Bonfire....No Fire


Mr. J and I attended a bonfire this past weekend....there was only one problem there was no fire. When we arrived at the event, we could see the fire from the road. Boy, were we glad to see people since we were out in the middle of no where in the dark. The fire roared on for about 30 minutes after we arrived, but slowly faded. The host tried to add lighter fluid and even gasoline to make it stay, but the fire wanted to go away. Note to self....when planning to invite people over for a bonfire you might want to put the wood in the garage or at least cover it so that it does not get wet if it rains. This would be what the host of this bonfire did not do. So I allowed Mr. J to socialize with his friends as I sat wrapped up in a blanket as listened to a group of women singing Michael Jackson songs. I must say they were great for a laugh. After about 45 more minutes, I gave up and asked Mr. J if we could leave since I was cold and getting tired of playing Pac Man on my cell phone. He agreed. When we left, I thought that we would be going straight home....no Mr. J decides that he wants to go and get some Gatorade on sale at Meijer at 1:00 am. What a way to spend a Saturday night. It was not a total bust, I got dinner at Red Lobster.

I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Wife +Sick Hubby =Medical Degree

I posted  last week about my husband being sick. Even though he is feeling better, he went to his doctor to make sure everything was OK. His doctor in-turn referred him to a specialist, to make sure as well. When I asked him what was the specialist going to do, he said " I do not know. Probably just check me out."  That did not sit well with me, so I decided that I needed to attend the appointment with him. We attended the appointment. He signed in at the front desk and the receptionist asked for the paperwork sent. He of course looked at me......especially since I was the one who fill out the paperwork. I am not sure why I filled out his paperwork, probably because he asked me to, but I never have him fill out my medical paperwork. I digress. We were escorted back to the exam room. The nurse was really nice. As she began to ask for some of the medical information, I found myself answering more of the questions than he was. Maybe I should have been quiet. The doctor eventua...
