A Beaver Sign Spells R-e-l-i-e-f






Texas Tuesday




Time for Texas Tuesday.....

Clean Bathrooms,
 Beaver Nuggets,
Dippin Dots

It's 





This marquee spells relief!

Yes.. 
They are the cleanest bathrooms
 Yes...
 they have a lot of them!! 

BUC EE'S

These gas stations are only in Texas!

They have the funniest things to walk around and look at.

I have actually bought Christmas gifts in a Buc Ee's.

If you go to their web site here.

You can check out some recipes they have on the
website and even see some fun pictures of Texans
Loving their Buc ee's.

The company is getting bigger and growing,
but we have yet to get a store close to us. 
It's a big thing when someone gets one.
The yummy goodness that they sale from food to snacks,
 and all the cutest home wares in between.

They even have Outdoor stores at some locations. 
You can buy deer feeders or deer corn. 
All kinds of clothes in Cammo. 
Not to mention grills and all things smokers.

Our favorites though,
 is trying to find the unique road signs
 with sayings on them. 
Whomever
is behind the marketing of road signs, 
is hilarious and obviously knows a good road trip
needs a good sign.


Have a great Tuesday...
Now go read the other Texas Tuesday posts....

Chit, He Passed Drivers Ed...


So what gives?

The kid has to be
 begged, bribed and almost beaten bloody
to study school...
 yet he passes drivers ed with flying colors. 
No,
 I'm not surprised but damn...


Teen

So here is my thing, as you can witness for yourself,
He's not right in the head. Name me one 15 year old that is?
I am suppose to trust him with my life and the life of others,
with this stinky creature?
 I don't think knows what a toothbrush is?
Yet, he knows what a caution sign is...

The exact same creature,
whose socks was a bomb and dropped
 halfway between Iraq and Afghanistan,
the war would be over!

He will see a railroad crossing sign and know what it is.
He doesn't understand the shape, size and reason behind 
DEODORANT!

He will remember to look at the speedometer,
 but he can't remember to set his alarm!

So how am I suppose to get through this??

Then it hits me...
That's why Sonic has a Happy Hour and half
price cherry limeades at 2pm!

No wonder those bi@tches
 in the parking lot,
 waiting for
their "driving" kids
 are already smiling...


Designated Driver on the way home from school....  



*Before you get your panties in a wad! I would not do this. 
It's just a story.... the drinking part.... The nasty stinky son is true....

Texas Tuesday! Lonestar Beer


Texas Tuesday




Well y'all I have been trying to blog all day!
It just didn't seem like nothing would go right.
 Don't you hate those days?

So when you have a day like that you decide to blog about alcohol.
Well I do anyways.



Does any other state have a beer?

If so let me know?

How cool is it that Texas, The Lone Star State
has a beer?

The only place you can buy it is in Texas. 

As a retired military wife, 
Let me tell you, 
If crossing state lines with Lonestar Beer is indeed 
against the law well....

Did ya know that not only is this a great beer but it has 
won awards Nationally. 

In 2010 it won a bronze medal at the 
Wold Beer Cup
for American Style Cream Ale or Lager..

So not only non-Texans jealous
but the world is jealous. 
At least thats what the website claims.

Go read this blog! Yes, Cuz I said so;



Do you scan blogs and never comment?
Do those blogs keep you coming back?
Do you catch yourself wanting to say to the person,
 I am sorry that people are stupid?

Well today I want to mention a blog...

Dysfunctional Dose
 A blog that I stumbled across and although I have never 
interacted with Nikki. And I don't have a special
needs child. She inspires me.
I could tell you why and what her story is but I think it is best
to have you click on her button and read her stories.




You know how you just know you would be friends with someone....
I am sure Nikki and I along with our love of Vodka 
would get along great!

Teen Birthday, Boobs and Vodka





Hey all...
So it's been a rainy day today
so I haven't done much,
such the life of a "sahm"

We have a teenage birthday party to attend tomorrow.
Oh yeah! (dripping with sarcasm) 
If I just so happen to have a flask of vodka in my purse,
and said vodka makes it into my Coke
 while attending teenage birthday party...

Would that make me a bad mom? 

Obviously, I will be able to enjoy the teenagers much better,
Hell
I might join in as we are going to some trampoline sky jumpy thingy...
*(note to self, wear sports bra)*
Actually, as I am typing this...
 visualizing myself jumping around
with teenagers, happy on a vodka buzz.
 Boobies safely nestled into sports bra.
*(note to self, ace bandage boobies over sports bra)*
After all,
 did I mention it was a
 birthday party for a 15 year old boy.
(gotta protect those babies, no saggy boobies)

Okay...

 Now that I started out to wine,
 cry and complain,
 I think I have found a solution to my problem.
 So glad that y'all were part of my problem 
solving escapade.

TEXAS HAIR!



Texas Tuesday





Yep...
You read that right! 
What other state but our great state of

Texas...

Has their very own hair style?

None!

It may have a little something to do with the weather and humidity
but hey,
a girl has to use whatever the good lord has given us.
After all, 

God Blessed Texas...
(we have  songs that say so!)

We have our own pins on Pinterest...




Texas Hair has it's own styling products!





1 model of 1,000 on Pinterest that has "Texas Hair" under the picture.






If this one does not refer to you...
All I can say is,

  Well, Bless Your Heart!


XOXO

Phone Photo fun!




Well, it's a little late for me to be posting but at this time, late is defiantly better than never.
I don't have many photo's on my phone this week, as we went on a
cruise for the past seven days so most of my pictures are on the camera that I will share later 
this week.  




This is my new bling purse that I bought just for the trip.
Had to make sure I had plenty of room for all those goodies.






Of course I needed the matching wallet!




This ship is huge....
Yes, I realize that it is the largest in the Carnival fleet, but
until I saw it in person I didn't think it would be this big!



They advertise this for the kids....
Oh heck no, 
this Mom had a blast on these bad boys! 



Another view of the water world!



So there you have it!
I took these before we left port but
I will be sharing more later....

Have a great week!

Friday should be called Party Day!


Well really, 
what more is there to say about friday.

It's about time you got here...
took your own sweet time coming.

Could the week been any longer?

I personally think Friday makes the other days drag out
so we appreciate it more.

In some ways Friday is a glamour hog...

People leave on vacation on fridays.

You go on long weekend on Friday.

You meet after work for drinks on Friday

More people go to the movies on Friday.

So seriously, 

Shouldn't we rename Friday to
Lets party day?

Thursdays Tell it Like it Is



Can't get anymore straight forward of a talker than 
Miranda Lambert



As a Texas girl one thing that we are known for is not beating around
the bush. If we have something to say by god we are gonna let you know.

Some may see this as a flaw but for most of us this is just the facts and well to 
be honest I personally like to know where I stand with people. Fake people just piss me off.
To say it nicely.

Some Cowgirl Bling



So growing up country I can be rather picky when it comes to
my theory of cowgirl bling and what other people call cowgirl wear.

But hey, thats ok because after all, I really don't want to be walking 
around looking at people wearing the same thing as me. 

As I was browsing Pinterest I came up with a few things I thought 
were cute enough that I can see myself sporting!
So I thought I would share with you!



Is this to dye for! With the crosses...
I so want!






I want this whole look!




I'd wear with longer shorts but I'd be rocking in this!

Love the six shooters and wings....
really want as a tattoo 


Well as Roger Creager sings,
this road can go on forever so I'll 
leave you with these few cutie items!

Texas Tuesday ~ Gilley's



Texas Tuesday





What do you think of when you here the name
Gilley's?




Unless you live under a rock or born within the last few years
your first thought to come to mind is or should be 

Source: amazon.com via GiGi on Pinterest




This movie put Pasadena, Texas on the map and made many struggling
country stars famous. Owner Mickey Gilley had live nightly entertainment 
from the likes of Charlie Daniels to Johnny Lee. 

More famous than the entertainment was the mechanical bull. 
If you can call a mechanical bull a main character in a movie,
this bull should of won an oscar.  The whole story
line is based on whether or not you could ride it for the 8 seconds. 

After a fire destroying the original Gilley's in Pasadena many years later
a Gilley's opened in the renowned area of the Ft. Worth stockyards.

A little over a year ago Mickey Gilley suffered a stroke and is doing much better
but in an interview I saw on t.v. he claimed that his dream before he dies would be to 
have another Gilley's in Pasadena!

Oh how happy that would be! 

Before I leave y'all I thought I'd share a few fun pictures of Urban Cowboy

Had to have a picture with Mickey!



The Dallas Gilley's
(boo)


Well there you have it,
a honky-tonk that even though is no longer around
it will always be a part of the history of
Pasadena Texas

be super short. So if your ready for a quick read,
