"No, Maria!!

I am NOT going to smell your armpits. I don't care how well you like your new deodorant!" said Marilyn, firmly.

Handy Gadget

I bought one of these for my guest bedroom. I've been meaning to and finally remembered to order one. My sister will be able to initiate it next week when she stays at my house.

Sarah has one at her house and I love to store my suitcase on it. I can keep my suitcase open and live out of it without stooping down to the floor to rummage through it every morning when I get cleaned up. And, there's just enough room underneath it to store a bag for my dirty clothes.

It didn't cost much but I kept forgetting to order one until I had guests coming and it was too late. I hate when I do that.

Such a handy thing to have.

Twenty-Fifth Annual 3 Day Girl's Getaway!

I'm actually not sure which annual get-away this is but it's somewhere in the mid to late twenties. The twelve of us spend three days at the lake drinking, gambling and solving the world's problems. I've got my booze and nickels ready, the rest is just fluff.

To Whom It May Concern!

I know that I'm in the minority, but I hang the toilet paper in my bathrooms with the paper coming from underneath because that's the way I like it. Please do not take it upon yourself to change it around just because you may prefer it coming from over the top. I will change it back to how it was when you found it. Every time! My bathrooms, my preference. You're just making more work for yourself and for me. Thank you.

Lazing away the afternoon at the lake :)

Arikara Pow Wow

Mike, Shirley, Marilyn and I went to an Arikara Pow Wow in White Shield yesterday. It was amazing to see all the beautiful and colorful costumes. We ran into a friend of Mike's who is Native American and he patiently explained the significance of the different dances and the costumes to us.
