Today is my sister Katie’s birthday, she’s 23… In case you don’t know she lives in Chile, teaching English to college students. She has a blog listed to the right, but don’t bother – she doesn’t update it! =)
Anyway, she’s slated to be there until Christmas and then potentially will move back to the states. Although my mother has threatened to move to Chile as well should another Republican get elected into the White House. So they may both be way south of the border come the new year…
Wish her a happy birthday!

I have so many things to update about Birthday-a-palooza 08!

• Randy Rogers Band at Georges
• Birthday Day
• Crawfish Boil
• Game Day
• Benton County Birthday Dinner

I had the best birthday ever, I have the most fabulous friends and the best boyfriend! I am so very blessed in my life right now and am grateful that everyone was able to share my wonderful weekend with me!

Lots of pictures to come as well!

That’s right folks! And that refers to quite a lot of things…

Football season is only 6 days away and I couldn’t be more excited – with the beginning of football is also the annual Crawfist Boil!
Also, for those that live close to the founding street… look for something “added” to the neighborhood flair – I just hope we don’t get arrested! But it’s gonna rock!

Along with the intro of football means my birthday – I really enjoy my birthday – not so much selfish – just fabulous! I love all birthdays, I just love mine the most! My second favorite holiday is Halloween! I also appreciate Arbor Day.

So back to football – there is a new tailgating venue that promises to be bigger and better than years past – it means another year of the Turkey Hill Social Club and the Circle of Death – some new additions the crew and a few that have made it through their first few years and have made a solid decision to continue on with the debauchery! Which I’m so very glad! =)

I LOVE FOOTBALL SEASON and all that comes with it! I really do – won’t you love it too? Go Hogs!!!

As promised, I’ve updated my blog… the next few posts are all a bit late in posting so please read them all so you can get totally caught up on ME! =)

So, unlike some people in Denver, I update my blog!
Here is a sneak peak at topics to come…

• Turtle Saving
• Baseball, Beer and Pizza
• Jello Shots
• Hiking Trip – maybe, we were supposed to leave an hour ago
• other Memorial Day weekend fun

Stay tuned – same bat time, same bat channel!

I was making cupcakes tonight for Mike’s birthday and went to find the cupcake pans – they are missing. I panicked – but Amanda came to the rescue! Thanks!!! You saved Mike’s birthday! =) It’s still a mystery as to where the missing cupcake pans are. Hopefully they will turn up soon – I’m about addicted to making cupcakes as I am to snarky new t-shirts.

People from Canada and New Zealand have looked at my blog – YAY!

I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to be pretty long! I’m glad I’ve got some vacation time to break them up. I’m super excited about having some time off and going to Denver and the premiere of SEX AND THE CITY: The Movie!

It was very hot today and windy, but I’ll take hot over cold or rainy ANY day. I think it’s actually NOT going to rain for 3 days in a row – that is in fact a record this year.
It is great though, the honeysuckle is blooming and it smells so pretty outside! I’m so glad I don’t have horrible allergies.

so…. I love chicken fingers, or chicken tenders, whatever you want to call them. Yes they are a simple food, but always a good standby when I don’t like anything else on the menu. The best kind are the ones with lots of crunchy breading. Grubb’s has some of the best! And in fact, the Wal-Mart deli used to have some good ones, not so much any more. They are good comfort food with gravy too! Back in my fat days – like last week… actually more like a few years ago, my friend Diana and I would get chicken tenders and gravy in the cafeteria at work on particullary bad days – they always made us feel better for a bit.
Mike makes fun of me because for my love of chicken fingers.

It’s crappy weather today – we’re under a tornado warning the rest of the afternoon. After the Saturday morning meeting at work, I went to have “mini spa day” with Lynn and Bridget. Sorry, no pictures – I had my camera but never took a picture. oh well, maybe next time.
I was glad to get a new pedicure because the one from last week was pretty rough – I picked a new color which I thought looked pretty – it wasn’t, it turned out to be ghetto gold. Now my toes are back to a pretty hooker red which I feel is always a good choice.
I went to Hobby Lobby to get some AWESOME decor for Melanie’s up coming baby shower. However I can’t say much more about that in the hopes that she actually reads this – the guest of honor can’t know everything that is going on. hehe

On another note, as we watched the news last night, breaking news flashed that a local bank, in which I store a measly amount of money essentially went bankrupt. I assuming under FDIC rules and stuff, my small sum of money is OK. I can only hope that my car loan was dissolved….
