yep-- it's true :))

i've only been tryin to get this post up for maybe two or three hours---
obviously-- it's a beatiful day in the neighborhood here this morning. (not)

but--- coming soon to a blog near you--- will be another soul/jamie post--or posts. this time -- from none other than sin city.
and trust me.. i'm ready to sin-- a little-- within reason. :))

so- yes, the soulman and i -
will be on our way in a few short ( i hope ) weeks-



to meet with simonsays/jamie--
and her hubby and family-



for, what i hope to be a few soulkid-less days-
in las vegas !



i sooo hope it happens-
we have talked about this for several months-
but with her job stuff, and moving,
and on my end-- money crap -
and soulkid crap-
and medical crap-
and crap upon crap upon crap-
we just weren't sure if or when it would really happen.


but-
yesterday morning, she confirmed her end of it-
that she had already dumped a small fortune on their reservations-

so now-- it's my turn.
:))
that's where i now have to scramble.

because, for starters, i have totally screwed us financially;
well-- not alone- but the damage is done.

which leaves us , literally starting from zero dollars to get
quite a large chunk of change built up to be able to go.
i think we can manage to save a bit-- i hope it will be enough.

and secondly--
(if that's even a word)

someone we all know and want to spank-
yes-- the soulkid :))
has decided to find herself in some bad situations
over the summer-

whick kinda leaves us in a bind of who we can trust to leave her with
for a few days when we go-

WTF- is with the sudden underlining???
dammit.

sooooooo
if all works the way we want it to--
we will have the visit of all visits-
because the few that she and i have had so far-
have been very short.
by the time we recover from the drive-
it's time to go again.
this time we will have three full days-
so it better happen or i will be one bitter old haggy soul




and with that---
i'm off to see my head shrinker---

maybe if i'm lucky-
she might give me happy pills :))


have happy days today-
i'm gonna try
even if it's illegal- immoral- or insane-
ok-- i doubt i even know how to do any of that stuff-
but maybe i'll take a nap and dream i do.
:))

Cheryl said...

I can't wait for you to go to Vegas and have a fabulous time. It will be just what you need.

Boy oh boy could we talk about the girls. Tonight's been good...I was expecting the worst. Why do they do this to us? Both of us would do anything for our girls and what do we get in return? OK. I'm done. You know.

SOUL said...

ac--
oh i think we'll manage--
i just need to cook more, smoke less, and stop the squandering of funds !
should be easy enough :)) riiiight. i am my mothers' daughter.
maybe i should take some kinda economics class?
or get to hiring that financial manager person i keep talkin about. i really don't know how to handle money very well.
i realized last night-- i should have like 7000.00 or more in savings-- i have 23.00 -- *TEAR*.
oh well.. someday i'll learn. maybe.

happy weekend-

SOUL said...

smocha--
i'm sorry i'ma slackah--

i can't get my sleepin right.
up late sleep late-- up late up early-- nap early-- asleep early out early- you know the drill-- i have no schedule. or routine.
hopefully next week i can work on some type of normalcy or routine .. and get back back to posting by 4 or 5 again.
we shall see.
i know-- i have failed my peoples.
i'll work on that.
:))

i'll have to think of what to write-- and post in a few. k...

Mary said...

I'm really late. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas - so the commercials say. Not so, I want to hear all the details. I'm so happy you and Jamie can get together for a few days - you'll both enjoy it. It will be good for both of you.

Teens are certainly a challenge. Wouldn't it be good if we could just cage them until they're 21? Thank you, Lord, I lived through them. Hang in there.

SOUL said...

guten morgen mary!
better late than never --so they say :))

i never understood the vegas commercial-- makes it seem so "bad".-- or is that why they call it "sin city"?
anyhow-- you KNOW we'll both be blabbin all about it when we get back--
hell, our hubbys' are goin, how bad can we be...
ummm.. don't answer that :))

ya.. teens---

bury em at twelve-- dig em up at twenty-one--

that's the best line i've heard yet!

happy weekend!
