Hey girlies!!!

Good Sunday morning!
I am sorry I haven't been here in awhile...what a week!!!! And next looks even busier! It's truly a good thing for business, but dang! My old body can't keep up with this!
Coffee in my new favorite Owl mug ( MaryBeth and I bought the cutest owl mugs at TJ Maxx last week and have been having some interesting tea parties in them...lol ) and watching CBS Sunday morning ( love that show ) and contemplating what to do with the rest of the day....
I could ( In Estelle fashion just for you, Blondie :)...
Clean Bathrooms
Do Laundry
Go To the Grocery Store ( I'm out of everything!)
Vacuum and Sweep The Floors
Dust
...And the list goes on and on.....

Or

I could just lay in bed and watch TV and read all day.

Which list would you choose?

I think I will opt for option number two! LOL I wish there were a Sex In The City Marathon on today...LOL...Yes, I admit that Jess got me to watch it and I am hooked...LOL...and when the girls see me watching it and making "eewwww" faces, they always ask, " Well Mom, why do you watch it if it scandalizes you? " It's just so, so, I don't know...interesting?

This has been a really tough week. Yesterday started at 2 a.m. and ended at 3p.m. and I am still tired from the day! And Blondie, I finally got to see what Steelwood Resort looks like! I had to do about 300 favors for Abby McInnish and Ben Sherman's wedding and deliver them there Friday afternoon. They had a guest list of 500 and it's being call the " Kate and William event of Bay Minette." LOL It started with having to get clearance to enter through a guarded gate...That was the first laugh to think that you would ever have to go through a guard gate to get to the lake...LOL....I actually had to state my business! LOL...I felt like I was entering Camp David or whatever that place is that the President goes to on Martha's Vineyard...LOL...In my most professional FBI voice, I said," I am here to deliver items for the McInnish wedding" Like it was some covert mission and was told, " You are clear to enter." What the fudge!!! Clear to enter the same old place where we built bon fires and drank beer and caught massive amounts of fish? Amazing!
And then, just driving over the nicely paved dam ( yes, they paved the top of the dam and that's the entrance! ) and coming upon all of the lakeside cottages that can be rented for the mere sum of $300 per day and million dollar homes all over the hillside, and freshly manicured golf course was just unreal...when I think of all of the brim and bass we caught and alligators that were "taken" because it was overpopulated...lol...and the old boathouse...it just left me with my jaw dropped to the ground and shaking my head....just to see Truck Trail 17 paved was eerie!
LOL....and then going through all of the winding and turning little paved roads and seeing little signs such as " Clubhouse" and " Lodge House Manor" everywhere left me laughing...LOL...I remember those little roads being called " Goat Pen" and " Truck Trail" and " Sand Bed"....LOL
Well, MaryBeth and I finally found the Lodge House Manor, which looked more like a Plantation Home from Gone With the Wind, and went in and came upon an amazing dining room and bar...behind the bar was a man that looked like the butler Niles on The Nanny...and he even talked like him....LOL...I asked where I could find Marvin, ( the guy that runs the Lodge) and he looked down his glasses at me and said in his best fake British accent, " Go around back to the servant's entrance and you shall find him there." and then went back to polishing glasses....I was dismissed!!!! So, we went back out and MaryBeth was muttering something like "What a pompass ass." under her breath....LOL
We came upon the back " servant's entrance" and I walked through the door and called out and a guy came out that looked like a short, plump version on Kelsey Grammar and looked, again, down his glasses at me, and said, " Yes" ( not surprising that he had the same accent as anal bar tender guy) and I told him who I was, put out my hand to shake his and he limply shook mine..( yikes!!! ) I stated by business and he waved his dismissive little hand to a nearby table and said," just put them there." and turned and walked out...I had been dismissed again!!!! So, I left my favors for the fantabulous wedding of the century, took my little back vehicle back down the winding and turning roads with the ridiculous names, almost ran over a man in a golf cart, LOL...and breathed a sign of relief when let out of the gate....Marybeth said, " Well, I feel like we should just go somewhere and have a mint julep and lament about not being able to birth no babies." LOL....That's my girl! Love her humor! I wish she had been old enough to do so and we sure would have!
Needless to say, the whole experience reminded me that you can take the red neck out of the woods, but his spirit is left there forever...in the form of little men who think that because they work for a place with some ranking in society that they can change their accents and look down their glasses at the peasants of the world knowing that they probably go home and eat Boloney Sandwiches and drink Bud Light just like everybody else...LOL.And for crying out loud dude! Change your name to Richard or something or else act like a " Marvin Milstead" the name your Southern, not British Mama gave you!!!!..and I don't care how many little cottages you scatter around TCI Lake..it will still be TCI lake with all it's memories and alligators, and bon fires and the biggest bass I ever caught in my life! I salute you, little red neck men pretending to be English....In my best redneck salute! Yee Hawww!

Of the many aggravating experiences I have had recently, I think that may top them. Still not as aggravating as the " Atmore Wedding Cake Delivery to The VFW" but closely ranking....LOL

I guess now, I am going to go crawl back into bed and enjoy this day...:)

I hope you both have a wonderful, lazy Sunday, too, and even better week next week.
I so look forward to seeing you soon, Gypsy! Bad Saturday is waiting on us!!!
Blondie, I so wish you could join us! We will drink a margarita for you!!!

Love you both so much!!!
