It Obviously Didn't Work!

"Free her from the witch craft, JEE - SUS!"
What a nutcase!!

Fun Weekend Ahead!

Is it Friday yet? I am always excited for the weekend to be here but I am more than ready for it to get here this week because my best friend Candice is coming to town. Yay! She is currently in graduate school in D.C. I miss her so much! But she is coming to stay with us Friday and Saturday night. Woohoo!

(Hopefully when she graduates she'll move back *hint**hint* if you're reading this Candice)

Why I Have A Head Ache

Today was the first day of renovations on the building next door. Apparently, even though the wall is brick it isn't very insulated because we hear everything going on over there. So this is what I've heard all day...... times 20. Pair this with a very busy work day and you get one very aggravated employee (actually I'm sure several of us are but I'm only speaking for myself on this one). I hope this doesn't continue much longer (I say, knowing that it will).

I Wanna Play, Daddy!

Rafa decided he'd help his daddy get warmed up for the game!

I think he's actually trying to chew the ball here. Stop that, Rafa!

~ Girls Night Out ~

Aida and I decided that Saturday night would be our girls night out. Unfortunately, none of our other girls could make it out. But we had a pretty good time anyway! Aida came with me to a fundraiser then we moseyed on over to Brandon's house to see what the guys were up to. We finished watching Auburn lose (haha!) then headed downtown to share a few drinks and some laughs. I captured this perfect moment on camera!

I don't remember what was so funny.... but after all the drinks (thanks Lucas, for driving) we headed to the Waffle Hizzy for some good hashbrowns - scattered, covered, smothered!

So although it didn't end up being a girls night out exactly, it was a lot of fun. Thanks Aida for attempting the girls night out. This will give us an excuse to try again - and SOON! :)

By the way, Saturday night's festivities led to a sleepy Sunday. Needless to say, I'm still working on that laundry.

Help Mel Show Our Support

Mel over at A Dramatic Mommy is participating in a cool program where she has "Adopted a Soldier". They correspond back and forth and she sends special care packages to 'Sgt. R'. During some recent correspondence, Sgt. R commented that he knew some Americans supported troops but it would be nice to know that there were more of us around the country who felt the same way. So she decided to let him know there were supporters from across the country by sending him postcards from every state! How cool! So, I'll be sending one from Alabama. Please go on over to her blog and check out how to get involved. Even if you're from Alabama or one of the other states that have already sent postcards - the more the merrier.

Click here to read her original post and then go on to her update for her inspiration on this project.

Also, go on over to Blog Around the World where I originally found out about this project!

Remember - you don't have to support the war to support our troops!

September's Desktop Calendar

As those of you who've been with me for a while may know, each month I use a new desktop calendar from Shabby Princess Scrapbooking. Also, as you may have noticed the first of September came and went with no desktop update. That is why it is now the 19th of September and my computer desktop still has an August calendar up. Work is crazy! But don't worry, I couldn't even see the calendar because it was covered up with files (I know that is really bad to keep saving things to my desktop but it just happens overnight and I have to do a cleanup every other week or so - but there has been no time). Anyway, so I'm finally getting around to changing the desktop. Now, SP has a really cute calendar. Check it out:
BUT - this is my desktop for the month of September and most likely through mid-November at least. (Aww, heck - probably all of December to celebrate)!

(See, I cleaned up just for you!)

You can get yours at barackobama.com.

Also, there are ringtones. I find that interesting. I may check it out.
