a week already?

It's been a week since my last post already!

I've been fighting a cough, and I think it maybe turning into something worse. *sigh*

Otherwise, I've just been busy working on Christmas cards and gifts. Contemplating whether I put the decorations up thus weekend or next.

I "redecorated" my bathroom today. ok, so it was just simple stuff. I already have the color theme going. Well, I decided to put use to my sea shells I picked up in Florida. I made a little shelf and put the sea shells on it. Then I picked up a "beach" calendar for $1. I framed 4 beach pics. Now I can drift into the sea while in the tub. lol Maybe I should look into putting some sea sounds in there some how. lol

The Wedding Dance off????

Go back almost 2 weeks now! Right after Chris and Abby cut the cake, they were taking pics of Abby's family(from Ohio). Like all of them! (groom side was way out numbers! lol) Then the song Hang on Sloopy comes on.

Did you know this is really an Ohio song??? I never did!

so the part that goes:

hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on

(yeah) (yeah) (yeah) (yeah)

hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on

(yeah) (yeah) (yeah) (yeah)

hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on

Well, replace "yeah" part with O H I O.....and you do "ymca" dancing spelling out Ohio.

So this is after I"ve had atleast 2 margaritas.....that was a good bartender, and I'm a cheap drunk! lol. I look at Jeff and said: "Oh, No....we need a Texas payback. Like ZZ Top. A Haa Haa Haa" Leave it to me to not know the name, But El Jefe to the rescue, "Tell him La Grange."

So here's the "Texas" group getting down

You know Adam Sandlers Wedding singer with the singing dancing Granny?? Abby's put's that lady to shame!!! Actually, I think she put us all to shame! The beuatiful young lady in red danced the night away!

This was the beginning of a long fun night of dacing! *notice margarita #3 in my hand lol*

I think we may have embarassed my nephew. See Nana getting down with him? yeah, poor kid may be scarred. He wasn't too sure of our white folk, dance to a beat of our own drum type dancing! lol

Talk To Me Tuesday: "What homemade Christmas Gifts did you make last year?"

I thought this was a great idea, so I stole it from Melissa (wink wink).



So today's is "What homemade Christmas Gifts did you make last year?"

I'm all about homemade gifts!!! Lets see, last year, all the kids (cousins, friends kids) got piggy banks. I went and picked up some ceremic piggys at Hobby Lobby. I painted them with acrylic paints, including each childs name on it, then sealed it with clear spray paint. They were sooo cute! I added $1 bills to each so they weren't empty. It still came out to about $5 a gift for each.

I'm not sure we made anything else last year. But we have also done name plaques that I painted each child's name on for them to hang on thier walls. Eric did some wood burning for adults.

Of course, I didn't think to take pics of any of this, so you'll just have to use your imagination!


Plan for my next blog.....Ohio vs Texas, The Wedding Dance

I was Tagged

6. I had a tubal ligation, and completely regret it.

Ok, so the people I would tag, Melissa already did. I don't have a big blog group yet.

back from "Spring Break"

Florida was beautiful!!! Warm weather, out on the beach. I even got a bit of a tan!!! I ate more fish last week, than I will for the rest of the year! lol I got to try stone crab, pretty tasty!

The wedding was great despite the scare we had. Tuesday morning we found out that they had been a wreck Monday night. If it hadn't been for Abby's quick thinking it would have been a head on. God was definately watching out for them! After seeing the pics of the car, nobody should have survived! Abby was in the hospital until Wednesday night or Thursday morning (my days have run together). She was almost fully relying on a wheel chair, if not that, then crutches up until Saturday. But she was very determined and walked from her room, down to the beach, down the isle and danced all night!!!

The wedding was absoluetly beautiful! I'm so ready to go back to the beach. The "chilly" weather was in the 70's. We had some rain Saturday night/ Sunday. But it didn't interfere with the wedding at all!!!
