Arent' They Cute!!!

The Cause

My head has been killing me for two weeks straight now! I can not get rid of this headache. I have tried everything. My only guess is that it is related to my neck and this is why my neck always hurts......



I just found that picture from almost three years ago and thought I would share.

I just thought.....

I had been to the end of the Internet.....

And then I found this!

Pretty Interesting huh????

Best part is I came across this after trying to find an Alabama prison that upholsters furniture and other stuff with fabric. I read on this blog:

http://high-heelfootinthedoor.blogspot.com/2010/04/meet-me-at-sing-sing.html

that some states do this. I will keep you posted if Alabama does- or even somewhere close in Georgia or Florida- because we all know I will be in line to have something made- just for the story!

Sums It Up!

Digging through some old photos today I came across these....

This is from 3 Thanksgivings ago

when my mom did her famous, "Let's take a Christmas card"

Which, by the way NEVER works, the pictures always turn out awful!

Anyway, I LOVE these pictures below. They just sum us all up.

Notice my lips are turned in- I must have been concentrating.

Where Have I Been?

Sorry for the long delay in posts!
I have been so busy at work.
Feast or Famine- no in between!

I feel like so much has happened lately!

Laura is engaged!

This is at dinner afterwards....

This is the bench they stopped on when he pulled out the ring....

And here is the ring!
I will keep you posted on all the wedding details as they unfold.


I am now allergic to penicillin and anything with penicillin in it! Long story short- I do not make a pretty umpa lumpa or Violet your turning Violet, Violet!
After a nice stay in the hospital- I am normal again. I really do sort of wish I had some pictures to show you.


I pulled an Angry Consumer on a product and I won!
Below is my Better Business Bureau Information- I thought ya'll would get a kick out it- I have been!
Once you read it don't ask what I was thinking in the first place because I still haven't figured it out..... I must have already read every blog that existed that day with it not being 5 yet.

Complaint Description - Posted 3/24/2010 9:00:22 AM


I paid $2.95 in shipping fees to receive a product in the mail. I was told I had 3 days to review and cancel the product before being charged $139.95. I have been charged the $139.95 and still not have received the product. I called to cancel my service and be refunded and they told me my 3 days started when I received an email, because the service was online. I was not aware of this information. Why would they charge me shipping and handling for information to be mailed to me if it could be done through email to begin with. This is a scam to take advantage of people. I still have not received the information on this product through the mail, which I paid the shipping on, therefore I should be able to be refunded.

Complaint Summary


I was told I had 3 days to review the product before being charged. I have been charged & haven't received the product.
Resolution Sought


I want Internet Cash Machines to refund $139.95 to my account. I will let them charge me the $2.95 for shipping of the product, because I did ask for the product to be shipped to me.

I sadly had to miss Neil's bachlorette weekend in NOLA last weekend due to my hospital stay. I hope ya'll had a blast! I wish I could have been there!

Can you say obsessed?

I think I may have an obsession.

It all started when I moved to Montgomery and started working my current job.

You see, a new job can start off very slow.

Odd that a company is so busy that they need to hire new employees-

yet too busy to actually give them anything to do- but I know a lot

of people who have this happen.

So, I had plenty of time on my hands-

and no access to facebook.

I started looking at blogs.

I have a few friends that have blogs to keep up with their families, which I love.

But, as the days got longer and longer I needed something more-so,

I created my own blog

and started looking at some fun, interesting blogs of people I didn't' know.

So, now every a.m. I check on my blogs.

I feel like I am right there beside all of my friends and their children through out the week

and I have made some new friends.... Best friends.

And when I say best, I mean best- BFF!

They just have no idea who I am.

I sort of feel like a stalker.

And then I discovered that all my friends are stalking people and their blogs too.

Friends who don't even have blogs of their own, yet they get online everyday to stalk -

Just like me.

But, the best part.......

They randomly stalk the same people I do!!

So, now when I catch up with my friends.

We talk about our new best friends and all the exciting stuff going on in their lives.

Wow, That could be kind of sad- but I think it is hilarious!

Easter Weekend!

Well, it started out Saturday night with dinner at Dad's and of course Balderdash.
I really don't have very many pics of Saturday night

and I have none of Sunday morning,

but I will share what I have.

(P.S. I learned how to move my pictures once I upload them. This is huge!)

This is Stephen, Laura's boyfriend.
He is new to the blog, but you will be seeing a lot of him.

Even Mia gets into watching the game!

Matt, we missed you!

Emily is studying for the CPA exam, so she couldn't play.

Sunday Afternoon

Dad, Marcia, Rocky and I went fishing and of course the camera came along.

Do you see the two white birds above?

The ONLY cloud in the sky.

Rocky's first fish....

and Sarah's first fish.

Dad did use it as bait and get a big bass right after though.

These are all the crappie we ended up with. We released all the bass.

So, while Rocky cleaned all the fish

Dad and Marcia rode around in the paddle boat

and I took pictures around the boat house.

Can you say arachnophobia???

Laura, the random rocking chair picture is for you- It goes along with the pine cone.

Monday's

Monday's are actually pretty good days for me (besides the Monday morning meetings) but at least those do take up time. Kea is here, so I can stop by her office and say Hi! several times a day. Everyone updates their blogs so I have entertainment and I have pictures on my camera to upload myself. Except today. My camera is dead and I can't upload anything! I may just have to go home for lunch and grab the charger.

Busted!

I went to pick up Mia's EXPENSIVE prescription dog food from the vet yesterday during lunch. I had a question for the vet, so the receptionist left the front and went in the back to get her.
And when she came back she found me standing on the dog scale!
