Those of you that read this blog and my previous one know I call this time of the year “Holidaze”. The next 2 months will be people blowing about the shopping stores, trying to find the perfect gifts, and cooking those wonderful meals for the whole family.
I start my shopping in July, this year I was a little behind but about right on track now. Cooking is reserved for Mom and Julie and G, only to run into the kitchen and nibble, it’s my job to go in there.
I’ve worked on my plans for the café this weekend and have it sorted out, maybe this week I can talk to a contractor or two and see about the permits. Bee is all fired up to serve and sell, why, I don’t know but if she’s happy then I am. Never realized that so many women wanted to do this sort of job in their lives, I talked to Jess last week and she said she always wanted a café as well.
I text and talked to Jacks, waking from his nap! Yes! He was taking a nap! We needed to get his arrival time down and his route due to the fact he always seems to have some sort of a mishap on his trips. He also wanted an idea of what to buy for Christmas, since he has no clue, if it were up to him he would still buy Barbie’s for Lori and no, I don’t know what to get Jess.
Saturday G dropped in the house looking about; I could tell she was trying to see what I might need. I suggested baking pans or some other cooking item, which seemed to please her.
Lori spent Saturday night at the house; she was all excited about being the first to sleep in the guest bedroom. I think she wanted to jump in that bed before Jacks did this weekend. We woke up on Sunday and I made breakfast for the two of us, she wanted to go look for Christmas trees, I don’t care for the real deal one so we opted for the nice clean bug free plastic model. Personally I don’t care to even have a tree up; it’s just me here so we bought a tiny table version to make her happy.
I talked to Jacks this morning he was all happy from his “Great weekend” they cooked American chopped suey, I had no clue what that was and impressed he was cooking something so exotic. Later I found out it was hamburger ground up in spaghetti sauce. Oh he fooled me! Maybe for Christmas he can cook one of these meals for me, also I should add Jacks to the list of people that will cook this turkey day, Mom, Julie, G, Jacks.

Reckless
So yesterday I get this text message from Jacks “Hey, will you check on Jess for me she’s fractured her wrist and is home alone”. Ok sure, why not, it’s rainy here and I have late appointments.
She and I have this tag team affinity between us that we make jabs at one another, makes chatting fun. She fell in school in a puddle of water in the hallway and landed trying to catch herself -- natural reaction. Thus fracturing her wrist, this of course is very painful, so much so she takes pain meds that make her sick! What gets me is she is just like Jackson and runs to a Doc In The Box instead of going to her own doctor and getting the proper medications that may not make her ill. Ok Jess, I’m getting off your case now. Anyway, we had a nice long chat and giggled about my brother for a while then she drifted off to dreamland.
I checked out their project they are working on together -- it’s amazing. The house is one that Jacks drew for his new job, now they are decorating and landscaping. I didn’t know he had it in him. As you walk in the whole house it’s filled with love, time and patience put throughout the whole project. He says it has a lot of work and she says it’s perfect I have no opinion on the subject. Funny, he is very protective of this one, no one can add anything to it without his consent - it angers him and he grouses to me. I like to see him like that about his work, means he's taking pride in it. You can see both of their talents in it, she’s the shopper of the pair and he’s the creator.
The whole day each time we would come to a topic somehow it floated back to Jacks in one form or another. She loves him so. If I tried to knock him in a teasing way she would defend him and scold me for saying so. He of course loves her just as much, thinking of her the whole time he’s away and having to work. His conversations seem to go back to her as well, on things she said, or done or what they plan to do in the future. He busts his ass to be with her and make her happy, this I know because I’ve seen it. Juggling school and work and then coming home to her cant be the easiest task to pull but he does it with a smile.
Why do I call this reckless? Well, the two of them have to be the clumsiest people on the planet. One will get sick or injured as if in a competition, from walking pneumonia and car wrecks, fractured wrists, flu’s, stomach viruses they have shared it all, neither taking the time to take care of them selves properly for the other.
This is my rant for today since my weekend wasn’t really anything to comment on. There is always next weekend!
Thanks Jacks for the song Pink- Glitter In The Air

Look out, I’m sappy today!
Today Bee and I sat and had a nice heart to heart talk -- just because. She’s that type of person that you can sit and talk to about anything. It first starts off with casual chatter and then giggles, and then always turns to serious talk with tears and true feelings that come pouring out. Sitting in the greenhouse drinking a sweet tea, nice easy listening music chirping about, letting every emotion hit us, oblivious of the world around us, we are deep in conversation.
Good friends like that are hard to find, you don’t have to hold back on anything or worry later what you might have said. I wont have to dread about it coming back to bite me in the ass, she keeps things herself as I do her side of the conversation.
“Have you ever wished for an endless night?” those lines keep running in my head over and over. To me it means experiencing life with a wild twist and open point of view. It’s not like that I’m conservative in the way my life is lead but to know about thinking of taking other turns to make a different out come, I guess this is the bed I chose to sleep in. Not that I’m unhappy with it – don’t you ever have a George Bailey moment?
Bee is a different type of friend, not only that she’s a female friend, she’s sensitive to my feelings, be it about my Pops or work or some idiotic customer. She never compares herself to anyone else or brings the conversation back to how she feels. Always listening with an open heart and mind, eager to give and opinion if needed and an uncanny way of knowing just when a good time to have a long sit down chat. I have to say she knows me more than any of my other friends. It’s an appreciation for her insights on life and giving examples with her experiences along the way. It’s a breath of fresh air to have a semi adult conversation without someone interrupting you or wanting to be silly.
On the flip side of the card I try and do the same for her, listening to her stories about the guys in her life. How she misses being home with her family, where she sees herself in 5 years – that makes me snicker at times. She’s independent, a non whiner, drama free and set in her ways. She has a back bone and will tell you like it is in a minute, I can come to her and say something and she tells me flat out that I’m being silly.
I guess this is my “Thank you” for being there for me in the ADHD times and putting me in my place when it was needed. Telling its always best to stick to my guns and backing me up when I need it.
Oh yeah, Happy semi Birthday you!

OMG the sky is falling!
Jacks didn’t make a new dinner on Sunday! He couldn’t call me and brag about the great meal he had and the fun he had making it with Jess… I’m kidding, they were both too busy to cook this weekend.
On another note Mr. I hope you find the right truck in your shopping adventures. Just remember the rule of never buying a 1st edition on anything, let everyone else work out the kinks. I hope you are feeling better after the mishap, I swear between you and Jess I could start another blog on your antics.
I can’t wait to hear what he comes up with… Jess keep the reigns on him pulled tight.
I will go more into detail on this next week… ah Mark another cliff hanger!

Goofs and mishaps
Have you ever had one of those “insert foot in mouth” moments? I have for the last few days or have been witness to them. My hat goes off to….
The dingbat that hangs out with us -- I’m sure everyone has heard about the Freshman 10 but now it’s been adjusted to the Freshman 20, I guess this day and age Americans seem to be getting larger every year. That’s the set up, now the story – Last weekend I wanted to go out and have a nice dinner, play a few rounds of darts and pool and chill a bit. “Its all good” until you bring along some of the girls and they start off with the fat-chat and what not. Then you have some idiot guy that asks “when’s the baby due?” to one of the girls who isn’t fat, she’s just not stick thin. That’s when all hell broke loose and the girls were all against the guys. – I pity the fool.
To the waiter who needs to keep his yap shut. One of the ladies in my office who isn’t under the age of 30 went out with a few of the girls who are. “Will you be paying for this or your Mom?” Nice move there Sherlock and get a clue, if you don’t know what there status is don’t pretend to know. Sorry for your tip or lack there of, bud.
I made a major mistake today talking to a friend of mine and clearly didn’t think. She was hanging out in the hospital during the same time I was recovering from my dehydration days. Her mom was sick and she spent many nights there with her, which was the last time I saw her since today. She made the comment on how improved I was since our last talk and of course I had to ask her about her mom. She didn’t make it, I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me, of course this was nearly two years ago but I still felt bad bringing back bad memories for her.
We all goof or say things that come out wrong, maybe sound rude to the receiver, a lot of times it’s laid out in text where we don’t hear that sly snicker or the heart felt tones. I’m learning to roll with the punches and watch where I sling my words, “times, they be a hard one!”

Leaves are falling!
It’s getting that nice crisp feeling in the air now, this morning I woke to a slight rain and leaves on the ground. I used to get out on the weekends to go leaf peeking, up in the mountains; it's beautiful to ride your bike up or down and the colors of leaves swirling all around you.
I may bug Chris into taking a ride tomorrow. There’s nothing better than to go the night before and enjoy yourself then get up in the morning slap on a helmet and ride with the cool air in your face to drive out to eat a hearty breakfast of pancakes bacon egg and toast.
I visited Trace and Michelle finally after their honeymoon; I’ve been so busy that now was the time for me to endure the “room of love”. They looked happy or course, Trace was plonking on his guitar and Michelle in the kitchen making something that smelled out of this world awesome. Then forced to sit and look at the wedding videos and their trip to the islands (No, I didn’t get to see the gross stuff). Trace still had that “head resting on his palm with gooney eyes” just staring at her.
I want that, the perfect Cleaver family episodes every day. To come home and smell dinner cooking, have a meal then snuggle up on the couch and watch a little TV then off to bed. Someone to share washing the pots and pans with, and sorting the whites from the colors in the laundry, waking up with a sweetheart next to me every day. Not only missing them as I get ready for work but thinking about them as I am at work and eager to get home to them to discuss how their day was. Long snuggle weekends of doing nothing together of sharing the Sunday paper in PJs and long slow walks if we chose to do so.
I know my day is coming for all that and more and for one good thing, I’m in no hurry to have it. I think the anticipation of wanting it and then dreaming about it is more exciting.
I may bug Chris into taking a ride tomorrow. There’s nothing better than to go the night before and enjoy yourself then get up in the morning slap on a helmet and ride with the cool air in your face to drive out to eat a hearty breakfast of pancakes bacon egg and toast.
I visited Trace and Michelle finally after their honeymoon; I’ve been so busy that now was the time for me to endure the “room of love”. They looked happy or course, Trace was plonking on his guitar and Michelle in the kitchen making something that smelled out of this world awesome. Then forced to sit and look at the wedding videos and their trip to the islands (No, I didn’t get to see the gross stuff). Trace still had that “head resting on his palm with gooney eyes” just staring at her.

Breaks...
We all need them, they rejuvenate the mind and soul, sometimes it’s just a break from school or work or even God forbid the internet, or that certain someone in your life.
My breaks have been from school and some whacked out people I know, not so much work because of the cooling weather it’s easing up now. Although the café is screaming to be worked on and my house isn’t fully furnished yet.
I had things to tend to this weekend i.e. Halloween and my birthday. Friday was fun; I of course sent the entire office ladies home so they may get the little guys ready to Trick or Treat. Signed online and talked to my buddy for a few minutes, she appeared to be extra busy and I was ready to hit the road on my journey of fun so I bolted on her early.
Lori and Julie wanted to go to the farm for the church Trick or Treat function and then spend the night after. Somehow I agreed to tag along with them and Mom and G for a part of the night. Last year it was at church and since it was such a success they wanted a bigger area so they chose a huge barn to have it. In there, they had a huge grain bin of corn the kids could hop around in and play, naturally my goofy sister decided that a full coverage of the corn would be fun until she found out the corn can and will get in her ears! I left after that excitement to meet the guys for some hot wings.
Luke sent me a cute picture of the “Monkey” Kyle sitting on a table, he didn’t look too happy up there. Camen was posed as some little princess all interested in her wand. I got a chuckle from them.
Saturday, woke to birds singing; I’ve not listened to or possibly noticed those sounds in a good while. The sky was crisp and clear and everything was quiet, minus the birds’ chirping. Enjoying the solitude and made a huge birthday breakfast, talked on the phone with Luke and the family and Jacks. After a long shower Amy called to give her wishes, and then ran out to have lunch with my girls.
That night was pure kayos and wildness, something that wasn’t expected, that’s what I get for having Chris back home. I was set for a night of Hooters, shooters, wings and beer and a side order of pool and darts. Chris had other ideas of spending the whole evening on the bar strip of Savannah.
Sunday came and I slept most the day away, that’s where plans were made for Jacks to do the mural and the café and when to start school again, now is time for a good break.
