Summer Plans

Sweet Sixteen Mad Hatter Party
Ok, so I've been a little busy...too busy to make posts in my blog...so we have a lot of catching up to do. I have some pretty exciting events coming up and I cannot be more stoked! First of all, my beautiful little girl just turned 16. 16!!! The years have really flown by! She's already looking at colleges and has her heart set on a school in SD. I tried to tell her that her Aunt Caroline may not be in SD when she graduates, but she's determined to move down there anyway. She even has the ridiculous notion that she can put herself through school while working at Hooters, because of a stupid commercial that they play on tv about these waitresses supposedly becoming lawyers and such. Over my dead body! I have two years to knock some sense into her...I could use some help! (dad!!)



My Bridesmaid Gown
In other news, Madalene's wedding day is fast approaching and I am beyond stressed. According to her, the maid of honor plans the bridal shower, bachelorette party, and also helps with the wedding. I knew about the wedding, but is it true about the other things? AND I foot the bill for the two parties?? Um, yeah I make a decent living but I am a single mom with a teenage daughter who thinks I'm an ATM machine!
I guess I wasn't moving fast enough for her liking, so Howard's mom (AKA Momzilla) decided to take matters into her own hands and plan the bridal shower. This frees me up to continue planning the bachelorette party in (where else?) VEGAS!! Woohoo!!

Southwest was having a special on tickets, $39 one way...so we all got our plane tickets months early! (Vegas trip is in September.) Hopefully the plane isn't a little twin engine POS that has duct tape on the wings...cross your fingers.
I'm still working on an itinerary for us, since I'm pretty sure that drinking and gambling will get old by the first day. There are at least 12 ladies going, so it should be fun! I'm banking on the fact that we are A) a large group of super hot chicks (heehee) B) we are part of a bachelorette party ..to get us into any event free or with a major discount. We've done it before, so it can be done!
I'm also days away from flying to Florida to visit the 'rents. Haven't seen my dad in YEARS...can't wait to see you dad!!

Future Road Warriors


I'm taking my brat and niece Alyssa with me to FL and we'll stay there for a few days. Then it's a road trip back to Cali with the one and only road rage queen, Caroline. I hope we don't get into trouble! I will be sending road trip photos via my phone to Facebook (get an account, Jimmy!!) . And I'm also bringing my beloved Nikon to take
even more pics.

It's going to be a very eventful summer and I'm hoping it takes my mind off of the fact that, come October, I will be the spinster of the family... :(

  1. It's about time! Good for you, we all could use a little vacation or a road trip. Even in Hawaii, I tend to use my magellan as a navigator, please don't get lost. As far as facebook, we'll see? Once I decide to go into predator mode, then I'll get one, other than that, take care and have fun!!!
