excuse me, can i get a little motivation with that sweet tea?

i love visitin' home. i hate packin'. seriously. hate. and, i tell my punks to never say that word. hate, not punks. punks is my new word. anywho. what was i sayin'? oh, yes, i hate packin'. so, this morning, when i was in-line at mickey d's, i asked the girl if i could, you guessed it, get a little motivation with my sweet tea. i love their sweet tea. seriously. love. it reminds me of home. ahhhh...home.

anywho. motivation. i needed some. so, since the girl at mickey d's just stared blankly back at me, i did what any ghetto-bootied girl would do, i turned to beyonce. and when i searched youtube, i found this video. i love this girls' voice, and she just looks like a gal i would really get along with. and, sadly, those girls are few and far between.

so, click if you have a moment. or, even if you're like me and you don't really have a moment, but you are very easily distracted. have a blessed weekend! ooooh, gap is havin' a one day online only sale.

Q: why are pirates so mean?

A: i don't know. because they just ARRRRe!



get it? they just ARRRRE? i kill myself. happy tuesday! (and, yes, this is the same outfit will wore last year. and, yes, there is almost five years between those two. but, whatcha gonna do?)

get in my belly!

not in a really weird way. you know, in an austin powers kinda way. :)
you'd think he was my kid, what with all the posts 'bout him. no, he's just not old enough to tell me to get my camera out of his face, yet.

givin' me chills

no, i'm not talkin' about the chilly fall rain. i'm not talkin' about the pint of ice cream i just downed. nor am i talkin' about scottie. i'm talkin' about this video. it's a story from here in indy, but it is supposed to be on oprah today. i can hear you now, "oh, no she did not just say oprah!" yes, my friends, i still occasionally watch oprah. but, you won't find me rushin' out to buy her next "must read." i don't read, thank you very much.

watch HERE

would this have been your reaction? hmmmm....

grady says...

that will live in infamy.

okay, maybe not infamy. but for a while. 'cause this was my first family session...

that seventies girl

have you ever thought, maybe you would have liked to have been born in another era? like, i, for instance, really enjoy reading about the early to mid-nineteen hundreds. like the twenties to the late forties. i would have been a southern charmer, and my daddy would have sent me to an all girls school in savannah. and i would have married old southern money. but, alas, i was not. and perhaps, that is a good thing. perhaps God knew i was going to be really high-maintenance. and that i lack a bit of a sense of direction. and that i would have more than likely wasted my life, lost and wonderin' the uninhabited countryside, stopping to ask for directions at every little farm house and plantation along the way. all the while complaining of how hot it was in the summer, and how cold it was in the winter. and, therefor, i say thank you God for my mini-van with built-in GPS system, dual a/c controls and heated leather seats.

well. anywho.

my point, assumin' i actually have one, is that my daughter believes she was born in the seventies. and who am i to bust her bubble? so, here is a throw-back pic for ya, maddie. can ya dig it, foxy lady? peace-out!

overkill

all my life, i've been the "overkill" girl. when i do somethin', i do it. and to heck with the consequences. well, that's not true. i was also the "goody-goody" girl. see how God works things out?

for instance, wonder where wes got his dramaticnessess (whatever) from? "oh, mommy! (in a very thick syrupy voice) my head is killin' me! killin' me!"

so, i'm prayin' that once i get a grip on my mouse, i'll stop goin' overboard in photoshop. but, i do love photoshop. i love it like a fat kid loves cake. like i love scottie. like i love pine-sol lemon flavor, i mean scent. well, almost. i mean, lets not overkill.

here's a few of my plays this mornin'. if you have an account, leave me a little feedback. if you don't...get one, and leave me some feedback. please. look at that! i said please.
