Oh Dear....We Done Did It Again

Yesterday, was election day.  Lucky for you, this post isn't about that.  My partner in crime  cwauson, April, was in town over the weekend to attend a funeral.  We all know what that means.  Keep your kids inside, because we are out and about.

First of all, I had an early morning doctors appointment.  Early as in 7:40 am.  I know right. How many of your doctors are in that early?  I invited April to go with me since, my doctor rocks, and it would give us more time together.  (method to my madness)

It's a good thing she was with me.  After Mary, the coolest nurse ever, took my blood pressure, she told me to sign this paper, and she would be back to SHOOT ME.  What the?  I turned to April and asked if she just heard my life threatened.   I wanted a picture of the villain, but she wouldn't let me take a picture with her face.  She must be related to me or something.  Oh well, I have the hands.  The horrible, mean hands that held the weapon. 
Ok, she was just going to give me my flu shot, but that didn't sound as cool

After the fun and exciting quarterly appointment, we sped on over to the restaurant that my sister Kathy works at.  We were going to meet Amber, coolest cutter of hair ever, (I hang out with a bunch of cool people, get over it), for breakfast.
From left to right, Sister Kathy, (no, she's not a nun, ummm, nevermind), next to her is Amber.  Across from her is Dazee, with her gratuitous cleavage shot, you're welcome, and then April.   My sister is so nice.  She is an assistant manager, so she takes people's money.  A lot of her customers adore her.  At the table behind April and I was one such customer.  Since he can never do anything for my sister, he bought our breakfast.  Can you believe it.  What a freaking nice guy.  

After breakfast, April and I went on our pilgrimage to Pier One.  Oh we love that place.   Every time we are together we get us a new coffee cup.  Amber is part of our "sassy group", so we picked one up for her too.  These are the ones we got this time around.  
I know, you are shocked, a cup with a purple butterfly on it.  squeeeee

Here is one of the cute aprons they are selling there right now.  Love
Don't worry.  On another post will be all the cool salt and pepper shakers and other neat things we found this time around.  

We stopped in to give Amber her cup, and afterwards, we stopped to get us a Carmel Frappe, and took it to Beyond Glaze, the awesome gourmet doughnut shop, and had a little treat.  On the left is her peanut butter chocolate donut, and mine is the carmel apple.   Num-O-La

And as always, we had to do our favorite scene from the movie Bridesmaids, "I don't need dental work", "you are so beautiful", "will you marry me". 
 Bwwaaa-haaa-haaaa
She's such a sport

Now, for your viewing pleasure, we made another video.  A big shout out to Amber, for doing the camera work.

And The Answers Are.................

Oh My Gosh, look at how young Betty White was once upon a time.  She was so excited when I asked her to sing a little ditty for my post today.  She was beyond herself with excitement.  But, at one point in the song she calls me FREE AND EASY.  What the?  I am neither free or easy.  Just ask my friends.

Let take these true and false questions that you all, ok, some of you brave souls guessed and I will answer them one by one.

My Favorite Soda Is Pepsi
5 of you said True
5 of you said False
The answer is
FALSE

I will drink pepsi IF it is the only thing the restaurant serves, but not without moaning about it to them.  My favorite drink is......drum roll please
And yes, I have emailed MickeyDee's about them needing to have it as one of their options of drink, because, well, I'm cool like that.

I Just Got A New Tattoo
6 of you said true
2 of you said false
The answer is
TRUE

I had baby G's butterfly added to my grandchildren garden.  I also had Amanda, my cool and awesome artist, add my grandkids initials because they are always asking me "which one is me again grammie".  I love those kids

I Am Afraid Of Heights
4 of you said true
1 of you said false
The answer is
TRUE

I am extremely afraid of heights, but not if there is a safety cage or something.  My heart starts pounding and I hyperventilate.  Now, I can fly in planes, no problem, I'm enclosed.  Stand me on the edge of the Grand Canyon, have the paramedics on standby

TIME OUT:  Were some of you afraid to guess some of these.  I only ask because of the how many answered each individual question.  Moving on.

I Once Had The Police Looking For Me
5 of you said true
0 of you said false
The answer is
TRUE

I was in a baton twirling group as a kid.  We would march in parades in the summertime.  I never got told where my parents were going to pick me up one time, so I ended up lost.  I wrote about it a long time ago, which you can read here.  Scary times. 

I Am Extremely Quiet
2 of you said true
4 of you said false
The answer is
FALSE

Bwaaa-haaaa-haaaaa.  I am so the opposite of quiet.  If it is too quiet in a room, I will start joking around, because I can't stand it.  Or, I'm afraid that they are sitting there thinking I'm a dork and I have to do something.  I can be very quiet if I want to prove a point, of which my 11th grade math teacher found out.  Oh yeah, good times.

I've Never Been On A Train
3 of you said true
3 of you said false
The answer is
FALSE

I went to Elementary School in Colorado Springs.  We had some cool field trips.  But when you got to the 6th grade, oh boy.  The BEST EVER FIELD TRIPS were that year.  You looked forward to being in 6th grade just for that.  One time we went to the US Mint in Denver.  I will never ever forget that.  But the field trip that was by far the best, we got to ride a REAL LIVE TRAIN from Colorado Springs to Pueblo.   I would love to take another trip someday on a train.  Maybe through wine country in California.

There you go.  All in all, you did good.  I'm a little bit sad that I didn't have very many people play along.  But then, someday, when I'm extremely rich and famous, those of you that did answer will be able to say, 
I knew her when.....

What The Frack .....True or False

Holy Canoly.  You know the picture I posted yesterday as My Choice.  Here it is

Mr Dazee, lover of all monster movies in the 60's, said to my while eating breakfast, "you know that tree you posted on your blog?  Its not a tree at all, it's Godzilla"
OH, MY, GOSH!!!!  I can totally see it.  And look, there are power lines in this photo too.  Coincidence?   I think not.  Hide the kids.

I have this friend, Judy at Running Toward The Light Without Spilling My Drink, that ran a true or false questionnaire on her blog.  Of course, she had to run it on a day that I wasn't home and therefore didn't get a chance to win the prize.  Oh wait, I was not allowed to win the prize.  Something to do with I already knew the answers.   I thought it was an awesome idea, so you get to answer true and false questions about me.  I know, you can hardly wait.  You think you know me?  We shall see.  Oh, and just so you know, NO PRIZES WILL BE GIVEN AWAY.  I'm jobless peeps.

Tune in next time to find out how you did.  Oh, and don't do anything I wouldn't do. :)

I Spy - Halloween

Photobucket
Guess what I dressed up as to hand out Halloween Candy?  Come on, guess.......Nope........you'll never guess.......

BRALESS LADY.....hahahahaha

If they weren't scared of goblins before, they are now.  

Now, I know you all did something or other for Halloween.  I want pictures.  Got it!!!!!  Do a post and link on up.  Your Choice can be anything you want.  Even if it's just more Halloween pictures.  (except for Joey, because he's being all "I don't do Halloween)  I'm thinking he would do an awesome costume, but hey, that's just me.

HALLOWEEN

What better way for me to show of the grandkids than in their costumes.  I know, I'm that kind of grammie.
Miss L, Gypsy
Mr C, ummmm, yeah
Miss O, Garden Witch
Miss A, Snow White in her cowboy boots
Mr. G, Skelator
MY CHOICE

I saw this tree one day in my travels.  Finally I was back in the area and stopped to take a picture.  I thought it was appropriate for Halloween.  It is kind of spooky looking the way they've cut it away from the power lines.
OK, your turn.  Show us what ya got.
