Still on vacation

Here we are on vacation. We arrived in Tampa at my little sis's place late on the 20th and left there on the 22nd to drive down the gulf coast. The temperaturs are in the 90's here and we are on an island only accessible by ferry and everyone has golf carts to drive. With white sandy beaches and a community pool we are getting tan. I didn't know I could even still get tan since I was two shades of transluscent.

But we are here until monday when we drive up the coast to see Hubby's aunt and uncle for a few hours then back up to Tampa. We fly back on Tuesday and I know I will be anxious to see my puppy... LOL. But not to get back to work. hee hee... Talk to you all later!!!

The sunshine state

We are heading off to Florida tomorrow. A few days with little sister and brother-in-law at their new house and then a drive down the gulf coast to a townhouse on an island. I have busted my rump for so long with design stuff that I need a rum and coke and a nap on the beach. Yep, that's what I need.

I might blog from the trip but I won't be back until August 1st. I know. Our first long vacation. I hope we don't smack each other around. LOL Later gators!

Fistses of Five year old furry.

Peanut put on the Hulk Hands and my goodness was it funny. I was laughing at the whole picture. Then she turned to her daddy and said, "I'm going to destroy you." We laughed hysterically. She went swinging at her daddy with the hulk noises erupting from the fists of five year old furry hitting her daddy. Funny little grunts emmited from her and even a growl or two. His hands were up protecting his face when she punched him THERE... guys, you know where.

He crumpled and she laughed. Turning to her brother she said, "(insert my son's name here) I punched daddy in the pee pee and that was funny."

Daddy didn't think so but the fight continued. He was covering his area better when she punched him in the face. Then she said, "My fistes are strong!" in a grunty voice that we call her REDRUM voice.

But of course, peanut.

My peanut was talking to me this afternoon about her stuffed dog. She said it was a wolf, it was a female wolf to be exact. I chuckled.

"Oh yeah? A female wolf?"

"Yeah mommy. Her name is Mrs. Wolfy."

"Wow, that's nice honey."

"And she has a sister. Her name is Mrs. Wolfy."

I tilt my head to the side and look at her with amusement.

"They have the same name?"

She gives me that slight eye roll (they pick that up quickly LOL) and then says, "yes mommy, they ARE twins."

But of course peanut.

Some tea please

I love iced tea. I have been drinking it since I was a child but it has to be sweetened. I make my own by boiling so no I'm not a sun tea type but I love tea. So when McDonalds finally started having sweet tea I was excited. Yesterday I took my kiddies to McDonalds as a treat for being good on all my errands to the bank, the pharmacy and to a tile store where I got tile for a client AND bumped into an old coworker and friend. We chatted happily for a bit, my that is fun.

So I get the sweetened tea because I try to drink little pop... empty calories is all it is. I get the tea and sit down.

DEAR LORD!!! Is there any tea in there at all? All I tasted was sugar! "Excuse me miss... I'd like some tea with my sugar please."

I added water and that helped but my god, who can tolerate it like that!?

Alive and kicking...

Tuesday we went to a Pirate game and last night we went to the community park for food and fireworks. I will be downloading pictures in a little bit to share. I'm a sharer. lol

Happy 4th

Happy Fourth everyone!!
