1981-1982 Class Picture


The first boy I crushed over emailed me this. We were never a couple, possibly because I was ALWAYS the Jolly Green Giant and well, he was not. Not to mention, we were like 6 when my love for him began.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Good times, good times.

Twas The Night Before Christmas


and all through the house - EVERYONE was stirring - even the mouse.

Wishing you all a night full of excitement and a morning full of love.

Merry Christmas!!!

3 Days Until Christmas...


and I am high on my Soco and eggnog. I CAN NOT drink the water. We all know what happens when you drink the water.

I am now like the last girl standing.

A Southern Thank You



As a thank you from a family friend well rooted in her southern heritage, I received a years subscription to Southern Living.

I think the magazine is great. I just hope the next time she visits, she doesn't 'quiz' me on the recipes the mag is overflowing with.

No matter how long I live in the south, I will never be a southern lady of the kitchen. I am the yankee chick - in front of the tv - watching football - drinking a beer with the boys.

Adding Insult To Injury


They are showing clips of Cyrano De Begerac on the Today Show this morning.

Hmmm...I wonder if I could get one more trip as a Xmas gift...

It Does Not Feel Like Christmas...

Anyone know how much a snow machine costs???

Things That Make You Go Hmmm...


My all time favorite song lyric/title - Things That Make You Go Hmmm. It is just so true. There are some things I often just say "Hmmm..." to.

Thank God I have the ability to say "F&^% it" too.

I know, I know...another cryptic post.

Things that make you go hmmm... ;)

She Has Been Holding Out


My lil B has been living a double life. Little did I know she has been acting. Not surprising, she doesn't have to 'act' much. She is a natural for the part.

Thanks to MommaPeas for this CLASSIC find!!! XOXO">

She DID Have a Mullet



And none of my friends told me. My mother - of course - was honest. She advised me to cut the back of lil B's hair. "It looks stringy and silly. A nice cut will help." Ever since, I have had this itching knowledge that my baby was sporting a mullet.

I broke down and had her first hair cut. Her hair looks a 100x better. Plus, I got to witness the inner Diva in my baby. She LOVED being pampered. Daddy better find a second job. He already compared her $20.00 cut to his $9.00 cut.

Then again...have you seen his hair. ;)
