Miscellany Monday/Weekend Recap

Go  link up with Carissa for..

~one~
The weekend started with Postgame on Main at FUMC.  We had an eclectic crowd this week....mostly older guys who were playing basketball.

~two~
For my birthday celebration, Chuck took the girls and me to Florence to the Mellow Mushroom.  It was soooo delicious, and we had way too much food!





~three~
The girls and I had a nice shopping adventure to Bath & Body Works at the mall.  We bought a lot of the holiday scents in lotions, creams, and body wash.  There is no reason for any of the Black females to smell bad!

~four~
Sunday was All Saints Sunday at our church.  This service is one of my favorites of the year.  We remembered seven church members who have died in the last year.  A candle was lit and a bell chimed for each one.  (I miss my mama so much....) 

~five~
A terrible accident occurred at our house right after church on Sunday.  L and MJ came home and were playing around, and Lawren threw her phone at MJ.  MJ moved, and the phone hit the TV screen!  Yes, the big, new TV that we got for Christmas last year!  We are all devastated....and we won't be able to replace it anytime soon. :(


~six~
Josh and MJ gave Pippi a much-needed bath last night.  She had a lot of fleas, and it took a long time for them to pick them all off of her.  Hopefully Josh will get the flea medicine for her today....

(Be a good daddy, Josh, and go get the flea med. for your baby!)

Fill in the Blank Friday

(fill in the blank friday is hosted by lauren at the little things we do)
1. My favorite thing about this week was/is that it was both my husband's birthday and my birthday too! .

2. Colder weather makes me   sad...I do not like cold weather!  I am a HOT weather girl for sure...      .

3. Three things that make me terribly happy as of late are     the Food Network show Chopped, International Delight pumpkin latte creamer for my morning coffee, and various catalogs that come in the mail... 

4. If I could only wear one kind of shoe for the rest of my life, I'd choose    Birkenstocks....they are comfortable in any season! 

5. My personality type is     patient, tolerant, nurturing, enabling...and those traits are both good and bad.. .

6. I have a serious problem resisting     the internet...I'm not much of a surfer, but I check certain sites several times a day....

7. My favorite color to wear is   green...and denim .

Photobucket
I love linking up with Mamarazzi and tell everyone what I'm happy about...

I'm happy...

Lawren put the candles on Chuck's pineapple upside down cake...
V2 for 52!!  LOL

I'm happy...

I'm happy...
to begin my second "Giving Thanks Challenge" hosted by Leah over at South Breeze Farm.

I'm happy...
because the transmission on the truck was still under warranty and we do not have to park it or pay to have it fixed...

I'm happy...
that one of my students went trick-or-treating last night and brought me a few Tootsie roll minis!  Thanks Jose'!
I'm happy...
because my sweet, sweet niece sent me a Snoopy birthday card, and wrote a touching little note inside.

I'm happy...

Happy Birthday, Sweet 16s!

I know it's late, but I'm just now settling down long enough to blog...
and I want to wish a

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
to my two sweet babies....


 A mere sixteen years ago today, I met two little angels who have
forever changed my life....

Both are such joy to be around....most of the time!
 Sweet, loving, gentle, and kind....when they want to be!
And they are mine....
 I love them more today than I did the day they were born...
Happy birthday Mary Jo and Lawren...
I love you!
