Merry Christmas!!!Friday (and I just realized that I posted last night a day too early): We had a good Christmas. Lotsa food, presents, and laughs. Saturday: The wrestling community lost a good guy today. Jon Huber (Luke Harper/Brodie Lee) was a favorite. He passed suddenly at the age of 41, he was battling a non-Covid lung issue. I have read hundreds of well wishes, but this one hurt the most. *adult language* Bray Wyatt speaks on the passing of his friend, Jon Huber: "You were my best friend. My brother, my partner, my Terry Gordy. We changed this whole game because we refused to do it any way but OUR way. We were always at our best when we were a team I think we both knew it. We fought like brothers because we were. I'm so goddamn pissed. This isn't how it was supposed to be, it was supposed to be us fat, bald and useless running Wyatt Family spots in high school gyms in our 70's. Where do we go now? What do I do knowing I'll never hear your condescending sarcasm as I am riding high. I miss you so fucking much already. I would do anything just live through our worst moments again I can't believe you're gone. I'm so sorry brother. I'm so sorry. You will always be a part of me, whether I like it or not without you everything is different and I hope Amanda truly knows that I am here not just to say it but because I love them too. I will make sure your son knows the incredible man you were. Not the legends people will tell but the real you that very few people got to see. I promise I'll put him over clean in dark matches when he's old enough just like I promised l'm hurting so bad. I wish I hada chance to say goodbye. But then again, it's Saturday and you know what that means.... save me a seat next to you wherever you are, that's where I belong. I'll be there when it's my time. Goodbye forever Brodie. I love you “ Bray Wyatt And y'all, when AEW did a 2 hour tribute to him, grown men cried. It was so respectful. Sunday: I am loving my new iPad. I am always late to the party, I know they've been out for years, but again, I resisted just like with the iPhone. I got a lot of candy, socks (YESSSSS), earrings, books, a foot bath, a back massager, a gnarly Starry Night puzzle, Pioneer Woman kitchen stuff...I had a good haul. Sweet stuff from my sisters. When Lily was stuffing her stocking when we went to Walmart, She picked out a BFF necklace. I am genuinely surprised that I received the other half. She did eyeball her daddy before I was handed the piece. Monday: Back to the work grind. THE DEER HEAD IS STILL IN THE FREEZER! Lily is enjoying her new loft bed. I thought it, then Rebecca said it, "how are you going to change the sheets?" Lily has since bought a body pillow "for safety purposes". Tuesday: I went to Minden/Shreveport today. The "find a wedding dress" saga continues for *unknown person who hasn't announced her engagement* yet. And NO Y'ALL, It is NOT my mother. The first place was a bust, and we shall never mention it again. We had to create a safe word just to get out of the place intact. Total hostage situation. The second place was good. "THE" dress may have been picked out. Lily had a full day planned with her daddy. I know how exhausted he was at the end of the day. She had to spend her Christmas money that was burning a hole in her pocket. Shopping with her is a love/hate thing. Wednesday: Y'all I am the worst. Yesterday was Scott's birthday. I was distracted thinking about how good that burger was from Logan's Roadhouse. Scott is the kitty to my litter box, the beach to my sunscreen, the trailer park to my tornado. We are so entirely opposite. But it works. Most days. I couldn't imagine a day without him. There are South Carolina and Georgia pictures of us floating around somewhere, but this girl has laundry to fold. He is my wonderwall. Thursday: I don't have a whole lot of meme's. I fail you. Friday: Happy New Year! Scott and I rang in the New Year by watching Tik Tok videos and laying under the covers. I was out cold at 12:03am. From 10-11:30 we watched episodes of The Pioneer Woman. The club can't even handle us right now. In hindsight, 2020 was a shitshow. People lost their lives, their jobs, their businesses, and their finances. I am sure I lost friends because I am Team Mask. Yes it's a piece of cloth, but it could save someone's life. Not one of my freedom's were taken away. I love y'all, thank you, my 7 readers for sticking with my lame-o blog. Here is to a blessed 2021.

Day 36: The Alabama Crimson Tide are the SEC champs! Work was good today. I giggled at one of the drivers, the song "Fancy" came on (Reba McEntire), and I said "oh yes, here is a song about prostitution", and the girl goes, "oh wow. I always thought it was about a pageant". I then remember when I watched Dirty Dancing as an adult, I finally knew what the watermelons were for, and that Penny's appointment was for an abortion. Who knew? Also, Ice Ice Baby is about drugs and drive by's. Day 37: Good off day. Had lunch and finished Christmas shopping with Rebecca and Lily. I always buy Lily a toy when we go out, and I told her since Christmas is this week, if she got a toy over a certain amount she had to wait til Christmas, or if it was below this amount, she could have it today. She instantly turned into a mathematician, and got a toy 3¢ below the cutoff line. Later, Scott and I went to buy groceries and look at Christmas lights. "15 minutes" was more like an hour. Lily and fam went to Christmas in the Park. I stole some pictures. Day 38: This salad, y'all. Peggy's Pizza has a "People's Choice" salad that I fell in love with. I tried to replicate it. I made three. It's what Jesus would eat. I used a spring/spinach mixture, pecans, apple, sunflower seeds, grilled chicken, feta cheese, cucumber, and tomato. I ate one without dressing, and two with Greek vinaigrette. Day 39: I am sure if you have read at least 2 blog posts I have published, that you know of my lifelong obsession with the band Little Texas. They were my entire teenage years. Since social media has become a thing, I have been able to correspond with them, and I have every one of their autographs, apart from Tim Rushlow. The original keyboardist Brady Seals went solo mid to late 90's, but alas, I badgered my way in. Tim Rushlow and I have spoken via Twitter and Instagram, and I will find my way in and get his autograph SOME HOW. When he isn't singing at Presidential Inaugurations. Day 40: Meme day. Also, I started this blog series on October 31st, and today is December 23rd. I lost time when my laptop died, and I did the math in my head. I should never do the math in my head. I googled the days, and it says I should be on day 53. Not 40. SO, I am forfeiting the days and will just do this thing by the week. Am I even on the correct week? Who knows. Thursday. I so miss Christmas time as a child. I had a flashback yesterday, I haven't smelled the perfume Wild Heart since my early teens, but I remembered it, and all of the Christmases around that time. Going to my Daddy's family for Christmas Eve, and then to my Mother's side. There was always a ton of food. Everything smelled like wood and cigarette smoke. Coming home to watch A Christmas Story. Seeing the Nativity scene at the Methodist church. Hearing and smelling fireworks from the neighbor's house. Waking up in the middle of the night, nothing but the glow of the Christmas Tree and seeing if Santa had came. Waking my family up at 5:30am to open presents. The house smells like turkey. Everything is different now, but I hope the memories that Lily has when she gets older will be good ones. Friday: Scott and I exchanged our gifts to each other this afternoon. He is currently in the kitchen with the gun cleaning kit. I am just waiting for a Lifetime special to be made. We went to my Mother's. She spit out the food I brought, but everyone else ate all of it. We ate, played games, shot fireworks, and took family pictures. I don't have the pictures yet of all of us, but I took a couple of everyone. We played Scattergories. Some answers from tonight: Name something you see at a wedding- Masking Tape Name something that is cold: Antelope Name something you grab when walking out the door: Condoms Tomorrow is Christmas!!!! Happy Holidays, y'all! Watching the LSU game, Queso knew that we were watching the wrong team. Day 30: A Sunday spent watching sports, catching up on reading, and again, watching Star Wars. I read a lot, but I read so many books at a time, it takes a while to complete one. I didn't come close to my reading goal. Day 31: So. I go into work Monday. The only thing that I have to say is, and pardon my French, is this is some hee-haw hillbilly kind of bullshit. I open the fridge..... I love my workplace though! My boss was so proud of his deer, he is going to have the head mounted. I made the mistake of asking what was in the trash bag. Yeah....it's the skin. I did NOT take a look. I tried to prank my coworker into opening the freezer, but he was there when it was brought in. Drat. Day 32: I can't take him anywhere. Day 33: I am sure I will do a year-end blog, but 2020, it was not good. Last year my physical health was much worse, but this year was not a good year mentally. I cried too much, I worried too much, I drank too much, I argued too much. But...my family made it through okay. Scott and I are okay. We did not take a financial hurt, we both have worked steadily, and our dog Callie is still with us. We added 2 mean cats to the family. By no means would I want to relive this year, but we made it. Day 34: Two years ago today. She is growing up way too fast. She has me wrapped around her finger. I am pretty sure she just likes me because I buy her stuff, but you know what? I'll take it. Day 35: I leave you this week with some of my favorite meme's. 'Twas a good work week. Next week is Christmas! I hope y'all have a good week!
Day 22: Bailey is 23! The Starshine of all of our lives. Scott and I made a quick trip to Target to where I bought nothing of substance. Day 23: Sunday was a lazy day. I read, napped, watched old Christmas movies and Star Wars. I still have no smell or taste, but I did learn that my tongue reacts to lemon. Day 24: Jack West! Book 6! I waited two years for this, and ordered my copy from New Zealand so I didn't have to wait for the May US release. Day 25: Easy work day. Had possibly the world's greatest cheeseburger for lunch, despite the fact that I could only taste a tiny bit of it. Day 26: Some days I want to come home, change into sweats, grab a book, and get into bed. Today was that day. I may have written before about my love for the story of the missionaries that went to Ecuador in the 1950's and were killed. I read a book in school, Through the Gates of Splendor, and then later the son of one of the missionaries went back and befriended the man who killed his father, and later relocated his family to the jungle, a book and documentary the End of the Spear and Beyond the Gates of Splendor. There is a book recently released about the wife of one of the missionaries, Elisabeth Elliot. I love love any information that I can read about this story. Day 27: I put up a "kind of tree" this year. Day 28: End to a good week. Good drivers, slowly regaining my smell and taste. No cough, no fever. Scott may have scratched his eye in his sleep. Jack Sparrow IS his idol.... Here is to another good week! So, while beginning the blog for Week 3, my laptop decided it had enough. I tried everything to get it back up running, but alas, no.
I broke down and bought a new one. My entire existence was on the last one. Sigh. Not much has happened though, I am still sick, it's cold (yay), and I am currently sucked into a David Koresh/Waco/government conspiracy that I can't dig myself out of. I will post more when I decide whose fault it was. That's all I have for now. Regular blogging will resume. |
