All in All

Well, as you can guess ... the vacation is over with and life is back to normal. We are starting to plan the road trip to Las Vegas in March and then Lady's and Wild Mom's road trip in May. I am really leaning towards driving to Las Vegas. We could even manage to have one rider. I am thinking of the 23 March to 01 April time frame for the fun. The final decision will be made hopefully this week after I do some final investigating. I would really like to see Blue Man Group again because it has been a while since I last saw them. Work is the same which is no surprise . My first piece of news was that we all got a 5% cut in pay effective last Friday. Welcome Back ... I had to tell about the trip numerous times to those interested. It only made me want to go back more especially after the first bit of news. I hope the next 11 months go fast. We will get a bit of nostalgia this weekend as we take the van back to Lake Anna where it belongs. Wild Mom made it back home safe and sound ... though her luggage decided to take a little bit longer vacation. Lady is back into the routine but she managed to get her nails done yesterday so she could start work in the gorgeous mode ... as if she needed any help. Yesterday, we ate dinner with our cruising buddies as a closeout to the whole excursion. Earlier in the day we replaced the dishwasher that had died on us a couple of days prior to us leaving. The house was still standing and in relatively good repair ... so we assume #1, #2, and Peanut managed to be civil. AJ apparently kept them busy keeping up with him. Ever see a 9 month control so many adults? He is growing like a weed. He is a lot heavier than when we left ... a result of too many pizza crusts. He is moving about better and faster and even takes spells of standing by himself ... that is until he thinks about it. He has become proficient in clapping his hands and blowing on a whistle. On the southern scene ... Star is hoping for the new job after her interview today. We have our fingers cross that things will start going good for her. Who knows ... if things go bad up here ... we will move down there and let her support us for the foreseeable future.

Blonde has a flat tire while driving down the freeway. She pulls over and then goes to the trunk to remove two life size cardboard cutouts of naked men. A Police cruiser stops and asks her what is going on. "Well, duh" the blonde replies, "I have a flat tire!" The Police officer says, "No, what are those (pointing at the cutouts)." "Oh, she replies, they are my emergency flashers."
