I Must Be Getting Cranky...
…because I think the top twelve guys singing the Bee Gees medley just made Robin Gibb cover his ears.
The Marriage Proposal On American Idol...
…complete with a plug for David Webb jewelry, made me vomit.
Then puke.
Then throw up.
Then blow chunks.
It was the most plastic proposal I’ve ever had the horror of witnessing.

It's Drizzling A Little...
…so we’re postponing our trip to the drive-in until tomorrow.
Bummer.

Thanks, Everyone!
Avengers it is!

Help Us Out, Please!
Annie and I are going to the drive-in, tonight.
We’re going to open the tailgate and lay on the bed— propped up on our elbows.
We have our choice of “Dark Shadows,” “Avengers,” “Battleship.”
Please help us choose!

Q: Why did Facebook go public?
A: Because THEY couldn’t figure out their privacy settings, either.
A little gallows humor on Wall Street as they lick their wounds after a disastrous IPO that caused investors to LOSE 11%, right out of the gate— rather than the more typical GAIN of 15%.
Investors are complaining that the company was way overvalued. Consequently, it’s expected that a great deal of pressure...

Janam din ki badhai, Sharon!
Today is my best friend’s birthday!
I sure do wish I could be there to spend it with you.
I’ll be back in a few weeks and we’ll have a belated celebration for you.
I love you, grrl!

There are so many interesting things to see at the Grand Canyon Visitor’s Center, today!
Here I am looking at sun spots on a telescope fitted with a large display:
This is what I was looking at:
Next we looked at rocks that came from other celestial bodies:
The yellow arrows point to moon rock, the blue points to a rock sample from Mars and the pink points to a piece of a...
Sometimes I Feel Like Forrest Gump
It seems like I just fall into things and end up at the right place, at the right time, through no planning or foresight of my own.
This has happened many, many times in my life and today is yet another example.
There’s going to be an annular solar eclipse, late this afternoon.
There is a band around part of the earth where it can be viewed in its completeness.
The Grand Canyon is...
I Woke Up, Startled...
…because someone was walking around the rear of our van— just a few feet away, with only a screen door separating us.
I pressed the lock button on the van key so that it would flash the lights, once, and beep for a split second— but the footsteps continued.
I could tell that our visitor weighed quite a lot and was incapable of stepping quietly.
So I grabbed a flashlight,...

A Champagne Induced TMI Post
Warning: you should skip this post, I don’t care who you are.
You have been warned.
Years of estrogen use has made “peeing, standing up” all but a faint memory, for me.
It’s been all about “hovering” and “squatting” for quite a few years, now.
When we arrived at the campground we discovered that “vault toilets” is a euphemism for...

You're Welcome, Texas
If you’re wondering where all the bugs went— I took them with me.
On the front of my car.
Y’all owe me.

Dry Shampoo: Making Van Dwelling Swamp Women Look...
Twenty minutes in an Oklahoma rest area has Annie and me looking civilized, once again.
On a more serious note, I have to say that Arkansas is a beautiful state— and I could tell that just from the interstate.
And their rest areas are not only sprawling, lush and green, but overnight camping is also permitted in self contained vehicles (no tents).
We thoroughly enjoyed the 9 hours we...
It Turns Out That, In Arkansas, Swamp Women Are...
Two guys in a pickup truck just rolled down their window and waved to Annie and me.
You’ll understand just how funny that is when I post my SST pic in a minute.
I could scare small children in the dark.
“Mommy, mommy I just saw a monster and I think it came from the swamp!”

There's No Denying It-- I Now Look Like Someone...
When I walked into Starbucks, in Conway, AR, the woman at the register looked scared.
When I went in the restroom and looked in the mirror— I was scared, too.
Someone needs to spray me down with a fire hose so I can start fresh.

I Only Expected To Get About Two Hearts On That...
What the heck is everyone still doing up?
Brush your teeth, floss, and go to bed.
Don’t make me come up there…
