Geez, it' very long.... I think u wrote more this weekend than I have in my whole life (actual handwritten that is...)! I'll be reading bits and pieces...whew tired... up to page 4...i think....

SOUL said...

well...i figured not many would want to, or have time to read it straight thru...it IS alot..hell it's THREE days!
anyhow... i just ran thru it...found lots of mistakes...double pages, missing pages etc. i think it's all good to go now.
geesh. i don't think i'll be doing that agin. next time... i'll just take notes or try to remember stuff. i'm already exhausted !
ok..goin to cruise around blogland now.

SOUL said...

hi girls... yep, i just read it myself...and i am BLIND TOO!!! i didn't time it though..i bet it took me longer. i don't read very fast...and i apologize for the sloppy writing...but don't say i didn't warn ya! :))

anyhow... yes, i do miss my kid. i just don't know what to do with myself. my entire life for the passed thirteen years has revolved around HER. OMG. i'm already frantic. well, ok, NOT frantic. i just don't know what to do with myself. arg!

Hi Soul Sis! I just did my "24 minutes" and loved every bit of it. OMG, I can't believe you sat and wrote that much!! If I have to write one or two pages by hand my hand is screaming and cramping up. The amazing part is that your handwriting is so legible - mine certainly wouldn't be after the first sentence. Your dedication to blogging inspires me! Ahh yes, we MUST write or we explode. :-) I know if I go away now, I'll be sitting there with my notebook and pen, just like you! I never would have thought of scanning in pages - very clever soul sis!

This whole trip sounds like quite an adventure, and I've heard of pressure put on at time-share sale pitches, but that was ridiculous - more like torture!! I hope you do call corporate on Ms. Bitch and good for hubby for saying "enough"!

Loved it that your brother in law caught such a nice fish, even if it didn't get recorded. He obviously had a good time, and the guys fished their hearts out. Did you ever catch a good one?

The drives, that part doesn't sound like fun at all. I also totally panic about getting lost, and am obsessive about good directions and maps. Heavy traffic - forget it, I would park and cry! I am a small town girl and don't do that crazy stuff!!

Delighted you had some time to do some serious visiting with your daughter. A change of environment is great for that! I know you are going to miss her terribly, but try not to let on when you call, or it will just make her homesick too. Encourage her to have a great time here in Hell, NM! :-)

I LOVE all your goals for the ten days! Do whatever turns out to be fun, and absolutely GO FISHING! Grandpa Bass is still out there waiting for you!

Try a strong mixture of OxyClean solution on the car carpeting - then leave all the doors open until it dries thoroughly. That stuff is wonderful for taking out pet stains, odors, mildew, you name it! My daughter taught me that, and I've never found better!

Time to get moving here, doctor appointment in a bit. Catch you later Soul, have a GREAT DAY!!!

hiya josie...
i can't believe you call that chicken scratch "legible" . :}

yes pen blogging. how primitive huh?
but yes... write or explode. i am that way.
i didn't write all that in one sitting by the way. that was over a few days, and sittings.

one more "road trip" and i'll explode too!!! OMG ...

park and cry! i've done that! i hate to go anywhere anymore!
y'all have good days.

anybody seen jamie?

JAMIEEEEE where are you!

Jamie said...

Okay, I made it through MOST of what you wrote, girl---you are a devoted blogger! Try NOT to worry to much about your kiddo being at her grandmas for too long, she will have a great time, and you will have worried for nothing. I know how it feels to have them gone, though, and it is hard. Try to enjoy it----you might be surprised that you could have a little "fun" without her there----have sex in the kitchen or something......teehee.....

SOUL said...

jamie you crack me up!
sex in the kitchen. ya, i remember those days. hmmmm. lol
or perhaps... finally on the boat!!!
LOL i'm gettin outta here...
have a good day

EE said...

Wow! I think it took me a half an hour to read that post:)
Sounds like you all had a good time. I think my husband would have lost it with that saleswoman...people turn those things down all the time...it's not like you're the first!
I know you will miss your daughter, but i think the break will do you good..make you all appreciate each other more.
Later...
