The Week in the Proverbial Nutshell and a Walmart Beotch

I can honestly say that this week was better than the last one.  Although our thoughts and prayers are still with Kiki's family---and will be for some time.


So, here's my week in a

The heat and humidity are still making life miserable around here on a daily basis.  Nevertheless, Tuck and I are still out in the mornings taking our walks.  When we get home Tuck passes out on the floor and I proceed to wring the sweat out of my sopping wet clothes.  Geesh.  And it's ONLY July.  UGH. The really good news is that we have had two storms and they both---sit down for this...are you sitting?--contained RAIN!  That's right!  WE GOT RAIN!!!

DoodleBug and 7+ friends are leaving Wednesday for All Good.  This is a music festival (and camp out) in West Virginia that lasts for 4 days...with no showers.  Boy, are they gonna be ripe when they get back!  I remember when DoodleBug and Birdie went to Bonnaroo for the first time.  I suggested that, since they were tired, that they stop at Mimi's (my mother) house to shower and nap before driving that last hour and a half home.  They agreed.  My thoughts were that I wouldn't have to smell them or clean their clothes!  There were showers available at Bonnaroo but they cost $7.00 each time and my girls are NOT going to pay $7.00 for a shower.

Here's a sample of some of the music they'll hear:  PRIMUS; PRETTY LIGHTS; moe.; UMPHREY'S MCGEE; STS9; JOHN BUTLER TRIO; Dark Star Orchestra; Warren Haynes Band; YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND; KELLER WILLIAMS; rebelution; GALACTIC featuring COREY GLOVER of LIVING COLOUR and COREY HENRY of REBIRTH BRASS BAND; TOOTS AND THE MAYTALS; JJ GREY & MOFRO; KARL DENSON'S TINY UNIVERSE; THE BRIDGE; BIG GIGANTIC; Donna the Buffalo; THE INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS; BEATS ANTIQUE; PAPADOSIO; TOUBAB KREWE; Greensky Bluegrass; That 1 Guy; HOT BUTTERED RUM; Marco Benevento; ZACH DEPUTY; These United States; The Werks; EVERYONE ORCHESTRA; J. Roddy Walston and the Business; GIANT PANDA GUERILLA DUB SQUAD; DANA FUCHS; Lubriphonic; Dangermuffin; ORGONE; The Recipe; All Mighty Senators; Fletcher's Grove; The Rex Jam Hosted by Matt Butler & Everyone Orchestra; FURTHUR featuring PHIL LESH & BOB WEIR...

And here's a video of All Good Music Festival 2010---it's long but just the first minute or two will give you an idea-- Ah, youth--how I miss mine!

I'm pretty sure that the lovelies were born in the wrong decade. 

Moving day for Birdie is getting closer.  I still wish she wasn't going so dang far away!  It takes forever and a day to get to Texas from here.  Luckily, a good friend's son lives only a couple of hours away from where Birdie will be and he will get to her if she needs anything.  It's ONLY two years, right?  Anyone with dry shoulders out there?

And then, this morning at Walmart the beotch of all beotches-  this woman came into the store loaded for bear.  I could tell by the look on her face and the way she was cutting other shoppers off with her cart.  So, when it was MY turn to be cut off, I refused to yield.  Yeah, I don't play that game very well.  Seriously, do NOT provoke me because the chances of me just standing there and taking it like the other shoppers is slim to none! Guess she forgot to check and see whether or not the HEAD beotch was shopping this morning.  

That's it for this week!  Hopefully we'll have some pix from All Good to share next week...or maybe we won't want to see them...

Hope everyone has a fantabulous week ahead!  And remember to smile!  It makes people wonder what you've been up to!
