My occasionally snarky thoughts on everything from motherhood, politics, life and current events. Cocktails are sometimes mandatory. Bottoms up!

Over the mountain...

Whenever I think of Wyoming - this kind of scenery is what I envision...

Really - the only thing misssing is a heard of antelope watching you go by. And we saw oodles and scads of very well fed antelope. :) They are just camera shy - or it might be that it's dang near impossible to get a good picture of them when you are crusin' along at 82MPH... Ya think??

And for the illustrious TNT - who never got to go over the mountain with me last time - I took a few pics while coming down the "Oh My God" Highway a.k.a. alt. US 14.

There are times when you think about just hurtling off of the edge... Not that you would want to or anything! But still...
Yeepers.

The view makes all of the ear popping well worth the effort however...

So at any rate - we made it in fine form to my folks for a visit. It's all good...

My ears finally popped. :)

Note to self...

Just because you hear a loud THWOK while taking a shower there may be no need to tiptoe throughout the house wearing nothing but a (now) wet sarong and dripping suds all the way looking for an intruder.

The THWOK may very well be the 2 liter of diet coke on the counter - expanding. Duh...

Time to hope that the neighbors haven't been traumatized. Again.

Yeesh.

Some days....

I just can't seem to get it together. Typical Wisconsin Fall weather - gray and dreary again today. That's not helping for sure...

But in a few days I will be on the road to Wyoming - time to go visit with the folks. Hopefully this time a U-haul and kid in the ER free trip!!

At least I know the scenery will be good - once we get past South Dakota anyway...


And that *only* takes a day and a half... ;)

So what's the point of this post?? Meh - don't have one... I just like the picture - I took it in August at the Dead Indian lookout over the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway. Makes me happy.

And some days that's enough.

Today's post is brought to you by Molly...


May we all find that level of relaxation sooner than later. Happy Friday!

F.Y.I.

Some days it's *not* so good to be ahead of the curve...


Just sayin'...

And it made me giggle so there's that. :)

Mum's the word!

But the flowers sure are pretty... :)

Any idea if I should be deadheading this guy to keep him happy?? I am horticulturally challenged at best...

Mud is a motivator...

Who knew?? LOL. That's my little hitter with one of her best buds from the neighborhood. :)
Sporta had a blast at her football game Saturday. Apparently a muddy field makes tackling people easier - she got in some pretty good hits!! (And I only had to shut my eyes once...)

I don't know who was happier - Sporta or her Dad. But it really was a fine thing to watch... They ended up analyzing college games all afternoon. Heh.

And we are supposed to get even more rain this week. Can't wait to see how *that* works out! I'll just have to get more laundry soap - eh?? And remember to bring an old blanket for her to ride home on in the car... Hey - I never said that *I* liked the mud... ;)
