Life in General
Well, the wedding went off really well. We had a blast! The rehersal was fun. LittleMan got attacked by the flower girl. She literally laid on top of him! She's a cutie, but a little overzealous.
LittleMan walked down the aisle really well, but when he got to the end, he turned around, saw his papaw and yelled "Hey Papaw!!". Other than that, he did well. I'm going to add pics to the photoblog later today.
Our family is full of nuts though and all it takes is a special occasion to get them all in full form. From the boozed up uncle to the cousins trying to one-up each other in any category that comes up in conversation, they honestly make quite a showing!
We are taking a little family trip this weekend and I'm so excited. I think I'm one of the rare people who actually enjoys being around my family. I actually prefer being around them as opposed to other groups of people. I think it's because you can be yourself and no one cares. Anyway, we are going to a lodge at one of the Louisiana State Parks and we're just going to hang out. There should be 13 or 14 of us going at last count. (The cousins who try to one-up each other aren't invited!) It should be fun.
TV
Okay, I must admit, I became hooked on Dancing with the Stars. I was kinda late in the game. I started watching the week Tia whats-her-name was kicked off, but I've really enjoyed this show! My jaw hit the floor last night when Stacy Keibler (I'm sure I misspelled her name) was kicked off. I mean, come on!! Not only was she a kick-ass dancer, but have you looked at her??? She's hot!! If I could have a body transplant, I would want hers! Her legs must be 6 feet long by themselves! And honestly, can anyone really say that they think Jerry Rice is better than her? I mean, sure, it was admirable how much he wanted to win, and he really improved, but she was still better!
Also, Grey's Anatomy keeps getting better and better. When Desperate Housewives started really getting stupid, I think they totally picked up the slack! I love this show. I sooo want Meredith and Dr. McDreamy to get together, but I must admit that I'm starting to like Addison also. And where did Mark go? I wanted him to stay at least so we could look at him for a while. And George has to be the most adorable person ever. He's too precious. I hope the doctor last night can be a new love interest for him. He needs a good woman.
Well, I've bored you enough for now. Have a good week!

Sorry so long since an update. I really don't have alot to report. I've been pretty boring lately.
Right now I'm working at home because I came close to having pneumonia when I finally went to the doctor Monday. I hadn't been sick but for a couple of days, but apparently that stuff gets bad quickly. Anyway, so that I don't catch anything else and end up in the hospital, I get to work here in my cozy home for a few days. Yippee!
It has advantages and disadvantages I guess. Working in pajamas...advantage. Having LittleMan underneath me all day....advantage and disadvantage depending on how you look at it. I've enjoyed being around him more this week, but he is rather distracting and LuckyHusband seems to forget that he's in charge of the kid and I'm working.
The only other thing I've been doing is knitting. I swear I'm soooo addicted to this! You should all try it, it's super easy and super addictive. I finished my first sock and I've started on the mate. I've tried to keep my knitting to a minimum on this blog, so I started a knitting blog for that stuff. I don't have pics of the finished sock yet since I haven't been to work lately, but maybe tomorrow I can fix that.
LittleMan is in a wedding this Saturday, so I should have some good pics from there after Saturday. :)
Hope you are all having a better week than I am!

Do you ever sit down to write a blog entry knowing that you had ideas the day before or a few hours ago, only to have them disappear as soon as you sit down to type?

Hmmm....so what have I done lately???? Well, I went Saturday morning to get my hair cut. That's always a relaxing experience. LittleMan stayed at home with LuckyHusband so I got to go to town all by myself!

Then I went to a little local shop that has such cute kid's stuff! They have cute wooden painted toyboxes, tables and chairs, stools, and other cute little stuff. I got LittleMan the cutest little stool so that he can pull it up to the counter and be able to see Simon better. I also got Hooker a really cute Valentine from LittleMan.

Then, Saturday afternoon, the owner of the shop contacted me about getting some pictures of her kids done. So, since I picked out some really cute birthday party stuff I'm hoping we can trade goods. :)

Anyway, Saturday night consisted of fun with the in-laws who I swear can offend LuckyHusband quicker than any people I know and they are his family! They never include him(us) in any family gatherings, but complain about how we never come and see them. DING, DING, DING!!!! Invite us! I swear that even when we don't feel like leaving the house, we will go to one of their gatherings that we get a last-minute invite too (and yet everyone else knew for a week) just because we never get invited and don't want to be rude and turn down the one invite that we actually get. I swear that I don't understand these people!

Sunday (yesterday) we started revival at our church and had an excellent morning service, but it lasted 2 1/2 hours which makes me reluctant to go back. If it was just me, I would, but with LittleMan, 7-9 pm is kind of a bad time for him to be sitting still. So, I don't know. I want to go, but I'm not sure if I can.

I am putting some pics of Hooker's brother and fiancee that I took on the photo blog. Enjoy!

Well, faithful readers, for those of you who didn't know....I'm going under the knife. Well, not really the knife so to speak (well maybe a little I guess). What I'm trying to say is that I'm having my troublesome, stone-filled gallbladder removed. March 6 is the big day and I can't wait!
Why am I waiting so long you ask? Well, I have Hooker's brothers wedding coming up in which LittleMan will be ~~starring~~ the ring bearer and we are getting a new puppy (see picture on the photoblog. Also, LuckyHusband had a vacation scheduled for that week which means that he can ~~maybe~~ relieve me of LittleMan duties and allow me to ~~knit~~ relax.
I'm kinda nervous, but I figure if I had a whole baby removed from my belly, how could a gallbladder possibly bother me.
The first thing I'm doing after I'm free to resume a "normal diet" (Have these people ever watched me eat? I'm the A-1 and crackers queen) is eating a big huge greasy order of McDonald's french fries which I lust over every time I drive by. I think they infuse cocaine in those things.....and my thighs are seriously having withdrawals.
Well, I must go and resume ~~screwing off~~ working.
Have a great day!
