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!

Fill in the Blank Friday

1. My go to outfit for a dress-up occasion like a wedding is a tea length dress in black. It is about the only dressy outfit that I have....add pearls and strappy sandals and I'm ready to go....

2. This week has been    laid back and easy-going....sleeping late and pool-time in the afternoons.....

3. When it's dinnertime and I'm feeling lazy I'll usually eat a bowl Ramen noodles....if Chuck's home, I have to prepare something...or either he gets take-out....

4. My favorite pair of shoes is   my Crocs and my Birks....any old pair is a favorite!!

5. A random item that I own that is completely unnecessary, but that I could never part with is   a magnet from my mama's refrigerator that says, "Look What My Grandchild Did!"  Hopefully one day I'll be able to post something on my refrig that my grandchild made...   .

6. My favorite person is       actually four people...my three children and my husband!

7. If I were going to write my own blank it would say          "If I were a character in my all-time favorite movie, I would be_____."

I linked up with Lauren at The Little Things We Do...go do the same!

1. How can I  make some extra money?

2.  Don't ever smoke weed ....ever!

3. My hair has a mind of its own.

4. My 30th high school reunion was held last summer....and I didn't go.

5. My favorite summer fruits are blueberries, strawberries, and peaches.

6. OMG...what was that?

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to supper cooked by Lawren, tomorrow my plans include hanging out here at home and laundry and Sunday, I want to go to Sunday school and church, and have a nice afternoon with my family....oh, and L and MJ have SB practice!

OMG Mama...you're not going to demonstrate, are you?

I saw this video on another blogger's page.  When I watched it, I knew I had to share also. 

The video so reminded me of the evening I discussed using tampons with my twin daughters.  I thinkk I'll always remember MJ saying in a horrified squeal, "Oh my God Mama....you're not going to demonstrate, are you?"

WARNING:  Period talk...but it's very, very funny!!

While in Cheraw last week, I went to visit "Bill," the lady who kept me and kept house for our family when I was little.  Sadly, she is suffering from dementia and did not even know who I was.....more about her at another time....

Happy Wednesday, er...Thursday everyone!!
