And so a new week begins...

It's been a crazy week. I've been dealing with a crappy graphic designer who turned out to not only horribly untalented but also unethical. I could go on and on but really, I just want to get past this ordeal and move on. Note to self: Let it go. I've got a new graphic design team and hopefully, they will "get" what I want my image to say. I was very careful to explain what I wanted to this team. Of course, Crappy Graphic Designer and I talked at length about what I wanted. I so freaking don't get how she could miss my message. But dear God...she did.

Chante is working again. Listening to Aerosmith now...I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. Oh, I've missed Chante. (For those just tuning in, Chante is my iPod. And I love her.) Heh...Poppy...Lost in Love. (For those just tuning in, Poppy loves Air Supply. Okay...that was a joke. Poppy, you can stop gagging now.) I'm changing it, too. I'm not in an Air Supply mood. I do need some new music.

Okay...what else?

Monkey and I rode horses today. We stopped to chat with some friends and Monkey told an off color story and I was the main character. And it pissed me off. Embarrassed me crap out of me. I get pissed off every time I think about it. Ugh. Why can't men be more like dogs and horses? I like them so much better. I can't remember the last time I called one of my dogs or horses an asshole. Nope. I don't think it's ever happened. If I got a nickel every time I called Monkey an asshole, I'd be one rich woman. Let me tell you that's for sure. Ugh. Note to self: Let it go.

I gave the little dogs baths yesterday. Big whoop? Well, actually it was because I used some of the spa treatments that I'll be selling. Well, I had to try them out so that I could honestly recommend them. I can honestly say...my spa products are wonderful! My Gracie looks like a dream!! Well, all of them do but Gracie has long white hair and now, she looks like a queen! Captain's thing is clothes. Yall...I've got to post some pictures. Yall just have to see him in his tuxedo. I've got to where I get him dressed every day. I've got to find him some pajamas because he doesn't like it when I take his clothes off. Hey, one of the apparel lines that I carry say..."Stop Dog Nudity!" I've got a mission now!

I sure have missed my Chante.

I'm thinking about coloring my hair. I colored my hair for the first time when I was in the 10th grade. Up until about two years ago, it has been just about every shade of blonde there is...with a couple shades of red thrown in for good measure. But about two years ago, I let it get back to my natural color. At the time, I had one gray hair. I noticed this morning that there is considerably more gray up there. So that got me to thinking that I ought to go blonde again. That...and Ava was watching The Parent Trap yesterday...and told me that I reminded her of Natasha Richardson if my hair was a little blonder. Yep...that's enough to get me to the magician. I'll be looking more like Natasha Richardson as soon as my magician can squeeze me in.

Good Easter song...Because He Lives by Kristin Chenoweth. I'm such a musical hodge-podge.

A friend from work has lost 32 pounds. She looks great but more than that, she says that she's got her head thinking "healthy lifestyle." She did it by going to LA Weight Loss and working out. I did LA Weight Loss before. Of course, I've done EVERY diet plan out there. I really don't care about losing tons of weight. Maybe a few pounds. But I want to get my head straight when it comes to a healthy lifestyle. I'm very active. I have to be. Taking care of six horses...it's a requirement. But I eat like crap. I drink very little water...and way too many Diet Cokes and Diet Pepsis. I'd like to go back to the gym on my lunch hour. It would be a way to spend more time with Chante anyway. I don't think my skin is as healthy as it could be. I just want to look and feel my best. I don't want to look, feel or act like an old woman. I don't mind my age...but I don't want to look old. I mean...look at Faith Hill, Sara Evans...Natasha Richardson. They are my age or even older...I'm thinking that I'm looking older than them now.

Sara Evans' song Cheatin' is so cool.

I've got to get a pedicure this week. I mean...I've got to have pretty feet for Easter. Is that just a Southern thing or is it just a girl thing? I haven't had nails in several years...but I'm thinking that I might get some. Maybe a little self care will help me feel better about how I'm looking.

Oh, Tuckerville is back! Yes, I admit it. I like Tuckerville. Oh, and Ava got me to watch Hannah Montana today. It was nice to see Billy Ray Cyrus again...and his real-life daughter, Miley plays Hannah Montana. It's funny to think that he could have a teenage daughter. But yeah, I guess he could. It's been a few years since he was Mr. Achey Breaky Heart. Cute show. I liked it. Almost better than American Idol. Oh, God...did I just say that? Geez. I think I did. I mean...I still like AI okay. It's just a little boring this year. I can't freaking believe that Mandisa went home before oh, Bucky, Elliott, Ace, and Paris. Is America really voting? If they are, I don't think they are using their ears to make their decisions. The producers have their hands in so much about this show...they need to cut the drama and let the contestants do their own thing...so we could have some exciting performances. But those dang producers never listen to me. Maybe that's why I enjoy Tuckerville and Hannah Montana better than American Idol these days.

Oh, have I told yall how absolutely beautiful my garden is? I need to show yall how pretty it before hurricane season starts.

Well, next week is Holy Week and I'm praying it won't be another week from hell. We're off Friday and the Monday after Easter so that helps the mindset going in. We'll be in pre-registration Monday through Wednesday so we won't be in the office which gives us a little break. Hopefully, it will make for a short work week.

Later Dudettes.
