On the road again

We're taking off for Nashville this afternoon. Don's great aunt passed away so we are going up there for the funeral. She was 81 and was such a sweet lady. Anyway, I'll check all your blogs when I return and hope that I didn't miss any exciting posts! I hope I don't get the "shakes" from not being able to get on the computer!

FYI - I went to the gym yesterday and I'm feeling the pain today. Although, because of our trip I won't be able to go back for several days. I sure hope I don't fall off the wagon...

Just another Sunday evening...

I'm back to blog world! Where have I been you ask...well, on Thursday and Friday I went to see a friend in Charleston. For some reason when I got back I just didn't do much blogging. So, I've got a lot of reading to do tonight!

Is anyone else watching the Grammys? Why are those people so weird? I swear - some of the outfits they wear are unreal. Oh, and did you see Cher? She has made some plastic surgeon a really rich man - if you know what I mean. Oh wait, Brad Paisley is singing one of my favorite country songs - it's called "I'd like to check you for ticks."

Max's school had a Valentine's dance this past Friday - hilarious! Check out Melissa's blog to see a picture of him dancing. Too cute!

Okay, tomorrow is the big day...I'm going to the GYM (I hope my card still works). Last year (notice I said last YEAR), I was hooked on this class called "Tread and Shed." It's an hour long cardio workout on the treadmill. The teacher has you walk, then do sprints, then walk on a high incline, and also walk backwards - crazy. So, as of 9:30 tonight I am planning on going. Why do I do this to myself? I work out for several months and get to a point where I'm feeling good and seeing results - and then I stop - WHY? I just wish it was in my blood to exercise. Unfortunately, the only thing in my blood right now is that #2 mammoth Reeses peanut butter heart I just ate...

BUSTED!

Okay girls, my husband found me out!

I really don't try and keep secrets from him, but for some reason I didn't want to tell him or my family I had a blog. I think I did that because I was going to use my blog as more of a journal and the last thing I wanted was my family heckling me about my inner most thoughts (I've got you guys to do that).

Anyway, I decided this weekend that I would tell him (I spend a lot of time on the computer at night so I didn't want him to think I had a cyber boyfriend). So, I said "Honey, I've been holding out on you about something - do you want to know what it is?" Well, that little stinker already knew! By the way, HI DON!

So, just as an FYI, please refrain from trash talking my husband. BUT, feel free to say what a wonderful person I am and how lucky he must feel to have me as his wonderful, devoted and loving wife.

Here are a few pictures from the past couple of days. We went to the circus on Thursday night with my sister's family and my mom. On Saturday, a friend and her daughter went with me and Max to eat lunch. Now, this wasn't your quick jaunt to the local McDonalds. No, we drove an hour just to get to this hole-in-the-wall "meat and three" joint. They have the BEST fried chicken and the best sweet tea in the world (my hips thanked me all the way home). Then Sunday afternoon, my sister had a surprise birthday party for my niece, Lily, who is turning 8 tomorrow. The party was at my mom's house so we just stayed there and hung out for the Super Bowl. I "staged" a few pics of my family watching the Super Bowl - who knew they could be such good sports!

Hope everyone has a great week!

I got pimped!

What do you think? I wanted a change and this cool chick gave me just that. Check her out - maybe you can get pimped too!

The following pictures are for the Reber sisters...does this place look familiar? Please notice the little fellow standing in front of the building - he's mine!

My sweet boy

So I've been working on a project for the past few days. I have a TON of digital photos that are taking up a lot of computer space so I'm trying to delete the bad ones, get rid of duplicates and organize them by date. After that's all done I'm going to have them put on CD's so I can get them off my computer (by the way, Shutterfly will do it for you pretty cheap and I can also keep my pictures stored on their site).

Anyway, in doing that, I have come across some pictures that I haven't looked at in awhile. Here are just a few favorites of my boy - starting with the day he was born and was a tiny little thing!

Texas Roadhouse

Yeast rolls with cinnamon butter...sweet tea...yummy grilled chicken salad...country music...my boy, Max, sitting right next to me...doesn't get much better than that!

Home again, home again

Yesterday was Max's first day back to school after having hand, foot, mouth for over a week. It was so nice to have a few hours to myself and get some things done. Well, it didn't last long...he woke up this morning with a bad cough and yucky nose and eyes. We've played with his trains, did coloring/finger painting and watched a movie - any other suggestions on how to keep a 4 year old entertained???

I'm addicted to this blog. Some of you may have already seen it, but wow, this guy has such a positive spirit about him. Check it out when you get a few minutes. His wife is in the hospital waiting for a double lung transplant. Oh, and she also just happened to give birth to their daughter who was born over 3 1/2 months premature. Makes Max's early arrival seem like no big deal! :)
