What's in a dream.........

Do you every wake up and look at the ceiling and wonder what the heck was that dream about?  Last night I taught Guoda (Jayson's girlfriend) how to make lasagna, my way and yes it is incredible, and as we were chopping and stirring and spicing and slicing and layering, Jay was outside with Jayson on the deck, him with a cigar and Jayson with a nasty cigarette, and I heard him say, "This is how it should be........"  HA HA HA, Yeah you have to sleep sometime Buddy.  Not quite I do LOVE to cook, but I am a busy woman as you all know, so I always cook on my days off or when I have time because I hate frozen cooking and like to try new dishes.

Anyways, dinner was a success and I think Guoda was pretty proud of herself because she is a self proclaimed Mac and Cheese from the box expert.

I probably had the dream A. Because I cut all my carbs today, and B. Because we ate pretty late so I had a full tummy.  Are you ready for my dream..............
     I was one of the guys, sitting on the deck watching Guoda  cook for all of us.....only I had a beautiful Ivory pipe that was shaped like a rose in bloom, filled with the most delicious pipe tobacco, Raspberry flavored and moist and tasty.  Watching her slave away in my kitchen and enjoying every minute of it, as a man would, not even a twitch to get up and help as she was struggling with the pots of boiling water and running around trying to make sure her timing was on.......

  I have never smoked a pipe in my life, always thought they smelled wonderful and the pipes are absolutely beautiful.......but many times in my life, I have thought I was meant to be a man, I have always been a bit on the tomboyish side, but can get pretty and command a room when I need to, know how to use my feminine wiles to my advantage but can lead a group of men on Harley's and have them tell me I am going a bit too fast for them.  I could ride a bike in heels and a skirt if I needed to or come to the rescue in a bar fight.......In high school I got the nickname "Lipstick and Leather"  but, you all know me as Bubba.......hmmm, What is in a dream?

Movie Review.......

We decided to do a matinee today.  Stevi and Jeremy went to see "Disaster Movie"  so Jay, Guoda, Jayson and I decided to see Death Race.  It was great, like a modern take on Mad Max.  If you think Jason Statham and Tyrese Gibson are hot, (what women don't?)  I at least recommend it for the eye candy and there is a lot of crashem' up action for the guys.  It's a no brainer so you don't have to think, and the effects are great, not too much on the computerization.  So on a scale of 1-5 I give it a 4 and recommend seeing it in the theatre, that way you can see a close up of Jasons abs, good Lord!

Tales from the Chair Chapter 13

Do you feel safe in your garage?  Do you warm up your car before you go to work?  Do you bring your things for the day and put them in the car while you are warming it up?  Perhaps you start your car, then go inside to make your lunch for the day, or grab a cup of coffee.  Do you park in the driveway and then use a garage door opener to get into your house? 

I do all of the above........

My client Laura does also.  She brought her purse and cell phone out to the garage, started her car to go to work in the morning, then ran inside to brush her teeth while her car was warming up for a few minutes after she had just finished her cup of coffee.  Then, Laura went outside and got in her car to go to work, her purse phone and garage door opener were all gone.  Run upstairs, ask her husband if he is playing a mean trick on her, and he is still in the shower. By the time she realized what had happened, she panicked because every credit card, ID card even her social security card, cash and her iphone with every contact and business meeting or transaction was in her phone.  All her pass codes and pin #'s as well.  Laura had her husband go and open their business while she went to the police station to file a report and then she had to go home to look up her bills and account #'s so she could cancel all her credit cards.............too late, $3600 on one, $506 on another, bank card used because it is credit or debit for $1000 and she got gas from a card in over $100, so there was probably two cars.  The bank called her to confirm another transaction while she was home and said they had previously reached her on her cell phone regarding the other transactions that morning only, her phone went to voicemail this time.  And it gets better...........4 days later their house was burglarized, they gained access by using her garage door opener, and 3 other homes in her neighborhood, which happens to be Caughlin Ranch area, were hit the same day, the same way, only two of her neighbors realized that their garage door openers were missing out of their cars, both of which park in the driveway and have keyless entry, how they got in, apparently there are some sort of transmitter that will send random signals and most of the time it will find one that will trigger the code such as a key fob will.  They girl they arrested, who had Laura's Coach bag with her wallet and all her finally cancelled credit cards is a career criminal named Charlotte Hodges who is 30 years old.  She apparently is a drug addict and goes to the nicer neighborhoods and looks for these easy in and out through the garage, most times in just minutes while you are innocently warming up your car, if she wanted access to your house would just take your garage door opener and wait until you leave, then take all your jewelry, cash and whatever else she can get her  hands on............How safe are you?

Memoirs of a crazy childhood....Chapter 9

I remember when I was around 5 or 6 living in Reno Park, my mom signed me up for girlscouts.   I thought it was for Bluebirds which I am sure is a division, but it may have been Brownies, but for some reason Bluebirds is standing out in my memory.  I do remember going to someones house and doing crafty things and thinking.....why am I doing this?  I want to go outside and play with my Tonka Truck....which I am sure I stole from my brother Stevie.  I only remember going over to THAT house maybe twice, then I THINK I got kicked out.........Mom, why was I kicked out of Bluebirds?

Thank You?

I have had "Get Thank-you cards" on my list of things to do since my birthday.  Why is this so hard for me.  I know you have up to a year to send out a Thank-you card to somebody, but I wonder how many years behind I am on this.  I always have good intentions,  Chrissi sent hers out for Jack's birthday party immediately, as a matter of fact, I am pretty sure it beat us home from Bend.

I do intend to purchase some, I think it is the fact that everything I seem to do anymore is on the computer, but an e-thank-you card seems a little impersonal, don't you think?  To all of you out there who have showered me with gifts and kindness, over the years, I will get to it eventually, by the time some of you receive your "Thank You" cards, you will probably say to yourselves....."Lisa Lynch, Lisa Lynch, HONEY, DO WE KNOW A LISA LYNCH? "

So anyways..........Thank you?

Pyramid Lake on Sunday!!!!!!

Ever since my sister had Sage's 2nd birthday party out at the Pyramid I have been craving going back!  So on Sunday I am taking Stevi and a couple of her friends out for the day,  I would like to leave early, around 8am and hang out until around 3, I know this is a Holiday weekend, but over where my sister showed us there will more than likely be few people as it is a day camping area only.  My Mom is going with us and I am hoping my sister and her friends Thea and her family.  This is an open invitation so if you read me, and you would like to hang for the day and do some rock jumping...(my mom is a pro, I like to do belly flops, she does cannon balls)  Please come join us!! Make sure you stop and get a day pass though, apparently it is a $60 fine and you get to go to the wonderful courthouse in Nixon.  Hope to see you there.

I"m learning......

Aren't little sisters supposed to learn from their big sisters?  I am pretty sure I taught my beautiful baby sister about hair, make-up and probably some fashion tips along the way.  I am sure we talked about boys, and I know I came to her rescue when she was in high school a few times...(my nickname is "Bubba" after all)  I know I taught her how to get into nightclubs before she was 21, and how to ignore the guy she liked so he would be more intrigued,  but I never taught her how to take care of herself as a woman, I guess because I never knew how.  During our most recent junk oops I mean garage sale, we were talking about her adventures at Sundance and what some of her experiences may have meant, and of course I made it all about me and realized she was telling me how to take care of myself during my "moon" (mensus) because I didn't know I was supposed to.  I thought I was just supposed to take it like "Bubba"  and keep on truckin' like I always have.  But you know what?  What that little sister of mine was telling me made a lot of sense......that is the one time (or in my case multiple lately) of the month that a woman should listen to her body and take it easy.  So listening to my baby sisters wisdom, I thought, OK, what the hey, I will give it a try.  It is kind of nice......... I got breakfast in bed yesterday and did lay around and read my book in between laundry loads, I went to work today but skipped my yoga class and in between clients I sat and read my book instead of multi-tasking and I have to say, if anything it helped my mood and I am not physically exhaused like I usually am, dragging myself into the house, Jay even noticed.  Stevi said I looked better today.  As women, we never relax until we are ill, and sometimes not even then, try it, you might like it.  Thanks Sis!  I owe you one!  Love you!
