A late update on my trip to California

Can I just say that those girls are crazy? Wow.

I arrived in California just in time for the SJ California Crop in late February. Cheri Pryor was nice enough to host me along with a lot of other gals in her home. It was pure insanity. INSANITY I tell you! I was completely exhausted after spending just a few days there. But I did pick up some really hot eyebrow tips from Deanna. I've just got to get myself a sharpie and I am all set!

I did meet this really cool chick who was more along the lines of my own peeps back home. Her name was Alice and she, too, was vacationing through Circle Journals Travel Agency and just happened to be at Cheri's house during my visit. We chatted it up by the hot tub at Patti's while some other EXTREMELY ANNOYING person named Peggy made a spectacle of herself. Ugh! She was *so* irritating! I heard she ended up in Louisiana. I'm sooooo glad Dude was nowhere around this chick. Seriously.

On Saturday Alice and I sat together at the crop and just chatted all day and shared vacation stories and dreams about where we would go next. I really, really loved her!! Here we are at the crop. I look like a total beast next to her...tiny little thing. If I didn't love her so much I would hate her...


As Dude and I got ready to leave California, we were amazed at the sight of this guy. I thought I had seen him around many times before in all my travelocity travels, but it was just his cousin Ed. But he was nice enough so we grabbed a quick photo before we headed out to Chicago for the Scrap For A Cure Event.



I hope to return to California one day. We missed getting to go to San Francisco because it was such horrible weather.

Whatever happened to "It Never Rains In California"????

Happy Holidays from New York!

Well, Dude & I had a rude awakening when we traveled from sunny & warm Florida up to Webster, NY! It's COLD up here! I spent Christmas and New Year's with Mimi and her family. Mimi gave me a nice warm winter jacket, since all I seem to own are skimpy tops! They're great when we're inside, but I almost froze my little, plastic tushy off when she tried to send me out in the snow without a jacket!

OK, seriously, how cool do I look in my new jacket??? I couldn't wait to go outside and make snow angels after I put it on! I need to think about wearing warmer shoes next time!
Here I am hangin' with the cast of High School Musical! I love Troy, but Dude was taking the picture, so I had to watch it!

Here I am with the Miller's cat, Shadow. Yeah, we're buddies now, but I have to admit that she scared the poo out of me when I first saw her! Her claws are huge, but she's very sweet once you get to know her...and once she stopped licking my hair...YUCK! I'm thinking of having a saddle made so that I can ride her around the house!

OK, the only downside to our trip was when I found Dude out cruising with Hanna Montana!
Of course, I wasn't going to stand for THAT, so I dragged her out of the car by her bleach-blonde wig....
Dude had to hold me back....I was NOT happy! She may be twice my scale, but that doesn't mean she's twice the doll that I am!
Dude explained that Hanna was just showing him the sights, and I forgave him. We all became friends after that...but I insisted that Hanna give us free tickets to her next concert (just so I could sell them on eBay for thousands of dollars!)

Here I am visiting the North Pole (which is apparently in New York...who knew?)
Wow! Check me out you guys! I'm holding the Baby Jesus! He was so cute, and so well-behaved...he never even moved! That King was getting a little frisky, though!

Here I am entertaining everyone with Christmas Carols on the piano. I needed a phone book to boost me up, which was kind of embarassing!

Here we are rockin' out to Guitar Hero 3! Dude strummed and I was in charge of hitting the notes...we ROCKED!

Dude & I had alot of fun in New York! We set sail on a pirate ship! Dude was so brave! We were attacked by a shark, but he totally kept his cool and steered us to safety!

Here we are getting cozy under the Christmas Tree...we couldn't find any mistletoe, so we had to improvise!

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!!
