For those of you in the Meat Group, I apologize for letting Meat Day slack as much as it has. However, today that changes and Meat Day returns, for today at least.
So, for those of you in the Group and those who love meat, go out there and EAT some MEAT!
Personally, I am going to get some beef ribs or a nice fat, juicy rib-eye and gorge myself tonight. I will chase it all down with the sweetest tea in South Mississippi. That's correct, I am going to Leatha's tonight!
Eat some Meat!

since I read a book that scared me so badly I couldn't sleep.
I stated Stephen King's Duma Key last night around 9 p.m.; about midway through I realized I had to try to sleep soon and started scanning through the second half of the book because I knew I wasn't going to sleep until the ghost had been laid to rest, so to speak.
Hmph.
I should know there's no skimming with books like that. By 3:30 I was almost finished, but at the most tense part, when ... flicker, flicker, off - the power went out.
Two problems. One, I was already scared almost out of my mind. Two, I had to finish that damn book. Stumbled around until I found a flashlight to read the last 10 or so pages, which, of course, involve a flashlight in a remarkably creepy way. Good, now that's done.
But I have no alarm clock and the juice on my cell phone is too far gone for me to rely on using it as an alarm in the morning. Opened the blinds thinking the morning sun would surely wake me up on time and tried to sleep, but no dice.
Finally the power came back on around 4:15. I had to reset my alarm but apparently did it wrong, because it failed to go off this morning and I was late for work.
Nice one, Stephen! Nice one! I don't think you've creeped me out like this since, oh, Pet Semetary? And how you managed to get the power to go out right at that moment ...

If I have a retail weakness, it's Target. I can shop anywhere in the world and not feel the overwhelming urge to buy, buy, buy! Clothes, shoes, baby stuff, kid stuff, bedding, furniture, decor, groceries, EVERY THING.
Tonight, I went in there to just browse. Nick was off to his dad's for the weekend so it was just me and Zo. Girls' night out shopping. I was just hoping to get some sandals and a pair of shorts for myself and Nick. I won't say how much I spent, but it was well over the idea I had in my head before I ever left the house. I'll probably take two of the shirts back because they fit weird, but I love me some bermuda shorts. I also bought a new bedding set for Zo..well, the beginning of a new bedding set.
I only bought the quilt, dust ruffle and a fitted sheet. I'm going to go back and get the rest but I'm staying away from the mobile and bumper pad because she's 6 months, we don't need it.
Note: I have a thing for ladybugs. I love them! Fun fact for the day, my first word was ladybug. But, it was also the name of our pet collie. That dog and I were best buds, and my parents had to constantly tell her to back off (she hung over me like I was her baby) so I picked up on her name.
I am back on LJ. If any of you are over there, let me know. I feel more comfortable over there, I've known the people on my friends list for a very long time (some 5+years) and I need a comfort zone. Add my username _thats_so_hot_ (I need a new one!)
I had today off. It's nice having 3 days off, working one, having another day to hang out with the kids! I went in to drop some stuff off for my boss, and she pulled me aside and said I got a raise! I've only been there coming on 2 months, so I'm surprised and happy about this. Needless to say, I really enjoy my job, even though my main role will be dying down this summer (retail slows down) and I'll be doing the normal retail grind.
I took the kids to the park Monday as a "surprise". Nick loves surprises so when he goes above and beyond to be well-behaved, I usually get him something or take him on a "surprise". So we went to our favorite park:
She had her 6 month check up yesterday and she's 16.2 lbs! She's almost doubled in size! Every thing is right on for her, even a little early. She has separation anxiety which just means anyone who takes her from my arms ends up with her screaming in their ears. She's a mommy's girl, except when Derek is around. She won't cry, but she looks for me if he's holding her.
This weekend is Mayfest which is SO much fun! I love Mayfest. I haven't missed it in over 7 years, so we'll be heading Downtown Saturday night. Expect lots of fun pictures!
P.S. Vote David Cook on American Idol! I'm off to vote for him in Tulsa's ABoT awards for best Male Vocalist of Tulsa :)

Taken with the PaS. Its a bad hair day, but I've not showered yet. Just enjoying cruising around and visiting my neighbors here this morning. Although, I have done a load of laundry, loaded the dishwasher and made the bed. Got the basic chores done so far!
So what do you think? I know it is time to go get it trimmed up and styled, but I am so reluctant to have any of it cut off yet. It took too long to get it this far.
Do you like the color? The grays were really stubborn, but now at least they look like highlights instead of gray! I was six months from last chemo on the 13th.
