Happy Halloween

While actually having the flu has been a horrible experience, I hate to admit that I'm very glad I got the flu. I guess the flu was God's way of giving me a little alone time with my family. I've been really homesick lately and I really needed this time at home. I've enjoyed every minute of being around my Mom, Dad, and sisters, except for the "feeling like crap" part. Having the flu has allowed me to rest, forget about the stress of my normal life, and just sit back and enjoy my family...when I wasn't asleep...or aching...or coughing..or running fever..so for like 10 minutes I go to enjoy my family :)

I guess that valuable time with my family was the silver lining to my cloud.

Look what we did Wednesday while I was feeling better.  We carved a Pumpkin!! Momma picked up a carving kit at Wal-Mart and we made this fantabulous kitty cat! Doesn't it look great!?And with moms help, I made a sad attempt at the Rainbow cake MckMamma posted on her blog. While our cake looked nothing near what her amazing cake looked like, I'm sure it tasted just as good. It was so much fun to make, even though It didn't turn out the prettiest! I can't wait to make it again and keep on trying to perfect it! I think we made the layers a little thick and we ran out of icing. ha! Mom laughed every time she looked at the cake because it was so tall and lumpy!  ha just looking at the picture of it makes me laugh!


I guess all the pumpkin carving and cake baking made me overdo it because I woke up Thursday with a low fever and sick again.  I'm still not feeling well but I think this is the last of it.  Yay!!  A restful weekend should help me be 100%.

Have a Happy Halloween!!

Top Ten Thursday

Today is Top Ten Thursday!  I've kind of revamped today's top 10 and made it into ...
The top 19 things you never wanted to know about Me & Sean!  I got this from Kelly over at Keeping up with Kelly & Co. She wrote a post the other day that I just had to steal because it was so cute!! You will have to go check it out!  Also, head on over to My messy Paradise to see More top 10 Thursday Posts!!

So enjoy reading about me & Sean and go Ahead...steal it from me..I'd love to see yours!

1. What are your middle names?
Sean's is Louis after his grandfather and mine is Lane because my Mom liked Soap-Operas and Lane was a character on Flamingo Road. And just FYI "Jenna" was also taken from a Soap Opera you might remember... "Dallas." Jenna was played by Priscilla Presley.
2. How long have you been together?
Feels like FOREVER... But really only a short 2 years before marriage and thanks to the Facebook Weddingbook I know we've been married for 509 days. Sean called me the other day and informed me that it was our 500 day anniversary, so as a joke I bought a card and it was really funny..
3. How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Um.. we started "dating" right away so maybe 2 hours. But we didn't start dating exclusively for about 6 weeks after that.
4. Did you go to the same school?
Nope

5. Are you from the same home town?
No I lived 1 1/2 hours south west of Sean to be precise.

6. Who is the smartest?
Book Smart? Sean. Sean has more useless trivia knowledge in his mind than anyone I've ever met in my life. We play a trivia game on the PS2 called "buzz" and I finally beat him a few weeks ago and He pouted. I think I'm smarter when it comes to budgeting and money and grown up stuff :)
7. Who is the most sensitive?
Sometimes I think Sean was born without feelings. Just kidding:) Me for sure. I cry when I see a pretty cloud in the sky.
8. Who has the worst temper?
That is currently up for debate.
9. Who does the cooking?
Sean and I both cook together....well actually Sean cooks, and I watch and learn. He's an amazing cook.

10. Who is the neat freak?
Neither of us our neat freaks. I guess Banjo would be the neat freak in our family. He's never dirty and he puts all his toys in little piles.
11. Who is the most stubborn?
Toss a coin, we are both about the same and we're pretty far up there on the stubborn scale. It's why we argue so much, but at least we both know it right?
12. Who wakes up earlier?
Me, always me. Sean could sleep through a train wreck so if he ever has to wake up early, I wake up to the sound of his alarm first, then I wake him up.

13. Who is more jealous?
Probably me, but really neither one of us are that jealous anymore.
14. How long did it take to get serious?
I guess a few months.
15. Who eats more?
Me sadly.

16. Who does the laundry?
I normally do the laundry but Sean helps out a lot when I'm busy.
17. Who's better with the computer?
Well since I sit in front of one almost 24 hours a day, Me. Ask who's better with hands on tools? Sean
18. Who drives when you are together?
It depends. If we take my Tahoe, I usually Drive unless I don't want to listen to Sean complain about how horrible of a driver I am. He has a huge Dodge Diesel Truck that I am nervous to drive so he always drives that. Plus, when we take his truck we are usually pulling a trailer and I refuse to drive in that circumstance.

19. What is your song?
Hahaha. We don't have a song but Sean likes to make up silly songs on his Guitar and he wrote one the other night on the spot while I was doing laundry. It was a Mexican Love Ballad, and it was Hilarious. I really wish I could remember all of what he said because you would DIE of laughter but he declared it "our Song"


This is the earliest Picture I can find of me and Sean. It was about three months after we met. Oh how young and skinny we look!

So now that you just wasted 10 minutes of your life that you'll never get back..and now know more information that you ever wished to know about Me and Sean, have a great Thursday!!

Lady Bug, Lady Bug

It is a gorgeous day here in my hometown in as my dad says, L.A. (Lower Arkansas) The weather is perfect. It couldn't be any more perfect. Well If I didn't have the flu... that would make it more perfect. I feel a whole lot better compared to yesterday and I think I'm finally on the mend. So far no fever today!!

I went outside to sit on the front porch for awhile to get a little fresh air and some sun. I thought that might make me feel better...and it did!! I wandered out into the yard and sat down in the grass and just enjoyed the cool breeze on my face and watched the leaves flutter to the ground. The colors here are beautiful and the leaves are slowing starting to fall. I love this time of year!!

I laid down in the grass and just soaked up the sun. I watched a hawk float along in the sky and listened to the crows caw and the quite sound of No Interstate! Mine and Sean's house on the Circle T is very near the Interstate, its just on the other side of the river, about half a mile. You can always hear the interstate. I really never notice the noise until I get to my hometown and then I notice the noise of the interstate is not there.

As I laid on my back and looked at the beautiful earth, the beautiful Sky, and felt the wind on my face I couldn't help but wonder how someone could experience this beauty and Not believe in God. His presence is everywhere out here. It floors me!

I took these photos earlier and they reminded me of a poem I used to say when I was little.

"Lady Bug, Lady Bug, Fly away home. Your house is on fire and your children are home!"

As I say it now I think.. How Cruel!! How Morbid! Her kids are at home and her house is on fire?! Someone save them!! When I was little I thought it was fun to catch the lady bugs and them throw them up and make them fly away while reciting that neat poem. Now I'm just disturbed....somewhere out there here house is on fire and her children are there!! Help her!!
Seriously though, Enjoy this weather!!! Fall is my favorite time of year and It's rained so much this year I haven't got to enjoy it much!! Have a wonderful end of the week!!

Oh Deer

I'm feeling a little better and since I slept all day long, I can't seem to go back to sleep now. I'm still achy and stuffy but the coughing has postponed itself until the cough medicine wears off and the fever has broken hopefully for good. I'm currently day four of the flu, which is hopefully the beginning of the end.

So now that I'm up I wanted to get a story off my chest before I forget. So it was just recently muzzle loading season here in Central Arkansas (deer hunting with a certain type of gun) Sean went hunting almost every morning/evening of the season and saw a few deer. Sunday was the last day and he and his friend Jaret went out into the hay meadow to sit upon the stands they have so carefully placed in front of the food plot they have so carefully planted, to kill us some deer meet.

Let me pause here to explain that the hay meadow at the Circle T ranch is across the river and though the forest from my house...between a huge cliff like hill, and the river. Upon the cliff is a subdivision called Hidden Valley...the Circle T's few hundred acres of hay meadows being that valley. Sean's Aunt and Cousins live right on the edge of the cliff and their back porch view is right over the hay meadow (it's quite beautiful.)

Anyway let me just give you a run down of what happened Sunday Morning. Sean was sitting on one end of the field, Jaret on the other. A doe jumped out of the field in front of Jaret's stand and walked about halfway into the meadow. Because it was late in the morning and they were getting hungry for breakfast at the Waffle House, Jaret called Sean on his phone and started harassing him about not being able to hit the doe with his muzzle loader, which was about 250 yards away.

Let's break from that part of the story and go over to the top of the cliff where Sean's Aunt and Cousins are getting ready for Church. Emily was sitting on the back porch enjoying her breakfast when she spotted far away a sweet little doe leap into the field and start to graze along. Now Emily is not part of the family, she's married into it like I am, but unlike me, she wasn't Raised around deer hunters and has not one inkling about deer hunting. I see a deer and I think, "shoot. Kill. eat." She sees deer she thinks " Aw, Bambi." So Emily sees this doe and cries "Oh Come here everyone!! Look at the Deer! How sweet! The sweet Little Deer!"

OK lets take the story back to Sean and Jaret below in the meadow (figured out what happens yet??) Jaret keeps on with Sean, "Dude you suck, there is NO way you can hit that deer from where you are!" Sean says "Oh yes I can watch this!" BAAANNGG

*deer falls, blood exits wound profusely*

Emily screams..
Sean's Aunt called me tonight to tell me all about Emily's experience. I've never laughed so hard in my life... I found if funny...sorry... Bless Emily's Heart...I would hate for a non-hunter to have to witness that early in the morning before Church...she's probably scarred for life now... But at least we have some Deer meet for the next Few months!!!

Happy Hunting!
sorry PETA

Oink

Well Flu Season is in Full Swing at My house. I started symptoms on Thursday and by Friday at My sisters Homecoming I felt pretty awful. I've been asleep on and off ever since then. I went to the doctor today and he confirmed it was the flu and he gave me some cough medicine but said that was pretty much all he could do.

I really think I'm dying...that's how horrible I feel. I regret not getting a flu shot this year. I really was going to...I just never got around to it. You see, I'm scared of needles. Deathly Scared. I pass out every time one enters my skin. Oh I'm about to pass out thinking about it. Is it sad that I would risk getting the flu rather than getting a shot? It's been 5 years since I last had the flu. 5 long years of no flu..5 long years of no flu shot...that would make me immune right?? I thought I was immune!! ...Please no lectures..I've already heard it from Mom.

Thank goodness I was at my parents house when I started feeling bad, now Mom can take care of me and I won't have to depend on Sean who isn't at our house during the day. I accidentally passed the flu on to my Dad, who is feeling about as bad as I am.

The doctor informed me I'd have about one more week give or take a few days to endure this horrible pain So if you don't mind sending Up prayers for me and Dad to have a Speedy recovery it would be much appreciated!

Here are some helpful hints on how to prevent yourself from getting the flu from CDC.gov. Please, use these!! I don't want anyone to have to feel as I do right now!!
*Get a flu shot!
* Wash your hands often with soap and water often! If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
* Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
* Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other measures to keep our distance from each other to lessen the spread of flu.

If I were you I'd carry around a tub of the water free hand rub, and use it every minute!!

Stay well!

Fashion Friday

Today's post is all about Fashion...

Ok so not really but here's a fashion tip for you. Do NOT go four months without getting your hair trimmed. Birds will try to make nests out of your split ends they will be so dead and dry. I promise.

So after four long months of putting it off, I got my hair done. My roots look one million times better! My stylist Holly informed me that I needed to get my hair trimmed once every 5-6 weeks in order to keep it healthy.



Below is my Before "hairdo" photo...yucky faded color. straw like split ends. I can't believe I was let out in public with ends that looked that bad!! Look closely you can see a bird nesting in there!
After! Ahhh. Much Better! More Natural in my opinion. She added lowlights and highlights. She did my hair in her kitchen so I wouldn't have to pay her salon price :) I felt kind of funny walking around with my hair foiled in front of her husband and the friends he had over... Oh well.

Friday's photos of the day...

My Chocolate Children.
Oh this just melts my heart! I can't imagine what I'll be like with my real kids one day!
Have a great weekend! I'm off to Homecoming in my Hometown to Watch my baby sister be crowned Queen!

Top Ten Thursday

I'm super excited about Today's Top 10 Thursday because....

It's top 10 Reasons why I LOVE my Blackberry!!!

And boy do I ever love my blackberry!!

Why you ask??

10. Because It's red and pretty

9. Because it's lasted so long! Birdie even chewed on it and it's lasted...teeth marks and all.

8. Because I can play BrickBraker for free as much as I want and Sean cannot beat my high score and it makes him mad!

7. Because I can Never get Lost with my Navigation a la Blackberry

6. Because I can check my e-mail whenever I want

5. Because T9 Sucks

4. Because I can blue tooth to my Mac for Internet... No wires!!!

3. Because I get to check the weather at any moment which helps feed my paranoia during thunderstorms

2. Because it's musical ring tones wake me up ever so softly verses my alarm clock that beeps at me and jerks me out of sleep.

1. Because at all times I'm connected to everything I'd ever need to function...is it sad I depend on my phone and feel naked without it??


I just realized I started ever point with the word "Because" I don't really feel like finding another word to insert there so just pretend I didn't start every point with that word :) Thanks

Jump on over to Jennifer's at It's a Beauty Filled Life to see more top 10's!

I'm Alive

Well I survived the night!!! The police hound dogs tracked the guy down river a few miles so I slept a little easier. The dogs never caught up with him though, he's long gone by now I assume. I wonder if he'll come back for his girlfriend? What I really want to know is what he did that was so bad!? They had the US Marshals out there looking! Apparently he was armed..I'm glad I didn't know that yesterday when Sean was out running around looking for him.
You can read all about it here if your interested.


***Edited to add for Laura and Josh*** I didn't take pictures because 1. I only went home to make sure all was ok with Sean because he wasn't answering my calls and 2. I'm scared of policemen..I thought they might ask me not to take pictures of their suspect :) 3. I totally FORGOT my camera!!! I will put photos of my new hair do up though, it's just raining today and it looks all frizzy and puffy and you don't want to see that I promise!

Man Hunt!

Hey Everyone...Say a little prayer for me!


They are having a man hunt AS WE SPEAK for a fugitive in my pasture! I repeat..POLICE ARE SEARCHING FOR A FUGITIVE BEHIND MY HOUSE..DIRECTLY BEHIND MY HOUSE. 10 FEET BEHIND MY HOUSE. I'M GOING TO DIE.

Ok sorry...

I'm not sure what he did but the US Marshals are out there so it's got to be a federal offense. There are about 10 cop cars in my driveway, and 10 or so more surrounding half of our ranch. They think he's swam up river so they are tracking him with dogs also! There is a helicopter flying around out here too. I hope pass-er by-ers don't think our house is the headquarters of a major drug ring and we are being busted, or think we are having a domestic disturbance that requires a helicopter...or I dunno something else bad.


Apparently these two "fugitives" (innocent until proven guilty) lost control of their vehicle while being chased by police and ran through our fence into the pasture and just kept on trucking until they reached the river. The police have the woman in custody, she had Neon pink hair so it was hard for her to hide :) She was really mouthy, and cried a lot. She was standing outside when I drove up. They man is still MIA.

Sean is having the best time with all of this, which is a little disturbing. He wanted to help them look for the guy but thank goodness they said no. He had a lot of fence to repair though!

So anyway pray that we stay safe tonight, because he could be hiding very near my house and that scares me a little bit. This kind of thing NEVER happens around here so I'm not used to this!!

P.s. On a lighter note I'm getting my hair "did" tonight so at least if I am murdered tonight in my sleep my roots will look great!

Wordless Wednesday

It's Wordless Wednesday! Head on over to 7 Clown Circus to see other Wordless Wednesday Posts!

Check out the cool shots of the Rough Stock riders I shot Saturday Night!



And then I was dragged to Hooters :) Becauses the chicken wings are delicious I was told...Riiiight.

Thankful?

Can we get personal?? Can I complain to you a little? No? Well I'm going to anyway.

I have felt sick/like crap for about the past...well I can't remember last Time I felt 100%. If it's not one thing, it's another. I now have re-caught the cold I had two weeks ago and I can't eat with out getting really sick. So far today I've had half a bagel and a handful of peanuts. Last night I spent the night laying in the bathroom floor, afraid to move because I might throw up. I've never been so nauseated before!

Before you get all "oh you're pregnant" on me..I'm not. I'm not quite sure what's wrong though. I go to see my gastrologist tomorrow so maybe he can help me. If anyone out there reading has Celiac like me..do you have problems even when you are sure you don't consume gluten?? Or is it just me??

Anyway I wanted to hollar at you for prayer requests and also to let you know this...
As I was laying in the bathroom floor last night saying prayers to make the nausea stop I realized that it could be so much worse than just a little bit of nausea. I stopped praying for my dizziness which felt very insignificant at the moment and started praying for others that are going through so much more. Like my friend from work for instance. She has Hodgkin's Disease and is undergoing chemotherapy treatments to try and shrink the malignant tumors on her spine. She is a trooper. She is at work everyday, trashcan close by. Never misses a beat. I really wish I had her courage.

I also prayed for another co-worker whose husband was chemically burned all over his body at work last week. He's been in the hospital undergoing many surgeries and they think he will be OK. They have three young children.

I think of all the people on Kelly's Korner's prayer request list. So many people who are hurting so bad and in so much more need of prayer than me. It eases my pain a little to know that there are things much worse that could be happening in my life and I thank God that he has blessed me with so much.
We don't know why things bad happen to us but maybe your suffering will cause someone to look at their life and thank God for what they have. Maybe your suffering will make someone reevaluate their lives and cause them to put the important things first, like God and family. I'd like to challenge you to stop and think about what you are thankful for and thank God for it.

So...what else are you thankful for? I know you are thankful for your children, husbands, and families...but what else?? Leave me a post and Let me know!!

I'm thankful for fall! Only God could create something as beautiful as the changing of the leaves!...

...So comment already! Let me know what you are thankful for.

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This weekend MckMamma posted about her melting experience in the oven. I had a little "hot" experience myself but it included a spatula and my tongue..

I certainly did not taste the stir fry out of the skillet which was not on high on the burner 5 seconds before. I did not idiotically put it in my mouth after blowing on it twice..thinking that would cool it down. It most certainly did not burn my tongue and roof of my mouth and keep me from tasting the stir fry or anything else for that matter for the rest of the weekend. Sean informed me that the stir fry was the best he had tasted ever..wish I could have tasted my culinary masterpiece....

I did not become obsessed with taking pictures of bull riders this weekend at the rodeo finals and get some cool looking shots!

I did NOT get the crappiest photos of Sean Steer wrestling because ya know.. it's hard to take photos when you are trying to watch the action and make sure Sean makes a good run. It's just really hard to do. I'm sorry Sean, it's just hard. I totally did not forget to buy the photos of Sean bulldogging from the professional photographer while we were there ...I wouldn't forget to do something my husband asked me to do because He Never forgets to do things I ask, like taking out the trash for instance.

I did not have the best weekend ever and Did not Brag to everyone I know about my Husband and his accomplishments...I wouldn't brag..never!!!

Look!! The trees are starting to Change in Centrala Arkansas!! Wish I could figure out how to focus on the correct objects ..oh well! Have a great week!!

Winner winner chicken dinner!

Well Saturday Night Sean's time was a 5.1 which won him second in the Average just a half a second behind the average winner who just so happened to be Little Brother Jason! After it was all over Sean ended the year with a total of just under $9000.00 won, around $1800.00 in front of Chet, to make Sean the 2009 Steer Wrestling Champion!! Jason brought home $2300 which put him the third highest money winner of the year. He received buckle for winning the average! So the Thomas boys showed out this weekend!


I'm so lucky to have such a talented husband!! Next stop....Shreveport LA!

More info about this weekend to come!

Update

Update...

I'm doing this in a hurry because I don't have time, gotta get back to watching the Razorback game!! Go Hogs Go!!
Thank you to everyone who wished us good luck and said prayers and sent positive thoughts our way...It worked!!! Sean placed second in the round last night with another time of 4.1!!!! He is now $880 ahead of Chet and winning the average. Each round pays 800 to win so Chet could still pass Sean up tonight if Sean doesn't do good. Little brother split third and fourth in the round and is only .10th of a point behind Sean in the average so we have a little bit of sibling rivalry going on in our trailer. They are both talking so much smack to each other it's hilarious!! So keep us in your thoughts and prayers!!! I'm so nervous I can't think straight!!

Only in Arkansas

Well I've been quite a bit busy the past week. We've been getting ready for the CRRA (Cowboy Regional Rodeo Association) finals in Ft. Smith. Tonight was the first go round. But before we get into the rodeo...check out how much Birdie has grown!! She's looking more and more like a lab every day and less like a awkward puppy.I've probably explained this before, but for those of you who don't know, Sean has more money won than any other Steer Wrestler (bulldogger) than any other guy in the CRRA. He's ahead of Mr. Chet Woodall out of Oklahoma, by 200 dollars only!!! The year end winner wins a saddle, a buckle, and bragging rights, etc. Sean and Chet have been battling it out for a couple months now. Chet's been in the lead all year and Sean just passed him up a few weeks ago. It all comes down to who wins the most money at the finals.

Tonight was round one of three. They pay four places in the rounds and six places in the average of all three rounds. Sean, being number one, was last to go. This guy, in the picture below, number 15 in the standings, was first to go. He's gonna feel that tomorrow...

Little Brother Jason is sitting in fourth place in the year end standings. He showed out tonight throwing his steer down in 3.9 seconds winning second in the average, a guy in front of him was a 3.7. Chet was second to last, being second place in the standings. He had an awesome run, throwing his steer down in 4.1 seconds, making him third place for the night. Which would win him about 400 dollars and pushing him 200 dollars ahead of Sean, if Sean were to not place.

As Sean backed his horse Frosty into the box my heart started beating so fast I thought I was going to cry. I don't understand how he stays so calm. Maybe it's beer?? Ha! Seriously though, I wouldn't be able to stand the pressure, knowing I could win the year end saddle and buckle and I had to be better than a 4.1 to make sure I didn't loose the lead?...couldn't handle it... I would buckle under the pressure.

Sean nodded and the steer took off with Frosty close behind. Sean slid off the saddle beautifully and the slammed the steer down. It was fast, I knew it was fast. I was standing behind the boxes so I knew the barrier wasn't broken. All we had to do now was wait to hear his time. I couldn't help but pray, "please beat 4.1 please beat 4.1." I knew it was way faster than a 4.1...i just knew it! Except...I was wrong. His time..... 4.1. He had tied Chet.

I was so relieved that he had won the exact same amount of money as Chet had, and was still 200 in the lead for the year end. The only problem is...I have to go through all of this again tomorrow!
After watching the video we got a little sick at our stomachs. Sean had a late flag, which means the judge dropped the flag a split second later than he should have making his time longer than it should have been. The judge told Sean after his run, "Man, I had to flag you late because you're steer had a leg underneath him" (which is a rule in steer wrestling, all four feet must be showing) Sean thought as he left the arena that he had just been unlucky and hung a leg.
After watching the video...there was no hung leg. The judge had just miss-judged.
I've told you before, everything during a Steer Wrestling run must be perfect, the horse, the steer, the hazer, the bulldogger, the judge, the timer, everything!
We are a little disappointed that Sean didn't place ahead of Chet but We are just excited that he won his entry fees back so far and there are two more nights to go which means two more chances to Win the Saddle. Be thinking of us tomorrow night around 8:00, hopefully Sean's time is faster than anyone elses!!

PS.
After the Rodeo we went to Sonic and saw this at the drive through...


Only in Arkansas Right??We talked to the interesting Character while eating our dinner on the picnic tables. He's been riding across country on horseback since 2006!!! He's started in Nevada, went down to Tombstone, Down into Old Mexico, back to Oklahoma and onto Arkansas. They are doing a documentary on him, calling him on his cell phone every two weeks and meeting him to film. He was so cool, had all his belongings on the back of the horse, tent, fishing pole, etc. He's actually staying at the Arena next to us tonight in his tent, we are in the live-in quarters horse trailer.

Sean said he would love to do that, I'd love it too but said I'd have to be able to take along more stuff than he did. Sean laughed and said it would take 4 or 5 pack mules to carry my crap across country Which is SOOO not true...

It would take two or three.

Goodnight!! have a great Friday and I'll be posting updates on the CRRA Finals tomorrow night!!


Only in Arkansas Right (from my window on the interstate)

Wordful Wednesday

Random Questions

Just some random questions I'd like to know about the two or three people that read my blog...

I've had the busiest past few days!! I had a really busy work day yesterday which kept me from blogging....yes I actually do work sometimes instead of blogging. Do you blog from work?

It was a miserable day weather-wise. It rained all day long and all night long. It was cold and dark and I'm so sick of rain. I just want to see the sun...just for a minute. I haven't seen him in about four days and Channel 4's weather man, Mike Francis, said it was going to rain until Saturday. He was at my garage sale, true story... he bought a shelf of mine and It was very exciting for me because we don't get many real celebrity sightings in Arkansas so We have to live with getting excited over the weather man. Have you seen any real celebrities lately, and have you seen the sun?

After work yesterday I went to a Mary Kay party and got a facial. I'm going green... with my eyeshadow that is!! I also tried some lip color and I don't normally wear anything but occasionally gloss, so it was weird when I took a drink out of a cup and left a lipstick print! I'll have to take a picture and let you see how it looks! What do you wear on your lips/eyes?

We had a GREAT weekend. Me and my friends celebrated Holly's last weekend of being single by going to the Piano Bar and we had a great time. I also went to a High School Football game and watched my little sister cheer. It was a lot of fun and I got to take some fun pictures. I'll share a few later.

One last random question..
Which Side do you peel your Banana from?? the Stem end or the non-stem end? I was made fun of for peeling it from the non-stem end and I didn't know that it was wrong to peel it that way. Just wondering...
