I’ll take it!

First I’m going to start out with a confession….. as hard as I worked to get 30 pounds off…… I’ve put 20 back on. WHAT THE HELL!??!?! Do I ever learn?

At least I caught it before it was 30plus pounds gained. I have been working on getting back down to my goal weight (I mean HELLLLLOO! I have Vegas coming up in October!

I will wear my skinny jeans for Vegas!) Annnnyway. As every woman who has ever had to diet knows, when you’ve gained you don’t feel good about the way you look. Nothing fits right…. you’re critical about everything you see in the mirror….. blah blah blah.

SO today on my morning walk I passed 2 young men that were on their way to school. As I passed one said “DAMN, look at that ass. Why would you mess with perfection like that?!” (I love that kid!!) His buddy answered “Dude, she’s OLD!” (I hate that little bastard!) I don’t care.

MY ASS was complimented on!! (course I am old enough to be his Grandma… but still….. I’ll take the compliment!!)

Let me add a disclaimer here…. first off…. I in no way shape or form come close to these women! I think 2 of them would fit in one leg of my jeans!! But.. it’s Trace Adkins and I do LOVE Trace! AND it’s a song about BUTTS!!! And I have a ‘perfect butt’ according to a Freshman boy!! So turn it up nice and loud!!

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is like digital archaeology—except I’ve unearthed a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.

This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes. If things look a little haunted around here, here is the proof:

• The Vanishing Act: The ghost keeps deleting my best images and video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes.
• The Link Graveyard: It’s been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
• Font Sabotage: Apparently trapped in 2001, it keeps reverting my clean layout back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan

To banish these spirits and keep my traffic climbing, I’m launching a step-by-step exorcism plan:

1. Exorcise the 404s: Running a broken link checker to track down every dead end and missing image.
2. Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.
3. SEO Deep Clean: Refreshing metadata and strategically placing focus keywords.

Stick Around Please!

Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house and banishing spirits, check out these (very much alive) links:

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway. I promise this one is fully alive, kicking, and ghost-free!

Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, who is turning down free money?

Hey, while you are here you could shop through my link on Amazon, or Walmart.
