this weekend

I’m making lasagna tonight. Jealous? 4 cheese and spinach. My mouth is already watering…

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the lake with the boys–tooling around in the party barge for the afternoon. I can’t wait.

Sunday I’ll be doing yard work. Hopefully it won’t be 1 million billion trillion degrees outside. Unfortunately I’ve been putting off mowing the backyard…and now it’s a jungle out there. Anyone have a bush hog I can borrow?

You guys got plans this weekend?

a sunflowery surprise

Yesterday I drove to Helena, AR to pick up my kids. Actually, we met in Lula, MS at the casino. Too bad I didn’t get there early enough to get my poker face on…

Anyway, this is what I saw on the drive over:



This was a really nice bonus to the drive, don’t you think?

week be gone!

Me and the girls will be at the lake. There will be very few pictures, because we don’t want to incriminate ourselves.

No evidence is really the only way to go.

If you’re out on Ouachita this weekend, look for a party barge full of hot babes. Bunko Babes, that is.

Went back to the lake yesterday. Ahhhhhh. Don’t I look content? I’m telling you, Vitamin D is my favorite vitamin on earth.

I practiced driving the party barge…driving really isn’t an issue–it’s the parking it in the dock that I kinda suck at. It’s gonna be pretty interesting in a couple of weeks when I’m hosting my Bunko group at the lake. Those pics should be fun. Or not.

Tonight is trivia night. If I go, I’m gonna be late. I’m not sure I’ll know how to handle missing trivia…so I guess I better make sure I get there, huh?

Now, let’s talk BACHELORETTE:

First of all, CRAIG M. is the biggest douche known to man and I’m glad he’s gone. I think the Weatherman was right on: Craig M. is psycho. Glad Ali dumped him on his big-haired ass.

Justin bugs me. He seems sweet, but I’m telling you, something isn’t right with that boy. Mark my words, the wrassler isn’t an honest man.

Frank is so damn cute. I wanna eat him up with a spoon. Same with Roberto. Yummy. He can hit a homerun with me anytime.

Jesse is HOT. That body and those tats had me MELting everywhere. And I really like Ty. Alot. I have a feeling he’s gonna go a long way. If I were to pick the top 4, it would be Frank, Roberto, Jesse, and Ty. BUT, of that group, Jesse is the one who is least likely to go.

I truly think Roberto will go to the final 2. Not sure who the other one will be…maybe Ty (because wow he’s charming) or Frank (because he makes me laugh. I heart him…)

Are you watching? What do you think?

Vitamin D

So we spent yesterday at the lake with the fam. It was a great day. My brother played Captain and I played Goddess and the kids just played. I always feel amazing after a good dose of Vitamin D!

Here’s a pic that sums up the day pretty well.
No we’re not having any fun at all, are we?

Of course, being on the lake just makes me long for some beach time. It wasn’t far from this time last year that I was frolicking in the sand and surf, soaking up all the Vitamin D I could. I’m so ready to do that again. Maybe I can squeeze some time in this summer…if the oil doesn’t manage to ruin it for everyone.

Dear BP,
You suck.
Love,
Melf

If I could be anywhere right now, it would be the Florida Keys. I’m actually thinking about going this year for Christmas because I’ve never been. Who wants to join me? This place looks nice

summertime

Summer is hands down my favorite season. People tend to complain about the heat and humidity, and yes, sometimes even I get a little too hot (heh, as if being too hot is a real problem) but the fact is, I love summer.

As a little girl, my daddy would take me camping for 2 weeks at a time. I remember pitching the tent, building fires, losing my fishing poles in the lake. (was devastated the year I lost my Snoopy rod. I mean, it was MY SNOOPY ROD AND REEL FOR CRISPIES’ SAKE!)

I still love to camp, but I prefer to do it in the fall months. Even if the heat and humidity doesn’t melt me, the inside of a tent tends to bake me somewhat. I’m too old for that now.

My parents have a place on Lake Ouachita and we go quite often. We’re all about drifting on the pontoon boat, partaking in a few beverages, soaking up the vitamin d and just enjoying the day. The video below is exactly what I love about summer. This is what we do…minus the girls on the stripper pole. Not that I’m opposed to girls on stripper poles…it’s just not something my 15 year old son is quite ready for!

What is your fave season? And what is the one thing you love most about summer?
