Have a happy weekend!!

Hello. Guess what. It's later. Much later. Second thought, not much much later but it is Saturday.

Well how was your 4th?

Mine was good. BBQ? Yes. Fireworks? Well not exactly as planned. Originally it was to be an organized Fireworks. Didn't do it. Instead WB and Pup bought fireworks and  we had our own fireworks show. Nothing fancy but pretty cool. A really laid back day. End of day was watching a repeat of LLSwTCF. It was one that I'd missed so for me it was new. Good. I liked the interview with the guy from "House".  And I finally got to see what the TWoP ladies were talking about when they talked about "boots". Pretty girl. I can see why he'd be distracted. Guess this means he's not gay. Not that there's anythi... sigh. 

This has been a really good holiday.

This reinvention stuff is a go. WB helped me with research on what I'd like to do. Will blog on it. Something to do while the Rep and Dem fight and the Dem and Dem fight.  But don't fret that you'll go without politically. OH NO. RedNeck politico is a go too. And no I haven't forgotten Alice.

Actually I just told you about Alice.

Call me Alice. I'm looking for mobyDick!

That is now the title for reinvention. Yeppers. Call me Alice.  And guess what. I am very much looking for mobyDick. I'm going to do it with your input and with Hannah Murphy as my guide. Remember I've got this numb tongue thing that Dr. Spock said might get even worse if I kept up this celibacy thing.  I don't want that. There's just no time to waste. And the whole idea of reinventing ones self or of finding yourself is a whole lot like Alice's Adventures and Ahab's quest. And if I happen to actually FIND a mobyDick. Well. Good for me. :D

Independence Day weekend with it's emphasis of freedom of the individual just seemed like a durn good day to begin this trip of self discovery. Yeah I know I'd already unofficially started but just seemed like a good idea to make it semi official. I can change my mind when ever I wish. Change course when ever I like.

It's all good. 

After all this celibacy. 

Getting my groove back? Even better.

Will there be Hannah Murphy stories? Yep, she like you Gentle reader, is my guide through all this.

Will there be dogs? This is 12 dogs and a blog. Yes of course there will be dogs. Many dogs. I love dogs.

Will there be exercise class? Let's not get carried away. Unless there is a personal trainer who is a good looking GUY? Don't know.

Will there be political intrigue? Yes, if you count RedNeck politico as political intrigue. I'm writing it up as a political soap opera. Like Dallas. Personally I think it's time for Dallas again.

Oil and sex and mean people - Southern style. Welcome to RedNeck Politico. Just writes itself.

Will I do the interactive stories? You liked them didn't ya? Well sure. See above.

Will there be women's issues? Cranky old feminist may rear her head from time to time. Need to put her on with Hannah Murphy. Hannah's not a feminist by the way. She's a realist.

Will there be a talk show? Kind of. It's called The 3o'clock Show.  Once a week with Hannah Murphy. That's about all ya can take. At least all I can.

Will I do post cards? Yep, after all this is a journey. What's a trip without post cards.

Will there be a question of the day? My Day's of the Week Underwear Drawer? Yes and Yes.

Will I answer the question "What did I learn last night and this morning?" Not sure. Depends. I'd like to but well I'm not sure just yet. Lemmie think on it. Look for a sign. See what Fate thinks.  I hoped that it would be a fun and well yeah kind of flirty way of self discovery but sometimes it's just kind of mean.  I like snark and certainly have snarked but not if it becomes distructive or mean.

I guess though I should answer this question.

I learned last night that you can take things too far and maybe hurt folks feelings. When you get to that point you should say, "I'm sorry".  Try to remember that even the toughest exterior covers a soft heart that should be treated gently. So I'll start. I'm sorry if I took things so far that feelings might have been hurt. I'm just sick of having the same done to me. I have a soft heart too. My feelings can be hurt. Luckily thanks to a person with a massively good sense of humor, my feeling weren't hurt last night. And may I just say-- the guy was a great kisser. Very distracting.

That was a heck of an interesting discovery.

Finally will there be blatantly ogling of good looking men? Yes. After the sexism this past primary? Oh yeah.

I've already started.

Yesterday morning? I ogled the mental image of PegsontheBay in nothing but his jeans and Lucky hat. He posted about it on his blog. Yep. Pegs. In his Lucky hat and jeans. All tanned and buffed. Covered in sweat and beer and dirt. Tilling the soil under that hot Oklahoma sun. I'm sorry I know he's married and a grandfather and all but he started it my posting about this in his blog. So I'm ogling. So did some other folks. You know who you are. I'm ogling that mental image like there is no tomorrow. So ogling good looking men? If men can do it to women then I can do it to men. It was such a success? I went to ogling Tryork. I know he has all that hair but so did Samsom and he was as we all know a fox. Just keep Try away from those Delilahs that would cut it. I talking about Pink Poodles that have a penchant for shearing things. Oh and you Flowby people. You can just keep away from him too. Besides. Tryork has that sexy muscle called a brain all buff. Don't believe me? Go read. Well from Pegs to Try to Tv's Craig Ferguson. The last male type person I ogled wasn't TV's CF. Nope. He was the next to the last. The last person was a real live guy. WB.

I ogled him too as he can be pretty durn charming when he wants. Besides unlike the above folks he's right here. My own private eye candy. Well maybe not but with a little work...

As for Tv's CF? Oh well he is a fox. Fine looking man and funny. Plus unlike WB he has the gift of conversation in his favor. Sigh. Yeah I know, just like most of the rest of us, smitten. Matter of fact. I think that the "What did I learn ?"  part here at 12 dogs should be an analysis of what it is about these folks that make me ogle so.  Now that would be a learning experience. Kind of a Miss America contest for men. There he is, Miiiss America. And now wearing nothing but jeans and a Lucky Hat our contestant from Oklahoma. Pegsonthe Bay. mmmmmmm.

yeah ;-)

Now back to reinvention.

I've gotten emails from folks that I'd really like to hear from during this process. I'd like to read their take on this journey for sure. And there is one emailer, I'm not sure I'm I can keep up with them. They're really smart and funny. I'd learn alot from them but I'm afraid that I'd bore them 1/2 to death or drive them nuts with having to ask them to explain. I dunno if they have the patience to chat with me. I think however there is hope because I know that they read my blog sometimes. And they LOVE words. They might even do the cryptoquotes puzzles. I haven't asked but, well, it would make me "over the moon" happy if they would.

What's next?   Independence Day to do list.
