It's That Time Again..

Time for Hobby Lobby to put their wrapping paper on sale for 50% off!! And what's my rule? Yes, get the paper that makes me laugh the hardest. Who cares what color or design, so long as it's funny. After careful searching, I ran upon this. It looks like the brown paper bags (or polks as Grandma says) that we used to get from shopping at Bill and Sons. In red letters HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO was stamped all over it. Cracked me up. Greatest paper of the season. However, since I am in charge of young children now and their presents will be wrapped in said paper, I went with the bright white with silver crosses. It's very pretty. I'm not ruling out going back and getting my HOHOHOHOHOHO paper. Good stuff. :0)

The Girls...

We made turkey necklaces today. It was so much fun. During the midst of it, the following conversation takes place:

Brooklynn: Miss Kim, Hand me his jangly thing!

Me: His WHAT?

Brooklynn: His jangly thing.

Mallie: It's called the red hangy ball.

Brooklynn: Whatever it is. What is it?

Me: (About to fall out of my chair laughing) I have no idea. Jangly thing sounds good.

Hys-terical!! :0)

What a Day!

This was my day. First I saw a St. Bernard, my St. Bernard Lulu, show us how she sits ina lawn chair. Then I saw my Grandma. You are seeing the backside of her. It drives her insane that I always have the camera and always need a pic. She was hilarious. There was a fly TORMENTING her and she told us she'd tried to hit it with the fly-flip, but that didn't work and so she resorted to a can of RAID. Every time the fly would land somewhere, she'd shoot at it from her chair. Hil-arious. Then I went to one of my very good friends wedding. Here are a couple of her cats. The pics don't do justice to how big they are. Louie, the black one, is a manecoon. He's HUGE. Oscar is the greyish one. The cupcakes are from Gi-Gi's. SO STINKIN GOOD. A few of us camped out at the cupcakes instead of joinint the reception, downstairs. Definitely a good choice. :0)

Friday Night Lights..

Friday Nights in the South don't get any more exciting than this one. The poor Bears didn't pull out a win, but it sure was an exciting game. I was a nervous wreck. The rednecks on redneck hill were shooting off fireworks all night and the crazies from RA Hubbard brought their cannon that they kept booming all night. I was stressed. However, it was fun to see all of the people I haven't seen in forever. I haven't changed a bit since I was a kid. I still can't sit through a game and just watch it. I had to go socialize with any and everybody. That part was fun. The game ended up 34-30. Here's a pic of the mighty Bears after the defeat. My buddy Phil is the coach in red on the right hand side. Felt bad for him. He's the most competitive guy I know. Oh well... now it's on to softball where I'm sure he'll land back in the State Tourney. Good night!! :0)

Where in the World?!

My darling Aunt Skipper insists that she needs a globe. Her grandson, my cousin, Matthew is in the ARMY and is currently stationed in Afghanastan. Skip needs to know where that is and insisted that she needed a globe so she could keep track of him. So tonight, I made my way over to Hobby Lobby and got her one. My sister said when taking the pic, I should be sure and show you Iceland. It's that teeny, tiny orange dot just to the right of the bar at the very top. :0)

Charlie St. Cloud

We got a new movie! I tend to pick the saddest, most depressing movies. We are only 37 minutes into this one though and I'm confident it's a keeper. I'm starting to like that Zac Efron now that he's finished dancing around on High School Musical. Good stuff. I'll let you know how the next hour and a half goes... :0)

*Disclaimer: I'm Still NOT an AL Fan...

Tonight, we hosted the Josh Willingham Foundation Fundraiser at the Conference Center. Josh is the left fielder for the Nationals. Now he's no where near as fabulous as Chipper Jones, but he is a really nice guy and pretty darn funny. He also had a great guest speaker at his event tonight, Mr. Gene Stallings. Coach Stallings is an EXCELLENT speaker. I could've listened to him tell stories all night. He mostly spoke about John Mark, or Johnny as he called him. He told one story of when he was going to introduce Johnny to Tom Landry. He said, "We went over it at least fifty times. I told him that we'd walk into the office and I'd say, Coach Landry I'd like you to meet my son, Johnny. Johnny, I'd like you to meet Coach Landry. And then, I want you to say, It's nice to meet you Coach Landry." He just knew they had it down pat. So they go in and he says, "Coach Landry, I'd like you to meet my son Johnny. Johnny, I'd like you to meet Coach Landry." Then, without missing a beat, Johnny said, "Hi Tom." Hil-arious.
You could tell he loved John Mark more than anything in the world. It was good stuff. Not enough to convert me to an AL fan, but definitely a Gene Stallings fan. He was awesome. Now, I'm going to prop up my feet because I just worked 13 hours and my back and feet are SCREAMING. Love to all! :0)
