Brrrrr.....

Its Cold....Again!
We went from near 80 on Tuesday to in the 30's on Wednesday. That is Indiana for ya. There was actually snow on the ground this morning.
I thought sure I would be in Flip Flops from now till October. Guess not. They are calling for a high of 35 on Sunday. I guess the easter bunny is going to have to wear a coat when he is hiding those eggs.
Okay, so I do have to vent about Idol. I mean seriously....Is Sonjaya just going to keep sliding by or what? he wasn't even in the bottom three. I felt so bad for Gina. She didn't deserve to go last night especially up against Haley....who needs to put more clothes on.
Brian's firm is going to the opening day at Victory Field today. (They did the renovations to their concession stands) They are going out for dinner and spouses are invited, so I will be doing that tonight.
Saturday we have a birthday party to go to for Nick. and then Sunday my mom will come down and spend the day with us.
I am really looking forward to seeing them and them next weekend.
I hope everyone has a nice Easter weekend. Don't eat to many chocolate/marshmallow bunnies :)

    that should be good, i think that place is about as upscale as olive garden or red lobster, so it won't be too fancy shmancy.

    thanks. are you ready for sanjaya tonight?
    by txwhittlec at 04/10/07 4:23PM
  • txwhittlec
    I know! I told Edwin what you said and we totally agree...Haley needs to put some clothes on! Even Simon said exactly what she is doing...hoping to get more votes by dressing that way. Sanjaya did sound like a 14 year old...as Simon put it. I still like Blake and Jordin the best.

I've been tagged twice!

Well, I Guess I Have to do this now that I have been tagged twice. I struggle because I don't think I am weird. Apparently others do.....lol! I had to rely on Brian for most of these answers.

1. I have to sleep on my side of the bed (left)

2. Brian thinks my music listening is weird because one day I Will be listening to country and then next day hip hop and the next day maybe alternative rock.

3. Sometimes I Will email my mom and then after about 5 minutes I Will call her to see if she has checked her email.

4. I too like to mow the grass. (with the push mower)

5. I Do not like steak

6. I have an obession with the helicopters that fly around our house. We live near an interstate and we have a minimum security prison in our city. There is alot of helicopter activity. I Need to know wether it is news hel., lifeline, or state police when they are flying over and why they are flying over. A couple weeks ago, Brian called channel 6 to find out for me because it was bugging me so much. (hey you never know when there might be an escapee!

Who to tag? I'll get back to ya.
  • whitestripes
    my favorite thing about #6 is when you get out your cam-corder record the helicopters, while you obsess about what they are doing!

    Those are cute! I am like you on #1 and #4. :)
    by txwhittlec at 03/29/07 2:31PM
  • neentothebean
    Hey, I'm on the left side too!!! I don't know if I love to mow the grass, but #1 it is good excerise for me....#2. It's time to think and #3. I like how it looks afterwards! So, I do it!!
    AND... I do the samething with my Mom... I'm glad we can:)

    Hey, glad you liked my song:)
    by neentothebean at 03/29/07 2:43PM
  • shellbell
    well he sings Hicktown and Amarillo Sky....those are his two popular songs...Hicktown was his first...but if you don't know those two songs then you probaby wouldn't know who he is
    by shellbell at 04/11/07 5:47PM

Are you kidding me?

I cannot believe Sanjaya is still holding on. What is UP? and... I can't believe Stephanie got voted off. She would not be my pick to win it all, but she probably would have been in my top 7. I am getting so annoyed. And.....whats up with the little girl crying in the audience on Tuesday night? They actually interviewed her on the "Today Show" this morning giving her credit for Sanjaya being around another week. Whatever!! Is he getting a sympathy vote or what?
I must say Blake is my favorite right now.
That's just all I have to say about it right now.
  • neentothebean
    Ok, that is totally part of the reason I'm not watching this season.... I got so tired of junk like this!!!! It drives me crazy!!!
    by neentothebean at 03/22/07 7:56AM
  • txwhittlec
    I couldn't agree with you more...that little girl was annoying! That will really irritate me if Sanjaya wins!

    I am just waiting for Saturday Night Live's version of this clip to come out, it is perfect for a spoof.

    I haven't been watching American Idol this time around, and all I've heard about is how Sanjaya should be voted off but he keeps sticking around. I saw the girl on the Today Show and just turned off my tv. :-P

    unfortunately I waited until Sunday night to clean the townhall, and we got home late, and Loren and I had talked for a long time when we got home, so by the time I got home from the town hall it was 2:30! boy am i tired.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.......

Inspired by her......

The Good:

Ladies Getaways
Reuniting with freinds from FC
Singing with your two yr. old
Nice conversations between your 4 and 6 yr. olds
Taco Bell
Warmer temps.
Coffee from Burger King
Planned Florida trips
Sweet hugs in the morning

The Bad:

Not so nice conversations between your 4 and 6 yr. olds
Losing an hour for daylight savings time
Sore throats
kids with runny noses
2 yr. olds who don't sleep through the night (and never have)
Friends moving to Texas

The Ugly:

The calories in what I like at Taco Bell
400 dollar break jobs
Flooded yards from melting snow
Sanjaya making it to the top 12 on American Idol

Enjoy your weekend..................
  • neentothebean
    I had to laugh... I can just hear you saying these things :) Hey, at least the list gets littler as it goes...you know, more good than ugly...that's a good thing:) Enjoy your weekend too!!

  • callmehands
    actually you could have just put "Sanjaya" in the ugly category. I'm confused about the gender there. and you like bk coffee, huh? I've been enjoying McD coffee since it's just down the road.

    Apparently Howard Stern is encouraging his listeners to vote for Sanjaya and also he's getting a vote from votefortheworst.com. So, in a sense, it IS fixed. I'm going to start voting and we'll see what happens. By the way, my husband LOVES Burger King coffee.

    "Not to brag," but it is actually my 3rd year teaching these kids. Each year the dynamic is different--this time it's been pretty easy b/c there's only 4 of them and they're pretty sweet. But it's been pretty crazy before. Plus, now I'm kinda getting the swing of it (it's about time)!

Leaving town.....

Well, for the night anyway. Stacy, Brooke and I are going to LaFayette for a ladiesgetaway. A couple of our other church friends from Indy are going as well. I think it will be very encouraging and uplifting, as we will be attending sessions focused on marriage, raising children, and prayer...among others. I am very much looking forward to hanging out with the gals!

Hope everyone else has a good weekend!
  • matermagistra
    Hey...one of my friends is going to that. Her name is Michelle Alford. I wanted to go with her, but had company coming this weekend. Have fun!

    It was so good to see you at the ladies get away! I'm so glad I finally got to experience the encouragement from 300+ women in God's family. All of the sessions were really good and everyone did a great job with their songs and lessons.
