Auntie Em Time

I started a tradition with my sweet Wes this year that I hope to continue throughout the years. It was great Auntie Em time! I took him to Whole Foods
for a Gingerbread Decorating thing. It was lots of fun. Boys definately decorate different then girls do...it took ALL I had not to try to color coordinate & decorate it like I would! But he did a fabulous job!

THE KNIFE DRAWER?!

Here is a conversation between myself and my sweet nephew, Wes.

Me: Wes! I heard you cut your hair today...you aren't supposed to be cutting your own hair.

Wes: HeHe!HeHe!

Me: Where in the world did you get the scissors?

Wes: Auntie Em, I got them out of the knife drawer!

Does anyone see a problem with this response? Apparently he has the ability to go through all the child proof stuff now!

Not Time for Christmas Music!!!

Okay people...let's get a grip!! Who in their right mind truly feels the need to listen to christmas music prior to Thanksgiving? Is it really necessary to begin celebrating Christmas before we celebrate Thanksgiving? I THINK NOT!! I know what some of you are muttering under your breath right now about me....BAH HUMBUG! Well...say what you will, but there is beauty in living in the moment...not the future! TAKE THAT!

This blog was inspired by the fact that one of my co-workers just got annoyed with me for turning off the christmas music...yeah...I'm brutal, I know...but he dared
to change my country music...no one tunes out Brad Paisley...and I mean no one!

Hope your day is filled with great melody...just not a christmas one!

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!

I thought I'd take a moment to support the Jayhawks...could they be having a better season so far?! Who would have thought they would finally be noted for their football instead of just basketball?! Oh and my friend told me about a shirt that a KU fan was wearing....My coach beat anorexia! Anyone who has seen the KU football coach would probably find humor in that shirt...I'm going to have to find one!

Here's a link to an article from their latest win.

KU creeps up another notch in the BCS Standings.

Picture Contest

I'm entering this photo of Dex into a photo contest tomorrow. I know, I'm such a dork! But, if I can get some money off my sweet boy, then why not?! Thought I'd share the picture with everyone.

A banana tree?

Am I alone on this or do you feel the same?

FOR THE LOVE...STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE!

Okay...those of you who know me well won't be a bit surprised to know that I tend to get impatient with other drivers. But in my defense, I only get mad at the stupid ones! Let me paint the scene for you... I'm minding my own business driving down the road, window down, radio blaring w/ me singing along, Dexter's hair blowing in the breeze, going above the speed limit with is pretty typical with me. Anyway...this woman was driving ridiculous and couldn't even stay in her lane. I looked over and saw her nose hair...yes, nose hair! So that made me say out loud to Dexter (yes, I talk to my dog) that you know someone is driving out of their lane and/or too close when you can see their nose hairs. She must not have a husband or any friends, otherwise, surely they would have told her she needed a little trim! And although I haven't had nose hair issues, I'd like to think that I have the best of friends who would NEVER let me in public looking like that!

My thought for the day (which I'm stealing from Friends don't let Friends drive drunk)
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS HAVE LONG NOSE HAIR!

And you thought this was going to be about driving...
