Random Tuesday....On your mark.....!

Get set......GO!   It is that time again and I am feeling random this morning for sure.  It is 4AM!  Do you know where my coffee is? 

Had to throw this in!  Another gorgeous sunrise in New Mexico...

I know!  You can all come and visit.  We will have a Blogfest!!!  Music...beer...tents...port-a-potties!  Doesn't that sound like a blast!?  Actually, it kind of does!  I will provide the yard!

As you know, I walk 4 miles or more every day...EARLY (6AM)!  Besides my friend, Cheri, I have one constant visitor on these walks.  Here he is..

Some kind of beetle that is always crossing the roads I walk on.  I call him the Butt Beetle!  When you get near them...they stick their butts' up in the air and spray some sort of chemical at you.  Good thing they are so small.  They get up to about one inch and a half.  If they were the size of a dog...OMG!  Just saying...!!!

Working on re-financing our home.  Just got our appraisal back and it was a shock.  It was $21,000.00 lower than six years ago!!!  Yep!  The economy is sure recovering!  Ha!!  This sucks, big time!  This kind of messes up our loan as to what monies we can get out.  Damn!! (sorry)  But it sucks!!

Dr. John still hasn't gotten his promotion....I'm just saying!!!

When my grandson visits, he always brings along his Penguins!  They are characters from the online community of Penguin Island (for kids).  Anyway, he loves to set up still life's and take pictures as well as make movies.  Here is his companions enjoying lunch.....

Well it is random!!

My granddaughter, Cassie...

Is moving into her dorm on August 17th!  Unbelievable!  It was only yesterday she was playing dress-up in my living room!  Now, all grown up and starting a life of her own.  She is so excited and we will be helping her move in.  By help, I mean take them out to dinner when they are done.  Ha!!  We are the grandparents after all!

I had to break down and order a couple pair of jeans and some tops!!!  Woohoo!!  I couldn't take my jeans in anymore.  They were starting to look funny.  Anywho!  I started out with a 6X in clothing.  Now I am in a size 20!!  Soon I will be in the teens and then, hopefully, the single digits.  It is so nice to see size LARGE on my tags instead of 6X!!  Yes folks, I was HUGE!!

My granddaughter, Emma..

Goofing off here!  She is getting a root canal done on the 12th!  Poor baby!  She has a tooth in front that actually folds over...IN HALF!!  Anyway, it has finally gone bad and a root canal first...don't know why!  They should just pull it and give her an implant.  Doesn't make sense to me.  Unless you consider that it is double the money for the dentist!  Ahhhh!  Now it makes sense!  Seriously....!

I have been hearing a lot of people complaining about the weather.  "It is too hot!"  Hmmm!  Let us not forget last winter...which lasted here until June 1st!!!

Snow and ice all winter long!  Cold, cold temperatures.  I just couldn't get warm!!  Well, I remember and I am loving the heat.  Sheesh!  It is August already...soon winter will be blowing in and we start freezing all over again.  Bah Hum Bug!!!

Made Tilapia last night with a butter cream sauce and baby sweet peas.  It looked and smelled so good.  I went to start eating and I couldn't get the second bite down.  It, the peas, got stuck and I waited...and waited...and waited...to no avail.  Would not budge!  This is one of the perks of gastric bypass!!  You have a small pouch and stomach opening and sometimes food will get stuck...well that is what it feels like.  And your only recourse is to get rid of it.  I won't go into details  (ewwwwwwwwwwwww) but you get the drift.  Dr. John said the fish was excellent!  Sucker!!!  I had orange sherbet later!  It was tasty too!

Have you seen the Viagra ads?  I mean...seriously!!!  What is up with that?  A couple gets all starry-eyed and the scene morfs into some kind of dreamy garden setting!  Ha!  Then at the end, they are both sitting in white porcelain footed tubs in the middle of nowhere???  WTH??

Please remember to go visit Keely at The Un Mom!!  She always has excellent Randomness and others do as well!  She is the Queen of Random!!

That is it for me...you have a magical and blessed day!  Remember the drawing for the Diane Duda original painting is on August 4th!!  Go and leave your name and comment HERE!!  Time is a wasting...get over there and do it!!

Hugging you
