New Favorite Store and Giveaway

My new BBF Ashley at According to Ashley introduced me to an awesome online store today. It is so cute. So my personality. Seriously guys...when you all rush in September to get my b-day present...get it from here:

Swoozies

After finding this new love, I may need a second job! Here's a few of my favs:

Are those not the cutest? Now back to my Bff Ashley. She's hosting a swoozie giveaway! Does it get any better than that? So trot over to her blog and check it out! I'm gonna keep trying on these giveaways. I figure if I enter enough of them, eventually I'll have to win.

Maybe I'll host a giveaway on my 100th post....this is 58, so stick around!

It's looking yuck outside. Michael's working, I have a ton of errands to fun, I need to swing by a church for a receiving of friends for a friend's dad, swing by school to finish getting ready for a sub on Monday and clean house. As I lay here listening to the rain, I realize that during the big move I made in July, I didn't move an umbrella with me. My mom seriously hordes umbrellas. It's crazy. Guess I'll have to get this one from Swoozie:

Do you believe me now when I say I really like that store?

Next week is going to be a busy week. Our Church is having revival with Bro. Wayne Sexton. Mom's appointment is Monday at Vanderbilt. Keep praying! I've decided to go with her. We're taking an over-night bag just in case.

As Porky pig would say....that's all folks.

Kindergarten teacher by day--Car repo-er by night

Seriously how many of you can say that you’ve ever been part of a car reprocessing? And I do mean on the taking-end not the taken-from end. Well I can’t say I have either, but I came really close Tuesday night. And from the moment the story first started developing I knew it was going to be great blog material. Ha! I’m really sad that we didn’t actually get to take a car but we were totally prepared to do so if opportunity permitted.


It was actually a rental car from the place Michael works. It had been rented for over a month. I’m dying to let loose on some good Repo-Joe jokes, but I will reframe). Michael was given the key and told to go get it. So we found the address…and let me just tell you, it was a nice nice subdivision (these people had no need to be repo-ed from) (or actually maybe all their money went to the house payment). We drove by the house several times….no car. We drove by with the windows down pushing the panic button (to see if it was in the garage)…no car. Michael even knocked on the front door…no car. Funny thing, it was returned that night after we tried to make the pick-up.


I’m serious thinking about an evening job! I was thinking about the bounty-hunter but I hear now there is a car-repo-tv show...Maybe I'm better suited for that.

A little this and a little that (Randomness)

I always have great ideas for a post, then I write a post, publish it, and realize that I forget to include half of my great ideas. I thought I'd do a quick lil post on things I forgot to tell my blog-reading-friends.

• The 11 inches that was cut off my hair went to locks of love. I had always wanted to do that.
• I love love my new hairstyle style. I feel like a new woman, and best of all, no one has said anything negative about it (at least not to my face).
• Last night I took this to brothers. I had been wanting to make it. If you need the ultimate sweet fix, you should try it. Pretty yummy!
• I really want to win this, but haven't been able to leave her a comment. Something is wrong with the verification part of blogger. I'm starting to get sad about it! (Update: Not sure what I did different, but it just worked! Hooray!)
• My roses are dead.

That's all for now. I'll remember more later.

At the brothers

I got a text from brother today inviting us up tonight for dinner. It was very sweet. For those of you who don't know...Dad's back in the states (I'm guessing for not long, but we'll see). It was nice to spend time with all of them. We had a great dinner and a hoot playing apples to apples. And you, my lucky blog readers, are just that...lucky, because I took my camera for documentation. Without further delay.....

Dad and the dignified card.

Cute cute!

I tried really hard to get her cute lil button on here but couldn't get the whole thing to copy and paste. Some of tech savy friends will have to explain the how-to to me.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Now you see it.....

Made a small change today!
