Fun is an understatement!

The Pulpwood Queens of Northwest Houston (and Ruston and Longview)

and the winner of the Big Ball of Hair is......MY SISSY! YEA, so proud of you!!! xoxo

I'm back! (imagine me saying that with a wide grin and jazz hands...you can see me now can't you!)

I skipped over the real festivities of Christmas day and now I'm here, in the now.

Last weekend took me to Jefferson, Texas for Kathy Patrick's 11th Annual Girlfriend Weekend and Author Extravaganza!


I can't possibly list all of the amazing details that make this an incredible weekend for me personally, and for the other 250 women in the room. The words, the books, the wardrobes...really, I'm speechless. I made new friends (shout out Frieda!) and connected with friends who are now considered extended family.

Susan Parker - author of "Walking in the Deep End"

To sum up the fun we had, I am going to list the best quotes (according to our group) from the weekend: (drum roll please)

1. "Baby Girl, put er in park and take a swiga this!"
2. "I only gyrate when it matters."
3. "You gotta have a lotta class to wear them boots and girl, you are rockin' em!"
4. "Standardized tests suck!"
5. "It's ok, sweetie. I'm FROM he-uh."
6. "You're prettier than Farrah Fawcet."
7. "I love everybody! I love everything!"

Marshall Chapman - one of my favorite people. Marshall, if you read this and you wanna know why, you have to email me! : ) Me and the girls "performed" one of my classic GNO (Girl's Night Out) songs for Marshall, Kris and the Queen of Hearts.
Marshall's new book is "They Came to Nashville."

8. "What I want to know is, who is your dentist?"
9. "Mary Ann has such great lats."
10. "I'm just not ready to go up yet."
11. "Oh, I can't wait to get home and google ya'll!"
12. "It'll be late, and I'll be drunk, but I'll be here and I'll dance with you as much as you want."
