a favor from you all, because you love me


Okay, fine. I’ll admit it’s not me but the rest of the circus act that most of you adore. So do me a favor because you love my kids and my grandkids. You see this gorgeous girl to the right? She is Ben’s younger sister so she is my darling daughter #1′s sister in law and one of the many aunties to Hazel and Fallon. She also saved my butt a few times on that mud run and literally rubbed mud ALL OVER ME when I stepped out of the final obstacle because I just do not, can not do closed in spaces filled with mud that I must tunnel through. Her name is Samantha and she is a pretty awesome kid. She’s absolutely gorgeous…duh!…super smart…witty…hard-core athletic…a caring young woman. Remember she saved my ass on that mud run and her itty-bitty little self pulled me up over a wall. I know I surprised her with just how heavy I am…heavier than I look which why we will go with the fantasy that I am solid muscle…still she did pull me up over a wall.  You learn a lot about a person when you are knee deep in mud. I like this kid. I like her a lot. I’m glad that we are related…sort of.

So now about that favor…

Samantha wants to live the dream of a Roxy Girl. Seriously, it is an amazing opportunity for her and yes, in my humble opinion, she is a Roxy kind of girl…and so much more! From now until May 8, once a day will you please vote for Samantha?

Please?

It’s so freakin’ easy and you will be doing me a HUGE-assed favor and make me feel even more loved by you and helping out a hard-working, all-around nice, 18 year old college student.

fifty shades of distracted


Laundry?…

Spring Cleaning under the Big Top?…

Filing my Federal taxes (waiting until the eleventh hour because in spite of yet another year of unemployment/underemployment and losing our home we still freakin’ owe taxes this year…you’re welcome 1%)?…

Catching up on neglected projects (yes, of course I haven’t finished painting the staircase!)?…

Prepping for my biennial NRP renewal?…

Training for that mud run?…

What?…

What was that again?

Sorry. I’m finding myself rather distracted these days…and yes, perhaps a little too hot and bothered as well.
