T-F-S

Can't remember what we did Thursday...stayed home I think.

Friday...Pep Rally then to the game at Prestonwood. They are back to back State Champions are were playing on a mission. They lost one of their coaches on August 1st. He colapsed at a 2 a day practice and later died. A dedication was held before the game, with his family on the field. Very touching. Then the game began...back and forth on scoring in the beginning. We went into half time behind. This rarely happens! With under 7 minutes to go we were down 33-21, only to come back and win it 34-33. It was exciting. Colby got a holding penalty in the 2nd quarter, which brought back a touchdown....so he stayed on the sidelines the rest of the game, looking very down I might add. His pal Jamarick had 277 rushing yards!!! It was his 40 yard run that was called back, so he would have been over 300. His name is pronounced Ja-Mark but the announcer kept saying Ja Ma Rick, which is what Danny has called him since pee wee football. Had no voice yesterday, due to all the screaming I did in the 4th quarter. Can I just say I LOVE Celina football!!!

Saturday...up and out early for a Dallas paper. Had to read all the scores and highlights. Back to bed at 10am and back up at a little after noon. When I went to bed, everyone was home. At noon everyone was gone. So....I went to Sonic for a drink and then road around looking at the 5 houses for rent in Celina. Not impressed..... Got a call from our realtor, house is showing between 7 and 8 pm this afternoon. Maybe, just maybe....

Went to bingo with Sharon last night....I tell you, we have more fun together! First we met at Jason's Deli for dinner then blasted off to Bingo. Third game I FINALLY got to yell BINGO!!! $500.00 pot...no split. Next game I was set needing 24 to Bingo again it comes up on the monitor, but some man behind me yells Bingo on the prior number. So....I was one number from $750.00. Two guys joined us at our table, and to say the least, they were comical. One with his pink dauber and the other a blue one....then, a couple joins them. The guy was a nice looking Hispanic man and his wife a pretty white girl, with GIANT boobs that were more out of her shirt than in. Sharon and I laughed so hard at everyone around us commenting and staring. We just might had to start a "People of East Plano Bingo" blog, like the one out there with photos of people in Walmart. Speaking of...she saw a man in WM yesterday with tight shorts, shirt and his thong underwear were sticky out of the back....good thing we were not together for this sighting!

As I sit outside at this moment, there is a cool breeze, gun shots in the background (dove hunters) and it's beautiful outside! This must be the "cool front" that was to come in....need rain too.

Off to clean house...pray they love it this afternoon!

M-T-W

Not much going on around here. Started walking each night, on the track, after dark. 2 miles a night so far. Ankle loosens up after about 2 laps and then it is fine. Barely a limp.

Found a long lost cousin in the past couple of days. Just emailed a short version of the Luckett family to him. Will see if he replies back. Also gave him our blog address and Carla's. If your reading this, I hope you enjoy.

Take care all, off to mow....

Another weekend recap...

Friday night lights were great last week! Carla and Paul got to watch Colby make his Senior Year Debute...he played almost the entire game. Won 49-6...hope they keep this up!

I slept almost all day Saturday...sorry Carla, I think the work week and quick trip to Vegas kicked my butt! Saturday night was bingo with Sharon...one of these nights I AM going to WIN something...I can just feel it. Carla, thanks again for my plaque...love it!

Today Danny and I got up and went to Starbucks...then breakfast and back home. Thank you Mom and Dad for coming up to wish me a happy birthday...was great to see you!

Chelsey and I went up to the track this afternoon...she ran and I walked/jogged, 2 miles. Considering it was 104 degrees, we thought that was far enough. Then back home to watch a little tv.

At this moment, everyone is in bed. Danny and I are on vacation this week....should be fun. I plan to renew my drivers license tomorrow, walk the track and have cookies ready for the kids when they get him from school. Oh, and I will turn 46 too. Ugh...

Off to bed, night night and love to all!

Vegas...hand in hand.

Made it there and back safe and sound. Black boot and all. Security swabbed it for explosives...all clear in Dallas and in Vegas. Not much to write about except.....

As I sat waiting for our plane to start boarding I saw a handsome guy walk up near our gate with a big bouquet of flowers. He had no ticket. No bag. Just flowers. I am thinking what the heck. They do not allow anyone in the airport without a ticket, so what's this guy doing. He's watching as a plane unloads and people walk out. He looks very excited. I can't take my eyes off of him...knowing I was about to witness something, just wasn't sure what. Lots of people get off the plane. He stands and waits, and waits, and waits. I begin to think whomever it is may have missed their plane. Then I see him smile from ear to ear and start walking toward the gate. A tall, beautiful brunette walks out and he grabs her in a hug and kisses her. She is all smiles and so is he. She...was wearing fatigues...and had a backpack. He stepped back and pulled a box from his pocket. I see a flash of his wedding band....he pulls hers from the box and he places it on her empty left hand. By this time I had tears streaming...he hugs her again and she smiles really big. They walk off hand in hand. Not sure I will ever forget this. You think about the men over fighting for our country....but I forget their are women too. Well...I knew, just didn't think about them leaving a husband behind to do it. I hope they had a nice evening, hand in hand. Such a beautiful sight. I was frozen watching...wish I had snapped a photo, just to remember that tender moment.

Off to clean....company coming tomorrow night.

First day...

First day of school was a success! Chelsey goes in at 7:20am and gets out at 12:30. Colby goes in at 10:30 and gets out at 2something. Chelsey said she was going to find a job...so she wouldn't be bored. LOL. I may never get a morning of Colby!

Only complaint was from Chelsey (of course....). She has one class with all freshman....it was the only elective that would still get her out by lunch. I told her to just be the adult and help all the little ones along this year!

Off to work. Have a great day all.

Miss Chelsey - First Day - Senior Year!

Weekend recap

First of all let me say WHAT was I thinking when Chelsey and I headed out shopping Saturday? We got to the Frisco Mall early...not crowded, close parking space, not the zoo I expected...and then....Colby calls us from Allen Outlet Mall to come pay for the things he had found. So....we fight our way into the parking lot, find a spot, go into Casual XL Male, sack up and pay for his items and walk to a few more stores. Then we head to the car, which has 32 miles until empty and it takes almost an hour to get out of the parking lot. Windows down to conserve gas, Chelsey HOT, me HOT, cars everywhere trying to get out just like we were. And Colby right behind us in his truck...GOOD GRIEF what a mess....never again. Never ever ever again will I go there. They could be giving away free stuff and I'll pass.

Then...Cheksey and I head BACK to Frisco, to Champs, where we buy Colby's college logo t-shirts all the time. Little more crowded this time. We get in and out of there fairly quickly and then go to The Foundry, Big and Tall Shop. We walk in and a guy says "how about a cold soda or beer?". I chuckle and keep walking....funny thing is he was serious...they had beer on tap. Tempting as it was, I passed. Chelsey had a field day in this store. She found a size 70 belt....she held the buckle above her head and stood on the end with holes. I was ready to run away from her. Then she buckled it and tried to holah hoop...then she found a size 70 pair of shorts and could wrap them all the way around her own waist. Then she found a t-shirt that said "everyone loved my Weinie" and it had a picture of a wiener dog on it. She was having WAY too much fun....trying on giant shoes too. I should have just had a beer and let her play...we laughed so hard!

Today we go do mani pedi's in Frisco.....a lady walks in talking about this horrible 5-6 year old gettingbhis hair cut next door. She said he jumped out of the chair screaming you ruined my hair and I am NOT going to school like this....the lady said he ran and slammed his body into the front door. Well....I needed a trim, so over I go. He was easy to spot. Red face. Obviously pissed. Arms crossed and one of the ladies was still cutting his hair. He was a MESS. His mom was very calm. His dad too. Even his sister seemed unfazed. I'd have busted his ars....little shit was really making a scene. The same lady cut my hair afterward. She must have been on meds, because she seemed unfazed as well.

Ohhhhhh....almost forgot Saturday, while we were in Forever 21 we saw a guy in a short shirt (as in belly hanging out) and ladies cheetah print tights. Chelsey said MOM you can see his......I bolted at that point. We didn't need anything from that store anyway.

Tomorrow the kids start their Last first day of High School...can hardly believe it is here already. Chelsey has 7:20am dual credit class and Colby goes in at 9 something.....maybe he will not be tardy as much this way. Stay tuned, this is going to be an adventure getting TWO to May 31st Graduation. On the bright side, tomorrow night will ne the last time I have to fill out "packets" for them to return back to the school. Seems like they get thicker every year....

I leave for Vegas Tuesday morning at 7:20am and land back at DFW at 11:15pm that night. Quick trip for a meeting...Should be fun with my giant black boot....security here I come!

Love to all,
PK
