Grandsons 2nd bday!

All About Me?

So we had to write a bio for the new band website that our fearless leader has been working on so diligently. I have written them before. Especially recently while starting this blog and the little ones you do for Pinterest etc. It really is awkward to write about yourself. I feel like I am trying to sell myself or I am signing up for those online dating sites. 

I like long walks on the beach.............(Actually I do like long walks on the beach but I didn't write that. lol)
I guess it goes along with how I feel of the selfies I see on Facebook all the time. Not a big fan of pictures anyway and I really don't like to take them myself. Especially at my age. 

Reminds me of that Must Love Dogs movie. You say fancier words to describe yourself if you don't like something about yourself.  You change the wording on it. Ex: Flat chested is athletically built.......and so on. 
What's nice about this time in my life is that I can say how many kids and grandkids I have so that way it's not all about me. 

Now granted I love to talk but believe it or not, not a fan of describing or telling things about myself. Yet I have a blog. lol Makes no sense I know. I will stick to the funny stories or predicaments I find myself in rather then the " I was born a coal miners daughter" aspect of it. 

Although I do like getting "caught in the rain!" Flash back to my age of peeps who know what song I am referring too. =)

If I Was A Rich Girl.............

I had that song If I was a rich girl dun na na na na na na...............stuck in my head yesterday. I think the last time I heard it was when I was watching Confessions of a Shopaholic, for the third time, a few months ago.
I'm sure that most of us probably played the "if I won the lottery" game. (I don't really play so that would be hard.) RB4 asked me if we won 1 million dollars would I eat meat? lol He's funny. I told him I haven't since 1995 and I wasn't a big fan before so I don't know what having more money would do. 

I still think I would shop cheap. I like things whether they are expensive or cheap. I would rather get a deal on something that was once expensive. It's like a game I guess. If I had Oprah money (you know what I'm talking about) then I think I would have a cook. Not my favorite thing to do and I would gladly give it up. 

Everyone laughs at me because they name off these really nice cars they would get. Me, nope a pink beetle. Of course I would probably have a bigger car for the whole family but Reba and I would do the majority of our cruising in the pink beetle. 

I would mostly like to travel. The hubster hasn't really been to alot of places in the US and I would like to show him. I personally would like to go to England, Ireland, and Australia. 

For now I will walk around the neighborhood and think about my riches I already have. Health, family, friends........

If any of you win.......you now know what to get me. hehe Your welcome!

Peace, Candy

Back at it

Trying this ceiling fan again today with a 20 foot ladder. Talk about awkward. Its so big it has reflectors on the bottom and as my youngest says, "it's own zip-code!" It makes me dizzy looking up at it.  We all know I don't need to be dizzier then I already am. Today marks day two of the sluggishness. Too much on the brain maybe?
 Just got back from band practice and I was yawning the last 45 minutes. I'm pretty sure  they think that I ran  a few laps before I came in. 

Short but sweet today I guess. 

Peace, Candy

Sluggish Monday

So do any of you just have days where you seriously can't get out of your own way? I could see if there was a reason for it like a late night or eating too much food that weighs you down but I had none of that. I actually got my 8 hours like a champ and ate light the night before. I have been trying to walk or ride my bike since our church started this read a chapter walk a mile in June. Scheduled to be over Sept. 16th (just so happens this is me n the hubbys 13th anniversary), So far I am at 94 miles because my personal goal was to double the 100. Anywho, I have been riding my bike 10 miles for 3 days a week so it's not like this was my first time. I thought to myself, well it's Monday and surely your just needing to get back into it. (Then of course I reprimanded myself for calling me surely.) Ahhh the fun stuff inside my brain. Ok so anyway for real.....I did good for most of it. I was  listening to a Nicolas Sparks book on Audible (I HIGHLY recommend) and pretty much enjoying the scenery. That was until I got about one mile from home. I don't know if it was the heat or that I hadn't eaten yet or what but I almost made a call to the hubster to come pick me up. 

Then because I didn't plan the rest of the day well, I had to go to the grocery store and walk some more on my rubber legs. Of course you trip more when your legs are tired. Which caused me to hurt myself. Which made me mad. Plus. it was monsoon raining out so I am trying to hurry.

All because I am feeling sluggish. Hmmmm Hope tomorrow is better because now I am done for the day and darn happy about it but afraid to recreate today.

Bet it has something to do with stupid hormones.......

Scarf Hoarder???

So while trying to find shoes the other day, I came to the conclusion I really need to go through my closet again. I guess it had been awhile. I normally try to not do any real cleaning on Sundays because it is my day of rest with family and friends. Yesterday however, the hubby, RB4 and I decided we would watch 3 movies. Worked out good because hubbys back was acting up and it was raining. I watched Pirates of the Caribbean for the first time. (don't know why I had never seen and we own it)  I like it but not the point of this story. 

Anywho.....back to the closet.........I don't know if you are like this but if you are in the mood to do something then you do it. No questions asked. You don't care what day it is, you just do it. That's how I felt about the closet. 

Some of you may know I have a purse problem. Shoe problem is slowly rising but what I was totally caught of guard by was the many many scarves I own. 

Now you all know I live in Florida. Why do I have so many scarves. I do not know this. If you see me wearing scarves alot it is because I have to justify why I have (and could not part with) all these scarves. Some of them you could use up north.  (maybe I will send to my friend who just moved to MO). lol

I also did find a few dresses I forgot I had that will come in handy for the cruise and a pair of jean shorts. Score. But mainly scarves.......

So if you ever need a scarf.......I'm your girl.

Happy Bumpin.......

Do you ever have a day or maybe three where people are trying to bump into your happy? You get up and exercise and do your thing and then you get a phone call or text and then the rest of the day you are trying to get back to your happy state? I am not one to cry over spilled milk. As a matter of fact I usually don't let every single thing get to me but sometimes, when it nears 4:00 and I have had all I can take.......
The older I get the more it just exhaust me to deal with happy bumpers.

Tonight we are going to have a fun food and friends night. The best homemade sushi around. Been planned for a month. Looking forward to it. I am hoping I can change my mood before then. I have 2 1/2 hours. 
Challenged accepted. 

Should be against the law to have happy bumpers on a Friday. What bumps into your happy?

Hope you all have a great weekend if I don't talk to you sooner. Thanks for reading. 

Peace, Candy
