Saturday

It's Saturday. Had to get up at 6:30 because our son spent the night over his buddy's house and they always camp out in the back of the car (which is dumb) and he gets cold in the morning and always calls us at some absurd hour (witness 6:30 am) to come rescue him. Last rescue. No more. The only reason we let him go in the first place is that he is like me and we are not naturally social people. He'd stay in his room all day if I let him. So we encourage socialization - but this is ridiculous.

So since I was up I thought I would holler. Thank you so much for your response to my new picture. I can't lie. I had two of the best hair and make up people in the business spend two hours on me before this was taken. We also had an oustanding photograhper. If I was a braver woman I would do like Oprah and show you a before and after make up picture - but I'm not there yet. Having said that I will say that if you met me on the street you'd be amazed, I run around looking pretty scary: glasses with $50 frames, a baseball cap, no make up, my husband's shirt on and a pair of 6 year old sneakers. ( I bought some new ones but they don't feel right.)

I've taken up tennis recently and now I hurt in places I never knew I owned. But I am going to stick with it.

By the way in conjunction with my last two blogs, I asked Big Man if I ever hit him would he hit me back and he looked at me like I was crazy. Then he got a little angry and said "Who do you think I am?" Our roller coaster of love has been a bit off track a bit lately so I am not sure if it was the best time to ask. I'm not sure if he realized it was a purely hypothetical question or if I was giving him some static.

Hell of an answer, though, even with the heat in it. You can say what you want to about him (and I usually do - because lately he's been working my nerves. He's been on and off my patch of land for several months now) but he's all man all of the time.

Timing is everything and it appears mine has been a little off of late with respect to him . This morning was good though since we were both had a common enemy. Mr. 16 who called at 6:30 a.m. for a ride.

Might check back with you later today. I am leaving town for almost a week to do several promo things. I am hoping to be on Mo'nique's radio show next Wednesday at 2:00 pm Pacific time, I think. I am tickled about that. I think she's hilarious. I'll fill you in on the time as this thing firms up. I really hope it happens. I love anybody who can make me laugh.

By the way, if you know any good jokes pass them by me - No dirty ones please. I heard a good one on a movie the other day:

A Rabbi, a Priest and a lawyer walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says:

What is this? A joke?

Told it to Big Man. He was not amused. Well, anyway I thought it was funny. Maybe it's a a delivery problem.

Enjoy your day if for no other reason than to piss off people who don't like you.
