It’s been OVER a month!

I’m such a bad blogger.  I just realized that I haven’t posted ANYTHING in over a month.  It’s definitely not that I have nothing to say or that we haven’t had anything going on because that’s not the case. 

We have been busy with fall baseball, play practice (Bailey’s big acting debut was last weekend), church activities, WORK, watching football, and of course, stuff around the house. 

It’s so exciting that our Titans have started off 7-0.  I thought that we’d have a good year, but 7-0 is definitely above my expectations.  We were blessed to be able to go to the game last night.  We went to the stadium a couple of hours early to scope out some tickets (we’d already decided that we wouldn’t pay any astronomical price.)  And this is what happened: Our tickets were amazing – first row, right behind the Colts bench on the 48 yard line!!  It was such a God thing.  We happened to be behind a guy in the port-a-potty line (no, that’s not the God part) and I overheard his cell phone conversation about some tickets that he was about to go pick up at Will-Call.  He mentioned a guy’s name that I knew from when I was the Titans sales rep with Sprint.  I quickly whispered to Barry that I had to ask this guy if it was the same ticket office manager that I used to know.  It was!  AND the guy said that there was another available pair of tickets ON THE 48 YARD LINE (we had no idea that they were on the first row until we got there!)  We paid FACE VALUE for these amazing seats.  So, a big shout out to Norm, the guy we met in line for the port-a-potty.  THANK YOU!!!  We had a great time!!

On another note, just wanted to update everyone that has been praying for Teresa, my hometown friend who was in a bad car accident back in July.  GREAT NEWS!!!!  She is now back home in Selmer!!  She will continue her rehab with one of our local doctors.  When she got home on Saturday, around 100 of their closest friends lined their street holding yellow ribbons and cheering for her.  Mom said it was a really moving moment and one that they will never forget. 

I’m a Slacker…….

Ok, if my hubby reads this he would laugh at me calling myself a slacker.  He says I’m always busy and I have a really hard time doing nothing.   He’s pretty correct………..

Anyhow, I’ve gotten lazy regarding blogging.  It seems my time is better spent working………working at work, working at home, working at……….everything.  I want to do better at keeping my blog updated.  We have a lot going on so I have tons of material that I want/need to share.  Finding time to express everything adequately is the issue…..

I’m going to do better!!

OK, just watched Charlie on Channel 5 and we are going to have some HOT weather this coming 7 days (temps in the low to mid-90s every day).  For some reason, it popped into my mind that this is “beach weather”.

Thinking about beaches, I am curious to know your top 2-3 beaches anywhere in the world.  Tell me the beach location or name and why you like it so much.  Only choose beaches that you have personally visited.

My top 3:

3. Cancun – awesome snorkeling and rough beauty; 2. Destin (FL panhandle) – sand is SO WHITE and smooth, great for the family, 1. St. Lucia – tropical, gorgeous foliage, FAR AWAY :)

Here goes nothing!!!!!!

After weeks of praying and contemplating, I’m finally taking the plunge and am starting a blog! I have loved reading MANY of my friends’ blogs and have been inspired, rattled, “wow”ed and utterly amazed at the things that they share and the topics that are covered. By blogging, I hope to share some of my life and experiences and hopefully, somehow, create some comic relief for you. I must admit that I’m no technology guru so my lack of pics, videos, etc. will hopefully be resolved quickly as I need a “crash course” in this!

I would like to give a shout out to Whitney, my first and fave cousin and Lindsey, her best friend and roomie, for inspiring me to blog. They took the plunge a couple of months ago and I have LOVED keeping up with their fun, exciting and cool lives by reading their blogs. Lindsey gets a big shout for helping me with a blog name. It took her literally two seconds to blurt out “The Lo Down” as a title. I love the title and for those who don’t know me, my nickname is “Lo” so how fitting is this title? LOVE IT and thanks Linds!

So, my question is………how did you choose your blog name? If you don’t currently have a blog, what is your favorite blog name (out of those you read)?
