Suggestion for Krogers

Monday evening, I went to the gym. I haven't been in weeks. I did circuits, treadmill, stretched and got in the the sauna for about 3 minutes. It was really hot and I needed to go the store on my way home, so being completely red-faced and wet was not that appealing to me. 

So what brainiac at Kroger's put the two items I can't sleep without: Cat Food and Wine (if you've heard a hungry cat at 5am....you know what I'm talking about) on the complete opposite sides of the store? Seriously, any pet or baby items should be located directly behind the beer and wine aisle.  Okay, wrote Krogers an email to give them my suggestion. 

So today, I bought a PowerBall and I walked outside and found a quarter. I'm convinced I'm the next winner. Besides contributing to world peace, church, respectable charities, family, blah, blah, blah,  I've decided on a Maserati convertible as my first selfish purchase because the dealership is very close. I'm thinking if I had this car "I'd be bringing sexy back".

Can't help myself. A little Justin link below. Okay, even the ad in front is funny for Poo Pourrie.

After the car, a trip to the Virgin Islands for golf, snorkeling, sailing, sun, sand, and a PainKiller at the Soggy Dollar Bar.  Sunny drinks for shady people.

My daughter wants a Dodge Ram pickup truck if I win. Something is so wrong with her. Sometimes I think she is my child and sometimes I don't.

Fake Beer Pong and Cheese Camera Feature

Charles

So Saturday I'm playing a charity golf event when I get a text from Hayley. She sent me a picture of a goldfish. She proceeds to tell me she won it at Grapefest. I turn to Nick and jokingly say "I hope she didn't win it playing beer pong". 

I texted her back and asked how she won it. She said she won it at beer pong. Seriously? AAGGHHH. Oh, but beer pong with no beer and no red cups, so fake beer pong. Interesting. She also sent me picture of her cat who had located the new fish in the house and was giving it the evil eye. I'd post but the pic, but it was blurry.

Sadly enough, Charles didn't make it through the night. Because Hayley had already bought a bowl and the rocks etc, she replaced Charles with a Beta....as of now, still unnamed. So I haven't gotten an animal for myself in 16 years but because of my children I  have a Rottweiler, two cats, and a new fish. I told Hayley she needs to start bringing things home that are NOT alive.

So I was griping about how my camera phone didn't have flash etc. Well it does. I just never looked at the settings. But the greatest thing of all. I have a 'Cheese' feature. You can select the Cheese feature and when you say Cheese the camera automatically takes a picture. I figured this out Friday at work when playing with my phone. Not sure why, but this feature had me laughing so hard.


So I was told that you can survive by starting fires with Fritos because they have so much oil. Well, I needed to check out that theory. Here is the result. They burn and put off a nice chemical smell. Hmmmm. Maybe I should get over my Frito addiction.

Having margaritas at Taco Diner last week.

By the way, you cannot NOT dance when "She's a SuperFreak" comes on the radio.

Golf Update and Seniors (TMI)

I haven't played league lately, but went last night. Lovely evening. On 9 holes, I shot a 47 which is pretty good for me at Riverchase. Bonus: Did NOT lose a single ball. So I had three pars which is great but boring to talk about. So let's get to the blow up hole.

First hole is a par 5. On my 3rd shot, I'm about 5 feet in front of the green. I have ample opportunity to par this whole. So here's how it played out:

• Hit PW on toe of club and send ball sideways about 5 ft....still NOT on green.
• Use PW to top the ball and send it flying (worm burner) to other side OFF the green. (Pulling a Happy Gilmore move)
• Peeved Now. Use putter on downhill putt (off the green) and ball makes it about halfway to hole.
• Two more putts for a total of...............drum roll please........8.

I am pretty sure that if I had thrown my PW into the lake last night, I might have scored much better.

So we sat at a different table last night after golf.  A guy from the men's league came over to tell us that we can't be changing tables because it is confusing to them. Hahaha. These are the same guys that always add their names on the women's bright PINK closest to pin and longest drive markers. These the are the same group that two of them walked by all the women one day and one of the ladies heard the one guy tell the other one "These women want me". That sent us all into hysterical laughter.

So I was almost late for my tee time because I was talking to this lady at the bar. She comes in every week for cocktails. She drives her red convertible and is always dressed up. She is 75 years old and proceeded to tell me about how her (now dead) husband had relations with her until he was 84 and got cancer. And she said A LOT. And last week she dumped an 80-year old man because on the 2nd date, he kept talking about sex to her. She has also decided she wants to date, but she wants to date someone about 60 or 65. I love golf league nights.

Fun with Hayley

So I have some girlfriends that I meet for happy hours every couple of weeks. Well, I am almost always dressed in jeans and heels. Not sure what got into me this morning, but I'm wearing a tight (not exactly in a good way, but whatever) black skirt and my cute black heels that I bought in Vegas. They may be wondering "What happened to Connie?"

Well, I'm not sure what has happened to me either. Very strange. As many of you know about me, I hate to clothes shop. Well, my daughter and I were at the mall purchasing our very cute Dallas Cowboys shirts and I saw the cutest hounds tooth print and corduroy slacks in bright colors. 

Speaking of cute Cowboys shirts. Here is one. The back of it is all lacy type stuff. By the way, my daughter said that that is a horrible picture of me and that I shouldn't take selfies. Bah humbug to her. Oh and what up? Here is Hayley taking a selfie of the both of us just last week. I guess the selfie rule only applies to me.

Because I hate to shop, I just looked at the nice pants, but didn't feel like getting undressed and trying on clothes....or trying to match tops with pants, etc. BUT, I'm determined to go back another day and get me some cute clothes.

Okay, so random phone pics. This is me and Hayley being idiots at Bass Pro.



Here were are being idiots at Ross with our headbang bangs. There is a recurring theme to me and Hayley being together.

Homeland Security Searched my Sweet Little Car

Pirates Alley Cafe

So Hayley and I drove to the beach last week for some relaxation. First stop was Whataburgers for breakfast. We were just south of Dallas. I realized I had no gas. So we stopped for gas. Now, I hardly EVER look at gas prices.Side note: my car takes premium gas.  I look over and gas is $4.19 a gallon. No way. I put in $5 and we stopped again later to get Monster drinks and gas for $3.74....much better.

So we are passing that big statue of Sam Houston in Huntsville and Hayley is like "Why is this car not stopped?" in her best sarcastic tone. No, we did not stop to see the statue. 

We had a nice relaxing time at the beach. We read books, ate seafood, and just played in the sand and ocean....and guess who forgot the boogies boards? Ugh.

On Ferry

So one day, I got some wild hair and decided I wanted to take the ferry to Port Bolivar. Note to self: Don't do that. So we pull up in my convertible with our music going all peaced out and we have been selected to be screened by Homeland Security. I had to kill the engine, open the hood and the trunk and all compartments in my car for a nice search. All I could think, is thank goodness I'm too old to have pot, but I guess they were looking for bombs and stuff like that. 


So then, there is nothing in Port Bolivar but new homes and this lighthouse. Side note: More than half the town was destroyed by Ike back in 2008 and now there is new construction everywhere. I didn't stop. I made Hayley take the photo as a drive-by. On the way back, we waited an hour in line to get back on the ferry. Sigh.

Baby Black Fin Shark

So we saw lots of Porpoises on this trip, but our last day at the beach we saw a 5 ft black fin shark swimming right out about 50 yards from us. It even did one of those frenzy things....maybe having a snack? Yikes. They did have the purple flags out which means to beware of marine life. So same day, we head over to Pedestrian beach. My daughter and this HAWT Bradley Cooper lookalike (except this guy is much better looking and better body) were out in the ocean. The guy beside me caught a baby shark and threw it back....somewhat close to where Hayley was swimming. I was trying to yell out to her to watch out for the baby shark and get ready to  gouge its eyes out if need be. She could probably just have stepped on it.

So Hayley has been telling me for years that she hates fish and seafood. Not sure what happened but she ate lots of fried fish and shrimp on this trip. She ate the entire piece of fish and all shrimp in the photo below. That was a HUGE piece of fish. This was at The Spot in Galveston. I highly recommend this place. We were girls and got pedicures and hair cuts and deep conditioning one day as part of our relaxation vacation.

So now, back to the grind. Getting ready for football season. Located all my sweats and hoodies, which might be just a little premature. My daughter is now working at Pink and she said they just got in all the Cowboys clothes. Sweet.
