hi there...it's me again...jo....i can't believe it's the middle of may already. i promised to be back sooner than this, but ever since i was made deputy mayor of moland my life has gotten almost as excitin as mayor mo's! right after mo got back in the saddle i was out in the yard rearranging my garden gnomes & flamingos when dirk showed up, swept me off my feet, and drove me clear to vegas. (i was thinkin all along how i shoulda grabbed my white pumps, just in case he popped the question.) as it turns out, i wouldn't have needed them, and i'm thinkin i'd prefer a nice little low heeled sandal anyway.
dirk drove straight to that fancy tattoo parlor in the casino and had us browsin the samples for matchin tattoos. i didn't have the heart to tell him that i'd already pledged my first tattoo - well, my first in years - to the molandian mostock tattoo, so i had to create a bit of a diversion....it worked cause after security let everyone back in the building, we had to head off for the monster truck and motorcycle show and he forgot all about the matchin tattoo idea. have you ever noticed that if you wanna see a good show, seems you always gotta cross a state line? anyway, it was one fun getaway and i was secretly relieved that he didn't propose as i look much better in white once i get my summer tan and with cleavage.
that reminds me... when i got back i was tryin to do a little spring cleaning in the airstream and you will never guess what i found... my april pages! i know we're almost half way through the year already, but i'm hopin you don't mind me being a bit late with my signs of spring. i've got a lot of decluttering to do, but mo won't let me throw anything out because she gets some of her best inspiration from the stuff that appears outta nowhere here in the airstream. so i'm boxing things up and storin them in her basement. she doesn't usually go down there - the rat and tracy squirrel have made her a bit timid of both the attic and the basement these days - but if she gets desperate enough for some second hand smoke enhanced ephemera, she'll go and root around till she finds it.
i'll try and come back sooner with something a little more current. i grabbed a disposable camera at walgreen's in vegas, so maybe my may layout will be about my trip. there's just so much goin on around here in the spring and early summer that it's hard to get over here to the blog every day....but look for mo to appear shortly and more regularly now that we're thinkin all the recent diseases have come and gone....she has quite a few things stored up to spew forth in her more politically correct way. but if you long to see more o me, leave some more o those comments tellin mo to let me keep the extra set o keys to the blog...she might not always listen to me but she will have to listen to you!
lots o love,
the pretty cousin
