Me again!

Becky has some really cute dogs! This one is my new buddy Bentley. The one on the left is when we first met and the one on the right is when we were chillin' watching TV

Look! I went on a super fun train ride with Santa! See all those gifts?? They're all for me of course! Divas always get the most presents!

Ok I have a little secret- don't tell Dude! One day I went down to the firestation to, umm, you know hang out ;) I wore my cutest outfit too! Well I met all the guys and I have to say I really took to one- and he has the cutest dog too!! He even let me beat on his fire drum and hold his fire hose! See us over there on the left!! Don't we make a cute couple??


I also met someone really weird at her house. I'm still not sure what to think but check me out!

OK that's it so far! Not sure where I'm off to next yet but I hope I get there quickly, that box is pretty uncomfortable. Definitely not fit for a Diva such as myself.

Hello my people.

Wow, have I been busy! Sorry to keep my fans in suspense on my whereabouts, but we Divas have such busy schedules we don't always get computer time. I had SUCH fun in California but I'll have to tell you ALLLLLL about it later. That Monika really knows how to have a good time.

The Dude and I are in South Florida right now with Becky, and let me tell you- it is really divalicious to be able to go outside in the middle of December with just shorts and a tank top on! We even went sunbathing one afternoon. Now this is the life. Well, I have to run, but I'll show you all the things we've been doing later! Ta-Ta for now!

California Here We Come

We are headed for Cali! And just in time - it got COLD here on Monday. A storm blew in and the temperature dropped 20 degrees in less than 30 minutes. I guess that's why they say that if you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait a minute - it will change! We had fun but are excited to be headed to visit Monika. I see a theme with the hostess names! Kristin and Kendall were sad to see us go (of course - everyone needs a Diva in their life!) but I hear that Monika has some adorable grandkids for us to meet! Now if someone will just buy us some first class tickets - traveling in a box is NOT very Diva-like.

Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday, we all went to the Oil Ranch to enjoy the beautiful weather and see the pumpkin patch. Only it isn't really a pumkin patch. They bring in a bunch of pumpkins and lay them on the ground and tell the kiddos that it is a pumpkin patch. ??? Oh, well, it was still a fun day! The Oil Ranch is a working farm, so we went on a hayride to feed the cows (luckily, Mona kept Dude and I in her lovely Sam Moon tote. Diva's DO NOT feed cows!!!) Kristin and Kendall milked a cow and took a pony ride. Once the livestock was out of the picture, Dude and I came out of the tote for a train ride. What a fun day!

Girls Night Out ends with a Catfight

So on Saturday night, Mona had plans to go out with her neighbors, Cindi and Paula to celebrate Paula's birthday. She told me that I would get to go - but that Dude couldn't come - it was Girls' Night Out. We were going for Mexican food and Margarita's and Dude was acting quite dramatic about the fact that he couldn't come. I tried to explain how important Girl's Night Out is for moms - but he just stomped off pouting. So we headed to Los Cucos and sat outside on the patio. It was a beautiful evening! After dinner, we headed back to Paula's for one of her special Pomegranate Margaritas. We called it a night about 10 PM (boy - those mom's have really lost their party mojo's!) and I got home to find that tramp Princess Island Barbie putting the moves on Dude!! She tried to give me some BS story about her being a massage therapist. Yeah, right! After I did a little butt kickin, she left and Dude apoligized. Let's just say we definately made up!!

Archivers and a Little Pampering

So after dragging me out of the bed before daylight and taking Kristin and Kendall to school (Diva's DO NOT do carpools!) Mona promised me a trip to Archivers and a little pampering to make up for all of the UNdiva-like chores that she had subjected me to. Archivers helped make up for it! Wow - there was BLING everywhere!! A Diva's favorite! Stickles in every color, blingy embellies, and I got to sniff the new Basic Grey Christmas line "Figgy Pudding". Mmmmmmmm! After we did the carpool thing again (boy, does that get old fast!) We headed to the Salon for a new 'do. Kristin really knows how to make a Diva feel pampered! I could get used to this!

I Have Arrived in Texas!

I am in Houston, Texas at Monak2's house. I arrived just in time to celebrate Kendall's 4th birthday. I love birthday cake!! You know that birthday cake has no calories, right? Mona showed Dude and me where we will be staying. NICE! We have our own balcony and fireplace (although why they have a fireplace in Houston, I don't know!) It is so unfortunate that the last resident who lived here had some sort of tragic accident. But that is why it is available for us now!

Happy trails to you until we meet again

We didn’t have much time for scrapping, but Mindy and I did put this one page together. I like how the joint effort turned out.


I do hope I will be coming back to Utah again, because Mindy said there is so much more to see, that I had to miss this trip. I am intrigued to go to Salt Lake City, but maybe next time around.
Now I am off to see Lori!

A few in color

A Wild West slideshow

Since my time with Mindy in Utah was short, she had a special photo shoot with me to show off my Wild West outfit.

I have never been to a Mormon Church before. But since there was nothing else to do around here on a Sunday, I went along. Mindy teaches a cute little class of 11 and 12 year olds.



They gave me the royal treatment and a little Book of Mormon, all my own, marked with their favorite scripture passages. Isn’t that sweet?

Yesterday was a great Diva day. We shopped and shopped and shopped for hours.




I got these sweet new boots, in honor of my trip to Utah. Mindy encouraged my wild west look.

The craziest store we went to was called Cabella’s. I asked Mindy why she would take me, a diva, to an outdoor/sporting good store, wasn't camping bad enough? But I will admit that once we got there I was highly impressed. I grabbed some postcards to share with you (since we didn’t take in the cameras). This is what the inside of the store looks like. Pretty neat, huh? That huge “mountain” in the middle of the store had all kinds of animals on it, and that aquarium had the biggest fish I had ever seen.

Now I need to put up my feet and rest.

I've been everywhere Man

On the ride up to Idaho, Mindy's Dh had us listen to Johnny Cash. While it may not have been my very favorite type of music, I thought this song was very appropriate. Enjoy.

I am finally out of that box

Eventhough, MindySue has been expecting me, she wasn't prepared for my arrival today. She is trying to pack up to go to a family reunion up in Idaho. I said I was excited that I would get to see two States in one trip, but she says she is a little hesitant to take me. It's a family reunion for her husbands family, and she says she hasn't met many of them. She is worried that they will think she is crazy taking pictures with me.
I told her to "Get Over It - I am coming along, I want to see Idaho too." But then she informed me, that they are camping, and now I am thinking I may just want to stay here with Dude in my comfy box. LOL.

My trip here is going to be short, as I am slightly behind on my travel schedule, so I may go.... gulp...... CAMPING........ just so I can spend time with MindySue. Plus her son is so adorable. He is afraid to touch me, which is nice, Diva's don't like to be man handled.

Here are 2 quick pics of me watching the aquarium screen saver on the computer, while Mindy is packing.

Such cute fishys.

Soaking up the Cali Sunshine

I have arrived at ErinJ's. She knows how difficult the traveling life of a Diva can be, so she took me right out to the pool to soak up the sunshine.
Dude and I got in a fight on the way to California, so I made him stay in the box while I lounged by the pool. He asked me to move over and give him some room in the box, which of course means that he thinks I'm fat. Men.
I was very distraught to realize that my wardrobe is incomplete- someone kept one of my flip flops, they probably have it under their pillow so they can remember my luscious Diva scent. So, I had to wear my heels to the pool, which is fine, I hear that's what Paris wears when she's soaking up the rays.
Supposedly Erin is taking me to work with her tonight, and she says the scrapbook store she works at is fabulous and fit for any Diva. We'll see about that.

California, Here I Come!

Can you believe it? This morning Kathleen and Archie got us up and told us they run every morning and suggested we go with them. I said Divas don't get sweaty, but Kathleen assured me that I'd only "glisten".

Well, since we'll be cooped up in the box again, we decided to go. Kathleen showed me how Cross Country runners stretch and Archie worked on football moves with Dude. I can't believe Kathleen even timed us for 2 MILES!!

Well, our visit was so short here, but we did so much. And we picked up a couple of furry traveling companions as well, so it's time to jump back into the box for the trip to Erin J's. I wonder what she'll have in store for us?

Back in Texas

Hey Y'all,

I arrived in Texas at Kacomi's house yesterday. I'll tell you, these Texas folks sure do give visitors a grand tour. We had such a busy day. No parades in my honor, but I guess I'll forgive them this time.

One of the first family members I met was Cali the family attack cat. She is so sweet. I asked Jeff why he called her an attack cat and he said that if I sat down she'd "attack" my lap and demand petting. I need an attack cat of my own.

Well, we then went out to the country for a horseback ride. These people know that a Diva deserves a horse fit for a princess!

Dude and I had such a lovely ride. That grass was so green! Karen said that all the rain they'd had lately had done it, but I know they wouldn't let a Diva see old dried grass of course.

Since I was in the country, I decided to just sit and enjoy nature for a while. I made a friend.

I thought about keeping the bunny, but I just couldn't trap a wild creature. So I said bye bye bunny and let it go.

Well, no rest for a Diva! We rode home and I just had to meet those darling puppies I've seen on SJ so much. Kathleen said I'd get trampled in the yard with all those dogs, so she brought Whitey and Golden Girl in to meet me (I thought I was the Golden Girl!) They wer so cute, but Archie's right when he calls them slobber machines! Kathleen had to rescue me from those tounges!

I tell you I was ready to meet an animal I could just relax with and who wouldn't give my clothes and me an unwelcome bath!

I don't think I need a puppy in the box any more. They'd make it so soggy! Divas do not do soggy!

Now this is an animal I could get used to. Amelia just let me hang out with her and she purred so nicely. I wonder if Karen would go buy me a kitten...and if Dude would like it?




While I was visiting with the cat, Karen had to lay down with a headache (poor thing) so Kathleen took over amusing me. We checked out my wardrobe andKathleen found me some some darling earrings

Dressed for browsing, we checked out

Karen's SB embellies! She has so many!

I thought about jumping in the drawer and rolling around, but that kind of behavior doesn't seem Diva-like, so I refrained.

Archie invited Dude and me to tour a Texas natural history museum he'd aquired and see some of the native animals of Texas.











He assured me it was safe, but that scorpion was kind of big and awfully close. Divas do not do arachnids!





But we did enjoy seeing the various types of animals. I had to convince Dude that the rattlesnake was a bad idea for a pet. MEN!










After we returned from the museum, Kathleen whisked me off to prepare me for special dinner with Dude. That child gets romance! Sigh!




My goodness what a day it's been! I thought it would be bedtime, but Kathleen and Karen had one more surprise for us. You'll never guess what those sweet girls did!



They got us our very own kitties! Misty is a cuddly gray kitten and Mac is a Simaese. We get to keep them! They'll make the time in the box go so quickly.

Well, time for bed. Divas need rest you know! See you all tomorrow!
