weddings, airplanes,chickens, steerwrestling, and cheerleading

Well after the normal Airport frustration I have made it to Ohio.  Cincinnati Ohio to be exact...well actually i'm outside of Cincinnati.  It's different here than what I expected.  Not many trees, which is totally different from my Arkansas Oak Haven.  I expected it to be flat here for some reason too...huh, guess not.  So the airport was totally a headache, in fact I still have one.   After a two hour flight delay after a mechanical issue I reluctanly boarded the plane and I swear I saw them duct taping the wing back on.  I made it safely to ATL with two crying babies and one precious autistic boy who hummed like an airplane very loudly the entire flight only to miss my connecting flight due to the two hour delay on my first flight.  I got put on stand by for another flight to Dayton and luckly caught it..but apparently my luggage didn't get the memo.  Only a very exciting book kept my mind from having a nervous breakdown and going completely postal..

Do you know how horrible it is to travel on an airplane all day and then get to the hotel and not be able to brush your teeth or change clothes....it sucks.

I hope to return home to 4 and 1/2 healthy chickens.  I think it rained in AR today and according to an old wives tale, baby chicks will look up to the sky when it rains and the raindrops will fall into their open mouths and drown them...  they were left outside in Banjo's dog pen and let me just say that he isn't happy about givin up his house for a few days.  Sean said he would build them a chicken coop when hell freezes over and if I have anything to do with it Hell will freeze over between thursday and sunday and Banjo can have his man cage back. 
Oh and a special Congrats to Melissa my sister who made Alternate on the Arkansas razorback Cheer squad!  Hopefully they will bump her up to the squad!!  Alternate is a huge accomplishment for someone from a ltitle town like ours that doesn't have access to all the gymnastic gyms and stunting classes the big city girls have!!

And another congrats to Sean who finished 8th at the Steerwrestling Jackpot this weekend out of about 70 ppl.  even though 8th in the average was two holes away from winning money he still earns bragging rights and cool points in my eyes!!

And one more congrats to my cousin Sarah who Got married to the wonderful Trevor this weekend.  I got to film the wedding and it was a BLAST..  I highly recommend watching the untraditional entrance the bridal party made!!!

Haha! how fun was that??? 
Ps.  did you notice the shoes the groom and groomsmen were wearing?? super sweet converse tennies ha!

Have a great Day!!

hating this ,

Woo Pig! Go Melis

This is a really long post.  It contains a Friday Funny hosted by Kelly at the end.  I should've split this into two seperate posts but I just didn't feel like it. 

Well It's finally Friday, I thought yesterday was Wednesday and missed a huge meeting I was supposed to go to on Thursday, which was yeterday.  Oh well, At least it's Friday. 

I have a busy weekend ahead..  My sister is trying out for the Arkansas Razorback Cheer Squad! at the University of Arkansas.  I know she'll do wonderful, I just hope the judges like what they see! 

Good Luck Melissa!!!  Call those Hogs!



My Cousin is also getting married this weekend and I'm taking Photos during rehersal and filming for her.. I can't wait to see her dress!   Oh Yeah and I got a new cell phone!!  The Blackberry Storm 2.  It's pretty cool..but I don't really like it yet. I think it's because I haven't gotten used to it.  I didn't like my other phone when I first got it either and now I love it.  FOr some reason it's not wanting to send any e-mails so I've got to get that figured out.  I'm going to have to take it by the store and let them fix some settings on it.  Sean got a Droid phone.. I haven't gotten to play with it yet but it looks really cool!

I also got my first air brush tan yesterday...it was probably the last time too...  The lady went way overboard on the color so I am very bronze today and I was really white yesterday so it's kind of weird and unnatural.  I've never had an airbrush tan done before and I didn't realize that your body absorbs the color then when you take a shower it rinses off all that your body couldn't absorb.  So I walked out of that tanning salon darker than an my chocolate labs.  I was horrified.  All night I was freaking out that I was going to go to this wedding looking like an alien.  Thankfully when I took a shower all the extra came off :)  I looked much better after the shower but still unnatural.  So now I can go to the wedding in a cocktail dress and not in a nun outfit.

Oh and A miracle happened yesterday.  I walked outside to feed the chickens and low and behold the missing chicken I thought Birdie swallowed whole was walking around like nothing had happened.  I looked for that stuipd thing for a FULL HOUR and then came to the conclusion she ate it.  I have no idea where it hid for 24 hours and no idea how it survived over night in the cold but it did and I now am back to 4 full chickens and 1 half chicken, which, I will have to say is adapting quite well to living with one leg.  It gets extra attention from me and I think it likes it!  It just hops right along with the others like nothings wrong.  It's a trooper. :)  I can't wait until they grow big enough to tell whether they are male or female. 

Ok now the friday funny.  I have to thank my co-workers for fowarding hilarious e-mails to me through out the week to keep me laughing!

I have to say I would give all of these guys money just for being creative!  Some of them are just being honest, and the others may think they are being honest...like the time traveler..i think he really thinks he's a time traveler...from the early 90's apparently.  This reminds me of a Guy that stood on the same corner near my work that was there rain or shine and he would dance and do tricks with his sign.  It always said "this side up" and he'd hold it upside down.  He was a lot of fun to watch...

Oh and I'll be in Ohio all next week, so I'll be blogging from there!!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Chickens and Swamps

I'm pretty sure I will make a horrible parent.  I lost another chicken yesterday.  I think Birdie swallowed it whole.  I've been told once dogs get a taste of chicken they won't stop.  I thought her pen was closed and let the Chicks in the front yard and went inside to change.  I was inside for five minutes and Birdie had injured one's leg and then another was MIA.  I searched for it for about 45 minutes and then just gave up.  When I realized one of the chickens was injured I tried to doctor it as much as possible..but I think it will loose the use of that leg.  So I have 3 and 1/2 chickens left out of six.... I'm starting to think I'm not very good at raising chickens...

Now on to better things...
Did you guys watch the news story about the Autistic girl that was lost in the swamp in Flordia?  I saw this a few days ago and just felt so sorry for her family because I assumed it was another murder.  But this morning, 4 days later, they found her!!  I watched the interview with her rescuer on Today on NBC and it was a beautiful interview!  He praised God and gave all the glory to God throughout the inteveriew.  Read the story here  it is definately a miracle!!

And in American Idol News....

Again this week, Casey, Lee, and Crystal were amazing.
I think that Micheal did good this week and I really was impressed with Aarons voice, though the performance was a little odd.  Tim improved a huge amount from the last couple of weeks and his performance was great..but he is just not up to the voices of the others. 
Chavon needs to go...her voice is getting weirder and weirder.  Katie had a good performance I just can't stand her nasaly voice and Andrew didn't impress anyone.

So I think Andrew and Tim should go...But after the Suprise of Micheal being voted off last week I have no idea who it will be!!
