Friday 5

Well I'm fresh out of things to blog about and Normally I do a Friday Funny but I just can't find anything funny right now...I'm still half asleep so nothing is Humorous to me right now.  So I'll just do a five question friday. Here are the questions.



1. What was the first car you owned?
When I was 16 My Dad bought me a new Green 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee.  By the time we traded it in in 2006 it was in horrible shape.  That little jeep went through a whole lot!  From being stuck in the mud to getting hit 100 times by misc. things like room mates and shopping carts to spilled cokes & gum.  It saw over 100,000 miles in those six years!!  It was very "used."  I loved it though! 

The first car I've actually "owned" was the truck Sean and I bought a few months back.  Technically the bank owns it but it's the first truck I've ever bought.

2. What song are you embarrassed to know the lyrics to?
There are a few 
Little Romeo-My Baby "Oh romeo the cutest boy I know-Iknow I know-so let me be your girlfriend?"
Lots of late 90's early 00' rap songs...I'm embarassed I know lyrics to songs that vulgar :)  Some of them are hard to sing when you don't say the cuss words.
Various Barney Songs from my little sisters (barney wasn't around when I was little)
I'm sure there are more but I can't think right now

3. Have you ever had stitches?
Yep when I got my gall bladder removed in December..

4. What was your first job?
I was the life guard for a summer at the Country Club when I was 17..I've never been that tan since. 

5. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character?
Probably the Cookie Monster because I can relate to his obsession.

Have a great friday!

Earth Day

Happy Earth Day!!!

Well I'm back in the good ol' state of Arkansas.. It's good to be home.  I'm worn smooth out.  I'm ready to crawl in bed and sleep for days...but there's way too much to do!  I returned home to two happy dogs and 5 chickens that have grown so much in the last four days!!  The chicken with one leg is gaining control of her broken leg just a little bit more every day, I think she may gain use of it again!  ...i'm so surprised that I now have chickens. I totally expected them to not live this long.

I saw a lot of cool things on my trip to Ohio, I've never been to that area and it was beautiful...it was just starting to look like spring there, which was weird because our trees have been fully bloomed for a few weeks now. 

We ate at this little cafe right on the Ohio/Indiana state line and it was the cutest little town!  All the buildings were colorful and in great shape!

These photos were taken with my blackberry, so excuse the quality.  I took my good camera but didn't want to lug it around all afternoon.  The sales class went good, we met a lot of nice people and learned a lot. 

On the way back we flew home through Chicago...  If you look very closely and use your imagaination you can see the chicago skyline and the Sears tower..or whatever it's called now.

This was leaving chicago..  I was amazed at how straight all the lights were :)

But, this little thing was the highlight of my trip.  Automatically protected toilet seats.  You put your hand in front of a sensor and a new strip of plastic covered the toilet seat, so you could sit germ free.  I was amazed.  Now, this may be a regular thing up in the "big city"  but here in Arkansas we still have the little paper sheets that you use, or you just hover, or you are like me and your fear of using public restrooms keeps you holding it in until you want to cry. 

Am I the only one to experience this magnificant inventions?  Or is this the norm in other places??

Have a great Thursday!

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!!
