Greetings from Orange Beach!

Hello from Orange Beach! H and I took a mini/quick vacay from the ever mounding boxes from what is now called our tiny matchbox.

Last Sunday, Brooksy (cousin) called and asked if H and I would like to join her and her bf at his beach house in Orange Beach. Before I got off the phone with her.....we pretty much had our bags packed and our floaties on our arms all while standing at the front door sitting on go! You don't have to ask the Jones Family twice!

Eleanor (my dear sweet mom) was volunteered by me to keep Oscar Mayer the Wienie dog while we played on the beach for 4 days! Every time he would have an "accident" inside the house......she would call just to tell me! She really doesn't do the whole pet in the house thing. However, she sucks it up and does it for us.....MUCH THANKS MOM!!

Anyway....here is a pic from day 1 of our mini vacay:

Rain rain go away...come again another day!

We had just made it to the beach, settled in our chairs, feet finally in sand, chapter 1 of trashy book......and then this lovely cloud appeared. Monsume!

Great excuse to head to the outlets! Thank goodness we have a SUV!! You would think that we had not shopped since last year......or that we didn't have to pack up what we were purchasing!

Here is documentation from our dinner at Flippers:

Me and H

Brooksy and Toddy

FINALLY....after rain last night and this morning.....we were able to finish a day at the beach.



Just in case you were wondering.....we were unable to take the "original" white shirt and jeans pics that we will use for our Christmas cards....however, the Walley/Jones fam will celebrate mom's b-day down here at the beach in July....and rumor has it, the family photo will be taken at that time!

Meg-o is not Preg-o!

I have lost my mind! I think it's the whole homeless thing that has done this to me. Let's recap what I have been doing lately:

1. I lost the checkbook. (Found it in the closet, 3 purses ago)

2. I lost $400....in cash mind you! (I didn't tell H about this one. At this point, you are probably thinking that I am just careless. Well, not so fast. I had so smartly put this cash with our Dave Ramsey envelopes. Smart idea...until you forget.)

3. I took a Movie Gallery Movie to Blockbuster! (Had no clue I did this until Movie Gallery called and said that we had an overdue movie. I thought HUH...I took that back last week. Then....it clicked! HOLY MOLY! I run off to Blockbuster....explain....and they give me Benjamin Buttons back to take to Movie Gallery.)

4. Sunday afternoon, being proactive, I write out checks for a few of our bills. Smart right? Not so fast. I take the 3 steps from our front door to the mailbox and took great pride in lifting up the red flag. I was smiling because I was on top of things. Well, on Monday, I check the mail.....and my bills are still there. Yep! You guessed it. I didn't put stamps on them!

I laughingly tell a few friends about my crazy stories.....and they all said the same thing. "I must be preggers!" Sad to report...this is all me. No bun in this oven. This is just Meg....frazzled and stressed to the max. Who knows what I will do today! Keep money away from me!!!


P.S. Benjamin Buttons was AWEFUL!! Let me give you a quick recap. Brad Pitt was born as a 98 year old man.....and dies as a baby. The end. That is the story concept. Aweful!

Mr. and Mrs. Wells

This past weekend, one of my best friends tied the knot. (The other best friend is getting married next month!! )

Here are some pics of the new Mr. and Mrs. Jeremie Wells......who I might add are having the time of their life in Jamica while I'm sitting here on a "borrowed" couch and a "rented" home!

Congrats Jeremie and Katie! Everything was beautiful!! A good time was had by all!

I Should Be Ashamed!

This afternoon.....I invited my therapist over for dinner.

I know. This was a very selfish move on my part. But, come on.....you know that I needed help this week! I am sure that when I talked with several of you over this 5 day span, you would have much rather I chat with Wendi (the therapist) than you! (It's ok if you said yes to this statement).

Wendi, is not only a therapist, but she is also neighbor extraordinaire! Couldn't ask for anyone better. I laugh until I cry when I am with her.....and then wonder if she analyzes me for doing so! ???

Here lately, I have been in need of more "Wendi time" than usual. I have been know to pull stunts like:

"Wendi, tomorrow H and I will be having a garage sale. Come and sit with us and we'll give you pointers on how to sell your home!" (Like we are experts since we have sold 1 home in our entire lifetime)

"H is out of town, let's do girls night."

"H is home, let's do girls night."

"It's cold outside, I've made taco soup. Come over and let me lay on my couch."

"It's warm outside, let's grill out and CHAT."

My list sadly goes on....and on....and on......

Man! I'm going to miss my neighbor! I wonder if the feeling is mutual?? I mean, who would want to chat with me after being at work all day??

Well Wendi: since you lost about $400 on me tonight.....this is for you!

For Sale:
Fabulous 2 bed/2 bath
Closed in garage
new hardwood floors
new carpet
granite countertops
appliances stay
manicured lawn
hotub
patio furniture

Email me if you are interested and I'll give you Wendi's # to set up an apt. for her FABULOUS home!! Why wouldn't you want to purchase her home and have me as a neighbor for a month????

We would like for either strong men who enjoy picking up boxes or someone with a large truck to purchase Wendi's home. Selfish?? Me?? Never!!

P.S. We didn't get the 2nd home we made an offer on. We are still homeless. Tomorrow we are looking for a retal home or apartment. Rumor has it that a farmhouse will be looked at.......good thing Wendi is on speedial!!
