Blog EVERY day???

What was I thinking? Promise to blog every day in December? CRAZY! That's me. Guess what? Between being sick and traveling during Christmas, it didn't happen. It was a nice goal, though.

New Profile Picture

I think I would like to use this picture for my profile. What's that you say, who is this skinny girl? It's me during my senior year at Carolina.......thanks to Susan Thomason Haywood for posting her BSU pictures on facebook :-)

Lucky Rabbit's Foot?

Why is carrying a rabbit's foot considered lucky? It sure wasn't lucky for the rabbit. Just wondering........

Welcome Hobie

Here is a picture of my niece's dog, Hobie. She gets to take him home after Christmas. I can't wait for the doggie stories to begin.

O Christmas Tree

Here's the tree. It looks pretty good.

Tinsel and Woes

The only thing worse to me than putting up the Christmas tree is taking down the Christmas tree. Don't have any time to be blogging, but still I must keep up my "blog every day this month" promise, so here it is. My husband loves Christmas and everything about it. I would like to celebrate it maybe in March? Too much to do, too much to eat, just too much. Of course the true meaning of Christmas is the reason we celebrate, but the rest of the stuff is just a pain in the hiney. One thing I remember about my childhood is the stupid aluminum tree we had. UGLY. Then I find out that my husband LOVES those trees. I saw one in an antique shop window last week and so I thought, hey, throw some blue balls on that thing, plug up the color wheel and he will be happy, happy, happy. So, I pull in and guess how much they want for that monstrosity? $175!!!!! Yes, you read that correctly, one hundred and seventy-five dollars. That includes a free color wheel....so here I am today decorating my fake green tree as always...

Zoning Out

Everyone that knows me can agree that I am just a little neurotic. I have to have things just so, including the blinds, doors, and car seats. Apparently as I get older, I get a little more mellow (notice I wrote, "a little"). The other day I had a complete breakdown in my control routine. We had been out running errands and when we pulled back into the driveway and got out of the car, I heard Minnie barking in the back yard. I looked at Nick in total panic. "Why is Minnie in the back yard?!" We always leave the dogs in the house or the garage when we are not home. Not only had I left the dogs in the yard, I had left the back door standing wide open (the storm door was not even locked). I admit that I did this because when we left the house, Nick was standing at the front door waiting for me to get my shoes on and let the dogs in. I got my shoes, grabbed my purse and said, "I'm ready, let's go." And off we went for at least an hour and a half.... good thing we don't have children!

Silly Story for Friday

The other day my nephew's friend's mother told a great story on her youngest son. Her older son was getting a lesson on body parts with his 2 year old brother listening in. Later that night the 2 year old escaped from his bath naked, or nekked as we like to say. He ran through the house yelling at the top of his lungs, "boys have a penie, girls have a dinosaur!"
