I totally cheesed out of doing Friday Frags last week, so you'd think I'd have plenty of titilating tidbits to share this round, right? Well, I guess that depends on how easily you're amused. Hopefully pretty easily. No offense.First of all, I'm going to have to be rude and not visit any other fraggers till like Sunday this time, because guess what! I'm off to the semi-annual and long-overdue-this-round BLOGARITA GATHERING with my besties this weekend! It's always good to get away with girlfriends, scrap, find some mischief, and enjoy a few cocktails and laughs - more than a few if history is any indication. Each gathering produces its own collection of hysterical antics, inside jokes and classic moments. The stories are legendary. I can't wait to see what tomfoolery develops this time. And there's a bonus too! AND! In addition to the other Blogarita Sisters, I'll also be seeing two other dear friends, Martie and Heidi. Yippee!
Quick on the heels of Hub's two cousins and his uncle and my Dad's best friend passing away, Hub's Aunt G also passed. This is a blessing of mercy somewhat, because she was very ill and had little hope of getting better. But it's never easy. Aunt G was a real spitfire and she was one of my favoritest in-laws. I am going to really miss her. I still need to take her email out of my address book but I just can't seem to do it yet. Isn't that weird?
*WHINE ALERT* - Last Saturday was excruciating. I woke up with a headache, which is always fun. Incrediboy's school was having an arts festival which of course we wanted to attend. I'm a firm believer in acknowledging and attending all that stuff even when you'd rather deal with a root canal, because they are great esteem boosters for the kids. Incrediboy had a painting framed and on display, which we could purchase at an exhorbitant fee, in the name of a Rwandan conservation drive they were having. Of course I bought it. We had a soccer game in the early afternoon, so we grabbed lunch at a nearby joint. The food ended up being really disgusting. Nice. The weather was horrible - cold, raining, and super windy - so the soccer game was a real character builder. We did win (Woot! Still undefeated!) but all the commotion brought my headache up to a deafening throbbing pound. Right after the soccer game Incrediboy had a birthday party. For twins. So there were twice as many kids as usual and it was at least twice as loud. Not to mention the bad weather brought the party indoors. The noise was unbelievable, and accelerated my headache into a migraine. I actually had to go out and lay down in the car for a while. By the time it was all over any noise, movement, or change in lighting made me feel like I was going to puke. I managed to drive us home without wrecking and immediately collapsed into bed for the duration of the day.
Sunday (Mother's Day) I woke up feeling fine. Thank heavens. The lousy weather had moved out and it was a crisp but gorgeous sunny day. We had a cookout on our deck with my BIL and his litter and we all had a really nice time. AND, my boys gave me a big bouquet of gorgeous roses. I love my guys so much.
I was happy to see Big Mike go home on Idol this week. I have nothing against the guy, but he was still around just on the judges' save, which is a bunch of crap. That's just 19 Productions being mad that they missed out on the Daughtry cash cow and trying to make sure it doesn't happen again if you ask me. But who did? Oh, that's right. Nobody.
On the flipside, my man Rupert is gone on Survivor. Boo! BUT! He already won the fan fave million, so I don't mnd as much. Russell is still in it and he deserves the mill more than anyone. He's so WICKED! Lastly, if Parvati ends up winning this thing, I'm going to kill myself.
The remainder of my thrilling week has consisted of getting my scrapping project organized for the big weekend, indulging in my photography hobby, catching up with some newly found old college friends on Facebook, and semi-sort-of helping Hub with an electrical project. Which reminds me (and I won't bore you with the corelation), we finally got a Wii. Welcome to the 21st century!
Well darlings, I have girl time to get to - wish y'all could come! see ya! xoxoxo

Poor Rupert!!! Did you see that look he gave when he left... His "leers" are scary!!!! This season has been CRAZY!
i don't think rupert played a good game this time, or maybe it was the editing. but russell is by far the best player evah! i doubt he'll win though because no one likes him and that's who they vote for, who they like or rather hate the least. i think the winner should be decided by the audience vote! russell does not need the money certainly but he does deserve the WIN. and parvoti? blech. blech. blech. boo. hiss.....

It was definitely time for Mike to go home...Casey shouldn't still be there, either. Lee and Crystal are the only two that are really good this year. At least talent-wise. As Simon would say...they need to work on the personality. It's been a *yawn* boring season.
Is Ches going this weekend?
Killing yourself if Parvati wins might be a little extreme. Russell is so good at being a villain that it's a little scary but I think he's going to win this go round.
Happy Friday and have a great weekend! I was glad to see big Mike go too and you just ruined survivor for me because I tivo and have not watched it yet..why is Russell still there? People are so stupid..he is such a jerk!!
Your Saturday sounds positively hellish, I know what you mean about school functions though - I go to them when it's the last thing I want to do too.
I'm glad your Mothers Day went well and this weekend sounds like it will be terrific! Have a wonderful time :)
I would not want Rupert looking at me like that. Someone may not make it out alive.
