Weekend, et al...

First off, R... your comment made me smile. Love you!

Weekend... I spent with L., G., and the babies. We went swimming. So much fun!! Saturday, I met up with them after running by the mall. While in the mall, I got kicked by little kids and hit by an older lady. It was an accident, and she apologized, but it scared me when I suddenly got whacked in the back! She thought I was her granddaughter and that she would be funny, but when I turned around, she was very surprised!

*Note to self: do not shop alone in a major mall on tax-free weekend.

**2nd Note to self: Next time, wear shin guards and a protective vest, too.

Saturday night, the bunch of us caught a Lookouts game. They lost (surprise, surprise), but it was a good game, and the kids LOVED the ice cream in baseball hats and the rather spectacular fireworks display. I am seriously going to try to catch a few more games before the season is over!

Yesterday, church, then lunch with a few friends, great convo with a Lee professor's wife and daughter, and dinner more folks.

Eventful to say the least.

Link love

I've been known to periodically add and promote websites that make me laugh. TBS has a daily Flog (Funny blog) that they update VERY regularly. Go check it out!

Now I ain't sayin' he's a gold digga...

We took in a baseball game on Saturday night. I captured this photo purely by accident. But I loved it,... so I kept it.

To whom it may concern,

I would no longer like to be the resident drama queen.

Thank you,
Management

Another night, another dream...

Still no word on the J-O-B front. We were supposed to hear yay or nay today, but the hiring manager isn't here.

BOO.

Friends of mine watched 300 last night. I had a birthday for a four-year old to attend to.

Let's just say I left with pink hair.

It was FAB-Ulous.

And a tummy-ache from eating a cupcake.

My BFF is in town with her husband and three kids. I CANNOT wait to see them! I imagine they are touring Rock City right now (hopefully), and tomorrow we are probably all going to go to the Discovery Kids Museum or the Aquarium.

It's pathetic that, I've lived here 8 years (in three weeks), and I've never been to the Aquarium, IMAX, Rock City, or Ruby Falls. I've been up Lookout Mountain, but I've never done anything up there.

Maybe that should be a 2007 goal, huh? I might rule out Rock City. Dark places deep in the earth give me claustrophobia. Yikes.

On the conceited side... I bought the prettiest top and wore it to work today.

With 3 inch stilletos that my boss promptly called "Street Walker Shoes".

Then I reminded her that her 13-year old daughter wanted to buy a Corona [beer] bikini, and that my street walkin' shoes weren't so bad. Considering I'm of LEGAL age.

Peace out.

Mix-it-up

I'm really enjoy random posting. I may try this for a while.

I finally upgraded to Flickr pro. That my be my Christmas gift to two of my blog friends. There's your heads' up. I'm totally addicted to that site. Now, I'm just uploading every picture I can find!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you to A. & J. for your honesty with me. It made me cry (imagine that) but also served as further confirmation in my heart and head that I still really need Jesus to heal my heart. I guess I knew that, but didn't want to admit it so readily.

I want to go and tell every single man that I know that, "Actions speak louder than Words". You learned that in kindergarten. If you invest in the lives of single women, your actions will completely override your lip service. If you want us to believe differently, then get your mouth and your actions in line.

My very best friend and her family (husband and THREE kids) will be in Tennessee this weekend! I am so excited!!! I have two other people who are coming into town, ... and I have no idea when or if I will get to see them. I'm not promising anything for fear I won't be able to get free.

My little friend Riley Jo turns 4 today. She is a mess! I can't believe she's four... WOW.

I am delinquent in returning texts and voicemails. Sorry y'all! I'll respond soon!

Man of Steel... and more

I did want to share a little note about one of the pictures. I was waiting in line for the group picture (that you get when you walk in the park) to be printed. Porky Pig walked up, and I thought it would be cute to have a picture with Him. While posing, Porky threw up the peace sign, and part of the expression on my face is why would Porky do that? Is he a pig on a mission for World Peace? Is Porky secretly in a gang? Is there a War in Six Flags or the ATL that I don't know about where Porky feels obligated to "represent"?? I was confused and VERY amused. It was just an odd sign for a fictional cartoon character to "throw up". So... I thought I should to. I mean, pigs need support you know.
