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!!

The Big Six O (aka 60)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Dad today!! He’s turning the big 6-0. To look at him, you’d think that he is MAYBE 50. Hopefully, I have inherited this eternal youth gene!!! I know I have inherited his off-beat sense of humor, as well as his intellect ;) , his eyes and his love for peanut butter and ice cream (not necessarily at the same time, however that’s a pretty good mixture!).

I am an only child so when my Dad wasn’t busy, he would often have to entertain me. One of my favorite memories is when we were wrestling and my earring accidentally punctured him in the nose. Without knowing it, we stumbled upon a major new trend! One other fun memory is when he let me “roll” his hair. We had those big pink curlers that you slept in and I somehow would get a little bit of my Dad’s hair to stay in those curlers. He was so cute!

One not so great memory is when, at my birthday parties, my friends wanted to hang out with my Dad instead of me. I threatened to not allow him at my parties if he was going to “steal” my friends. HA!!

My Dad is one of the most intelligent, dependable and trustworthy people I know. He is very ethical and is a solid Christian man. He loves to dabble in computers and technology so when I have a question or issue, he’s the first one I call. He also has developed a real interest in Nascar in the past few years. I have also discovered that I, too, find it very interesting and entertaining. Maybe one day we’ll go to our first race together.

Have a great birthday, Dad and here’s hoping for 60 more!! We love you BIG MUCH!

Lo and fam

TV or no TV?

There has been a great debate brewing at our house.  To have TV or not?  I know, it sounds drastic, and I agree.  I love to watch sports, reality TV, the occasional sit-com and most important – Fox News and The Weather Channel (that is only when I can’t see Charlie on NewsChannel 5!).  Seriously, though, we are thinking of pulling the plug on TV.  I’m ok with it only for the summer since it’s mainly re-runs and basically no sports that I watch regularly.  (I will have Nascar withdrawal issues, but I can watch the races on-line if I really must)  SO much of TV is garbage and totally inappropriate for kids.  SO much of it is liberal and doesn’t support my Christian beliefs and values.  SO much of it is a total waste of time.  Our goal in doing this is two-fold:  to spend more quality time together as a family and to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND ENJOY SUMMER!

So, tell me, what are your thoughts on this?  Has anyone else “pulled the plug”?
