Davenport, Washington & 2 Rivers Casino Campground...
The road from L-town to Two Rivers Casino outside of Davenport on Lake Roosevelt long and somewhat dreary! Why is it the road to somewhere is always longer than the road back?
So yesterday we take a road trip to see some friends sing & play the drums (Blue Heeler is the group) at Customer Appreciation Day at the campground at Two Rivers Casino. It was great to hear Blue Heeler sing and T drum away ~ Awesome group! I think they were amazed we would drive 3 hours to see them and support them - it was worth it though! Beautiful campground, nice people and always a delight to hear the singing and drumming! We got out of the campbround about 5:00 and drove back to Spokane which was at least an hour back through Davenport and Reardan (never been there (REARDAN???) but they are having a MULES DAY celebration next weekend for all you MULES out there (for lack of a better word))!
After arriving back in Spokane we decided to go see the Spokane River as it is flowing at a very high stage with all the local flooding from the snowmelt and rain happening - it was pretty outstanding and I got some pictures though pictures never do justice for something like that.
Then it was off to River Park Square to eat at Olive Garden - the wait was 1 hour plus so while some of our group ran off and did some window shopping in the mall J & I decided to wait it out at the restaurant with the beeper in hand waiting for a table. We had the best seats in the house as we were sitting at the entrance and watching people come and go and it is fun just to people watch ya know - people are interesting creatures! J decided to order us some drinks as we were thirsty from the hour trek from Davenport. Anyhow, he ordered a brewsky and was sipping it down and I just had a Diet Coke in hand - for lack of a better drink (DIET PEPSI!!!). Anyhow this young couple (adults mind you) comes in and she has this 2.5 foot stuffed rag doll that....I kid you not....is dressed in clothes like the guy she is with, camo shorts and a t-shirt the same color as his and the doll has blonde hair just like her guy friend! Okay, so we are talking an adult female carrying a 2.5 foot rag doll with her guy friend and the rag doll and guy are dresed alike..... So, if anyone knows how outspoken J can be, he stops them as they enter and asks the girl if the rag doll is her boyfriend and she says no and laughs (the girl was actually pretty cute about it), J then says well the doll is dressed just like your guy friend and she tells J that the guy (not the doll) is her boyfriend and he made the rag doll for her and he wants her to carry it around with her. I say "how cute?" for lack of something better to say! J starts laughing and the older couple sitting next to us hears the conversation and the gentleman says "I would say to him, if you made it then YOU carry it!".... J starts laughing hysterically about it, most of the laughter of course because he has been buzzed by his brewsky and has basically nothing to eat.....we now have girls outside the restaurant laughing at us because J is laughing so hysterically and the 3 guys taking names looking at us all because now not only are we laughing but the older couple is laughing..... so the rag doll couple leaves and goes outside (not knowing that we are laughing about the doll) and J gets up and goes to the lobby and tells the girls who are laughing at him what the heck HE is hysterically laughing about, then he tells the nametakers at the front entrance......OH MY, OH MY? The couples of today never fail to amaze me! I wonder if the rag doll has clothes that match all her boyfriend's clothes? Is the doll anatomically correct? Did they ask for a booster seat when they were seated to eat last night? We sent the waitress to look for them but she came back with no report and our friend went out looking through the restaurant to no avail!

The beginning of the weekened....
What are your plans, what are your plans?
We are heading up to Lake Roosevelt for the day tomorrow to see Blue Heeler! I have never been there before - they have a fireworks show over the dam at 10:00 p.m. but we won't be there I don't think at 10:00 p.m. Hopefully we are home or nearly home by then! Apparently it is a casino she is playing outside of but the casino lady I called today had no clue what I was talking about.....
Hopefully I can take some time this weekend to organize my life a bit maybe that will lift my spirits! It has been a tough day today.....but tomorrow will be better right, at least that is what is always said!
So the BIG NAIA games start here in L-town either tonight or tomorrow! That is a huge thing for the valley but I try to hide from it! To much testosterone flowing and to many people - makes me cranky! Is it better to be cranky or sad??? That is an idea maybe I could go hang out with a few thousand of my not so close friends and take care of my sadness and get my cranky pants on! Solves the sadness!
I gotta cheer up for the family for the weekend....make it enjoyable! I will let you know how that goes!
P.S. I am babysitting my mom's bird for the next 9 days - some of you know what happened the last time I babysat her bird....GULP....this is actually supposed to be My Bird but I dropped it off at her house a year ago when I went on vacation and just failed to retrieve it again! She does a better job with him - he is a spoiled rotten little biter! Anyhow, I will keep you posted on the adventure of the next 9 days.

Something more to be sad about.........
I just read that Steven Curtis Chapman (the Christian singer) lost one of his daughter's last evening. Apparently there was an accident at his home and she was ran over by a vehicle. She was 5 and they had adopted her from China - she was the oldest of the three children that they have adopted from China! My heart really aches for them tonight! So very sad for his entire family - what a tragedy! I pray for GOD to comfort them as only GOD can! Peace to each of them!

You may want to say a prayer for the family for them!

Depressed....
I can't quite put my finger on it but I think I am either depressed or heading there....I feel sad inside! I don't like the feeling but I can't quite figure what to do to get out of it! Maybe it is just a valley I need to go through in life, it seems it has been awhile since I have been this sad....I am not sure what sent me here but here I am in the midst of a valley. Is it the weather? Is it I am unsettled about what to do with Ang next year as far as school? Maybe it is because my life is in such disarray? Maybe it is because I can't quite get my diet plan straightened back out and back on the wagon? I am not sure what it is but like I said I don't like it - I don't like my heart aching over all the bad things in life!
I am going to try to get out of town on Saturday and go to Davenport, WA - we are going to see a local singer perform at the casino up there! How exciting for them to get invited up there to perform.
Speaking of a trip out of town - gas prices are crazy! My husband just called to make sure I fill up today when I go out because gas prices are supposed to skyrocket again over this HOLIDAY weekend! That sucks! I am so tired of whatever is going on - that makes me sad too! There are people who can't afford the gas prices who are retired and live on limited budgets! What is up with all this crap - I don't get it! Another raping by our lovely country and Oh yes, I understand that it is one of the best places to live in the world - could that be because China owns most of us? Slap me! I am just so tired of politics and all the money that gets "wasted" on campaigning for the crooks! YEESH - there I blew some steam stored up somewhere in my mind! Wake me up when the new president is elected because I am tired of hearing about it!

What a weekend....I am tired, okay EXHAUSTED!
It was REVELATION weekend finally for sorority. We spent the weekend in a cabin out of town! It was good to be with girlfriends, laugh, be silly and relax! No time schedule, no errands to run - it was an escape! I so needed it. I love to sit and watch the campfire, smell the campfire and the clean air, listen to the wind blow the pine trees, listen to the different birds, watch the deer in the distance and the wild turkeys. It was so nice! I could live in the woods in a cabin. I caught a good movie last night with some of the girls - P.S. I Love You - it was a great chick flick! Friday night I tried to watch 27 Dresses, I watched until my eyes wouldn't focus any more and had to hit the sack before the movie was over, unfortunately it was one of those nights that I hit the pillow and of course, then I couldn't got to sleep - I started thinking of the year prior when I was sharing a room with the Queen and how fun that was, listening to her CPAP machine (ha - it really wasn't bad) - I missed her and was lonely, there were the girls in another room laughing and talking and I was thinking how much I wished she was there to be silly with!!! I knew the girls in the other room would have welcomed me if I would have hopped up and went in to join in their chit-chat and laughter but I just laid in bed and had some thinking time!
Saturday afternoon the 11 of us girls "HAD" to play GUESSTURE (the charades game) - I soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo didn't want to play! I just wanted to relax but there were some true WHINERS among us who forced EVERYONE to play (NO PERSONAL CHOICE WAS ALLOWED) - it was pretty funny to watch everyone get up and try to play out the words they were trying to get across to their teammates before the cards disappeared into the timer!
My forehead is sunburned from having my hair back in a headband - looking like a dork - and it is "ouchy" tonight! My back hurts from the chairs that I am not used to sitting in and getting up from, my body is so tired to start out a new work week, I hurt, I am yawning and my tail is dragging trying to scramble to make sure everyone has clean clothes, socks, underwear to dawn tomorrow for school and work but the weekend was sooo worth it!
I am so thankful I had the opportunity to spend a weekend with 11 wonderful ladies who put aside their personal lives to share a weekend with each other, act silly, share stories and get to know one another a little better! It feels so good to laugh and let loose....any maybe, just maybe, we all needed to hear stories from one another and perhaps each of us gained something we needed.
The best part of being away for a few days is coming home to see the family, learn about their weekend and what they did and just be with them again!
Well, tomorrow is going to come all to soon and it is an exciting day also - J&D are finalizing their adoption of K-Baby and have asked us to be there, I don't think Joe will be able to attend but I have planned to take an hour or so to go over and share in the joy and celebration of K-Baby's "GOTCHA DAY"! What a little BlEsSiNg she is! Tomorrow night it is another Celebration with them!
Happy MONDAY - OHHHHHHHH -I wonder how I am going to begin to get through the day as exhausted as I feel right now!

It is Thursday already.....
WOW - I have been a busy girl this week! I have ran hither and yonder almost every day! I had allergy testing this week - 48 hours of tests taped to my back (oh ya...and I am allergic to tapes so that makes it MORE fun)!
Wednesday night was Scouts and Angelo received his badge - he was so excited....
and proud! Congratulations to him and his troop and leaders!
So, wow, not much else I can say that isn't whining! I think it is one of those whiney months for me!
The kid has kept his nose clean at school pretty much - he did have a hard day on Monday but I think we got that straightened out! WOW! He has been encouraging us to pray every night before bedtime as a family - which is a good thing, at least I think it is! I need it!
I am really looking forward to tomorrow and getting to get out of town. Head for a cabin in the trees and sit around a campfire. Laugh and visit with the girls...no boys on this outing! I need some ME time to unwind - it has been extremely difficult the past few weeks and I am not sure exactly what is the most stressful but there is a combination of factors going on behind the scenes and I just want to say it hasn't been good!
Last Saturday we did get to go as a family out to the parking lot of the Elks to star gaze for a few minutes before the clouds rolled in and covered the moon and stars! It was pretty amazing - I got to see Saturn and its rings and we looked at the moon. Angelo pointed out Mars to us also but no one believed him until research was done and then they said "hey, he was right!" (THAT's MY BOY!)
Anyhow, I may post some later but that is my boring little life in a nutshell....probably a peanut shell to be exact!
