Willie Nelson is the coolest old man on the planet. My mother jokes that he's my real dad. I've seen him probably 5 times to my mom's 16, and have inherited the obsession. The cat is 74 and puts on a helluva show. We went Sunday night to see him, just mom and me. It's one of our bonding things. We drove down to Topeka, fabric markers in hand just in case. Margaritas at Carlos O'Kelleys for old times sake. (Several to be exact.) Then off to the expo center to try and sneak in. Nothing worked. We tried "Candygram for Mr. Nelson" and also tried telling some radio folks that I was his illigitimate love child. Shucks. No luck. Oh well, it was an awesome show, I was completely and utterly inebriated and danced with a whole mess of men in overalls, young and old. I believe one of them tried to pick me up with the line, "Sugar, I've got 180 acres and some damned fine tractors. Come on home with me." I said, "Nope, I'm going home with my momma."
It's presently friday. yay for fridays!! I'm working at the bar tomorrow, then out for a dinner with the fam and the boyfriend. Sunday is my K8's birthday, she's going to be NINE. OUCH. She's already smarter than me and could probably kick my ass if she wanted to. Thank goodness she's easily bribed with craft supplies.
They are off to their dad's for a few days starting Monday (spring break.) I love my babies an awful lot, but I'm finding that one of the perks of divorce is that you get a little time to yourself. I'm hoping that the fiber I ordered will be here soon. I'll stick some pics up here of what I ordered. I think that the two fibers will be very pretty together. I want to spend some time spinning and watching tv, maybe rent a couple of movies and just be alone. I'm kinda liking that whole alone thing.
Sent off my first package for http://www.swap-bot.com/. That sure was fun, and I'm signed up for a few more. Can't wait to see what I get.
