Ok so I have not posted in over 3 months.  I know what you are thinking..."Dayle is a lame ass”.  Yes, I am.  Been busy and more interested in being a voyeur on Facebook that I have not cared to update this page.  I dont feel like I have too much to say.  I’ll just start spewing thoughts and see what we come up with…

Ok Ebet got married 8/29/08 in beautiful Hendersonville, NC.  There were about 20 of us in attendance.  Was a very nice trip and so glad to be a part of it all.  Ebet & Courtney had been together for 10 years and engaged for 2 1/2 so it was time!

Heading to Chicago/Indiana 10/11-10/20 to see family and friends.  Will be having dinner with Laura on Monday night downtown Chicago.  I will take the South Shore Line into Chicago and meet her at the Michigan Ave office.  She is due on 11/2 so I hope she does not go into labor at dinner!

Cant wait to see my family (dad’s side), dad, Cathy, my sisters, grandparents, aunts/uncles...and my niece and nephew.  They are twins and were born in January.  Jamison & Elyse....so damn cute.  I know I am biased, but they really are so pretty!  Just so happens my mom, Grandpa Keenan, Aunt, and Cousin will be in town too.  So that is a nice coincidence. 

Going to Atlanta for Thanksgiving to see Papa & Grandma Keenan.  Will be seeing Jeanette for dinner on Friday and then will meet some friends for drinks after.  I cannot believe that I have not seen Jeanette in...um...probably like 7 or more years!  It has been so long that I cannot remember the last time I saw her!

Going to Seattle for Christmas to see my mom, brother & stepdad.  That will be nice.  I hae not spent Christmas with them in so long I can’t remember! 

Lots of travel this year. 

Work is good.  Still as the same company for 10 years in March.  Still like my job, still learning lots, and keeping myself challenged.  I get my second sabbatical as of 3/22/09 (4 weeks paid time off in addition to our vacation time!).  I would like to get to Europe.  My friend Molly and I are hoping to get to Italy for a week or so.  We would have WAY too much fun there! 

That’s all I have for now.

Jesus H - I joined Facebook today so I could stalk folks I went to high school with.  I am finding so many people that I have not heard from or about in years and years.  And I am realizing something. . .I think I might be the only female from Henderson High School that is not yet married with kids.  I am not sure if that is good or bad.  Hmm. 

Ebet is revamping my website.  She has made it all pretty again with swirly girly things and colors.  It is so very me (the girl who loves pink and pretty things) - and so very not me (for the part of me that likes to cuss like a sailor and wear flip flops, jeans, and a t-shirt and watch football in a dive bar).  Can’t wait for you all to see it.  It is so cute!

Ebet and I went swimming tonight to get the bodies toned - or make an attempt anyway.  We swam lots for about 25 minutes - got the heart rate up.  I felt the burn.  Then we went to Chick-fil-A. . .hmmmm.  So much for the work out. 

Well we did it. Twelve of us girls went to see Sex and The City on Saturday for a one day early birthday “party” for me. We all agreed to get there early to get the front row with the bar. We all enjoyed it. I cried through most of it as I do these days. I was emotionally exhausted afterwards! I swear crying through a movie is like me getting acupuncture - it is like all of my emotions are released at once and I just cry and cry and cannot stop. Whew. Went to sleep about 11pm and did not get out of bed until 8am.

I could see myself watching the movie in the theatre again I liked it so much. And I never see movies twice in the theatre. Oh Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha, and Big did me proud. I have decided that I still want to be a combo of Charlotte and Carrie. If I only had enough money to buy those clothes! 

So Ebet, Brian & Damon, and I scored tickets to see Tina Turner in October.  We could not pass up the opportunity to see Tina in person.  Hurry up October!

If you are not reading the blog “Charming, but single” you are missing out.  Check her out at:

You need to read her post “The love you don’t feel when you’re holding me”.  Excellent writing.  I feel like a mini stalker or something.  I get a little excited when I am notified that she has posted something new.  Most of all I feel like I can relate to her posts and the things going on in her life.  So keep writing CBS!

Yes.  Yes.  Yes, I am one of those girls who loved Sex and The City.  Love it so much that I am going to drag my girlfriends to see a matinee for my birthday and then drag them for drinks after.  Um yea, like I have to drag any of my girls for drinks.  I think I really just like the show so much because of their fabuous clothes, shoes, and apartments.  I mean how do I get to be Charlotte York?  Cute, prim, proper, married to a Jewish man (yes, I am a wanna be shiksa).  And I have to admit that I still have my crush on Chris Noth that started back when the real Law and Order first came on TV years ago.  Ah Big. 

Seems like people who do not like dogs ("cat lovers") are snooty.  I was walking Lola for her 10pm tinkle.  A neighbor of mine walked out her door and was talking on the phone.  She commented - loudly - that she had to be careful walking in the grass because she had seen piles of poop that day.  She was literally 3 feet from me when she said that.  I felt the need to chime in and say “Well it’s not mine. . .I clean up after my dog.” I probably sounded like a crabby old lady or something, but I felt the need to defend mine and Lola’s honor!  Good night.

Ok so I want to be on the show Biggest Loser really bad...but you have to be able to commit to them for 4 months. Um - hello don’t these contestants have jobs? I can get some time off of work, but FOUR MONTHS? I need to work wherever they work.

Here is what I would do if I lost like 60 pounds and looked damn fine.

1 - wear a bikini
2- wear said bikini to a pool party that had boys in attendance
3 - wear the bikini in question to a Las Vegas hotel pool (everyone knows the pool is “the” scene in Vegas)
4 - wear a bikini while taking Lola for a walk
5 - wear a sports bra and shorts while jogging
6 - wear a sports bra and shorts at the supermarket (preferably when the fireman are doing their grocery shopping)
7 - faint in the sports bra and shorts while in the same aisle as the firemen (only if they are single and cute)
8 - wear a short-ish, age inappropriate, denim skirt and a hot black “tube” top on date with fireman from supermarket (yes, I said tube top so what!)
9 - dance with younger boys while fireman uses restroom...while in my short skirt and tube top
10 - wear an ASU t-shirt that was cut into a dress to the ASU game tailgate (like the 19 year old hoochies do)
11 - prance around said tailgate in my ASU t-shirt that was cut into a dress
12 - ...you get the point…
