Superbowl Sunday

I love Superbowl Sunday! I must admit that this year's teams are not really any of my favorites, but I'm still going to enjoy it. We love to use Superbowl Sunday as an excuse to eat more finger foods like we do on New Year's Eve. I think finger foods rank right up there at the top of my list -- right behind mexican food! I'm going to fix my boys some stuffed mushrooms, and some meatballs for me and Scooby. Plus we have some hot wings that I froze. YUM! Oh - and I guess I'll be pulling for the Colts because: a) I really don't care for the Saints; b) Peyton Manning cracks me up in his commercials; and c) Memaw Jennie and Pawpaw Lawrence gave me a toboggan YEARS ago of the Baltimore Colts. If I could find it, it would probably be worth something. Ha ha! Not sure if "that" team is now the Baltimore Ravens or the Indianapolis Colts -- but I'm going to say it's the Colts now and make that my 3rd reason to pull for them.

And in the spirit of football, here's a page I did a while ago of Squirt's "glory" days. I can thank Squirt and his Midway Eagles team for making me the football fan I am today. And actually, I'm kinda sad football is going to be over after tonight. Obviously, I'll be looking forward to Fall and the kickoff of the next football season.

Happy Dating Anniversary to Darling Hubby

February 4, 1989. I went to Brandy's in "town" with my future sister-in-law (she was a co-worker at the time) and her hubby, BJ. BJ's brother, future DH, was on an Army Reserves trip. He was scheduled to be back around 6:00 so we could meet at 7:00. It didn't work out that way. He was late and I sat there till 11:00 waiting on him. Future SIL kept saying, "He's coming. He will be here." Something made me wait. Destiny maybe?

Well, anyway, he did come . . . and I knew immediately I would end up marrying him. I always knew I would marry someone tall, dark, and handsome. He had the handsome part down, but he wasnt very tall (just a little taller than me) and he wasn't dark, as a matter of fact -- blonde! Ha ha! Funny how those things work out. We decided to give our blind date another chance by meeting up the next night on our own. That worked out and we hit it off.

The rest is history!

Snow Day!

We got SNOW! And lots of it!



See what happens when I get a snow day? We play outside, I take pictures, and then I scrapbook them -- meanwhile, all household chores are neglected. But that's ok cause we're making happy memories.

I've been a bad blogger. I can't believe I didn't even blog Christmas! And what happened to the recipe blog I was going to start? I guess it got swept under the rug. There's just not enough time in the day to do everything I want to do . . . unless I get to stay home for a snow day! ha ha! I actually didn't stay home all day -- I went to work for a little while. My car is in the shop (again!). Well, actually, we picked it up this afternoon because the nice man at the Welcome Texaco couldn't find a thing wrong with it. Gotta love that -- it makes a lovely grinding noise when I apply the brakes -- but only at certain times, and those certain times can never be predicted. Sometimes it's when the car is hot; sometimes it's when the car is cold; sometimes it's when I barely ease on the brakes; sometimes it's when I lightly push the gas pedal. That kind of stuff drives me insane. Oh well - just grin and bear it I guess.

And now they are calling for more bad weather tonight, tomorrow, and later this week. I'm ready for Spring!

Wordless Wednesday

It's nearly impossible for me to be wordless. I can't believe it's Wednesday again. Fast week! So to get us in the Christmas spirit, here's a Christmas page. It's coming quick!

Wordless Wednesday - Again!

Wordless Wednesday - Almost!

I've seen this on other blogs, and I like the idea. It's the perfect time to load up a scrapbook page and let it do the talking. So, I'm going to try to follow that theory every Wednesday.

Here's today's Wordless Wednesday post:


ughhh - I think the rain is messing something up . . . it's not letting me upload a photo. So rather than stay up all night, I'll just do it tomorrow.

G'nite!

Happy Thanksgiving, Part 2

They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. Here's the 2nd half of our Thanksgiving Day. Squirt and Scooby were delighted to finally see their cousin, Richie and his sweet girlfriend, KP. We had tons of wonderful food! Uncle V made me giggle when he stuck his croissant in is pocket! What was up with that? According to him, he didn't have room on his plate for it, so it went in his pocket. Too funny! Kathy had the table set beautifully, and Papa Bear, myself, and Richie were assigned to the "grown-up" table with the siblings. She wanted Richie to spend time with his grandparents (which was a good idea!). Uncle V and Aunt Pat, Uncle Willie, Aunt Nettie, and Mama and Daddy were also seated at the big table. That left 2 open spots -- and Kathy said Papa Bear and myself would be dining at the grown-up table because we never sit with my parents. It was nice to hear them chit-chat, although it did get a little politically heavy. ha ha! And even though I have bought into Al Gore's global warming idea, they are all convinced "he's a crook." Me and Papa Bear had just seen a program on that the other night, but we just kept shoveling in our food and decided it best not to comment on that conversation. We had to be on our best behavior -- we were, after all, at the grown-up table. We actually got a good laugh when they started talking about the couple that somehow made it past White House security to attend a state dinner that President Obama hosted the other night. Other topics of conversation also included a story about a Timewarner employee who rode down the road, just past Uncle Willie's house, spotted what appeared to be a bear in the field, rode by, turned around, and confirmed that it was indeed a black bear. BEARS!?! In Midway?!? I was fascinated by that story. Sure hope my pups don't run across the big mean bear one night.
