, again, and exercising, again, and have a 4 lb weight loss to show for it this week. I've got a long way to go, but maybe I can get there by the time our next vacation rolls around in August.

Still haven't edited a single word of my craptastic novel. The more I think about it, the more I don't like the story. But I may go ahead and clean it up a little, just for my friends.

No word on the transfer. The waiting game is a PITA!!! We pretty much know where we're going, but we have no idea WHEN. I'm so tired of being in limbo. I am ready to get out of Ar-Kansas, though I think living here has been a good experience for me, in a weird way. I'm ready to buy a house and start all over in a new town. I love change, I love moving, and I love fresh starts. Get me back to Oklahoma already!!!

I've been on a news hiatus. A republican friend who likes to give me hell said he couldn't believe it. He assumed I'd be hanging on Obama's every move. Nope. I have faith in Obama, so I'm taking a worry break for now. The news is too goddamn depressing, and I don't understand even the most basic economic principles, so I'm taking a break. Instead, I'm focusing on my home, my daughter, my husband, and me!

Writing all this so far, I'm realizing how utterly boring my life is. I'll be back with more thought-provoking entries one of these days, maybe after the flowers start blooming, the sun starts shining, and the world seems alive again!

If I had a million dollars...

...I'd buy a town!




I don't care that it's in Texas. It has 41 pecan trees and a bar!  I'd sell pecan pies during the day and booze at night. I'd force Mr. D to put together a honky tonk band to entertain the tourists who stop through.  I'd build an RV park and a small cafe that specializes in southern cooking.

The possibilities are endless!!!  Who wants to loan me $883K?
