I got a present from my best good friend Erin the other day.

A “sussy” as she calls it. That means a surprise in her language.

There’s Erin in the middle, and my other best good friend Mrs. Z on the right.
You’ll never guess what the “sussy” was.

Not just one, but two Bob Ross T-shirts.
You see, the other day I was wishing I had these shirts.
Actually, I blogged about it here. https://chroniclesofarocketsurgeon.com/2011/04/13/a-dirty-little-secret-no-i-am-not-ashamed/
I took a vow, kinda like a monk, to not buy new clothes the entire year of 2011. Not a T-shirt for Field Day, not a new pair of panties, not even a Bob Ross shirt. So Erin helped me out.
Mrs. Z (the one pictured up on the right) gave me a mountain of clothes the other day herself. Pity clothes is what I call them. If you want some new threads, but you don’t want to pay for them, just announce that you’re not buying any new clothes for a year. Then find some good friends like I have.
Between these 2 girls, I shant go naked.
And that’s good for everyone.

I’m Angel, a.k.a. Rocket Surgeon, and these are my chronicles. I love writing and I believe our stories should be shared, so here you’ll find anecdotes of my life, loves, worries, fears, joys, and experiences.
I blog about my mishaps and adventures as a wife, mommy, auntie, wanna-be writer, teacher, Texan, country/city/mountain girl, cereal killer and Jesus-freak.
A few things you might discover about me:
•Jesus is my everything; without Him I am nothing, but with him I can do all things
•My family makes this world a better place for me to live in
•I adore chickens, the live ones, although the cooked ones aren’t too bad either
•I have 2 dogs: Grace and Ozzie. And one cat: Rocky Muffin
•My dream job would be to raise chickens and write best sellers
Thanks for stopping by. Kick off your shoes and stay awhile. I know your time is valuable and I honor you for spending a few moments here with me. I hope you find something to brighten your day, lighten your load, make you chuckle and remind you of the good in the world.

He looks just like my friend John Reid. If fact, although Bob Ross has been dead for 10 years probably, John still gets autograph requests in airports and such. He said sometimes he signs his own name.
