I know, I know, I need to get over the hump and start blogging regularly again. Stuff happens, ya know? Its not like I have a job, 2 kids in school and a husband to visist with at the end of the day or anything...
Anyway, the topic makeup has been on my brain lately. I love it! So, of course, now the "in" think is to be photographed WITHOUT make up!!! What???
Check out my recent post over at All Kinds of Pretty and let me know what you think...

It's Dazzling...
So, this comes as no surprise to those who know me, but I am something of a shoe wh0re. It is a something of a joke between Prince Charming and me - and I will say that he is a pretty good sport about it. He indulges me when my shoes encroach upon his shoe storage space [in our micro closet, a whole other story...] and doesn't laugh [much] when I am trying to decide between the black boots with the block heels, the black boots with the skinny heels or the black boots with the pointy toe.
There is a point to this, I promise. Having 2 little girls tends to cut into my shoe shopping time. Just sayin... So, it was very interesting to me when, while volunteering at an event for St. Jude recently, I happened to overhear some of the field representatives [okay, I was eavesdropping] talking about one of the girls shoes [which I had noticed] and she was telling them about this shoe "club" that she had joined.
Okay - shoe club - now I am really listening. So, I butt into the conversation and get the scoop about ShoeDazzle! Now, you might ask, just what exactly is ShoeDazzle!? It is a shoe "society" with a membership fee of $39.95 a month. Each month, you are sent an email containing a link to 4-5 different shoesm which are selected for you based on criteria that you provided when you joined the site. If you want a pair, you select them and voila! You are the owner of a new pair of shoes for $39.95. If you don't want any shoes, you just make sure to respond by the 5th of each month and decline. And you can cancel at any time. Sounded reasonable to me, so I joined.
The first month, I got the cutest pair of brown ballet flats - something I had been looking for and just never had the time to shop for (thank you, Savannah and Tara...those girls just do not understand that it is important to try on ALL the shoes in your size when going to a shoe department...).
But, it is the second month where I truly fell in love. Just look what showed up in my inbox on Feburary 1:
I adore these shoes!!!! They are the most gorgeous, shiny, leather, RED heels and I am in love! Again, something I have been wanting and just haven't had time to shop for recently.
So, I am a huge fan of ShoeDazzle!!! And it is rubbing off on my co-workers because several of them have joined recently, too!
And, no, ShoeDazzle! is not paying me for this...lol...although I certainly wouldn't mind if they wanted to comp me some shoes...

Ewwww...seriously?
Do you really want to be the woman that dates this guy?
I mean really!?!? Is there a guy in the US these days that is any skeezier? I get actual chills (and not in a good way) just thinking about it!!!
So apparently, he has a new girlfriend - I stress the word "girl." Seriously, at 24 she is not old enough to theoretically be the mother of his oldest daughters - well, I guess she is technically, but you get the point. I just don't get it. She is attractive (couldn't find a good photo except for one from her facebook floating around the web and I draw the line at using that one), wealthy, educated (from Emory, no less).
He is a moderately attractive guy at best, unemployed, the father of EIGHT children. All that might be fine if he were just not so disgustingly skeezy -- (pause for chills again)... What does a beautiful, educated, young woman see in him? I have seen the show, y'all - he ain't got a stellar personality.
I just don't get it.
Oh, well...start the clock on her 15 minutes...

60:1 - Sweet Revenge - Nora Roberts
Even though this is technically the 52 in 52 Reading Challenge, since I finished 2009 with a total of 63 books read, I set my goal this year at 60. You might think that I should have pushed myself a bit more and set it for 70 (ahem, Anita...), but I also have several other things I want to challenge myself to do this year (learn to knit, blog more, focus more on my hair clippie hobby) so I am going to go with 60. Here is my promise - if I exceed this year's goal of 60, I will pick a goal of 70 for next year!
Hmmm, what else has been going on with us? It is COLD - I mean COLD. Did I happen to mention it is COLD. And I am not even being a whiny Southerner (okay, maybe a little), but I think it is fair to say that single digit temps qualify as COLD anywhere... I am ready for Spring, but for now, I will settle for the moderate Florida temps we will be enjoying in a couple of weeks at ...DISNEY!!!
Yeah, after months and months and years of Savannnah begging to go to Disney, we are finally going. Honestly, I am probably more excited than the girls. I love Disney. I worked there a semester when I was in college through the Disney College Program. It was absolutely the best experience of my college days and only made me love Disney more than I already did. So, yeah, we are going for the girls, yeah, that's it. Expect more in the coming weeks of the Great Booher Disney Vacation of 2010.
Well, that is all you get for now. Everyone is up and moving around this morning and for me, that means a trip to Wal-Mart is in order. The weekend has begun. Yeah, I live a wild life...

You can't make this stuff up...
Actual conversations on Christmas Eve:
Prince Charming - I think we should turn off the lights outside and turn them back on in the morning.
Me: Okay.
Minutes later as we are getting into bed...
Prince Charming - I thought you were going to turn off the outside lights?!?
Me - I just said okay! I didn't know that "we" mean't "me"!!!
('Course, I am about as bad I guess - I thought "we" meant "he"...
_______________________
At my in-laws for our annual Christmas Eve supper and gift exchange. We gave Dan's brother a CD of Eric Clapton's greatest hits. Our 18-year-old nephew grabs the CD to check it out.
Nephew - Whatcha got? Who's this? Who's Eric CLAMPTON?!?
Cue the explosive laughter from the older adults in the room. Next up - the confused and slightly embarrassed look on Nephew's face...
_________________________
And one from this morning...
Tara - looking at the new bicycle from Santa (which has a ride-along seat for her baby) - Mama, I don't fit the seat!!!
Me - Baby, that is the seat for your baby.
Tara - wailing - But I wanted a bicycle for ME!!!!

More Reading = Less Blogging
I have so many topics to catch up on - Savannah's birthday, the children's Christmas Program at our church, Tara's surgery (tonsils and adenoids removed and new tubes put in), a bento lunch update and of course, Christmas is right around the corner.
But, I am eyeball deep in the Sookie Stackhouse novels and for better or worse, I just don't have the attention span for blogging. I am on book 7 of 10, so it won't be long! Of course, then I am getting a Kindle for Christmas - that could be dangerous!
In the meantime - here are some pics:
Sliding down the jumpy slide at Savannah's birthday party!
Spoiler alert: Can you say Christmas Card?
An actual picture with Santa!! I never thought I would see the day!

Mission accomplished!
I feel a little like Dora!!! I did it - I set my goal and I did it!! 30 posts in 30 days! Yay me!!!
So, what did I really accomplish here?
1. As a new blogger, I really did not have the habit of sitting down and blogging every day - now, I will admit, it has kind of worked its way into my routine after I get the girls down to bed at night.
2. It helped me learn more about what kind of blogger I am. I don't think I will ever have one of those blogs that becomes a "go to" gotta read like Snarky Mommy or Love that Max are for me, but it is a good place to record my musings and share them with the Cyberworld, for whatever that is worth. (Hey, I know I have at least a handful of regular readers. My people - I love you!!!
3. It taught me what I am not - one of those hang it all out there and everyone's opinions be damned. I have lots of off-limit topics that I don't discuss here. I don't curse on here for the most part, because while I don't seem to have any issue with popping off with a word or phrase of the four-letter persuasion when in a close gorup of friends, I tend to automatically not write the same words that I sometimes say. Who knew???
4. I met a goal! Nuff said - big or small - an achieved goal is always a rush for me!
Where do I go from here? I am not sure. I really don't know if I will continue with the Post Every Day Or Else approach I have followed for the past month. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. But I do think that I will be a more regular post than I was. And at least for me, that is enough.

52:52 Challenge, continued...
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote this post. Since then, I had read three more books, bringing my total for the year so far up to 55. They are:
52:53 - Bed of Roses - Nora Roberts
52:54 - Dead Until Dark - Charlaine Harris
52:55 - Living Dead in Dallas - Charlaine Harris
I am halfway through Club Dead - Book 3 of the Sookie Stackhouse novels - they are great. Quick reads, funny and engaging. Since I only started Book 1 Monday, that should tell you something!

Around the world in 80 days...
Well, around Memphis is 12 hours, anyway.
I am zonked so you don't get much tonight - I'm sorry!
We were up at 4 a.m. to go to Walmart.
Then, after dropping the girls off at Kid Station, me and my mom headed to Kohls, then Toys 'R Us, and Target. Took a break for lunch and a mimosa at Olive Garden, then off to the mall for round 2.
We hit Sears, Dilliards, JC Penney's and Macy's.
I am worn out - my feet are killing me and I can't hardly string 2 coherent thoughts together.
My favorite way to spend the day after Thanksgiving!!!!

Turkey Day!
Happy Thanksgiving!!! This will be a quick post because I have to get in bed early so that I can get us at the crack of dawn for Black Friday shopping. Anyway, here are some pictures of the day:
Charles shaking the cream to make butter - was supposed to be an activity for the girls...the novelty wore off in about 5 minutes.
Is it ready YET?????
FINALLY!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Savannah wanted to eat the turkey "bone".
Tara said "I love turkey day!"
The wishbone - About 10 seconds after I took this picture, Savannah was in tears becuase she didn't get the big piece!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve
So, today I was off and my mom is here, so we used the day to menu plan, grocery shop and prep for tomorrow.
We made caramel sauce from scratch for the caramel-whipped sweet potatoes. Well, actually, we made it twice because we, ahem... over browned it the first time - we were going for "amber" colored and ended up with nearly black. So, yeah, that batch went in the trash. The second batch turned out beautifully and yummy!
We baked the sweet potatoes, mixed the dough for the potato rolls and put it in the fridge to do its first rise, made the corn bread for the dressing, chopped up the onion and celery for the dressing, and made my mom's fabulous coca-cola chocolate cake!
So, tomorrow morning, I will be up bright and early to prep the turkey - 16 pounds of it!!! Once I get it in the oven, we will finish the rolls, make the dressing (Paula Deen's recipe!), make the whipped sweet potatos, make mashed potatos, prepare the "giblet" crazy, make the grean beans almondine and do the marinated asparagus - oh, and the 5-cup fruit salad. Whew! Hungry yet???
Enjoyed having the girls here all day - they played pretty good all day and did not want to go to sleep tonight - having too much fun!!! They are excited about Thanksgiving and when my mom asked Tara what she was thankful for, Tara said she was thankful for Christmas! Savannah is thankful for her birthday, which is next weekend on the 6th.
I will leave you with a little ode to Thanksgiving courtesy of Adam Sandler:

Brick Wall
Yep - been staring at the sceen a good 10 minutes. Just not that motivated tonight for some reason. I have no clue. I am letting you down, my loyal public. I have failed you.
So, for a few minutes at least, I will grace you with some general ramblings for the sole and specific purpose of having a blog post today. Cop out. For sure. Ask me if I care...
My mom and step-dad are coming to town tomorrow for Grandparents Day at St. Marys. Savannah's Senior K class has a program and Savannah is so excited. After that, they are coming to campus for lunch with me. I am hoping that there will be time for them to take a tour of the hospital while they are here. I really want them to see it.
Speaking of the hospital. Today was the kickoff of Thanks & Giving on The Today Show. You can see the spot here:
I dare you to watch it and not cry. (If you are reading this on FaceBook, you will have to hop on over to my actual blog to see the spot.) Boy, it really makes you think - I cannot imagine watching one of my girls go through something like that. Everytime I see a patient, it always goes through my mind that he or she is someone's son or daughter. And they were just going about thier life when BAM - they walk into a nightmare.
Hmmmm....I really did not intend this to turn into a public service announcement. But, I am grateful with all my being that there is a place like St. Jude for families dealing with that nightmare. This is the time of year to be grateful and to give thanks for all the blessings in your life. I know I am.
What do you know? I had something to say after all...

Rant...I am so over Jacob/Taylor L...
If I hear one more person ooh and ahh over his chest, I am going to gag! Seriously, people - you need to get out more. He is a good lookin' kid, no doubt - but have you never seen Brad Pitt? http://static.open.salon.com/files/brad-pitt1256828090.jpg
And this one... http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~jfs48/images/BradPitt2.jpg.
Eric Dane? http://highcaliber.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/ericdane-7141591.jpg
Men, people!!! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!!!
Plus, Taylor Lautner's biggest role prior to Twilight was as Shark Boy in Sharkboy and Lava Girl. http://madisonharris.com/images/sharkboy_lavagirl.jpg And, y'all - that picture is from about 2005.
Honestly, I can't tell if all the hype is over Jacob or Taylor. If it is Jacob - Jacob's role is Bella's life is only ever secondary. He knew that - much as he didn't like it. She never led him on to think otherwise. Plus, y'all - it is a book/movie - it is not like they were ever able to actually make different decisions. And for those who call Bella a "player" or a "tramp" for leaning on Jacob while Edward was gone - get real? Have you never relied on a friend to get you though a bad time - she was never anything but honest with him.
As for Taylor - he is a good lookin' kid. But so are lots of people - I have seen better - and you know you have too - well, maybe not you, you little giggle-girl sitting behind me in the theatre, but anyone over the age of 21 has. When all is said and done, while I can admire the physique - he is just not my type.
I think I just read the Twilight series from an entirely different place than a lot of people. To me, it was only ever Edward - Bella said as much herself. I never considered for a second that she would ever be with anyone but Edward - so I guess to my mind, Jacob was only ever secondary. Bella needed him - I don't think she would have survived Edward's absence without him, but she loves him as a friend - end of story.
So, no - I will NEVER swing over to "Team Jacob" EVER!!!!
I like my guys to sparkle. So, go on...bite me, Edward!

You oughta know...
1. I detest Sarah Palin.
2. I struggle to balance being green with the convenience of disposible items.
3. I don't spank my kids, but I will admit to the occasional swat on the bottom - which I always regret...
4. I don't see anything wrong with having an adult beverage in the presence of my kids. In moderation, of course.
5. I voted for Obama.
6. I don't regret my vote.
7. I think whiteknot.org is a great organization.
8. I used to have really lousy self esteem.
9. I think it is disgusting the way they "airbrush" photos these days - no wonder girls have an unattainable idea of beauty these days.
10. Even though I am a lawyer, I detest conflict. It makes me uncomfortable and I will go out of my way to avoid it.
Not sure what brought this on, but most of it comes from articles I have read recently - things I am mulling around in the back of my mind. Some of them may become future blog topics, so this is a way for me to get them out there. This is my blog and these are my opinions. Feel free to share your own thoughts, but I didn't put this out there for debate, so if your comment is about how wrong I am about anything, please don't bother posting it here. If you don't agree with something, that's fine, but go write about it in your own blog - I'd love to read it.

Not sure what brought this on, but most of it comes from articles I have read recently - things I am mulling around in the back of my mind. Some of them may become future blog topics, so this is a way for me to get them out there. This is my blog and these are my opinions. Feel free to share your own thoughts, but I didn't put this out there for debate, so if your comment is about how wrong I am about anything, please don't bother posting it here. If you don't agree with something, that's fine, but go write about it in your own blog - I'd love to read it.

He's makin' his list...
...checkin' it twice.
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice...
Santa Claus is coming to town!!!!
Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year. Always has been! And now that we have little girls, it is even more fun!
I love everything about it - the songs, the old movies, the smells and sights - seeing Christmas lights - everything!!!
Some of my favorite clips from my favorite movies:
Sisters - from White Christmas (my sister and I used to sing this one... I still know all the words!)
Christmas in Connecticut - my absolute favorite!!!
Holiday Inn - need I say more!!!
Miracle on 34th Street - the 1947 version - the original!!!
My favorite part of this movie is the courtroom scene where the prosecuting attorney objects to the admission of evidence and the judge tells him "Overruled!"
And the film that needs to introduction - Its a Wonderful Life
The whole time I am watching this scene I am going "Would he just kiss her already!!!"
And most importantly - a reminder of what Christmas is really about, brought to us by that fountain of wisdom, Linus...
Ahhhh, can't wait!!!
