Holly arrives…..

Holly arrives tomorrow evening.  We’ll leave when Herman gets home from work to drive to the Savannah-Hilton Head Airport to meet her plane.  Well I say meet her plane, but since 9/11, of course, all we can do is wait on Level 2 in the common area.  It seems like such a long time ago, when [...]

Kitty No-Nos…

My cats have been kicked out of daycare.  Well not all of them, really just one of them – Scamper. But the vet asked that we find another place for them instead of boarding them next time because Scamper decided that it would be “cool or funny ” ( I can’t decide what was in his [...]

Daniel Tosh — My New Favorite Comedian

We saw his Comedy Central special while we were out of town last weekend. My sides hurt the next morning from laughing. We all 3 were LOL most of the hour long show.

 

Poor Poor Peaches

A week ago today,  Peaches Geldof apparently suffered respiratory arrest after a suspected drug overdose.  This is really sad to see because her mother Paula Yates died of a heroin overdose.  I hope she gets the help that she needs because Bob has suffered quite a lot of tragedy in his life.  This article really [...]

More Absolulte Cuteness

Stunned and amazed

Katie called us at 10 PM Wednesday night ( July 23)  to inform us that she placed first at the 4-h State Congress.  This means that she has gone as high as she can in her project area/category.  Her project area was Companion Animals and she did her presentation on Saving Our Animal Shelters.  Every [...]

5 year old skips daycare for hot wings

It was reported on Firday that a young boy in near Dallas left a daycare center in the middle of the day and started on an adventure that ended at Hooters. It’s a bizarre story to say the least.
Here is the report from The Denton Record-Chronicle :
Boy exits child care, goes to Hooters

Life-size Look-a-like Cake for Bride

I know this is an older story, but with the excitment the Waffle House Wedding is still generating I thought I’d share this for those who missed this.
 CNN (Texas) – A Nigerian bride,  Chidi Ogbuta of Allen, Texas has made what seems like  a world record by actually using a wedding cake, that is full size of [...]

Those were the days

I was messing around on youtube while on hold yesterday and I found an interesting excerpt of a 1940’s film.  I did some research and found the entire movie.  It is called Swainsboro Town Film. The film is 23 minutes long and gives you a sense of what life was like then and still is to [...]

Choke — Coming this fall to a theater near you

Choke is coming to the big screen later this fall. 

For those who don’t know, it is based on the book by the same name from Chuck Palahniuk.  He has written many great books over the years.  He also happens to be one of my all time favorite authors.  I know that he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, [...]

Busy with preparations

We have spent all Saturday cleaning off bookcases, moving furniture, cleaning underneath beds and rearranging kitchen cabinets.  We said we were doing this getting ready for Holy, but then we noticed our next door neighbors doing a bit of “spring cleaning” out under their patio as well.  I guess this is a good time of [...]

High School Football

 Our high school ( Swainsboro High School – GO TIGERS !!! ) has posted this season’s football schedule.  There have been some realignments and this year we’ll have to play the Dublin High School Fighting Irish in the Shamrock Bowl.  If you’ve ever heard the high school football coverage, you know that the Dublin fans seem [...]

Countdown

We now have two weeks until Holly arrives.  I still haven’t gotten a specific time/day of arrival,  but I will go this morning to register and enroll her at the high school.  I told my area rep. last night that I wasn’t sure how to do that because I registered Katie back in 1997 and [...]

This is the drama that makes people want to watch The View

Poor Poor Nemo

I had to take Nemo to the vet this morning.  Nemo is our four year old female cat.  She has allergies and it really sucks that all three of the cats are outside cats, because if they were inside cats we wouldn’t have to deal with one cat with allergies (Nemo ), one that has [...]

Cleaning up the clutter

I have come to the conclusion that organizing your whole house is quite overwhelming.  I am going to go back to the FlyLady’s system.  I thought I would share the idea with everyone, because I can’t be the only one who feels like they are drowning in the sea of their to do list.  I hope [...]

Katie left this morning to go with her friends Kelly and Noelle to spend the week at Honey Creek , which is a camp and conference center for the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia.  Kelly has been dying for Katie to go all summer.  This week’s camp is focusing on nature which is right up Katie’s alley.  [...]

The Preparations Continue…..

We are still in the process of getting ready for Holly’s arrival from Germany.  I think she’ll be here in about 3 weeks. Yesterday we went to Savannah to do some shopping in preparation.  I picked out a nice rose colored down alternative comforter for the bed and found some soft jersey knit sheets at [...]

Waffle House Wedding

This is one of those things that sounds made-up or a joke, but I think these people are actually serious.  I am not sure there are words to describe this accurately. I could talk about how absurd this is, but I’ll just give you the article from The Gwinnett Daily Post :
Scattered, smothered, covered and [...]

Dewey Cox

I will quote Herman on this, “When you rent a rated R movie you don’t know what you’re gonna get and sometimes it’s the penis.”  When I rented Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story I figured there would be some language maybe a boob or two and we got that.  I was not expecting full frontal nudity [...]

Best movie we’ve seen in a while

 
 
We all 3 saw this movie last week and really enjoyed it.  It would perfect for every member of the family.

Been a few days…

It’s been a few days since I’ve posted anything new.  I’ve been busy the past few days tending to sick people (Herman), picking up children from camp ( had to go out to Tybee Island Friday to pick up Katie from 4-H camp ) and getting things ready for Holly’s arrival.  Tomorrow I plan to [...]

Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson of Ghost Hunters fame are scheduled to be on The View on ABC tomorrow at 11 AM .  Everyone needs to tune in or Tivo this.  I can’t wait. I’ll be watching as well as Tivoing it.  They are just two down to earth guys,  I hope this comes across [...]

Cow Appreciation Day

It’s times like this that I wish I lived closer to a Chick-fil-a.  We used to live within walking distance of one.  Now for us it’s a half hour drive or so, we’d have to go to Dublin or Statesboro.  I found out that July 11th is Cow Appreciation Day.  All you have to do is [...]
