Almost there!

In a phone conversation I had with my dad last Sunday (Father’s Day) I discussed getting ‘old.’   When he asked me how old I was going to be I could hear my mom telling him in the background and for a split second I panicked!  I didn’t want to say it out loud — not because it made me feel old, but because it freaked me out how old my turning 50 makes my parents!

I have sort of given up on adding to my ’50’ list!  I can’t think of anything else I want to put on there.  I figure if things pop into my head, I’ll add them.  I have been working on the list though.  Today I have an appointment with my nice tattoo guy 😉  for my ankle.  I’m also going to show him a couple of elements for a possible 3rd tattoo.  Just a little something for  Bandit.

The fair is in town and we’ve been twice.  We buy tickets through the base that gets us in everyday, for very little money.  So far we’ve seen Patty Smythe (love that old broad!) and the B-52s.  That concert was a blast!  Tonight we’re going to see Clink Black….gotta get me some cowboy eye candy.  I like his music, but the best part will be all those tightly wrapped Wrangler butts (did I say that out loud!?!).  Yummmmmmy!

I was concerned the fair being here would interfer with my weight loss efforts, but even though I’ve ‘endulged’ I haven’t gone overboard and I’ve still managed to lose almost 9 pounds this month.  Better yet,  I tried on several pairs of jeans I’ve been hoarding in my closet and I could get in to 3 of them.  I’ve tossed them in the wash and we’ll see how that goes after the dryer shrinks them down.

So, did anyone run out and buy a Maya Banks book?  Next up is J.R. Ward.  I’m getting ready to start her books over… in about 5 minutes.

P.S.  While leaving the fairgrounds Wednesday night Kahuna asked me to start stitching again.  He wants me to enter something in the fair next year 😀
