My Birthday weekend.

I had a wonderful Bday weekend.  Friday I took off work and cleaned all day inorder to get ready for the crawfish boil on Saturday.  I took a 4 hour nap because it was my birthday and I can do whatever I want on my birthday.  Then Sean and I and one of his buddies went out to eat at a restraunt in town where a live band was playing.  It was fun but I wanted to get to bed early because I needed my rest for Saturday. 

I came home Friday afternoon to find that Sean had suprised me with the most Awesome pair of boots EVER which most of you may find a little wild, but they are right up my alley!!!  I LOVE them!

He had also bought flowers...which is a first. There were my favorites too, lilys and daisies!

The Crawfish Boil was a huge success, we ate all 120 lbs of Crawfish, we had a band come and play, there was a heated washer tournament going on throughout the day, and that night we all sat around a campfire and talked and listened to Sean play the guitar.

    I found that Birdie really really likes Crawfish and she kept sneaking them out of the bucket we had them sitting in and would eat them whole.  Banjo liked them too but they didn't agree with his stomach...ew.   Birdie also kept trying to fetch the horseshoes when we started to play horseshoes.  We had to watch her closely ha! 

For those of you who aren't from the south and have no idea what washers and horseshoes are and have never sat around a campfire or eaten crawfish...You are totally missing out on the good life. 

I did not take photos because I forgot...they would've all been blurry anyway :)

PS if you drink a whole gallon of bloody marys while eating crawfish you will wake up the next morning so swollen from too much sodium that your whole body hurts and you can't wear any of your rings...and your mouth will be ON FIRE... Not that that happened to me or anything.

I'd like to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday and made me feel better about turning 25!  I'm glad that I have blog friends that understand! 

24

My Ballet Career was short-lived.  That outfit is hot though.  The feathers really compliment the sequins.

It's my birthday.  I'm a little depressed.  I'm 25.  I know that isn't very old in the grand scale of life but I just looked up and I was 25, it seems that last year I was 20.  Does that mean when I look up again I'll be 30?  Is this what all the adults in my life talk about all the time??  Where does time go so fast?   Why is it that when I was young time was slower?  Do we get busier?  Do we forget to stop and let our curiosity take us on a new adventure like we did when we were kids?  Is that why time goes by so fast...because we don't have time to stop and play?  Does is just get faster from here?  I don't know.  I just know it's depressing.  And I hate change.  So today I'm 24 again, and every year hearafter I'll be 24.  I don't want to age anymore.

Time is Humans' worst enemy.

Sorry didn't mean to depressyou... Hey It's Friday!!!  Woo HOo!  We're eating crawfish tomorrow and Having a Par-tay!  Happy Weekend!!

American Idol

What was up with the Judges last night?!  I disagreed with the majority of what they said.   Kara is annoying the crap out of me too..she tries to be way too dramatic!

Ok So here are my top picks

I Thought Crystal Looked great last night...She reminded me a lot of Jewel.  Was that just the teeth or does the girl really look like Jewel?  Her song was great, she really didn't have any bad moments!

Katelyn Looked Fabulous last night.  She looked way better than last week and really suprised me.  I didn't realize she was that great of an artist before last night.  I was pissed the judges were so hard on her.  It was a great performance. 

I thought Paige did great too.  The judges, again weren't impressed..WEre they paying attention???  Girl can Sing!

I was almost ready to fight Kara and all of the judges for that matter on their comments to DiDi.  Her voice is so clear and beautiful and the song wasn't that wrong for her.  I am so dissappointed in the judges..I think they are trying to make her go home..Why?  They made her cry too...I hope they go home and relisten to the show and apologize.  She's great!

This girl is so weird I don't know what to make of her.  I really wanted Vera Wang to jump up out of her seat and redress this girl.  She's so weird... and is she a little bit slow?  Because I think she's either mental challanged, an air head, or smoked way to much pot. 

I thought the judges were way to hard on Lacey too.  She sounded great, she looked great, and she had fun.  Her voice is so unique and clear.  I loved it!

I hate this girls voice. Hate hate hate it. I like clear voices and hers is so opposite. She's really annoying too, but she hit the majority of the notes so I have to put her above the people below her.

This performance was Horrible,  I kept waiting for her to get into the song and get loud but it just went all wrong and off key.  THe judges loved it though...I wasn't digging her outfit either..and those half gloves confused me but the judges like it so whatever

Ok Honey it's time for you to go home...  Try again next year. 

In my opinion as far as Voices go, this was the order of Good to bad.  But sadly, the final six is voted on by America, and not by Jenna so I think the voices will have nothing to do with it.

The Great Fire of 2010

Tomorrow is my Birthday.  Except I've decided that I will not get any older than I am right now because 25 just screams "adult"  so tomorrow I will be 24 again.  Thanks.

We are having a crawfish boil in honor of the day of my birth.  And what better way to do that than to eat small crustaceans  that are so hot your mouth is numb by the end of the evening.  My friend Shannon shares the same birthday as me and my BFF from back home, Laci's birthday is today so we are all three celebrating Saturday!

Anyway since we're having a few people over on Saturday, Sean decided he needed to clean up the outside of our house a little, starting with the leaves in the yard.  Our front yard has 9 oak trees in it give or take. We have a yard full of leaves that are waist deep..almost.  Yesterday after my lunch break I was leaving and Sean was in the front yard raking the leaves in to small piles.  When I returned home at 5, Our yard was a smoldering black sea of burnt ashes, plus one tree on fire.  I was very alarmed.  Was Sean alive??   I walked in the back door and Sean's white tennis shoes were on the back porch, they are no longer white, but BLACK.  Apparently when you stamp out a out of control yard fire your shoes get burned..He was unharmed though..by the fire anyways, unharmed by me is a different story.

APPARENTLY, he got tired of raking and decided he would burn the leaves instead and the fire got way out of control.  The small tree on fire was one near the fence line close to the highway.  Our fence line is lined with bushes and trees, it keeps our house a little private from all the passers-by.  So the tree was already dead and was just a 5 foot tall stump. But buddy that thing burned and burned.  When it got dark it was more noticeable and apparently it was more alarming to the people driving by and I had three people stop, pull in my drive way, knock on my door, and ask if I knew we had a tree on fire. 

Ok, now I'm really thankful that there are still people in this world that are good. I'm very thankful that they stopped to warn me, just in case I didn't know.  But Come On People it's dead center in front of my front door, which has a glass door that was wide open.   Thetree is 75 feet from my house and FLAMING.. oh and no chance it's going to fall on the house because it's a 5 foot tall stump... I'm not retarted, I can see the flaming tree.   I don't know, maybe they thought someone was burning a cross in my yard as a warning or something...I'm just glad noone called the fire department but it wouldn't have surprised me to see fire  trucks speeding into my driveway.

So now we will be eating crawfish over a lawn of burnt ashes instead of leaves...not quite so sure it was a good trade off but at least Sean tried...
