Go Hogs Go!!

This weekend I slept...a lot and did piles and piles of laundry.  And slept..a lot.  I had softball practice and then slept somemore..  I swear that trip to Ohio took the life outta me!  It's insane how much an hour time change makes on your sleeping schedule.

This weekend Melissa got to Cheer at the Razorback's practice game.  For those of you who didn't catch my post she made Alternate on the Squad.  She gets to do everything they do except cheer at some of the games.  She got to cheer Saturday and even though I didn't get to go, Mom got some great photos!  Aren't her and her bf cute?

Doesn't she looks so good in Razorback Red!?  Woo Pig Sooie! 

For those of you who aren't familiar with the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Hog Call that we do I found this article on the Razorback's website and found it funny.  I like how they made the Hog Call so Formal..haha.

"A chant of “Woo Pig Sooie” is known worldwide as a Hog Call. Just like any good tradition, there are lots of versions of the Hog Call (even spellings).

A properly executed Hog Call is composed of three “calls,” slowly raising one’s arms from the knees to above the head during the “Woo.” Traditionalists prescribe an eight second “Woo.” The fingers should be wiggled and the “Woo” should build in volume and pitch as the arms rise.

Upon completion of the “Woo,” both arms are brought straight down with fists clinched as if executing a chin-up while yelling, “Pig”. The right arm is extended up and out with the “Sooie.”

A full Hog Call -- the kind one will always hear victorious Razorback teams execute after contests -- requires two more Hog Calls, followed immediately by a “Razor-Backs” yell, coordinated with a pumping motion of the right arm after the third “Sooie.” So, in order, the full Hog Call is:


Woooooooo. Pig. Sooie!


Woooooooo. Pig. Sooie!


Woooooooo. Pig. Sooie!


Razorbacks!" 

I Couldn't help but laugh out loud after reading that...it's funny to me. "the fingers should be wiggled"  haha



It's funny..all Arkansans know the hog call..We vacationed in Florida and at a restaraunt someone started calling the Hogs and apprarently we weren't the only Razorback Fans, about three other tables joined in!  Can't wait for Football Season! 
I hear that Kinley Calls the hogs really well..can't wait for that Video to  be posted!!! Erin!

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!
