Ode to Bea

I have to say I grew up watching the Golden Girls and still find it absolutely hilarious. I still watch it sometimes, even this morning. I was laying in bed with Jasper and turned the TV on, and they are having a Golden Girls marathon, of course I have seen all the episodes. It is just sad that as we get older, our favorite TV icons and others get older too and it just makes you stop and think that one day it will happen to our friends and family too. Sorry didn't mean to be somber but wow.... Live each day to the fullest and hug and love everyone!

The weekend

So Wonderful neighbors and friends invited me over to hang out and of course when I get with them, I tend to "splurge" in the adult beverage department. But I do have to say it is always a fun time. We don't get naked or do shots or anything crazy, we just hang out, watch TV, and complain etc... Hubby is away hunting for Turkeys and apparently did not get one. Oh well it will be pizza for dinner then. Until next weekend then.....

Old houses

NIce top drawer where our silverware is kept. No longer, we will now have to get someone to fix it. The house was built in 1974, the year I was born, so 35 years old. We have been fxing things for 3 years now. But I love it, couldnt imagine living anywhere else unless the lottery goes our way, then see ya, new house with pool and new car, etc..But its frustrating that now the silverware is in its holder in the laundry room and we have this gaping hole and blah blah. Anyone want to fix it?

New dining for the Olivers

So I say to Hubby let's go out to dinner Friday night since he is going turkey hunting today. I picked a new restuarant I had heard about called Mint Julep. Its southern food with a flair like a Kentucky Derby feel. So we get there and atmosphere is good. She leads us to a table for 2 and says oour server will be right with you. Well, what does that mean? 2 minutes, 39 minutes? After 15 minutes, Jodi comes over and says our server is very busy and she will take care of us. Hubby says ok, we need alcohol. Check. We ordered our ususal fare, vodka diet with lime for me and crown and coke with lime for him. Oh and water for the both. The menu seemed to be abit of the tapas style. They ad 3 for 15.99. So we got 3 and a salad and after that we ordered more. However, it was really really good. The ceasar salad was awesome, they brought us water crackers with some sort of cheese and vinagrette instead of bread, that was great and then we had shrimp and grips, tilapia concoctions and a bourban flank steak with potatoes, all in all , it was great, would we go back? Yeah with more people and order and taste everything. Thanks hubby!!

Another Great one Leaves us!

So my hubby and sweet bro in law thinks it's great to send me things from Fox news online and TDO online about things I care about. For Instance, the famously, cute and sweet loving father of 2, Brad Johnson former Super Bowl Winner gets released from Dallas. They say its like putting a horse out to pasture. I think they are both just jealous that he is fabously cute and has a hot wife with 2 tall boys and that I adore him and he adores me(kidding). No, I have met him and hung out with him and his wife Nikki Richt, sister of the Great Mark Richt who coached the Ga Bulldogs. They lived in Tally and my roomate was like BFF with all of them. He has a great spirit and heart. He does tons of charity stuff for the Ronald Mcdonald house and he will be greatly missed by more than just me. Good luck Brad!!!

Holy Turkey

Hubby is leaving me to go turkey hunting upstate. His mom got the trip sometime ago, I just don't get the whole man hunting thing. Now I do like to fish but really, sit all day to hope you may kill a defenseless animal? Anyways, Ill be hanging out with the dogs and the neighborhood adults and their kids. Its springtime ,where the chairs come out on the front lawn along with some other things, adult beverages! Happy Hunting Hubby!

At the Masters 2009

So hubby decides on Weds that it may be fun to get a day babdge for The Masters out of nowhere! Well I grew up on the golf course with my dad and his love for it. I mean Jack Nicklaus was the shit back in the day. I actually played golf in high school and loved it, however I sucked at it. So Of course I am like game, lets go. So after 3 days of looking on the internet for badges, hubby texts me at work, we got badges, don't ask how much. I didnt and still don't want to know. It's kinda a bucket list thing. So we get up there at like 830, its chilly, I have on pants and a sweater, hubby has on shorts, but we are color coordinated. This place was amazing. So we decided to sit on fairway one where we could see everyone tee off and walk by us. About 1200 ish R. Imada hits a ball down the 9th fairway and clocks this guy in the head behind us. He is bleeding and people are rushing to him, not me, what can i do?? They gave him ice and someone called the medics and 10 minutes later he is still fine and the R.Imada gave him a ball. So nice, thanks millionare for hitting me in the headm and thanks for the 2.00 golf ball, meanwhile, he is going to the ER to make sure he doesn't have a brain bleed. So then Tiger tees off, oh my, hits it right over our heads into the trees also. Hubby not happy with rogue balls, Tiger has to walk right by us , like 2 feet away, he was huffin and puffin it was great. Then my man Phil does the same thing only longer. Well I could tell he was gonna walk all the way up and then cross, so I ran up to his ball and he was like 1 foot way and cam thru the crowd and birdied the whole. I love Phil!! I encourage everyone to go to the Masters or some sort of Pro golf tourney!

The name game

So TD and Jasper have about 6 names each per my wonderful hubby, as I do also. Jasper's real name is Jasper Bowden Oliver. My hubby calls him J, J ass, little boy, momma's boy and now JBird. Really can we all just have one name? TD's name is Tucker Dodge Oliver and he is called T, TD, TDog, daddy and big boy. My name is Niki Lynn Roland Oliver. He calls me baby, darlin, Nikilynn, Momma, my wife, and I really don't know what he calls me when I miss him off, don't want to know either. Come to think of it my nieces have about a hundred names too. Delainey Allen Oliver can be that or DD, or D, or precious or lainey or doodlebug! Jacqueline Marie can be that or Jac Jac or J or Jackie or Jacka, etc. So it must be an Oliver trait. This is a pic of JBird on the deck, him and T were barking at a squirrel and it was hilarious. They never bore me!!!

Jac turns UNO!

Gotta say Love me so Jac and DD. Had a great time at her number one. Wished Poppie was there, he would have adored her. He loved our dogs as much as his. Its such a shame that the good people go first and the bad people live forever......

Classic Ford Comments!

Okay so the guy called hubby and told him my truck was ready and to be there by 600 pm so I left work, stopped at a gas station to replace the gas, I had driven only 2.00 worth of gas off since yesterday and I was like WOW, cuz I drove to San Jose for some grub and work and back etc, so I am rethinking the whole SUV thing, maybe gonna want a car, not a FORD but a car. So I get there, I'm on the phone with my mom who has just had hernia surgery and has to pee alot and go inside to claim my POS and he notices I have a Tony Stewart lunch bag. Its the orange and black with 20 on it and says he is gonna charge me extra because he is a Jeff Gordon fan. Well, it is my fault that I carry a Nascar lunch bag, I mean I really am not that big of a redneck, it just holds a 6 pack for hubby to take to Darlington for the race on my birthday May 9th which we never spend together- anyways. Got the truck back and need a new lunchbox with the new 14 Tony Stewart red on it. Thank god, I didnt get a tattoo.!!!

AND AGAIN>>>

So I take my car to Ford today so they can test the transmission that they put blue dye in and ohhhh low and behold, there is a leak.. No really, so I am driving a midget ford focus that I can barely fit into and it has Ford courtesy car all over it. Seriously, and I have to pay more money to get it fixed. However after driving it, it does hall assssss and I think I may want a sports car, I mean I really dont need a SUV, no kids or anything. so well see. But it aint gonna be a FORD sports car!!! Thanks Laura for taking me to drop it off an to Alicia for taking me to get the rental car...I love ya.... i dont have a real pic, but its blue and lots of writing on it
