10 Things I Could Do (But Probably Won’t) Tomorrow
Seriously Weird | Posted by Jannie on 3 November 2009 @ 4:07 PM 73 Comments
1. Get a haircut unlike any I’ve ever had. Maybe something like this…
2. Hang out in a cafe all day writing in my Moleskine and looking mysterious in a long black knit dress and a hat like this…

3. Hang out at Austin’s Driskill Hotel drinking margaritas, eating fine food and making new friends.
3. Hang out at the airport (until I get booted out) with an official-looking clipboard, asking strangers if they blog and if they do, hand them my business card.
4. Hang out at the bus station (until I get booted out) with an official-looking clipboard, asking strangers why they’re taking the bus and not driving or flying. (Be prepared for long rambling answers and / or marriage proposals.)
5. Hang out at a park all day doing nothing but going up and down the tallest slide, being careful not to bowl too many toddlers over.
7. Cook a 7-course meal to surprise my family.
8. Hike in unmarked woods with nothing in my backpack but 5 waters, 4 beers, 3 donuts, 2 jumbo packs of beef jerky, 1 roll of “bathroom tissue,” hand sanitizer, 2 extra bras, my new iPhone and my Burt’s Bees lip balm with zinc.
9. Take the earliest possible flight to NYC to spend the day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the stained glass rooms. Also, hang out in the Ancient Egypt rooms looking mysterious in my silver lame unitard and another kind of hat, like this…

And be home in time to tuck Kelly in at 9:00.
10. Stay in bed reading nothing but blogs all day, getting up only to powder my nose, snag more Almond Joys from the freezer, champagne from the fridge and accept the pizza delivery.
And you? What are some things you could do tomorrow, but probably won’t?

I love this idea for a post. I would love to accompany you to NYC and hang out at the MET!
Tomorrow, I could rake up the ankle deep leaves in our backyard so they can be picked up with the yard waste. But…I’m going to take a stab in the dark as I sit on the sofa under blankets and say “probably not.”

I could paint a beautiful landscape, accompanied by the soothing voice of Bob Ross, master of the Happy Little Trees.
I think I will do that.

Jannie,
This got funnier and funnier the further I read. I can join you in no. 3.
And your second no. 3 is hilarious as well. We’ll have a contest to see who gives out the most.
No. 8 I love hiking, beer, hate beef jerky so I’ll bring along marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers. When we get lost we’ll make a fire and have S’mores.
No. 10 let’s do this together. Seems like that’s all I do anyway right down to the Almond Joys.
Other things I could do tomorrow but probably won’t:
Use my coupons before they expire. Clean the frig. Get a mani and a pedi. Get ahead by writing five articles for my blog!

the bus station sounds fun – and i doubt you’d get booted out. the tsa doesnt seem teribly concerned with bus terrorism (oddly enough). and #3 – you have blogsiness cards? awesome!
for me, i guess it’d be:
1. shave
2. pickle some eggs
3. speak in a thick but indiscernible accent
4. make blogsiness cards in case i run into you at the airport.

You’re going to be a fun person to hang out with. ^^ I would probably:
1. Go out and have another makeover done like last week. I dyed my hair a bit.
2. Look for a friend and hang out (mostly not going to happen since they’re all on day jobs)
3. Blog and blog.. and blog..
4. Play a bit of music and sing loudly until my neighbor ask me to shut up
5. Eat my favorite dessert while admiring the beauty of nature..
Can I sleep instead?

I like this post. The airport idea is probably a really good way to promote your blog. I might have to *ahem* borrow that idea.
None of your images worked for me, which is a shame because I REALLY wanted to see the picture of the haircut. lol.

Hey Jannie,
Okay, I’m with Tess on #8 (and I like both s’more and jerky – so it’s a win win for me!)
I think tomorrow will be filled with crazy fun for you…
I could…
-bike to work (in the dark) (yikes!!)
-dress in drag when we take a youth group bowling tomorrow night
-drive my car in reverse everywhere I go tomorrow
Hmm….

Love it! How fun would it be to do those impromptu surveys? I wish you lived closer so we could don our hats and our Super Survey capes and really have some fun.
I have my wish list of things I could do and things I know I’ll never do (but wish I could) and I’m smiling just thinking about them.
Thanks, Jannie, for always making me smile. xoxoxo

If you do go in the unmarked woods, you might have to pack popcorn too — you’ll need something to leave a trail.
Normally I’m not a fan of Almond Joy’s but if we’re talking frozen, along with some champaign and pizza too, then that actually sounds pretty good.

My son-in-law shaved his head, and started growing sort of a beard, but my daughter nipped that in the bud; made him shave, and began to let the hair grow back–now he looks like a boot camp feller.
I tried to link to the haircut and the special hat, but all I got was “Jannie is sorry, but there is a mistake here and no image will appear.” Now the Driskill Hotel link worked great; what a neat looking place! If Melva and I ever get to Austin, we will have to check it out for sure. Is there a Funster corner or Jannie table there we can look for? I think I’ve seen your business card. You sent them out with the CD orders, right? The Big Eye cards, right? They are cool. You are the very best at self promotion, I must say. Perhaps you should hook up with Michael Moore for his next film; FUNSTERVILLE: The Real America. The airport, the bus station, and the park will never be the same. People will show up for weeks looking for that lovely looney lady with the blondest locks, greatest smile, funky guitar, 137 pics of her daughter, and bra key chains.
My Melva is a good cook, but it bores her. After I retire next June, I’m considering taking some cooking classes, and taking that duty off her pretty shoulders; but 7 courses! Ooo la la! The unmarked piney woods are north of Houston, if I remember right. I can just see that tall tree you finally pick out to proudly wear the bra you will fling into it.
Tomorrow I will:
1. Finally dust all 30,000 of my DVD and VHS movies, so that my wife will get off my case.
2. Start back on the seefood diet, wolfing down donuts and beer four to five times a day.
3. Hang out at Krispy Kreme donuts all day, wearing dark glasses, an Australian bush hat, holding a clipboard, and handing out Jannie’s business card, while playing Jannie’s CD, I NEED A MAN at full volume, until I asked to leave the premises.
4. Find a pink bunny to keep blue bunny company. Even his blueness needs love, and sex to go with his kerrets, beer, and pretzels.
5. Write a poem about Funsterville that will win several prizes out there on the online chapbook contests.
6. Finally check out Lance’s blog site, cuz he seems like a cool dude. Anyone who crosses dresses for the boy scouts and wears pink a lot is a real man for sure.
7. Look up Jim’s car dealership on line and find out what kind of mobiles he peddles. Tried it once, but JAMES FUNSTER AUTO will not pick up a hit.

I wanted to see the hair. What I could do tomorrow but probably won’t — stay home and give the house the cleaning it hasn’t had in several weeks.
On 4 November 2009 at 10:57 am Heather Kephart said,
The links wouldn’t work for me either, dangit! And I was hooping to see Jannie with wild hair!
Love your ideas. I want to do them all too.
Also, I want to lounge around in a cabana on a warm, tropical beach drinking champagne and smoking. (Yes, smoking. I gave up a while back, but I really did enjoy it, and this is a fantasy, right?)

soak in a bath all day drinking champagne and then dine in one of the world’s top restaurants
dye my hair cherry red or perhaps black with malachite or lapus blue streaks
indulge in afternoon delights with a handsome man
buy a delightful piece of antique jewellery and to hell with the consequences
Wait a minute… I’ve already done 3 out of 4 of these things…

That was so nice of you to stop over to update me on those links. That’s a lot of running around for you and I do so much appreciate it. The feathery hat reminds me of one that my sweet gramma used to wear. She was a beautiful fiery redhead who worked at a bar for about 40 years, southern accent and such an attitude. Boy, I sure miss her.

I don’t think I could do this tomorrow, but I always wished I could be on a show like Survivor just so I could let my hair and beard grow out super long just to see what it would look like.

I could see that haircut on you, but I think in blue…yeah…blue would definitely flatter your gorgeous eyes.

Revel in the splendor of my new kitchen (if it were done)
Then tottle off to be pampered by my live in masseuse and nail technician
And get one of those 1-hour drop a couple hundred pounds procedures
Have coffee and all manner of delicious foods with the Funster for brunch, which would go by too quickly and turn into a fabulous lunch
Tell her about my dream last night of having my old original hair color back and how young I looked, not that I am old now because I am so not old
Then laugh with the Funster at the impossible hairstyle she has chosen
Have to dash because I’m having tea in England with Rod Stewart, promptly at 4- I would too.
Rod and I would laugh hysterically at all the techno gadgets that have been developed since he was a child (he is much, much older than I) we would sing just to make the Funster jealous and he tell me he would mention my name on his next lounge lizard CD
Be wonderfully totally exhausted from the time travel, when I reached home and fall lusciously into my own bed with my scrumptious Beloved
see what happens when don’t give me your bloginess card
or something like that; thanks for the journey, Jannie

…
Now, back to my regularly scheduled blogging before i realized I had broken links and not only those wackadoo hair and hats ones, but my 3 precious buttons at teh top of my right sidebar. But hey, it’s all about learning and wearing teh correct shoes for teh occasion. And being so lazy I’m not even goign to correct those teh typos… So now you know The Real Me!
MOMISODES!! Those leaves will take care of themselves, teh wondrous beauty of nature in recycling action.
K! Yes!! And teh Almond Joys??
JANB!! Any guy who is master of littel happy trees is a freind of mine!
TESS!! I hate beef jerky too but it seems a good survival food? And let’s take opposite street corners on the business card scheme, okay?
VERED!! I did make them a 3 course meal once… hotdog bun. hotdog. Ketchup!
JOAQUIN!!! You CRACK ME UP! You rock! I actually need to get new bloginess cards made up.
PATRICIA!! My waldorf apples rolled off the table and out of teh door and then them poor apples, they wuz no more.
CHING YA!! What’s your new hair color? What’s your favorite dessert?
TREY!! Sorry, ’bout those but as I mentioned , I fixed ‘em! Meet you at Gate 16?
LANCE!! Get a big searchlight installed on teh front of your bike. You’d erase miles from your car’s odometer driving backwards — do it!!!
TALON!! My cape is silver lame to match my Me unitard. What’s yours?
LYNN!! Airport surveys show teh yoga head move is best done while swilling champagne from a curly straw.
CARLA!! I suggest you time-travel to teh Louvrre for a day, I am a big fan of that.
SNAG!! Dont’ do I I do when last I twiddled my toes — they ended up in teh soup.
J.D.!! I eets most candy bars frozen. I do miss teh Canadian ones tho — Oh Henry, Mr Big, Wonderbar, boo, hoo,hoo.
YAYA!! And my mind is only getting warmed up! Can you handle it?
G!! Have you done ever that before?? Do tell!
CAROL!! If you drink beer at 9:00 a.m. as I do, some of these might come to you!
GLENN!! Miachel Moore is in love with me, but don’t tell anyone, okay?? FUNSTERVILLE!! That so rocks. Your comment cracked me up, of course. Sadly, Blue Bunny lost his “parts” in a bizarre knitting accident, and has no feelings in his (her?) nether regions.
DOT!! Hope you came back and saw the corrected links?? Wow, only not cleaned in weeks? I haven’t in MONTHS.
HEATHER!! If I ever went back to smoking it would not of of the tobacco kind, in Canada we partook of medicinal carrot tops, if ya know what I mean.
MILADYSA!! You naughty wonderful thing! And what aroma would your after-bath skin lotion be? Kelly and I bought clip-on blue hairs streaks.
LANE!! Is that XR 71 started by turning a crank, pulling a rip-cord or jump-starting a rabid squirrel?
JANNIE!! whoo-hoo
JANB!! When I first read your comment I thoguht it read she worked out at a bar. I can’t wait to be a grand-ma with firery red hair and a feathr-y hat.
TALON!! Thank for coming back, it was a real eye-opening on how NOT to do those links. Blue it will be, blue exactly like this background.
CLARE!! Welcome! How did you find me? Teh last tiem I wnet to a bus station I got 5 marriage proposals in 29 minutes!
PATRICIA!! Pizza! I want pizza!! And champagne, right now, here at the library! Why not? Teh guys in teh corner are swilling beer.
PAIGE!! Why don’t we just stay at teh restaruant from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. I did that once at a bar in college, more of a tavern relaly. Please dont ‘drop a couple hundred pounds, you’d be down to -50, and probably not a very healthy look for you.
These typos I give you all, my loves, with unapologetic abandon.

I love your list!
Some things I could probably do tomorrow but won’t:
1. Shave my legs. (No one’s checking them out these days, so why waste a razor?)
2. Dust my apartment.
3. Get started on my second book. (I’ll do that… next week!)
4. Call my friend who offered to redesign my blog and get the whole thing switched over to Wordpress again, which is where I started and was happier. (Oh wait, maybe I will do that one tomorrow… otherwise I might owe Typepad money… Sheesh, I need to look into that pronto!)
That’ll do me for now. What a fun list to think about; almost as fun as imagining what I’d look like in a silver lame leotard whilst browsing Egyptian art in a NY museum. (Imagine if we had a group of us show up like that?!)
Happy Wednesday!

Jannie,
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is below. Please note that it’s crucial to follow these instructions. Any deviation from them, however small, could result in your blog exploding. None of us wants that!
To help you consolidate, I propose some modifications to your list. Here’s your assignment if you think you can swing it:
A) Get the haircut from #1 and then wear the hat from #2. Be sure to have both that hair-do and that hat at the same time. Timing is everything. Wear this ensemble in the hotel mentioned in #3!
B) Forget the airport & bus station from the next two steps. You can do all your clipboard/blog work at the Driskill. In fact, it might even boost your odds of getting kicked out there and you seem to have a secret desire to be tossed from establishments willy-nilly. I personally think Driskill will throw you out the fastest. Don’t worry! Blogging gets more popular every day. So, you’ll collect plenty of data before they kick you to the curb. Who needs the extra driving around to the other stops?
C) Keep the park step in your plan. All work and no play makes Jannie a dull Funster. Be gentle with the toddlers.
D) Nah, your family loves you no matter what! Their unconditional love is so vast that a 7-course meal is not necessary to win their affections! Save yourself an enormous amount of energy/time and skip this step. Stop at KFC and be sure to grab some sporks for Kelly. (Yes, I remember the sporks). Besides, let’s be honest… you surprise your family every day with something, do you not? Not necessarily food-related stuff but just your general spontaneous Jannie Funster-ness is plenty surprising, no??
E) Hmm. Yeah, take a hike (in a nice way, of course). I’d leave the beer behind (too heavy). I’d cut the water down to 2 (I trust the hike won’t be long enough to need 5). Keep the donuts. Eeeww to the beef jerky. Absolutely to bringing “bathroom tissue,”/hand sanitizer. For sure to bringing the 2 bras because obviously you’ll strategically fling them as you hike! The new iPhone for sure… That way you can call for help when you’re too tired to hike back thanks to eating too many donuts. Burt’s Bees lip balm with zinc sounds helpful for the Austin sun.
F) Sadly, I don’t see how you can take this NYC journey and be back in time to be with Kelly. Besides, the 2nd hat is just plain silly.
G) Aha. In bed all day in blog-land? Hmm. You may want to skip A-F and head right to G, no? That would be my first thought. I’d skip the Almond Joys, though. Not a coconut fan.
What WILL I do tomorrow? Well, it’s far too much to type for sure! I’ll pick 1 thing to spend some time thinking about tomorrow… how I can be the 2nd blogger you meet “in real life”. Where there is a will, there is a way!
What COULD I do tomorrow? Hmm. Become the first full body transplant patient (with no rejection issues), make medical history, and leave chronic illness/pain in the dust… Then write my memoirs without battling terrible pain to do it. Basically help others by sharing my memories of chronic illness… not my current perception of it. Not likely to happen tomorrow, though.

If I could tomorrow I would…..
1. Let my husband give me the haircut he has been itching to try (buzzcut on #1). Don’t ask I have no idea why.
2. Stay in my jammies all day watching reality shows or reruns of my favorite House episodes.
3. Hop on a plane and head to San Diego to visit my brother and newphew.
Instead I will be getting up at 5am to study for an hour then get ready to head to work. Be at work by 7:30 and do my thing until 4:30. Come home study for another hour, eat dinner, watch television, go to bed. The next day…. repeat.

I love that hat! I almost bought a similar one about ten years ago. My Mom and I were being silly, trying on hats in the department store. It was the only hat that ever looked good on me. But it felt too macabre to buy it and hope for a funeral to wear it to, so I let it at the store.

Jannie — thanks to no humidity out here, my former curly hair is now all straight and straggly, so I COULD shave my head and start over . . . and campground signs tell me I should teach my dog to NOT bark when a bear is nearby . . . I’ve lost layers of skin due to arid climate and should be moisturizing twice daily. . . nonetheless, I’ll probably ONLY do the moisturizing thing

…
MEGAN!! I like putting things off until tomorrow too. I hope it goes great with Wordpress, I like it a lot. It took me a little getting used to, but it’s been more than worth it.
AARDVARKER!! Welcome to these here parts. To tell you the truth I haven’ been to the Driskill since Easter 2000 when I got to be the big hot bunny on the balcony. I’m due for a visit.
WADE!! I’ll e-mail you to set up lunch. Maybe more like Schlotsky’s than the Driskill, tho.
SHEILA!! I’ll go for the haircut and color if you will! Actually, I’ve kept my hair like this for a long. long time, 16 years or so.
YAYA!! Did you sleep well last night knowing the hat truth??
I know you can take most anything but I’ll try not to get too wild over here, okay??
JEANN!!! So with my red asymmetrical hair, my crab hat and my official-looking clipboard I shall get bounced from the Driskill. I’ll have a tall slide installed there to go up and down repeatedly. I’ll order in KFC. Then we’ll all go hiking to NY with no toilet paper. (Better bring 5 or 6 bras just in case.) But WAIT… this has all been just a dream. I think I must’ve passed out from champagne and Almond Joy intoxication. But what a great dream because I was up at your house and you took me on a 10-mile jaunt on the back of your ride-on mower (and that was just around the periphery of your property.) And dear, dear Jeanne, I so do wish you your request of a complete body transplant — just keep your own heart, mind and soul, okay?!? Okay!!
SNAG!! Really? Hat 2? Or how about this one… http://www.flogfolioweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/rainbow-crazy-hat.jpg
STEPH!! Yo, and a hearty welcome back. Do you like my new fancy yellow hilighting to my comments? Pretty kick-ass, huh?
I love the jammies tv idea, but I have never watched House. I guess it’s a good one, many love it. I used to love The Waltons, I’d watch that.
JANNIE!!
HEATHER!! If you look as good in hats (as I imagine,) as Lily does, you’ll be even more of a pretty picture than I already carry of you around in my head and heart. You could’ve bought it to wear for the “Stomping Of The Divots.” http://ic2.pbase.com/v3/43/416543/2/44715819.pbasejune11peopleCopyofJune112005208.jpg
JEANNE!! My dog is trained not to bark when there’s a politician in the room but he’s chomping every minute, let me tell you! Curel – that’s supposed to be a good one. YOUR CD!! Shoot. Tomorrow it will be posted and that’s a promise!!
NADIA!! Making you laugh is my life’s goal and every waking (and slumbering) moment shall everafter be lived with that purpose in mind. I’ve never been to Hawaii. Did you live there?

Hmmm, don’t like that one for some reason-
I’ll just stick with my brown leather. Someday, I might even get a pic of it… (not today- all batteries are officially dead).

Glenn,
I’m thinking about donning pink again this weekend (am I messed up or what) – oh, wait – this is supposed to be cool things that I probably WON’T do!! Oops…
Jannie,
Tomorrow I’m staying home. So I could put on that straightjacket we have from…oh, well, no need to get into the details…okay, let’s forget I started this. Where’s the delete button anyway…what, it won’t work…I’m in trouble now….

Can you still say “Put it where the sun don’t shine ” on a nude beach?

Hi Jannie, you know, this is the first time I am getting your name right. I have always spelled and pronounced it as Janine.
You know thing one I would WANT to do tomorrow but can’t? Call my boss and tell him how full of himself he is, how working with him is like living in hell and how I don’t need his paycheck any more.hehe

Yay! The links are working. ^^ So I’m back as you told me to, thanks so much for dropping by and let me know.
Well, nothing fancy, just lighten up the color a bit – red. It’s not too obvious unless I stand underneath a strong light. Maybe next time I should be bold a bit. ha.. but I think it’ll take me a lot of courage to look like the haircut you showed.
Dessert – anything that’s sweet! Ice cream can be my favorite; love cheese cakes too, chocolate… =P

Well that’s an outside-the-box traffic building idea. You may be a fitting co-author for SEO SUPER-SAVVY-SECRETS PART II! (Seriously, we should write a satirical SEO e-book)
Here’s another — go out and play a gig as a street musician (or breakdancer or living statue, depending on your mood), and then when people look in the guitar case to give you money there will just be a stack of blog business cards with a “take one” sign.

Jannie — You come with the most fun things to do or think of. Here are my ideas:
host a big dress up dance, based on the Regency period. Like this picture http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/1812vaux.jpg
go play a game of paint ball
wear a long haired wig to a friend’s party and see how long it takes for someone to say something about it (I have very short hair)
find an empty ballroom and do the waltz by myself to Josh Groban’s “So she dances.” This song makes me love the waltz all over again.
get fingerpaints and throw them on a large sheet of paper and then dance barefooted on the paper. Wait a minute, this one actually sounds like fun…I might consider this!
Thanks Jannie, you might have given me something to do on Saturday:~)

SNAGGLETEETHS!! Do you have an Indiana Jones hat??? Or more of a beanie sort of leather hat? Fedora? Cowboy hat? Please get back here soon as I may not be able to sleep until I hear your answer. Sorry ’bout your batteries. You use rechargeables?
LANCE!! You taking that camera to Chicago??? If pink is donned we expect to see you from at least 3 different angles, and preferacly a whole-body shot of you in your rose-hued glistening glory! Um-kay?? And I MUST have all your straight-jacket details. M.U.S.T.!!! You tell your rubber room story and I’ll tell mine.
HOTSPOT SHIELD!! You’re darn tootin’! Unless it’s overcast or raining of course on the nude beach. Wait! Does that make sense??
GH BLOGGER!! I LOVE your idea. But get a great new job lined up first,,okay? Them let him have it — he’ll either fire you or double your salary! And if you are really hating your job, walk through a new life door. Things have a way of always working out great, even after a bump in the road or 10. Oh, and about Janine — not a prob. I have folks who’ve known me for years and still call me Janie. Just don’t call me late for Thanksgiving Dinner, okay?? Cool!
CHING YA!! Have you ever tried blonde? You look so pretty – I think you would shine in any color at all. And I’m soooo glad you came back and were able to see the links correctly! It actually worked out quite well for me, as I now have a new link idea in mind for this blog! (To make me millions and millions…. well make me maybe a few extra blog dollars a year.) Yay!!!! After the rain always a rainbow.
CHRIS EDGAR!!!!! You are full of such amazingly GREAT ideas. (I’d be bad at the statue idea as I tend to, well, um, let’s not go there today Jannie.
But yes, the business card idea rocks. Jannie Funster and friends — coming soon to a street corner near you! And hey, you’re the e-book guy, I can perhaps supply some content but I am not up for the technical aspect of it. Mmm-kay??
SARA!! WONDERFUL, SARA!!! YOU have come up with the most wonderful things to do too! Well,I just let my mind wander sometimes and there I go — into strange-but-happy land.
LOVING that dance photo. Wherever did you find it? Is it one you already knew, I’ve never seen it. Bet your friends would notice Right Away about your wig! “So She Dances” if that’s not the song about “I’ll Dance With Cinderella,” I do not know it. Post a pic of your fingerpainted footpainting, okay, will ya??

I won’t get a haircut tomorrow because I did today. I could start my school course, but most likely won’t.
Ps: Don’t do that haircut….. I’ll pick out your haircut. :-p

hehehe! I think you should have the pink hair and the hat, together!
A seven course meal sounds delightful, and those are good items to put in your backpack for a hike. I take lip balm with me wherever I go!
Missing you! xoxoxo

ROSE!! Did you get a new do? Or a trim?? And just what hair cut would YOU choose for Jannie?? What school course???
BELLA!! Whoa! Welcome back. I Missed YOU too! How’s all that sleepping with sea glass going?
DEBBIE!! Or maybe I could cook pink foods and try out 7 new haircuts!
LYNN!!! Thanks so much. And a happy Saturday to you too. You having a great one??
PAIGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! Thank you sooooooooo much for nominating me. What a total wonderful surprise. I never ever dreamed I could ever be nominated for that. THANK YOU!!! And of course I’ll tell Blue Bunny to vote for you because yours truly is one of the best blogs I know. Thank you again.
JANNIE!!
THOMMA LYN!! Hello, Sweetie. How high above sea level are you? And do you think your altitude makes your lips drier? And what would you have in YOUR back-back besides your lip balm?? I’m guessing paper and pen, at least!

I’m supposed to use Lithium Batts, but I’m doing cheapo alkaline so they run out fast-
My hat is inbetween a cowboy n fedora, can be bent either way- Good for sunshade n keeps off the rain too- From “South of the Border” in South Carolina from my road trip to FL from MA 8 years ago. Have definately gotten my money’s worth out of it- ($10)

JASON!! I so apologize for missing you on the comment reply up there. It happens from time to time, glad I caught it. I guess getting all unkempt in your current life would be a no-no??
LYNN!! It was s lovely surprise to see you pop in up there. We were watching about the Marietta water park on tv earlier and I thought of you. Sleeping in is great indeed– just be careful to not get ” sleep drunk”.
SNAG!! That sounds like one super awesome hat to have indeed. Finds like that are what makes the world go around. I bought a blue felt hat 14 years ago I still wear a lot in winter.

Hey!! What’up up y’all?
Me just sitting here with allergy eyes but the al fresco lunch was ace.
Anyhoo…
CAITY!! Well, this post idea just popped out of me one morning. I think I should do a sequel, eh?
ROSE!! I was just musing to myself yesterday at how I miss the Travelfest stores and if one still existed I’d pop by and pick upon of those passport holders to hang my iPhone around my neck.
MILADYSA!! Whoo-hoo!! Ever and ever more intriguing is your idea. I’d make mine Jaason’s raspberry lotion, what a zest it has!! It’s so good I wish I could drink it.

Did I just hear a business opportunity for you, Jannie?! You just never know right? ha.. it just may work out, who knows?
Blonde..hmm.. I always have some doubts seeing that on Asians, doesn’t seem ‘natural’. =P I prefer brunette though, or brownish.. Someday I would love to have a complete makeover. Try out something new. You think Kelly will help us in our shopping? LOL…

um…get a massage though I would super duper like one. But now that I have said it I will make the call…so now I need another one. I will probably not but could fly little parachute plastic men out the window with my kids tomorrow.
How about you? Do you think you might wear and umbrella hat this week and take a picture and send it to me for my blog if I sent you said Umbrella hat?

CHING YA!! My good friend from Japan has dark brown hair and she gets red in it, which looks very nice. Did you ever try to “Yearbook Yourself?” Those are COMPLETE makeovers. Yes, Kelly will be up for shopping ANY time! ANYwhere!
KATIE!! Do you have those little Bend-O parachute people? Last week one of those flew from a 44 story building and knocked my sunglasses right off and a squirrel snagged them and ran off with them. I have umbrella hats in 104 different happy shades.
