Atlanta or Bust!

I knew the day had to come so I seized the Saturday. During my escape to Florida (mental breakdown#1) I kind of went off the deep end and spent some money, in Atlanta on the way home. I guess I needed one last umph before heading back to reality.
THE CONTAINER STORE...Have you ever been? All I have to say in ELFA...
If you have never been you must try and find one. Of course they are not here in TN, why would they come here. Just like Nordstroms, Ikea,Wawa(for you eastern girls), ect.. The store is just overwhelming with storage. I wraps you tight and before you know it $, while Dave Ramsay is in the the other shoulder saying do you really need that or is it just a want. Ugh. So I got home with the stuff and 3/4 of it needed to go back. I guess my organization mind was outta wack too.
Got my mom on board to watch the klan and off we went with no back seats in the van.(Get your mind out of the gutter, we do that in our closet, not the van) Yes, Brian was on board too and with the seats out there is no holding back. The purpose take the goods back and spend 5x more than you did the first time, but bring the measurements this time idiot.
More or less the day went well and Brian and I had great bonding time. We laughed and giggled at the stupidist things. When you've been together as long as we have you get this mental communication going. Bri looked and me and I knew exactly what he was thinking. ....that is a man.... DING... This Hething that wanted to be a Shething walked in the store and rudely bagan talking to the person that was waiting on us. So Brian (Mr.Don't Hide Anything So You Can Embarrass Your Wife) decides to make the high voice the Hething/Shething was trying to make. Picture this, Brian is facing He/She and I am giving him the eyes "stop He/She can hear you" I whispered. This person was obviously clueless or it wouldn't be dressed like a woman. He said look at those hands. I whispered Hush! Duh that just fueled the fire..Finally after he got it all out of his system 5 min latter he said "So, If I ever want to become a woman all I have to do is get rid of my Adam's Apple." .....Oh no hunny you would have to get rid of a lot more that that..Ha! Mr. Hairy man
So there is still hope in the Keegan Family. It is all in a good day's work . Come my friends covet...da da da daah.. MY NEW PANTRY! It is beautiful and I may make it my new get away place since we probably spent all our vacation money on it. I think I will have to paint some palm trees on the walls. I haven't yet put anything in it, that would mean I have to clean the kitchen. So, all you organizing guru's out there...I need help.....don't know where to begin ....too much space....thought those words would never come out of my mouth.
No,I think I just have irritable organizational disorder.

FYI Friday

Did you know that when you run your garbage disposal you should only use COLD water.
Yes everyone that is true, make a note of it and pass it on

Because I read it in Costco Magazine and Costco's the best.

Blubbering IDIOT

You Guys made me cry. You know the Lord blesses us in many ways. To hear you kind words about my stupid words was a blessing in disguise.

I got a post that you can't see from a friend in Cali that us to lived in Phila when we were there. I had no idea she was reading my poopy notes on this blog. She actually said that it brought back memories of ole times. So ding the light went on . Maybe my silly music and imaginary thoughts help others. Not all of it is about me. Selfish fool, oopsI just said that out loud but used the "b" word that is ok no one is home and I needed to let go.

I am not sure what will be next, but since this helps you have better day, may I continue.
(sounded good huh!)

Please don't :

Look and my grammar and laugh

Ever feel negative after reading my junk

But do:

Enjoy the music, because all these songs have a meaning to me. ( when i figure out how to get it back)

Listen to them and start to dance

Enjoy the day even if it is raining

Say anything to make your friend have a happy day (selfish but i need it)

DONE

i think this will be my last post ....not good at it ...... not good at anything these day....more talented people out there than i

CHOW

Just Wondering

I was wondering what your High School Prom song was. Just listening to Stairway to Heaven and no that wasn't mine but at every dance I danced to it. And yes, "made-out" during it because it was so long. Well the teachers did break it up but we tried.

So here is mine "You Are Everything" by the Stylistics
and I went with the quarterback of the football team

Class of 1989 (yes i am old)

Time to get the LED out

For all of you Led Zepplin fans out there here are a few of my favs. Brian and I watched the concert last night from the early 70's it was fab. I think I should have been a flower child I think I would enjoy not worrying about anything, whip the boob out feed the 5 year old, travel in a volkswagon van with the peace sign on it, smoke a doobie or too, feel nothing all the time.

I am sure that is not why the Lord chose me to be born then, too easy for me.

I really feel like I am not suppose to be here in Tenn. I was suppose to be born on a tropical island living off the fresh fruits among the one of my favorite things my palm trees. Surrounded by crystal clear waters of the vast ocean, the cool ocean breeze with the wonderful smell of the salt water. Feet in the warm sand looking at the horizon waiting for the sun to hit it and see that green flash.

HOW COULD I FORGET

Everything going smooth

I actually was on a roll trying to clean out the closet

Got a call 3:47PM

Not sure which school bc the dump WCS all have same incoming #

@#%^

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

AND WE KISSED AND HUGGED
