Hello!!

since there has been such a PUBLIC OUTCRY for me to post a new blog i thought i better get right on it!!!  seriously, i have been busy and i have been busy and i have been busy.

doing what you say?

my job (thankful i have one)

my lawn (thank God for the riding lawnmower invention)

working cows (kevin gave himself a vaccination and had to have emergency surgery, story to follow)

cleaning out closets and cabinets (it only took me 6 months to complete my new years resolution)

going to the lake (it's a muddy mess but its my summer oasis)

playing with my girl (she's the sweetest)

eating popsicles (my weakness, along with wine, cheese, and donuts)

getting a new neighbor (our first and only neighbor....we live so far out we don't even have one, yet!)

sleeping, reading, eating, and exercising (a little)


so stay tuned and i will post a new blog about my man and his EMERGENCY SURGERY!!

hello strangers...where ya been?

hello darling,
nice to see ya,
it's been a loooong time since i held ya...
your just as lovely....as you....use to beeeeeeee........

have i ever told ya how much i LOVE Conway?

conway twitty...
i do.
his songs are important.
his songs are sexy.

and seriously....i have no idea where this is going.

i really just wanted to say i missed ya and i have lots of post headed this way.

they include:
secrets to a good roast...
make a bunny ear, and a loop and a swoop....oh yah
baby, green, blue, black...black and blue
bye bye my hard earned lbs.....
wine...whos whinning???
organization....who me???
and fall......o how i love fall....still

photos of me...ick, but whatever!

i was looking at my fall pictures and realize that its over and i didn't get to share enough fall STUFF during fall.  where'd it go?  i miss it. 

its my favorite and EXPECT to see a few fall blogs soon.

but right now i wanna talk about me.  more specificly, i wanna talk about photos of me.  i do not take good pictures.  i MEAN i REALLY DONT!  and i am not just being hard on myself. 

honestly i think i am a nice looking gal. but when it comes to pics.....see for yourself.

i have squinty eyes and i have a horrible fake smile. my real one is not good but my fake one is worse.

and here i look like a deranged gorilla.  granted i wasnt trying to look good but when i look bad....i look BAD to the bone.

in this self portrait i look fake, puffy and a little like eeeeyah, whats up doc?

o wait, here i look ok. why do we have to be so hard on ourselves? i ALWAYS tell my friends and family that we need to enjoy who we are right now because this may be as good as it gets. when i am 40 i know i will die to look like this in pictures.

after further review i did find a few pictures that make me feel silly and shallow for saying what i said up above.

check this out.....

and look here......not to bad even with the double chinny chin chin and belly!!

hmmm hmmmm.........this is ok too even with the poochy tummy

so anyway, i need to take some advise from my 5 year old.

"be who you are!"

she's right and i am gonna love who i am and embrace my pictures. good and bad!

i am healthy, happy and loved by God, my husband, my family and my friends.

i have a job, food, and a warm home.

i am thankful....even if i don't take good pictures. 

girls will be girls......

we can't have it all, but i do have more than i deserve.

where's spell check????

in the beginning i told you that i can not spell.  http://www.milesofkate.com/ told me there was a spell check! 

where? 

my last post is terrible.

sorry.

i will do better!

please still love me.

i need lots of love and acceptance!

i got nuthin!

i dont have anything to say.......

SO! 

when did that ever stop me!?!

today.

mark you calanders....

on 10-16-09 alison had nothing to say.......

o wait.....i said, "i don't have anything to say!"

so does that count?
