T.G.I.F!!
Hi everybody! Checking in to see how everyone is doing. Not much going on in my world except work.
Alicia, I agree with you. I would hate for Gary to talk to me that way. You could see the anger on his face. I thought it was crazy of her to represent herself in court. Glad that part is over for him.
Jules, seems like you have not gotten many concerts in this year compared to last year. Did they put more responsibility on you at work? Hope you get more free time soon.
Kalen, your cat story was too funny. As long as he is not hurt we can laugh about it, right!
Courtney, good luck with the wedding!
Have a good weekend everybody!

Im so cranky right now. My bosses got in one of their moods where they choose one employee to gang up on and give a hard time...that person was ME! I have to go back in an hour to put up with it all over again...yipee for me!
I hope everyone else is having a better Friday than I am!
At least I get tomorrow morning off which means I get to hang out with Bo...which means a WAY BETTER MOOD!!
Well...Im going to go try to cheer myself up by shoveling a bowl of ice cream into my mouth! I will talk to yall later!

I agree--ice cream can be very comforting!
I took my sons shopping today. I bought myself a new top and a pair of slacks and both only cost $12!. I bought my older son 2 shirts and my younger son a dress shirt and a pair of shoes. Then we went out for lunch. It was nice to have the 3 of us spend time together.
Well, I guess I'll go see what's on TV. Night all.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far...anyone who has shows this weekend, have a great time!
The ice cream did help out my mood a little yesterday.

Im thinking Im about to eat some for breakfast....start the day off on a high note! lol
Connie....congrats on the great deal on your clothes and having a great time shopping with your sons! Usually shopping with guys is not a fun ordeal.
Speaking of TV....is summer over yet??? I love Summer....but the TV selection during this time BITES! We need our fall schedule back.

Jul 25 2009, 08:37 AM
Happy Saturday!
Alicia, did you have ice cream for breakfast? I think shopping went so well because all 3 of us split up and went our separate ways. Then when they found what they wanted, they called me and I met them at that particular store. We covered more ground and everyone just went to the stores they wanted. It worked out great.
I have no plans for today. I may do some yard work or just read a book. Who knows?
Enjoy your day, everyone!
Connie

Jul 26 2009, 07:53 AM
Oh Connie! good game plan on the shopping! I will keep that in mind if I ever have kids.
I ended up getting the day off today...WOO HOO!! Bo spent the night last night....he is still sleeping right now while Im here chatting with yall (probably need to go wake him up though).

I get to spend the whole day with him.
Well....I really have nothing more to say for now! I will try to check in again later.
Countryrocker
Jul 26 2009, 05:31 PM
Alicia, congrats on getting the day off--that's always a great thing! Hope you and Bo had a nice day together.
I stayed home all day. I did a little yard work, started reading a book, and grilled out burgers and hotdogs for supper. Just a lazy day.

Jul 26 2009, 08:16 PM
Hey Junkies! Just checking in super quick because I'm so tired. I'm ready to get in bed already!!!! I watched my niece and nephew last night and today and they seriously put a hurtin' on me. It reaffirmed my life long desire of NOT WANTING KIDS! By about 3 today I seriously thought I was going to lose it with them.
Where are our Brooklyn gals????
I watched the channel 5 video tonight of Gary in court and he should have been cold with that crazy! I mean, it's downright scary!!!! She's obviously nuts. I think it's funny Alicia and Barb imagined him saying that them. to my knowledge you all haven't repeatedly been to his house and damaged his property at his house. I think it'd be a little different if you all had. You all can't imagine it because we actually try to consider him as a human being when we're at his shows. Crazy does not! It's really scary I think. I mean, people like her have done far far worse things to people in the public.
Alright, I don't know if that even made any sense. I'm going to sleep now

howdy ya'll! hope everyone had a good weekend here!
sure was a busy one for me. had alot of chores inside & outside to do since i won't be here the next couple weekends. i did find a neighbor to take care of the outside chores for a couple weekends, so my mom doesn't have to worry about. just lookin for someone to do the indoor stuff too.
alicia~ohhh i would have loved to have a party here but well...friends around here...slim to none, or they are too busy with their families now. i've grown used to it. i've got alot on my plate now anyways, my folks can't do much anymore, so i do it instead 
barbara~i actually dont have many concerts at all. i've got more PBR or Challenger events this year, work is sorta getting in the way for traveling. plus filled most of my year with housesitting too, even after getting back from my trip in a couple weeks i'll have housesitting up until the next time i travel. LOL! more $$ for me 
connie~awesome shoppin trip! love it when you can find things ya need and not pay out the ....ya know for them.
kalen~hope you survived the rest of your day
and got some reason too!
howdy everyone else bren, joni, dor, joy, crystal, courtney...

Jul 27 2009, 06:19 AM
Kalen...it all made sense! lol Dont worry about it! Im glad to hear you had a
BLAST with your niece and nephew.

lol
The thing with imagining Gary saying those things to me....its just like at Kenny shows when girls get to "hands on" and he scolds them for it....I just couldnt imagine being on the other end of one of those looks! I would feel so horrible to be the reason for one of those looks. I guess I really am NORMAL. lol
Where are our Brooklyn girls at? Sue and Steph....where yall hiding at these days?
Jules, Im with you on not having any concerts for the year. I think my concert year is over for 2009. If something pops up then I might go....but at this point, I have nothing planned for the rest of the year.
Well...I got to get ready for work now. I have to work ALL DAY again. *rolls eyes*

Hiya Peeps!
Here we are, Brooklyn in the House! Or Brooklyn in the Office more accurately!
Sorry I've been MIA lately - I guess I've been busy but lord knows I can't remember a thing from last week. Work has been nutty but I pretty much leave work at work ya know? The summer is flying by eh? It's almost August and then we slide into September and fall.
Went to the beach on Saturday solo - highly recommended. Sometimes you just don't want to chat. Friday night was a friend's b day here in the city and it was more fun then I had anticipated.
I watched Bride Wars yesterday, anyone seen it? I enjoyed it - but it says a lot about their friendship. Why do movies do that with female friendships? It's either best buds for life, or Ill cut you in your sleep if you cross me.
Kalen - how old are your niece and nephew? Boy oh boy, kids just keep goin!
Alicia - awesome for your day off with your man!
Thursday is officially "Billy Currington Meets Me Day!" (or I meet him day, tomato/tomaaato) Who am I kidding? I won't go up to him. Joe's Pub makes it easy to meet them though, the bathrooms are like backstage so they're all just milling about. Dor met Jimmy Wayne that way but Steph wouldn't go - we are too shy.
I need coffee.

Where Brooklyn at! Where Brooklyn at! haha, sorry had to do it.
How is everyone doing? I haven't read back in the thread so I have no clue what is going on...
So I'm getting my apartment painted and new furniture is arriving tomorrow. I have been living out of boxes going on a week now bc we need to clear everything out for the painters to come. CHAOS cannot define what it has been like. I can't even find socks half the time. I actually want to come to work because at least it is peaceful here and I know where everything is.
Is everyone having a good summer so far?
Barbara
Jul 27 2009, 09:53 AM
Morning ladies!
Alicia, saw your ring and it is beautiful! Is it still considered a promise ring or is it more like an engagement ring? Inquiring minds want to know!
I really hope all the drama goes away and you and Bo can be happy. So I guess the Winstar concert is a NO for you? If so, I have someone one else who would like to use my other ticket if your not. It's still yours if you say yes but let me know for sure!
Speaking of the Winstar concert, I was there on Sunday and picked up my tickets I bought thru Winstar but they didn't have the fanclub ones yet. They did tell me that you pick up your fanclub tickets at GUEST SERVICES and NOT the box office. Thought I would let those going know that so you would not be standing in line at the box office for nothing.
Sue, you and Steph should try to meet Billy. He is a super nice guy and easy to talk to.
Kalen, glad you survived the niece and nephew. At least with them being your niece and nephew you can give them back. When they are yours that is not an option.
Connie, glad your boys went shopping with you even if they did go their own way. Mine won't go with me at all anymore, not even the grocery store.
Okay, back to work! Have a great day everybody!

HEY THERE GIRLS! HOPE EVERYONE HAD A NICE WEEKEND.
I had a great weekend off. My boyfriend and I were invited over to my brother's for burgers on Sat. night. It was Tim's first time meeting my brother and he was so cute when he was getting ready!He was a little nervouse about his first impression! Asking me what shirt to wear, which cologne, should he wear his boots or sandles, which belt should he wear? It was too cute! He was drinking a beer before we left and I told him my bro would probably put a beer in his hand when he gets there. He said "maybe I should marry him instead! " It was funny...guess you had to be there! Anyway, they hit it off really well. I knew they would. They are so much alike!
So, anybody know when Gary's new album will be out? I am so ready for a new one!

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYBODY!!!!
I had a pretty boring weekend...went tubing Saturday morning..it was an incredible day...just counting the days til my next Gary concert and my trip to Key West!!!
Sue, Steph, and DOr have fun with Billy Currington!!! and you guys better not chicken out in meeting him!!!
Alicia...beautiful ring!!! congrats!
Kalen...glad to hear you survived your nieced and nephew!!!
Jules..everytime I watch ice truck drivers..i think about you and winter time in Alaska...
Hello to everybody and have a great week!!!!

Jul 27 2009, 03:21 PM
Welcome back Sue and Steph!
Sue...definitely hang out by the bathroom to try and meet Billy...if he starts going into the bathroom just ask him politely if he needs any help with anything.
Vicki...congrats on the boyfriend. I heard a rumor that Gary's new album comes out in October? If that were true though...dont you think there would have been an official release already.
Barb...Im thinking Winstar is definitely not going to happen for me, so you can sell that ticket to someone else.
Oh, and its considered an engagement ring.

Well...Im off once again! I didnt have to work all day like I thought I was going to have to...so its off to take a nap them hang out with Bo.

Hey All...
Just finished watching The Bachelor...O.k. First let me say I have always been a ridiculously hopeless romantic. I can't help it , it's just a part of me.
So, "yes" I cried at the end!
Now in fairness...It wasn't anything that required Kleenex, more the sniffle type...and...I had been rooting for Ed the entire time. He was actually on my Top 10 list from the first show. Loved the part where she goes, "Ed better not &^&%** disappoint"! LOL!!!
Anywho...Haven't been on for ages, so I wanted to say "hey" to everyone...HEY EVERYONE!!! LOL!!!
Whitney...Welcome! Hope "your" wedding goes off without a hitch. I did the format thing one time with concert pictures. It was right after I got my new camera. I'm STILL in mouring for my pics!!!
Alicia...Very happy for you. Would be even happier if you could lose the drama. Even happier still if you could get the CW to put new episodes of Supernatural back on the air!
Connie...(Unless I'm missing it)...Pleased to see nothing new (in a bad way) about your son!
Sue, Steph & Dor...Billy's really nice. At least the time I met him. So, definately say "hi"...But don't do anything to him, 'cause he's 'pose to be playin' our State Fair on the 7th!
I think my asst. mang. and I must be on the same wave length. For some unknown reason she scheduled me for only half a day on Friday after next. I was a little annoyed until I realized that's BILLY day at the SFair...I've now got just enough time to get home, change, and get to Indy!!! Yeh, Boogie!!!
Sue & Steph...One day I will make it to N.Y.C. I've always wanted too, and I will be taking one of you up on your offer. I say "one of you" 'cause quite frankly I can't remember which one of you were "so kind"...LOL! Before I scare the other one, it was to show me the city, not camp out on your couch!!! LMAO!!!
Vicki...AWWWW!!!...and then there are days they're just worth keeping around!!!
Kalen...My niece & nephew are only 1yr old (they were born 4 days apart)...So, although they're mobile, they're easy to catch...LOL!!! The funniest thing is there's a hallway back to my bedroom. They both will do the same thing...They'll take off like someone's chasing them...Then, if they don't see someone coming after them, they stop in the middle of the hall until someone does...It's so cute!!! Oh, and my niece picks out her nail polish. She'll pick one out of the bucket...Look at it like it's the most important decision she'll ever make...drop it back in the bucket, and start again...She'll do this for like 10mins. I'm SO pround!!!LOL!!!
Everyone else once again...HEY!!!
I'm having "serious" "Concert Season" withdrawl...It's about to NOT be pretty!!! Come one State Fairs (In. & Ky.)...
Sweet Dreams or Good Morning...Whichever applies!!!

Jul 28 2009, 06:42 AM
Courtney....sorry about all your wedding drama. Best of luck for the actual day to go off without a hitch!
Laura...WOW! It has been a long time since you checked in with us! Welcome back!
As for the CW putting new eps of Supernatural on TV....I second that!! Though we have to remember...once it starts back up, thats one step closer to it being over FOR GOOD!! This next season is its last season.

I just really hope Jensen continues working after it is over...I dont want him to be one of those people that quits something good in hopes of something better....but instead falls way out of the spotlight and cant make it back.
Same goes for LOST....cant wait for it to be back, but the sooner it comes back means the sooner it is over FOR GOOD! Speaking of LOST....no Emmy's nominations again this year! Grrrrrrr!
Well....I hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Laura, come to NYC. We will live it up, haha. There's an open invitation for any of you guys.
What are the odds of me actually getting the guts to meet Billy? Slim to none!
Oh, I met a boy. A southern boy, right here in Brooklyn. Details to come...

Congratulations!Tim and I have been together since the end of March. We are going to get married but who knows when. Talk about your whirlwind romance! No ring yet, but the topic has been in discussion! Hell, all he has to do is say when and I'm there! I found me one hell of a good man and I'm not letting him go! I am hopelessly in love!
Courtney....don't worry girl! Everything will be just fine! I don't know of anyone who doesn't have some kind of wedding drama!! Lol! Some day you will look back on it all and laugh!
Steffie.....do tell, girl! Fill us in on the southern boy!!!

Wedding things are getting better..I am burning the Slide Show of our baby pics and stuff now...so that is nifty. It is currently pouring down rain here in OKC...and well I am hoping it doesn't continue thru Friday....Rainy wedding=no bueno!! My dress is finally fixed, dunno if I posted that yet or not...it was to tight in the bust but my future mother-in-law is a LIFE SAVER!! Tomorrow I am getting my nails done & my face waxed....then decorating...It is all hopefully going to continue to run smoothley...that would be nice...Thank you everyone for the kind word & messages on here & myspace...even though I don't always reply immediatley, I appreciate them!!!

Morning!
I literally bumped into him in Starbucks. Dirty blond hair and big blue eyes. He moved to NYC to go to business school at Hofstra University on Long Island. It's very, very early but I think I'm in trouble.

He's so different than any guy I have ever met. It came out of nowhere. I don't want to say too much yet, i don't want to jinx it.
Whitney, it's good that you are getting all the wedding drama out of the way so your special day will go off without a hitch. Congrats.
All this love is in the air on the board! It's great.

Jul 29 2009, 09:21 AM
Vicki...congrats on the boyfriend!! Bo and I have only been official for about 2 months.....but have been dating off and on for 10yrs! lol So I guess it could be considered a whirlwind romance.
Oh...for everyone that knows the story about Bo's ex girlfriend supposedly being pregnant...and we were all worried about it. SHE ISNT PREGNANT!! Woo hoo!!

Bo says that she NEVER was and was just lying....like some girls do in order to try and keep the guy around. Well he gets a text yesterday saying that she had a miscarriage....though she was supposed to be around 6months preggers, which if thats the case you have to have a funeral for the baby if you lose it. So she was just lying to get him back and when she finally saw that she wasnt going to....she had to get rid of the story without telling the truth that she was never pregnant (she is a little mentally unstable). So....that makes the drama like 10x less for us!! Im so excited. Granted, if she was telling the truth....I would never wish for anyone to have to go through something like that, but Bo and his whole family dont think she ever was pregnant.
Jules....have fun at yours concerts and with all the bullriders!! We are going to miss you around here.
Courtney....congrats on your wedding plans getting better.
Steff....AWWWWWW!! Im so happy for you. Maybe its good for you to have a guy thats different from what you are used to.

Southern guys are way different than guys up there. Is he very polite..."Yes Ma'am" all the time and opening doors and stuff? I love southern guys. You will have to post a pic as soon as you can. BEST OF LUCK WITH HIM!!
Man...love really is in the air on the boards these days!

Alicia, congrats on the ring! That's good news about the ex, too.
Stef, hope the southern boy turns out to be good for ya!
Vicki, congrats on finding yourself a good man!
Today I bought a few more things that Bret will need for school: mini frig, curtains, toiltry and first aid type stuff. I'm buying stuff in bits and pieces so I don't get totally sticker shocked by how much all of it costs!
Enjoy the rest of your day,

I spent the night with Bo last night again...and Im finding that I have an addiction to snooping in his phone while he is sleeping. First time I got away with it completely...last night, I accidentally plugged it back into the wrong charger...WHOOPSIE! Busted. lol

Oh my goodness! Hey, can anybody join this thread?
After my adventures in the mid states this past week, getting back to Rochester I decided I would take the time to read this whole thread. 3 1/2 hours from pg 1 to 20 it took to read! How fun, or funny you all are.
Courtney, congrats to you. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I actually need to go get my parents something for their 44th Anniversary tomorrow. May you be blessed to have so many happy years as my parents. Hope the weather is beautiful and just remember, BREATH! Relax and enjoy the day!
Alicia, I'm just going to call you "Snoopy"

I died reading about the phone incident from last night. Put it in the wrong charger..Wow! Belated congrats on the truck, Bo, and the engagement ring. Glad the EX was not pregnant. Now you can live a little easier..hopefully! So, any speeding tickets yet in that truck? You lead foot!

Honestly, do you enjoy being blond rather than brunette? I tried that when I was your age. Now I just dye my hair to cover the gray!
Bren, Sue, and Steff, I'm assuming the concert in Aug is at Rhinebeck. If so, hope we can meet up. It's always nice to party with Junkies.
Kalen, how's the neck? I was told that once you see a chiropractor, you always will be seeing a chiropractor. I've decided to live with the pain. Probably stupid on my part, but I can't stand to have anybody twisting my back and making it do things I can't do to it myself.
Jules, thanks for posting the pics back in May of the Whale watch. I've always wanted to go to Alaska and do a whale watch trip. So jealous of you. Maybe someday I'll get that way. Have fun at the concert and your bull riding cowboy fix.
Connie, good luck with all that college dorm shopping! I bet Bret will have a blast living in the dorm. I remember those days like it was yesterday. (I only wish it was yesterday.)
To the rest of "Gary Girls" enjoy your Thursday. The sun is actually shining in NY so I think the convertible top needs to be down and I have shopping to do! To think it is now Noon and I have done squat!
Wholly cow, driver John just called and has just won us tickets for Jackson Browne on Sat night! I'm flipping!!! I know what I'm doing Sat night!
Have a great day!

Jul 30 2009, 02:59 PM
Hello, Hard Promises. Welcome to our little corner of the world. Thanks for the good luck wishes for Bret/college. My older son graduated from the same college back in May, so I know that Bret will like it there. I'm an alumni of the same school, and I hear ya about sometimes it feeling like it was only yesterday when I was in college! Due to Bret's health issues, I know I will be worrying about him much more than I did with Barry. Barry was always so smart and 'on top of things'. I'm so proud of him for graduating with a 4.0.
Congrats on the Jackson Browne tickets! I've never seen him in concert but have enjoyed his music. I haven't been to a concert since May (saw Eric Church one week and then Kenny the next). I do get to see Gary on 8/15--yippee!
Bren, yep--there are so many things that you don't think about when sending a kid off to college. It's like having to buy all the things you already have for him in his room at home and in your bathroom. Sheets, bedspread, pillow, lamp, supplies, power cords, plus of course some new clothes. It's kind of mind boggling.
Courtney, did you get everything done today that you needed to do?
Alicia,--lol!
Happy Thursday to everyone. I hope your day is going well.
KOKO,
Connie

ALICIA!!! SHAME ON YOU, SNOOPIN IN YOUR MAN'S PHONE GIRL!
I HAVE AN "EX GIRLFRIEND" ISSUE TOO! SHE WANTS TIM BACK AND IS USING HER KIDS TO TRY TO GET TO HIM! THEY CALLED HIM DADDY CUZ HE IS THE ONLY DADDY THEY EVER KNEW AND THEY WERE ONLY TOGETHER FOR A YEAR. HELL, THAT GIRL DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEIR DADDY(S) IS!! ANYWAY...SHE KEEPS PUTTING THE BOY UP TO CALLING AND TEXTING HIM TRYING TO COME OVER AND STAY WITH HIM! I THINK NOT! HE IS TRYING TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM THE KIDS CUZ THEY AREN'T HIS KIDS AND SHE KEEPS USING THEM TO TRY TO GET TIM BACK. WHAT A WITCH. LAST NITE THE BOY TEXTED AND WANTED TO COME OVER. TIM TOLD HIM HE WAS BUSY AND I'LL BE DARN IF WE WEREN'T SITTING THERE WATCHING TV AND HE JUMPED UP ALL OF A SUDDEN AND LOCKED THE FRONT DOOR. I ASKED WHATS WRONG AND HE SAID LOOK OUTSIDE. IT WAS HER PICKUP PARKED OUT FRONT! THEN I SAW THE LITTLE BOY GET OUT AND COME TO THE FRONT DOOR. THAT KID POUNDED AND POUNDED BUT TIM WOULD NOT ANSWER. HE EVEN TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR! THAT WOMAN THOUGHT SHE WAS BEING SLICK CUZ SHE KNEW THAT TIM WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TELL THE BOY NO FACE TO FACE! I THOUGHT OH NO, AM I GONNA HAVE TO DRAG THAT !$#%@ OUT OF THE TRUCK AND BEAT HER A$$ BEFORE SHE WILL LEAVE HIM ALONE!!?
TOO MUCH DRAMA!!

Hello there strangers! Long time no post here. As a result it just took me 30 minutes to retrieve my password.
Just logged in to tell Kalen 'I saw you on TV!'
And to ask were in the heck are those 70 dates Stormy was talking about...Pittsburgh needs Gary.
Hope everyone is doing well!
editing...Barb did you see the previews for the movie Post Grad? Zack Gilford/Matt from FNL's is in it. Along with Michael Keaton....who grew up a few streets over from me. His mom still lives there.

Hey All...
My last class finished tonight. I do know for a fact that I passed, 'cause I asked!!!LOL!!! Still too afraid to look to see if my English class grade is posted!!! I'm soooo afraid I didn't pass, and I'm going to have to take next semester off due to lack of funds!!!
On a happier note: I was listening to the radio on the way to school (which I rarely do); and they played "Today"!!!
Whitney...Good Luck tomarrow!!! Make memories girl, and don't allow ANYONE to make any bad ones for you!!! I wish you the absolute best!!!
Gotta go see what "Evil Deeds" Alicia's been up too!!!

Hello everyone!
Welcome aboard Hard Promises!
Hi Joni!
Vicki - good luck with the drama - some people just never learn!
Bren - how many songs did you hear last night? Every time I looked behind me Steph or Dor had their phones up!
Alicia - congrats on the engagement! Also, sending thoughts your way regarding what else is going on right now this week.
Last night was awesome, easily the best of the 3 series we've attended. Billy was...hot but that's not a surprise now is it? He sounds better in person, at least in my opinion. The surprise for the evening for me was the voice of Jason Sellers who wrote "I Still Miss You" for Keith Anderson and"Some People Change" for Kenny Chesney. My person fave of his is "You Can't Hide Beautiful". Anyway, I almost wanted them to hurry the circle back to him so I could listen . Interesting fact he dropped which you may or may not know - he's LeeAnn Womack's ex husband.
The next series is on Sept 9 with Chuck Wicks and another in November - but the songwriters have yet to be announced.
Dor met Billy and got a few pics - all the pics of the evening are on her facebook and mine too -just friend me to see them. Of course, Steph and I are wussies and stood back.
talk later!

Hey Sue, just saw your post right before mine. We must have been posting at the same time. Glad you had a great time last night. You sound like me when it comes to meeting celebs. I will wuss out sometimes but I'm glad I didn't with Billy. Maybe next time you will get the nerve up to meet him.

How am I the only one who saw Kalen?? Did no one watch the Headline Country with Stormy and Gary? They showed the crowd from the recent OK show and I could have sworn Kalen was right up front. Except I didn't recognize those around her...not Jen nor her sisters. The one gal might have been Kalen's sister who is taller with long hair but she was looking away from the camera......Kalen come out and correct me if I am wrong.
So Alicia is engaged? Congrats! Details...or should I read back for them?
editing----I just re-watched it. I had DVR'd it and if its not Kalen than it's her DOUBLE! I would suggest recording it b/c they pan the crowd and Kalen is the last shot right before they cut to Gary. I don't have time to read back to see if she went....but this was the show that also had dirt biking. Any of this ring a bell?

Welcome to the thread Hard Promises (whats your real name?)! Anyone/everyone is welcome to join our little family. I think I like being brunette better just to not have to worry about the "up-keep". I like it the best between what it is now and my natural brown color...too blonde for me now. No speeding tickets yet in my truck.
Courtney....Good Luck at your wedding!! I hope everything goes as planned!
Vicki...sorry about Tim's ex! Stupid exes....nothing but drama!! I actually had to get onto another girl last night....she has been texting Bo every day inviting him over for "sleep overs" but saying "I wont try anything, I promise." HAHAHAHAAHA!! Thats pure BS! So I got her number out of his phone and told her politely to STOP texting him! She had the nerve to text Bo and yell about me texting her....she was mad! lol I told him "What does she expect when you invite someone elses man over for a sleep over, they arent going to give you a HUG! They are going to get angry!"
Erin...WELCOME BACK!! If you saw Kalen on TV then you probably saw me too!! I guess I need to Tivo the "Headline Country". Its from the Miami, OK show. Kalen was front row center...and I was standing right next to her on her left.

Laura...congrats on passing your classes!
Bren...he was a little mad. Mostly bc his phone died soon after he got to work bc of me plugging it back into the wrong charger! lol

Whoopsie! He was also a little mad that I snooped...he tells me "Just ask me! I will give you my phone to check! I have nothing to hide." He really doesnt see anything wrong with TALKING to the girls as long as he doesnt actually go hang out with them. I think he is finally seeing the problem with it and is starting to STOP talking to them.
Sue....you didnt meet Billy?!?!?! After all that talk about flashing the "girls" to him! You chickened out.
Thanks to everyone who has given me well wishes about my Uncle who passed away yesterday. Its hard, he is the first person that close to me who has passed away....and for it to have happened the way it happened, makes it that much harder. I dont think it has truly hit me yet though.

Happy Friday!
Wow, a lot of stuff has happened to everyone. I quickly scanned back. Last night's CMA Songwriters Series was awesome as usual.
My southern boy is meeting my mom tonight. It sounds fast but my family is so casual that it's really not a big deal. It's not like "Meet the Parents" night. My family is super important (including you, Sue) and the best way to get to know me is to meet them.
Well I'm Florida bound on Sunday to hang out with Brenda and her awesome hubby Frank. I hope everyone has a great week!

Alicia, I just read your comment about the passing of your uncle. Please accept my deepest sympathy. You're lucky that you've not had a death in your family involving someone close to you before now. I've had more than I ever wanted. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time.
Hope everyone is having a good Friday night.
Connie
