Fill in the Blank Friday

I'm linking up with Lauren @ The Little Things We Do...why don't you do the same??

1.   My favorite color is       green...any shade, any hue, any tone, but especially green that's the color of rye grass in the winter!!

2.  My travel destination of choice is    the mountains.  We've not been for a while but I long to go back some day soon..

3.  My favorite  food is     something I'll never, ever have again....my mama's turkey dressing.  I try to make it every Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it's never "just right."

4.  My happy place is   in my navy blue folding chair, sitting at a softball field, watching my girls (and their team) play softball... .

5.  My favorite saying is      "Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen to me today that You and I together can't handle."  This morning prayer is on a small plaque that my mama had beside her bathroom mirror, and it hangs in my bathroom now...

6.  My dirty little secret is      that I always have a rash somewhere on my body.  My skin is very sensitive and dry, so if I'm not broken out somewhere, something is wrong! .

7.  Something friends might say about me is that I       hmmmmm...I'm very patient....and I usually am....

Miscellany Monday/Weekend Recap

[one]

My girls and I (well, everyone in Raleigh, for that matter) experienced the hottest weather that I can remember this past weekend.  The Carolina Cyclones played in a showcase tournament and the heat was UNBEARABLE.  At one point, my car thermometer registered 107 degrees!  The team finished 2-2-1 for the weekend, but considering the temps, they did remarkably well.  We fans were drenched and we were just sitting under a tent watching!  Way to go Cyclones!  We are proud of you all!

[two]

While in Raleigh I ran over a key and had a flat tire.  The guys at Pep Boys could not patch the tire so I ended up having to buy a new tire.  Thank goodness for the coaches and the other Cyclone guys who helped me out. 

[three]

I took Lawren and Mary Jo to visit Aunt Mary while in the Raleigh area.  She is a resident at Wellington Place in Knightdale, NC.  Aunt Mary is my daddy's only remaining sibling, and my only aunt.  She has always been one of my favorite family members.  I'm so glad that L and MJ had a chance to see her and get to visit with her since they are now older and will have memory of her.

Go over to Carissa's page and link up....I did....

Saturday 9: White Wedding

1. Tell us about the most recent wedding you attended.
The last weeding I attended was my beautiful niece's wedding at a Southern plantation.  It was fabulous in every way!



2. Do you enjoy attending weddings, or do they bore you to tears?   I actually enjoy them....I'm not crazy about receptions though...

3. Does marriage in general make you feel confident and good inside, or skeptical?  I guess it makes me feel confident and good inside....never really thought about it until now....

4. Do you have a photo blog? (If so, feel free to share the link with us.)   I don't have a photo blog, but i often include photos in my blogs.

5. Do you find yourself driving less due to the high gas prices?  No, not really.  There is no public transportation in our small rural area, so we have to drive everywhere we need to go.

6. What's the high temperature today where you are? The temp on my car thermometer went up to 106.

7. "It's not the heat, it's the humidity." Agree, or no?  Agree....I live in the deep South and the humidity is a killer!

8. What's the hottest you've ever been in your life?  Probably today sitting at the softball field in Raleigh.....

9. Non-temperature related last question: In your opinion... who's hot?  Billy Bob Thornton!
