Lola B's

Yup….that’s me….in my new butterfly dress from Target.

I went a little crazy last night.

I think it was because i didn’t have children with me.

I found out what it was like to peruse thru that place for two whole hours….and no children.

I don’t know about you….but normally when we hit that place…i always end up buying crap from

the dollar section because it’s the easiest way to keep my kids happy.

I’ve been known to leave a full cart of groceries there because of a tarntrum or two…

and yes…

i am the one that the “other” moms are staring at and totally thinking to themselves…

how come she can’t control her kid.

My kids have been known to dig there hands into the bulk candy and gobble it down while

my back is turned while i’m browsing thru hair color.

My kids like to play hide and seek in the store…and then i have to call security

and demand that no one leaves target unless i find my kids….

meanwhile they are over by the pharmacy…checking their blood pressure for the hundredth time..

and then it breaks…and i’m the one paying for a new machine.

Or….

what about the time….

nevermind.

I won’t go there.

No more i tell you.

But last night….was different.

I went solo.

The problem was…i saw them unloading the new Tucker line…..and my heart did a little pitter patter.

I spent my whole two hours there trying on the ENTIRE line…and buying this little dress.

I needed a new dress…because the

OVEN DELIVERY BOY SHOULD BE WALKING THRU THE DOOR ANY MINUTE.

I took the curlers out of my hair….i brushed my teeth….

i got out of my p.j.’s…

and i’m sitting here waiting.

Maybe i’ll take a photo of him for you.

I mean…..

he might be HOT…like my mailman.

My mailman is good btw…thank you for asking.

His gout is getting worse…but other than that…he’s still walking door to door every day.

Anyhoo….

my in-laws were here this last weekend.

My father in law stocked us up on some much needed wine.

I think he felt sorry for his son….not having had a home baked meal in over 3 months.

Wine always helps a situation like that.

I like to have bryan’s glass of wine waiting for him when he walks in the door…

it’s just something special i do.

No dinner made of course…but the wine is poured.

My in-laws stay at a local hotel here in town…..

where they offer s’mores to the kids in the evening.

They even offer FREE childcare on friday and saturday nights…

yes they do….but that’s not why we use that hotel.

Really.

Pinky promise.

On Saturday…the Buick boys and i went to the antique car auction right next door to

the hotel…..since Mason is really into cars these days.

I got a photo of the Buick boys in front of a vintage Buick.

I told bryan that i need a vintage car…and that we should

walk in to the auction to bid on one.

I mean….not really for me…

but for Mason….when he’s old enough to drive.

He told me if i started cooking…he would think about it.

I asked him if i would have to do laundry as well….

and he walked away.

I might start selling Mary Kay….

i heard that you get a pink Caddy if you sell a lot of it.

I think i would look good in pink till mason turned of age to inherit the pink caddy.

Lola and i drove the in-laws to the airport on sunday morning…

then headed to Ikea.

Ikea does not open till 10…and since it was only 8am….

we stopped for coffee and donuts.

pink donuts.

Latte loves pink also.

Ikea was good…i found some things for a party that we are having in a few weeks….

with some fried chicken and a dance floor.

My neighbor is building us a dance floor…

so i better learn to two step….or line dance.

Hold on…i believe my oven is here.

Okay..i’m back.

I did not need to dress up….but at least i’ll look decent while i am baking today.
