Finally!!!

It is a GIRL!!!

My brother and sister-n-law had their 4th child (yes, I did say 4th) and it was a little, precious healthy girl! They named her Lessie Ruth and she has a head full of hair just like her 3 brothers did. The baby girl with be spoiled I am sure... and tough with 3 older brothers. She came on Father's Day, how sweet. My dad told me I gave him the 2nd best father's day gift this year.... you know behind his first granddaughter. That is hard to be beat Gosh my brother beats me out on the Ftaher's Day gift and he is halfway around the world. He is so compeitive :)

The REACHER?

Last summer while in Europe with two girlfriend's we started a little game called "Who is Doing Who a Favor?" This was so much fun when you are in countries where you aren't exactly fluent so you can't just chat it up the locals :) Basically this game is as simple as spotting a couple and deciding who out of the two individuals is more attractive. More times than not it was a no brainer but there were a few instances where we either didn't agree as a group or it was a true toss. Yes, this does seem kinda judgemental but it was all harmless fun.

This fun game came back to me while watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother. Side note: I LOVE that show! The show was about how every relationship has a "Reacher" aka the person who is having the favor done to them. So next time you are stuck in a lone line, a delay at the airport or just at a casual dinner with friends, think "Who is the Reacher here?" It may just be you :)

Shiny Silver Box

True story,
I just had to share.

A friend of mine was out of town with her fiancee. They were eating at a restaurant that happened to have a generic restroom. He went to the bathroom during dinner and came back with a grin on his face. He said to my friend, "You know that is awful nice how they have free tampons for you ladies in the stalls, do all restrooms do that?" My friend looked at him puzzled, "You mean in a basket on the sink counter or something?" He said no in those shiny silver boxes in the stall, I saw tampons in there. My friend said she could not quit laughing as she informed her fiancee that he was looking at used tampons that ladies before him had discarded. He was mortified and said to think it is someone's job to clean that shiny silver box.

Think about that the next time you think you are having a bad day :)

Priceless...

This past weekend my brother and his family came home for the first time in 2 years... and to say I was excited would be an understatement. You see they live in Indonesia, so it's not like I can get in a car and go see them or really get on a plane and go see them (It's a LONG, several day trip). Their flights got messed up so we didn't get back to Greenville with the whole family until after 11PM on Friday night. When I say whole family, I mean the whole lot. My brother, his wife (who is preggers) and their 3 boys. Joshua is 4 1/2, Caleb is 3 and Jedidiah is 1 1/2 years old. Jedidiah I have never actually held or touched. I've seen him grow from infant to the adorable walking/talking toddler he is today via Skype but it just isn't the same. So needless to say when they wanted him to sleep in my bedroom I was more than happy to accommodate. They told me he may want to lay beside me in the bed vs. his pack-n-play. The poor kid had been traveling and out of his norm for more than 48 hours, heck if I wasn't going to give him anything he wanted. Can you say "Let the spoiling begin"! He not only slept with me in the bed, he slept on top of my chest the entire night. It was so sweet...yes, I didn't get any sleep, but as I said to everyone that weekend it was a "Priceless Moment!" The weekend was filled with many priceless moments and I can't wait to make more while they are here but another "Priceless Moment" came on Monday while at work when my Mom text me that "Jedidiah has lice and I probably want to go get Lice Shampoo"....WHAT? My first special moment with my new nephew and he gives me lice....truly PRICELESS! :)

Life gets crazy

Sometimes I feel like I just can't keep up...and this is before the huddy and kids phase of life-what then???

I was looking over my gmail calendar to try and find an open weekend to take a little road trip with a friend when I realized that I don't have one open weekend in March, April and yep May also!

I mean it is cool to be popular and all, but this chick ain't so Spring like anymore.. I need down time. Let me know if you know where I can find some.

Ever have this happen to you?

Here is the setting:

At dinner with 3 girlfriends at a cute little place in Athens, GA.

Need to know:

4 girlfriends who don't get to see each other too often, which means there is constant gabbing... I mean A LOT!

Now the scene of the crime:

Friend A: Right in the middle of a "personal conversation" when Waitress walks up... Oops!

AWKWARD

Waitress Takes Drink Order and then Leaves.

SAME Friends A: Right in the middle of an "old College story" if you get my drift when, yep, Waitress returns with drinks... Oops! AWKWARD

And the night would not be complete without the same said friend making a horrible comment that would not make a bit of sense unless you had heard the entire conversation, when Waitress again returns with our food. BEYOND AWKWARD AT THIS POINT

Oh Boy... What must that poor young girl be thinking? We really are good people!

I think next time we will cook in!
