Bird Poop and More

Only my Rand would get pooped on by a bird in the middle of Cat Country! We spent the afternoon at the zoo and we had been there no longer than 15 minutes when I hear, "You've got to be kidding me. A bird has just crapped all over my shoulder!" Only Rand. He has the worst luck for someone who doesn't believe in luck.

It was nice to get away from the house and the stress of moving, finding a new job, etc. We went to the zoo one last time. Most everytime we go to the zoo I take a picture in this egg. We figured we probably wouldn't be back there until we were pushing a stroller in a couple of years, so we took full advantage of our freedom today.

We then ate at one of our favorite Italian places in midtown and came back home for one last cleaning. We saved the bedroom for last. We have large and dark furniture in our room and a 64 inch wide arch window. I always dread cleaning it because it is dust central. It is the one room in the house that I just tidy up most of the time and don't deep clean. Well, tonight Rand brought in the shop vac and I got under the bed to get all the dust bunnies. I, like an idiot, put the hose on backwards and everything in the vac blew out the other hole. The room was covered in dust. I couldn't figure out why I was coughing so bad all the sudden and where the sonic salt wrappers came from. Rand then informed me I had just blew out all the trash from his truck and my car! Anyway, after cleaning up that huge mess we are now living in a model home. Really, it is insanely clean. I am a clean freak and this is way too clean for me. It better sale fast!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time. I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud! I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
