6.27.09.."Almost there?..."

Thanks to E-Blogger, I post pix in a weird order...so here are some pix from today!:)


This is where we are currently staying the night. Amarillo, Tx. After checking in...news flash! Flash Flood! EEK! Very warm here and raining...very nice. You won't be cold though!

These are our communicating devices...they are fabulous! We chit chat back and forth, warn each other of crazy stuff going on up ahead, let each other know when we have to pee!! Great lil' things!

Yay! For Texas, I like this state.

Booooooo!! for New Mexico..not a fan! All for us couldn't wait to get out of here!

"Are we there yet?"

Our lil' troopers! They are just hanging in there, cruising right along. I believe they are enjoying themselves! "Monkey Business" is playing the license plate game, playing her game boy, and texting...she's growing up so fast!

The Mr.'s Birthday Jerky! Les bought him a gift at one of our truck stops, isn't that sweet?!!

He displays it so proudly..he's thinking: "Okay you guys..take the picture..people are staring at us.."

Okay I have major OCD...not a secret. With OCD, the SMALLEST detail can drive you insane!

We leave this morning from our Colorado Springs hotel and walking out I noticed the dust caps came off one of the trailer tires...so I said something " Ummm...hey baby..this one doesn't look right? It's not matching the others"

The Mr: "Oh my gosh, thank you. We have to get that fixed before we go any further.."

I followed him with my back towards him as he was walking off...waiting for a pat on the back..nothing.nada.he didn't notice..

The Mr and I at the auto parts store.

He thought it was all fixed and went to pull out and Happypants behind us noticed it flew off again...I threw out the package {Duh! To clean up..it's what I do...} and we had to go and dig through the garbage for the package to return it and get another....

But the thing is: I told him, "This is God's way of stalling us. There is a reason for everything!We will take this as a sign..." he agreed! :)

Very beautiful part of the country..Colorado is amazing!

Well, tomorrow we should be reaching our destination...phew! Everything as gone as planned and even better as planned. Couldn't be better...Let's hope tomorrow is just as good!

6.27.09.." On the road Again! I just can't wait to get on the road again! "

Here are some quick pics from our trip!

Me being silly :)

This is Denver, Co. Very beautiful area! Wouldn't want to live here, however visiting would be nice!!

You know Les and I! We meet and talk to anyone :)

We met these bicyclists (Kendall and Rachel) in Wyoming..somewhere @ some rest stop. These two are riding their bikes across country! They have been on the road for 5 weeks now and heading Virginia! They started in Seattle. Nope. Not for me! However we got the blogs of these two and found more blogging buddies! Amazing they are! The guy-Kendall, never owned a bike before and bought his first bike for this trip! EEEKKK!!! Can you say SORE!!!!!!

Great people!

Still, somewhere in Denver! :)

Utah..was okay....NO ONE around.....

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm..........?

At our last rest stop in Idaho. NO! Kelly is not starting to poop! She already did, almost on Les's shoe! Ha! Ha!

YaY! Wyoming!!

Our traveling buddies! :) They are hanging in there and doing great!

P.s...sorry these pics aren't in order! E-Blogger won't let me put in certain pics! Kept turning them sideways. GRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrr.......

But we have a set of walkie-talkie and talking back and forth which is awesome! We have call names!

Les: Happy Pants

Kenz: Monkey Business

The Mr: The Mr.

Miss Jody: Fancy Pants
Toodles for now!

6.27.09.."Happy Birthday Mr!!!!"

Happy Birthday My Love!!

Yes we are still on the road, however it's the Mr's Birthday today! :)

My birthday wish for him:

****The roads are nice and soft for his driving pleasure..(**** while I was taking a nap..all I heard was ..."Stupid gosh darn roads! No town or state has enough money to have decent roads! Bleep! Bleep! Bleep!, etc......" he cussed and cursed about every states' road or highway!)

****That all rest stops you wanna stop at today...has no one there! But us..(****again. All I heard the whole time when we entered a rest stop.."What?! Is there a convention going on or something?! Every body's here!"..yeah, he's not much for crowds...yip.)

****Gas prices are waaaaaaaay down for you today..(*** well, I guess I don't have to go there! We all get upset over that one!)

Don't get me wrong..he's the sweetest man ever! He complains or rants about something and he turns it all into something hilarious! He goes on and on and then just turns it all upside down until in your in stitches, from laughing!

I hope you have a great day Baby!! :)

6.26.09.."Are we There yet?..."

Whoa there! first of all...how can a girl travel without her toenails being painted pretty?

Because we all know when it comes to a road trip...hours in the car. We really don't look all that pretty...no make-up..hair is..well. It's hair okay....But! We can always depend on having pretty toe nails! La-de-da!

I owe these to my Lil' sister...she is a nail tech. and did a fabulous job before I left on our road trip! She did a remarkable job! :)

But to our family and friends and blogging buddies...I will comment on others blogs( I promise) and post more soon.

So far we have traveled over 1,430 or so miles since yesturday morning...we are tired...ZZZzzzzzz.... we still have under 1,000 or so more to go..

So toodles for now and chat more soon! :)

P.s.....okay, AFTER I posted this pix...I looked at it.I have ugly a*s feet! My Land! I look like I have arthritis in them there toes! Yuk! I can't believe I put that pix on there...I'm sorry. I apolagize if this offends anyone. I am.

Oh by the way. Yes, these HUGE deformed looking things do fit in a size 14 shoe! Well, okay not really...but c'mon.

6.19.09.." The True's I presume?....."

Whoo! Hoo!

The Mr. found a home with help from the famous "Miss Netti & Mr. "T" ,themselves!

That took off alot of stress. Phew!

This will hopefully be the last rental until we buy next. The Mr. didn't do a bad job at all. He's awesome:)

He's sooooo picky, that whatever he likes..I'm cool with it. He found this ,while he was there this week working...

But people, we are heading from Oregon to Arkansas. Did I mention we will be traveling with 2 crazy-ass cats and a OCD dog? Dri-VING!

No??? I didn't.

Well, you know me...I will have some stories for you when I get back to bloggy land. Oh you bet I will! It's me!!

My Bff and her wonderful lil' girl. Well, technically she's my niece...so they will we traveling with us:)

Well, I will bring my lap top in case some some hotel/motel has Internet service..I can keep up w/ you girls! :)

You know the only thing that scares me is ...breaking down? I watch horror flicks! The stupid cars break down at the worse places and then the dumb girl falls down while the evil dude is chasing her! Oh no! Not me! I will take off screaming " Run for your life baby! Your on your own!Baaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh...'

Okay, I was scared once really bad. And I DID leave my husband in the dirt and I took off running...then I thought "Husband?...oh...." then, I turn around.he's rolling.on the ground.laughing.hysterically.

At that moment I wish he had a weak bladder.

So I could laugh at him.

Toodles for now!

6.17.09.."Too many Cherries can what?.....Ohhhhh"

Ya, these innocent lil' creatures aren't so innocent. Sittin' there all red and..stuff. Looking so temping.TEMPTING that is the word! Evil lil' boogers...

Okay, I have another story for ya. This also happened oh.. say about..I think 7 years ago...?

I was heading to Central Oregon for the weekend, to go horse back riding/camping...., I was meeting up with a family that I became very good friends with. Just my dog and I. I was settled in for a 3- 3 1/2 hour trip....Oooooooo Wait! A cherry stand! I'll get 2,...no 3,.....naaaaaa... I'll get 4 pounds of cherries and share with everybody at camp! ;) Very nice of me! One point for Jody! {licking finger and striking the air}Ding!

I get to camp. With a bag of.nothing.I ate.the.whole.bag.

Oh yeah. I got your attention, didn't I?

I went riding all day.Got chased by Bucks! Yes! They chased us. On horseback...

We made dinner and sat around the campfire..just like in the movies...it was great! Kelly and I made a lil' bed in the back of my truck and we settled in for a nice long.....oh that too familiar...cramp came. Noooooooooooo! Not NOWWWWWW! WWWWWHHHHYYYYY??????

I really think at one point in my life God was playing jokes on me or something...this isn't right!

So, I got my head lamp on.toilet paper.kelly.{Just in case she had to go..she wasn't coming for protection. She'd just lick'em to death.}

I had no idea where I was at! So I just started walking.....found a lil' clearing.Looked around.Stopped and listened{EYES WIDE open at this point} You notice, when you can't SEE, you just open your eyes reeeeaaalllly wide in the dark.Hoping to...see? We all do it. Well, maybe just me.

So I do my thang, and head back to bed. :)

Next morning, new campers came in. We met up with them on the trail and went for a ride. Nice people. They had high strung Arabians, but were nice.

At the end of the ride, our new neighbors headed past us and kept going to their camp site...

Then all of a sudden! Hollering and screaming and all this commotion! We all looked and took off running in the direction of the screams! Running in a dead run, and running in an area I wasn't familiar with....oh, wait a minute. This is starting to look familiar.....oh no....

I slowed my pace down... we were heading right where I visited the night before. Oh gosh No! It can't be the same.....place.

We see a lady{ yes, one of our new neighbors..} laying flat on her back! In the middle of the trail. Her Arabian took off running past us!

Everyone asked what happened {as she's still just LAYING there!}Meanwhile, I'm frantically looking around for the evidence that "Jody was here"...phew! nothing.I'm safe!

The lady laying on her back says: "Someone took a shit in the middle of the horse trail and my mare spooked from the toilet paper! So she dumped me!"

Everyone was like.."What!!??? Here!!??? Who would do such a thing?"

{ I want to thank God for this moment for not letting animals speak. My dog would have ratted me out. In a heartbeat.No doubt. She would have stood on her hind legs and pointed her paw right at me.Then I'd have to kill her. So thank you Lord for the lil' things}

I even chimed in! "Ya! WHO would do such a thing!?Gosssssshhhh.."

Then, we all helped her up and was brushing her off.

Then.there.it.was.The evidence I couldn't find. Stuck to her SHOULDER!! Yip, only me.

The funny thing is: Everyone pointed out a "Best Pots" right next to our camp site.

I never told them it was me.

.6.17.09." Ummm..... Excuse me? Have you seen my Mr?...."

MY LAND!!!
This is what a wig and false teeth do to a person! Ekkkkkkkkk!!!!
This does not look like my husband at all!! He does not look like the same person...
It actually freaked me out.
On his last day, of work his co-workers got this lil' get up for him.
Definitely goes in the Halloween Box. ..

He's such a good sport about things like this! :)
