My Mamaw

Happy Birthday to my dear ol' Mamaw today! She is 89! Without her life would simply not be the same. She is a woman of few words. She is a woman of courage. She is a woman of love. She is a woman of strength. And she is a woman of loving to gossip... usually on accident =) And for all these things, I Love Her!!

My great aunt Bunny, me, and Mamaw

When In Doubt--

I noticed recently that my diet was lacking in a few key ingredients... oh lets just call them essential nutrients? Ya, probably not a good idea. So, I have now resorted to this....

Meet the freaking Bedrocks. Yep, the gangs all here!

Good or Bad?

Call me crazy, call me naive, call me stupid, but I am a firm believer in the statement that follows.

--There are no bad people, only bad decisions.--

Thats my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

Thank You

Thank You.

My One and Only Dream Job

For those of you who don't know me one-ioda... If I could choose any profession above all else and be more content than words can describe, it would be at Sea World. (That is really me running along that class tank... I shaved my head) I don't know why I have such a fasination with sea creatures, but ever since I was little I have wanted to be a whale trainer more than anything! I would take that hands down over a doctor, a lawyer, or heck even a TV star... now that's sayin somethin...

Me, the whales, and the water. Perfect.

This past week I had the lovely chance of visiting my home away from home with the most majestic creatures. Some of those "creatures" tended to be my relatives.. only I wouldn't quite describe them as majestic.... maybe.... well, we won't go there.

Missin' Out

For those of you who have never ventured to the dear ol' south... you are not only missing out on entertainment, but also simply life changing experiences.

--Let me explain--

This morning at 11:30 am, my mother and I went to Wal-Mart (aka hell-hole of the world) We left after picking up a few items. As we drove home the car turned into Hardee's. And for those of you who don't have a Hardee's, well... you should probably keep it that way. I always get on my mom because she is heavily addicted to Diet coke. We are talking about a consumption rate at about 80 oz. od DC daily... problem? Possibly. She swears up and down that she didn't turn in to get a coke, that the car is just programed to know what she needs and went there by itself! ya... right.

Pulling up to order her usual, we are greeted by a "Welcome to Hardee's, would you like to try a... (followed by whatever the special of the day is)" Today it was a hamlkjsndfnsdfjksd (aka indecipherable word) chicken tender?" My mom didn't respond to the woman merely because she had no earthly clue what she uttered.

She ordered her coke. We pulled up to the window and right before we got there I said "Mom, did she offer you a hamburger chicken tender?" Mom says "I honestly have no idea." Well she proceeds to ask the woman if that is what she offered us. The attendant responds "Haha, no I said would you like a handkfasdljfldskjflksdjn chicken tender!" Still didn't get it.

We finally figure out that she offered a HAND BREADED CHICKEN TENDER... not a hamburger chicken tender. Bless her heart.. this communication error was most likely due to the lack of teeth the woman had... Never the less we got my mom's coke.. and that is all. that. matters.

Bring Out The Toys

Yesterday I took all the children to see Toy Story 3. What a fabulous movie!! And for those of you who know me... you know what a bleeding heart/emotional wreck/ freak/ uncontrollable tear machine I am. I may or may not have cried ( I'll let yall decide )

I love my children. Well.. they aren't mine but they might as well be. I have people ask me daily how old they are and how old I am... seriously folks. I didn't start conceiving when I was 10...

They highlight of the movie was watching and listening to Miles. He had never been to a 3D movie and the whole time was trying to reach out and touch everything. So cute. BUT he also is quite the little singer. And believe it or not he has a good voice. And at the beginning of the movie I hear him just a-singin' to himself "You've got a friend in me, you've got a friend in me." So great. I love all my children, even though they give me a dang good run for my money.
