What a Week !?!$*&#!@*&%!

Oh my!
I have survived!
This weeek started, oddly enough, with last weekend. I went to Houston to visit a dying friend. Very sad. He and his wife are good, sweet people, and neither deserve this horrible, slow death he is suffering. The mysteries of God are just that...

After I visited with him, I decided to play hooky from my husband! Instead of going back home to Gonzales, like a good, obedient wifey should, my daughter and I were hidden away in the womanly confines of a figurative red tent - my best friend's apartment! There, the child played with the poor, terrorized chihuahua Rocky ( hats off to that little dog, someone throw him an extra bone...Hell, the whole bag of bones!). The women folk amused themselves with exalting eachothers accomplishments and progress through the past year, laughed outrageously at the downward spiral of Danny Bonaduce, as documented in a tragic reality Tv show, and imbibed luscious wine by the bottles! (Only two, for those of you who are counting!)

The next morning, I packed my progeny up, along with several great gifts from my friend, and clicked my heels, and.....ended back up in cow town....what a jipp! My husband was a little confused by my brief time out, but had surprisingly few comments about it. Good for him! We both benefitted from it...
