i could really go for a candy bar..

ugh. my lunch break is over (yes it is only 11:25) and i REALLY want a candy bar!
 it really wouldn't even matter what kind. Ok, maybe not a butterfinger (yuck!) but the majority of candy would do at this moment. 
and this would just be over the top good right now! :

On another note, I'm looking forward to a good (hopefully warm) weekend!
We have decided to go to the Delta for The Catfish Festival.
I don't remember ever going to the Catfish Festival growing up, but that is in Tj's neck of the woods so he loves to go ! It should be fun.
 Even though it's supposed to be all about Catfish, it really ends up being all about :

that's right CRAWFISH! Yummy ! I haven't had any of these yet this year, and I didn't have ANY last year since I was pregnant. I know I probably could have eaten them, but the whole crawFISH part made me nervous to eat them.
so with that,

 HAPPY ALMOST FRIDAY ! & A GOOD WEEKEND TO EVERYONE 

st paddy's day fun facts !

I found these little fun facts about St. Patrick's day and thought i would share.

• You better sit down for this one. St. Patrick was not Irish! His dad was Italian, his mother was Scottish and he was born in Scotland. His birth name was Maewyn Succat. Who knew? And the whole chasing snakes out of Ireland? Just a legend.
• Raise Your Glass. On the average day, 5.5 million pints of Guiness are consumed around the world. That number more then doubles on St. Patrick's Day, with more than 13 million pints going down the hatch.
• Shake It Up. The beloved McDonald's Shamrock Shake, introduced in 1970, is not available nationwide. Ask for this minty, green, dreamy shake in places like Tennessee, North Carolina and Kentucky and they"ll look at you like you are crazy. Check out shamrockshake.com for a complete list of Shamrock Shake sightings across the country.
• Better book that church now. St. Patrick's Day is considered the luckiest day of the year to get married
• ...Unless it is a Saturday. According to Irish superstition,Saturday is the worst day of the week to get married. As the proverb states "Marry on Monday for wealth - Tuesday for health - Wednesday the best day of all - Thursday for losses - Friday for crosses - Saturday for no luck at all."
• Keep you eye on the prize, and the leprechaun.Legend has it that if you catch a leprechaun, he will promise great wealth if you let him go. However, don't take your eyes off him or he will vanish! 
• Four leaf clovers -- for your eyes only. Found a four leaf clover? Great. You will now have good luck in gambling and racing and it will render witchcraft powerless! However, you must always carry it with you and never  show it to others, or your luck will fail.
• This is way worse than bad luck! Forget about bad luck. According to the Irish, if a black cat crosses your path in the moonlight, you will die in an epidemic. Yikes! 
• Get your green on! Consider yourself warned: if you don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day, people are allowed to pinch you.  It was believed that wearing green made you invisible to leprechauns, who would pinch anyone they could see. Revelers began pinching those who didn’t wear green as a reminder of that belief.
• Seeing Green. For the past 40 years, the Chicago River has been dyed a brilliant shade of emerald green in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Forty pounds of vegetable dye help provide the vibrant hue.

The last few days

This past weekend, TJ went to the deer camp with his brother to help build a deck on to his trailer.

So Gigi( my mom) came down to spend some QT with me Preston & Greer.

I decided, since she was there to watch the boys, that I would get crafty and
redo this ugly coffee table of ours!

       It was rainy that day, so I set up shop in the garage. Preston kept running in and out of the garage to check on what I was doing. One trip didn't turn out so great though. He rounded the corner, in his sock feet of course, and caught the door facing with his mouth! OUCH!             

I saw blood coming from his mouth and immediately PANIC ensued. 

I just knew he had knocked another tooth out. Luckily, all he got was a fat lip

:(

After all that, I finally finished my project!

TADA!

I'm quite happy with it!

Shabby Chic :)

Mama brought a few toys and the jumper for Greer that weekend.

Ever since Preston has been a little jealous, and keeps popping up in all of Greer's things.

We've found him sitting in the highchair, the jumper, the exersaucer, bumbo seat, etc...

Hopefully this will pass soon!

Greer has started eating baby food two times a day now, instead of 1.

He's already up to 19.1 lbs !!

I know, he's a chunk.

but ain't he cute !



Now i'm just ready for this weekend to hurry up and get here, so I can enjoy these cute little men some more!

Happy Almost Friday !!

brotherly love

 I have been blessed.
Sometimes when you least expect it, you get a slap in the face (thankfully not a literal slap)
that makes you realize how much you have to be thankful for and all the petty worries disappear, even if only for a little while.

 

 {one} do you wear holey jeans? if so, do you buy them that way?i'm not against holey jeans i just don't have any  
{two} do you get a full 8 hours of sleep per night?well that's a big fat N. O.    i'd say in total around 5 {three} what’s your favorite way to eat an oreo?not to. i'm not real big on oreos. if it's all that 's available for a snack & i'm hungry i will eat one or two (no milk!) but i just don't like them otherwise {four} do you wear shoes in your house?no - you're lucky to see me with shoes on at all (other than at work & where i have to wear them) as long as I can remember I have just enjoyed being barefooted.
{five} who would you call first if you won the lottery? my job to tell them i quit . well, not really. TJ first for sure! boy wouldn't that be nice (insert daydream bubble) {six} have you ever been in a food fight?yes. and  they aren't as exciting as they look in the movies, either.  
{seven} do you snore?no- i don't think i get to sleep hard enough to start snoring.
{eight} do you know how fast you type?i don't know. luckily i'm not judged on that at my job.
{nine} can you do a headstand (without using a wall)?haven't tried that in a while. and i would probably break my neck if i did try.
{ten} how do you like your popcorn?i like Kettle Corn if i'm not at the movies and if i am at the movies then i like it with BUTTER AND MORE BUTTER :)



and now on to a WEE BIT of my opinion on American Idol this season:

So far, I am really liking the new judges. I kinda wish Randy had taken a hike as well. At least he hasn't been all , "yeah dawg" as much this season.

As a whole I think the contestants are just O.K. , there are a few that stand out Good & Bad

This Guy:

is Good ! I could watch/listen to him all day.

but this guy:

gives me the heebie jeebies.

and then there is this guy:

really good! (and not to mention VERY SEXY)

and lastly there is this one:

oh.. i meant

seriously does anyone see the resemblence between him and Howdy Doody???

It drives me crazy!

If that doll could sing it would look and sound  just like him.

I'm not a fan!

HAPPY HUMP DAY :)
