Close Encounter in Belize

If you listen ... you will hear the lady sitting next to Gene scream with fright ... as he was telling her the croc was coming into the boat (and that they can jump 10 feet) ... he is so bad!

Mambo Dog

If I would have seen this dog in Mexico last week ... I would have brought her home!!!

Perfect End to a ... hmmm ... Day ...

OK ... today Gene and I ventured to the new ZMax Track in Concord, NC (you know, in Charlotte ... across the street from the Lowes Motor Speedway) to watch the NHRA Full Throttle Series Nationals (that's drag racing for those of you who don't know).

I must say, the Charlotte track is quite a step (a big step) above the Atlanta Drag Strip in Commerce, GA. The facility was quite impressive, as were the people attending. Don't get me wrong, they had their share of the "die hards" but the most part ... things were fairly calm ... didn't get beer thrown on me or see anything that couldn't be unseen or hear any stories about Aqua Net, cigarettes, and faces catching on fire (stories from my trip to Commerce this past Spring) ... but this will give you a small idea of the sea of humanity that we saw.

So ... the highlights of my day were:

  • Watching a very large guy named Lucky with a Mohawk and multiple tattoos catch, not one, but TWO Geico t-shirts shot out of a cannon.
  • Witnessing the biggest blow dryer I've ever seen.
  • Seeing a guy who someone apparently forgot to tell him he was going to a drag race and not a drag club.


  • Being blinded and choked by the exhaust from the top fuel cars firing up their engines in Nitro Alley.
  • Seeing famous people that I had NO IDEA who they were.
  • Seeing the body of a ga'zillion $$$ funny car dropped by one of the crew. Can you say fired?


  • Having all my internal organs "shook up" while standing at the fence at the starting line watching the Funny Cars.
  • Watching a top fuel car go 1/4 mile at 316 MPH in 4 seconds (no lie)!

  • Seeing a young man with a kelly green mullet (but it was a wig, thank goodness).
  • Having every stitch of my clothing soaking wet because the humidity was at least 200%.

And to end this day in perfect style ... we stopped at the Waffle House on the way home for dinner where apparently the guy eating at the bar thought it was karaoke night and sang every song that came on the juke box loud enough so we all could enjoy. He started with Hick Town, followed by a lovely rendition of Beer for My Horses and ending with a moving version of American Pie! This is where Gene made the best quote of the day ... "There are more rednecks in here than there were at the drag race!"

Can't wait until March 2010 for the next event in NC ... Nothing beats living in the south (especially the Carolinas) ... you just can't make this stuff up!

Squirrel Photo Bomber


This little guy is the hottest thing on the interwebz .... have you heard about him?

Thanks to my niece, Kelly, working for a site in NYC called urlesque.com ... and my following her ... I get to see the cutest things ... here is her post about this unretouched pic!

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce the greatest photo on the internet.... the squirrel photobomb.

Melissa Brandts and her husband stopped to take a photo using their camera's self-timer while vacationing in Canada. Intrigued by the sounds of the camera, a curious ground squirrel came over to check things out and popped into the frame right at the perfect moment. With a photobomber is a lot cuter (and classier) than the typical culprit,
the couple's photo is not at all ruined -- in fact, we like it 1000x better. Update! Squirrel photobomber enters meme territory! He's popping up on the red carpet, in classic photos... everywhere!

I made a few squirrel photo bombed pics myself ... see:)

One of my all time favs!

My favorite parts ... When Daffy refuses to sit on the egg ... when he bonks the frog on the head by mistake and the best quote "now pick up your face and sit on that egg" BWHAHAHAHA
They just don't make 'em like this anymore!

Maybe the alligator in the middle of Hwy 17 this week was just looking for Daffy and his egg!  Glad SC DNR decided not to put him down.

EARWORM!!!! AHHHHHH!

Kristi Ladd mentioned on her FB Sesame Street and now ... Holy Cookie Monster ... I have an earworm and can't get rid of it. Thought if I shared with you, maybe I could get rid of it!

Good Grief!

OK ... most of you know that my mother-in-law has moved in with us... she has been wonderful. She can stay as long as she wants. My little dog, Puff, loves her. She has kept him for us numerous times when we were out of town in the past. You mention the name 'grandma', he goes nuts.

Anyway ... I figured when she moved in, he would be partial to her. No so much. Last night she was helping me get laundry out of the dryer and Puff starting doing his little dance like he wanted something. She said she would take care of it a started down the stairs to see what he wanted. He wouldn't go. I thought maybe he wanted on his blankie at the foot of my bed so I put him up there ... NOPE ... he got down and started dancing again. I said ... "I think he wants me!" I started down the stairs and he took off. He waited for me at the bottom of the stairs and then waited for me until I walked into the room where we keep his water bowl (Gene was even sitting in the room right next to his bowl)! He just wanted water but I had to escort him to it! Can you say SPOILED ROTTEN!

I love this performance at the Mayo Clinic by 90-year-old man and his wife of 62 years. Maybe we could learn something from this on how to have a long life and a successful marriage.

My mother taught me RELIGION..."You better pray that will come out of the carpet."

My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL..."If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!"

My mother taught me LOGIC..."Because I said so, that's why."

My mother taught me LOGIC... #2"If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me."

My mother taught me FORESIGHT..."Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."

My mother taught me IRONY..."Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about."

My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS..."Shut your mouth and eat your supper!"

My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM..."Will you LOOK at the dirt on the back of your neck!"

My mother taught me about STAMINA..."You'll sit there 'till all that spinach is finished."

My mother taught me about WEATHER..."It looks as if a tornado swept through your room."

Country vs Southern

We had a discussion here in the office yesterday on Country vs Southern. I told our little friend from New Hampshire (who IS from the New England countryside) that I'm not country, I'm Southern. He said, "Yeah, whatever." I have you know I was raised in Metropolitan Nashville ... never lived in the country ... only visited it briefly. Don't ride horses, don't slop the pigs, don't gather the eggs. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but just don't. Nope, not a "country" girl ... Just Southern and proud of it! :)


Hmmm ... I think kitteh here explains it best ... LOL

Youtube Adventure

OK ... so, I've been trying to help out my hubby, Gene, with a video of his corvette he has for sale. So ... I told him I'd make him a Youtube and Google account and we'd get it uploaded so he could send the link to prospective buyers. We have done all of this and I have explained to him numerous times how to copy and paste the link into emails, craigslist, corvette forum, etc. But every time he goes to do that ... I hear a beckon from his office ... "How do I copy the link?"

Kitteh here sort of 'splains how I feel! LOL




Oh BTW ... here is his video :)

...and a little child

I've started a new blog. Back in 1993, when Courtney was 3 years old, I starting writing down lessons God was teaching me through being her mother. I put together a couple of little books and gave a few away. Lately I have felt impressed to share these short little lessons with my new interwebz friends.

If you know any young moms or anyone you thing might enjoy these stories, please share this link andalittlechild.blogspot.com. Maybe someone may not feel so alone when their child isn't "picture perfect."

I always knew that the personality traits Courtney had as a child, that drove me crazy, would serve her well into her adult years. So far ... that has been true (and she is almost 19 years old now).

In case you didn't understand...

My last post was titled ... "Don't forget to pack your angry eyes." If you didn't understand, that line is from Toy Story 2 when the toys were setting out to rescue Woody who had been kidnapped (toynapped?) by a toy collector. Mrs. Potatohead was helping Mr. Potatohead pack and was packing him his Angry Eyes ... just in case in needed them. She's a good wife!

Don't forget to pack your Angry Eyes!

This may be my favorite Super Bowl Commercial!
