Size Really Does Matter.....

Yes, according to Paige, small weenies are better than big weenies.  Big weenies can hurt you.  Big weenies are heavy.

Hey pervs - get your minds out of the gutter!  She's talking about weiner dogs....you know, Waylon and Eddie :)

Still, at 7 am when your child asks you if you like big weenies or small weenies better, your mind tends to wander.

I can't believe I haven't blogged in a month.  That's a lot of Paigeisms gone to waste.  In the past month, she's requested Hooters for Fathers Day (denied) and told everyone at Sam's Pizza she likes to suck the flavor off her fingers.  There have been a few more good ones, but I didn't write them down and I certainly didn't get around to blogging about them :(  The kid is a laugh a minute.  She's always so full of witty remarks and is really just the sweetest child ever.  Since school's been out, she's spent the night with two BFF's and I'm happy to report she carried clean underwear in her overnight bag each time.  I feel like progress is being made. 

I'm in the process of removing rust from one of my cast iron lids, drinking and blogging.  One is not so dangerous (ever since I almost blew up the house cleaning the oven, I always check it before I turn it on) and the other two, well....it could get a little dicey depending on how many glasses of wine I have the rest of the evening.  I scrubbed my cast iron lid with veggie oil and salt and I've got it in the oven right now.  I think it's going to need another round of scrubbing before it's completely rust free.  Gary is in bed and so is Paige.  I told her she was going to Gammy's tomorrow and she went straight to bed.  No shit!  Strategy for the school nights when I can't get her to go to bed, right?  I'm really impressed with Paige right now.  She's been trying new foods and I'm so proud that she's getting a little more variety in her diet.  In the past month, she's started eating tuna with mayo on a sandwich and she's added meatballs to her spaghetti.  This was the age when Tyler finally started eating something other than chicken and corn, so maybe there is hope for her yet.  She's also become obsessed with Harry Potter.  She's read all of the books and is currently watching the movies.  I'm so excited to see her reading for fun. 

I want to really go batshit crazy over this whole Regional Referee thing that I've gotten caught up in, but I'm not going to.  I yelled about it to Gary for about 20 minutes tonight and even though I think it's a bunch of BS, I'm not going to air it out on my blog.  It is what it is.  Thankfully, there are enough people out there who do know what I'm talking about, so I don't have to go into anymore detail for them to nod their heads in agreement with me :)

Harvey West's cook off is coming up next weekend and I am sooooooo excited!!!!  I love that cook off.  Hell, I may not even cook - I'm just looking forward to hanging out with friends, enjoy some good eating and relaxing.  I'm going to take it easy this weekend, do some canning and as usual, scrub my friggin floors.  I'm telling you, it's a hell of a life I lead!

Have I blogged since Polka Fest?  I don't think I have.  It was a blast and we sold an ASSLOAD of BBQ Sandwiches!  We had a great weekend, except when the A/C went out at the store.  That wasn't so much fun.  It's since been fixed, thank God, but it was HOT in there!  We were open Saturday and Sunday and had such a good time visiting with people who knew Stanley J. was smoking briskets and made sure they were there to get a BBQ sandwich.  We sold some spices and chili, but mainly people came to get a Stanley J. special.  I think we are going to smoke a few briskets for July 4th.  I was kind of BBQ'd out after Polka Fest, but I'm ready for another go round!

I'm still obsessed with Armie Hammer as Christian Grey, but uh.....Magic Mike???  OMG,. WTF???  Ladies!!!!  The hot pieces of ass in that movie are almost too much for me to take at one time.  I think I'm going to go see it tomorrow night, but I'm not entirely sure.  I'm not a big Channing Tatum fan, but even he looks hot.  I can't wait to see Matthew McConaughy and Joe Mangienello......YUM.  YUM YUM YUM!!!

I redecorated and repainted the Cowgirl Cadillac.  I combined the cowgirl motif of the CC with the shabby chic decor of Pussywillow Rose for an awesome shabby cowgirl interior.  I love it!  I repainted the outside of my Shasta - she's now light blue on the bottom and still white on top.  I pulled up the carpet and laid faux wood flooring and it looks amazing.  I need to find a few things for my kitchen countertop, but other than that, I've got it exactly the way I want it.  I'm actually down to just one trailer now.  Wow....

Time to start looking for another one...hahahaha!!

I guess it's time to refill my wine glass and check on my lid.  I can smell it.  I'm not alarmed, though.  The house hasn't started to fill with smoke and there aren't any toxic fumes wafting through the house.  The babies are in bed with their daddy.  They were going BSC about a skunk on the front porch earlier.  It was a baby.  And, in true redneck fashion, my husband and child were watching it through the window.  Gary turned the sprinklers on and it hauled ass out of the flower beds.  Cheap entertainment on Chmelar Road.  It's how we roll.

Keep it real.....and spread some kindness and joy while you're at it :)
