Karma, Guns, Jewelry, Funnel Clouds, and Cupcakes

Some random thoughts for today:

I'm reaching certifiable status regarding the turquoise cuff I lost. I think I've found a few options for a replacement. I even tried to locate the person I purchased it from (no, I'm not a stalker) and that was sort of fruitless.

If you threaten to get a gun and shoot people at your office, some places will let you come back to work after you've been escorted from the building. NICE.

If a job bids at 2 pm, and we've accepted the invite on isqft AND it's only 11 am, expect a smart ass answer when you call and ask us where our bid is. Jesus, people.

I am a big fan of Karma. I want to build a Karma altar at my house and make offerings to it on a daily basis. No matter who you are or what you do, the Karma Police will find and arrest you. That's all I'm going to say, even though I could spend hours, no DAYS, going off. I have a healthy fear of the above mentioned Karma and do not want to upset her in any way, shape or form.

I am ready for it to cool off and stay cooled off. I am in need of nesting. I need to build a fire in my fireplace, have a big pot of soup on the stove, a good book and blanket. I am also in need of no more going and going and going. I have one more weekend away from home and then that is it for a while. I am turning into some sort of weird recluse, hermit-like person. My need to be at home cooking, cleaning, taking care of my children, husband and dogs is at an all time high.

I turn 37 on Saturday. I don't know how I feel about this. While I'm figuring out how I feel about it, I'm going to drink a lot, float a lot, and listen to a lot of Charlie Robison Saturday night at Gruene Hall :) The girls are so excited that they get to see him play and I'm excited that they're going to be there!!

Speaking of my girls. If your daddy and I are outside with our cocktails watching the storm and funnel clouds, and you come outside, you better not be some little pantywaist about it! I'm not about to have my storm watching ruined by scared children. If it's too much for you, go back in the house and get into turtle position!!!!! There I am again, lobbying for Redneck Mother of the Year.....LOL!! I told Paige repeatedly to go back into the house, but the "Mosaic Expert" told me she would be brave :o)

It's called The Cupcakery and I was introduced to it today. It's on the corner of McKinney and Pearl. Go there...fast...today if possible. Gary, because he loves me, brought me delicious cupcakes from this place. I ate a lemon one with lemon icing and I moaned with pleasure. That's right - I just said, out loud, that I moaned with pleasure while eating a cupcake. I'm not ashamed to admit it and I will be doing it again here shortly when I eat the Oh, My Gosh-Ganache cupcake. Huzzah!

Have a great day and a great holiday weekend! Good luck to everyone cooking chili this weekend!

Keep it real, folks...and spread some joy and kindness. Karma will be pleased :)
