Girl's Night (Plus Studley)

I LOVE Monday nights! Here we are for yet another FABULOUS Girl's Night and this time, we let a boy in. Our own Studley Joe Saling, aka Director of Area Marketing, joined us for Pizza, the Hangover, and girl talk... well he left before the girl talk, but was entertaining all the same. I know I said it last week, but THIS Girl's Night was the best!

In this pic we have Me (the big marshmallow puff on the left), Studley, Keely, Leah, Katie and Pris.

I LOVE Fruit Loops. Possibly one of the greatest cereals of all time, second only to Crispy Critters which are completely old school and haven't been in production since I was very young but I still remember them as being my all time favorite. Obviously this wasn't an extremely exciting day as the highlight was going to Big Lots and buying some Fruit Loops, but they are quite delightful and now Jay Leno is coming on. Got to catch up on all the daily news...

Honeybelles!!

IT's that fabulous time of year.... time for the honeybelle oranges! I've been told I didn't like them when I was little, but I can't remember a time when I didn't LOVE these things! For those of you that don't know, my Aunt Ila Vee and Uncle Bert used to always send us a box when they lived in West Palm Beach, Florida and even since they have moved to AL they still send us a box every January! These are without a doubt the best oranges you will ever eat in your life! They are HUGE beyond huge, very juicy and extremely sweet and have been my breakfast this week! Chef and I shared one yesterday and Miranda and I shared one this morning. Everyone at the Marriott is in agreement that these are better than any store bought orange anywhere! THANKS TO AUNT ILA VEE AND UNCLE BERT!

My new threads!

Friends and Family, I can't EVEN begin to tell you how happy this picture has made me. As a few of you are aware, there was this certain quarterback during my stint at UNA who was, let's just say it, on the level of Peyton Manning in his football ability and 10,000 times better looking. He was also just as sweet as a certain guy named Tim Tebow. Well, GUESS WHAT I ACQUIRED THIS WEEK?! No, unfortunately it was not my beloved AJ Milwee, but it was his old jersey. Too long of a story to go into, but I have ended up with the treasured #4 jersey. (And no, I didn't steal it. Everything was legal... sort of.) One day, it will be worth millions, but the memories of my dear AJ... priceless! :0)

My Fav 4 (Minus One Nancy Byrd)

GiRl'S nIgHt!!! Yes, our latest installment of Monday night entertainment. I think this has been the best yet. Very entertaining with stories from Prissy and Nancy Byrd. For those of you unfamiliar with my fabuolous work friends, Leah is on the left, Pris is in the middle, and our fantastic IT Manager Katie is on the far right. Here, they are practicing the chin up pose as to not show a double chin. I had to take the pic about 3 times because I was laughing so hard that I kept shaking the camera. I guess you had to be there. Nancy Byrd opted out the this photo and was sitting beside me. And for added fun, the gentleman sitting directly behind Leah nearly sat down at our table by mistake. Again, you had to be there. It was the funniest thing!

Goody Bag!

Happy Birthday to my little cousins, Nick and JonDawson! They both celebrated birthdays today at Grandma's house. Although I missed the party, Grandma sent me a goody bag, complete with her famous iced oatmeal cookies and some m&ms.

The cold gets colder...

Holy Cow it is COLD in Alabama! When Grandma saw snow birds a few weeks ago, she said it'd be a cold winter and she was right! I spent the night with her last night and felt like royalty. She had the bed fixed up with a sheet, 2 homemade quilts, a comforter and a heating blanket (and of course, one of her 2x gowns that no matter how many times I take pjs, I still must sleep in her gown). She even had the covers pulled back and 6 scrambled eggs and toast. We got up at the crack of dawn and had more scrambled eggs, homemade biscuts, and gravy. Then we went "and made a grocery bill" and came back for pizza. Yes, I have gained 6 lbs in less than 24 hours. The pics are of Marshall's Fish Pond just below Grandma's house. It is completely iced over!!!
