Any given Saturday...

So, 'Bama is going to the National Championship for the first time since 1992 - WOOHOO! ;) gotta love it! They really played an awesome game against Florida, it was amazing. They will play against Texas for all of the Marbles now... We shall see on Thursday, January 7th - who the number 1 team in the Nation is. The Ohio State University will play against Oregon in the Rose Bowl on January 1st. That's about the only 2 games that I'm interested in. Well, not really - there will actually be a lot of good games this year. I'll be interested in seeing how my Cinci Bearcats hold up against the Florida Gators - that might be an interesting game as well. In any case... you really never do know on any given Saturday...

SO much to catch up on...

It's been awhile, so lots and lots to catch up...

• FOOTBALL is here! Are we all thrilled and excited!?! yes! The College Football season has started with a bang. My Buckeye's finished off with a win - not a very great win - but a win nonetheless, and I'll take it! The Alabama Crimson Tide, however finished off with a very exciting win over #7 Virginia Tech! What a game that was! This weekend is the BIG GAME for Ohio State - vs. USC at 7:00 cst - cannot wait. It's at home in the horseshoe - GO BUCKEYE's!!!
• We spent this past weekend in Georgia at the Seeeemons new abode. It was quite loverly! They were most hospitable! We had an absolute blast there! We watched tons and tons of football, we ate loads of food that was heavenly and we visited with wonderful friends. What a great weekend. It was the the 4 of us Wrights, Donnie and Cameron, and the 4 simmons - it was fun for all.
• However, on Monday morning when we got ready to leave - it was not good. I woke up not feeling... "right". NO - i was not hung over. It was the start of a nasty bug. I was down with it til this morning - the good news tho was that I lost 5 pounds - woohoo! ;) hahh. I won't go into any of the nasty details about the virus except to say, that I don't want that bug again - ick. That was the longest 5 hour drive home from Georgia! Hated that.
• So, here we are and I have to catch up on work now... I hate that.
• Did y'all have a good labor day weekend? what'd you do exciting?
• Go Steelers tonight - that's for my brother Kevin in Myrtle Beach... :)
• and I'm outta here - gonna go home and rest, then log back on to catch up on my work email. FUN STUFF. Hope y'all have a great Thursday night!
• ta ta for now...

Here we are again...

It's a Tuesday... already? And it's the first of September - can you believe it? WOW... The year is simply flying by - we are nearly through 2009 already? damn. I can't believe it. So I have a fairly 'bizzy' week this week and that's a good thing. We have football and soccer practice tonight, tomorrow night off, a soccer game on Thursday night along with football practice that night as well and then we leave for Georgia on Friday. Busy, busy! Meanwhile I must get loads of laundry done and the house cleaned so that we can get outta here at a decent time on Friday. FUN. yep. I'm lookin' forward to our trip over the weekend. We get to see our friends again, and their new house - can't wait. A weekend of beer, food and football! woohoo! GOOD times. How are things going for you? Do you have exciting plans for the Labor day weekend? I hope so. Lemme know what you're up to - I mean, outside of football of course - I know that EVERYONE is going to be watching college football this weekend - being the first game of the season and all - of course they are! hahh! ;) lol. OK y'all - I'm outta here - hope you are having a wonderful, wonderful day!

A very rich man met a beautiful lady and he decided he wanted to marry her right away. She said, ''But we don't know anything about each other.'' He said,''That's all right, we'll learn about each other as we go along.'' So she consented, and they were married, and went on a honeymoon to a very nice resort. So one morning they were lying by the pool, when he got up off of his towel, climbed up to the 10-meter board and did a two and a half tuck gainer, this followed by a three rotations in jackknife position, where he straightened out and cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on the towel. ''That was incredible!'' she said. ''I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we'd learn more about ourselves as we went along.'' So she got up, jumped in the pool, and started doing laps. After about thirty laps she climbed back out and lay down on her towel hardly out of breath. ''That was incredible!" he said. "Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?'' ''No,'' she said, ''I was a hooker in Venice and I worked both sides of the canal.''

5 more days...

• # 6 Buckeyes vs. Navy at noon Eastern on Saturday! can't wait.
• #5 Bama vs. #8 Va. Tech at 8:00 pm Eastern on Saturday - the night game, this should be a great game.
• We're leaving here as soon as the kids get outta school on Friday to head to the new Seeeemons estate in Georgia - can't wait to see my friend nicsims! ;) woohoo! Spend a nice long weekend with them and take their long lost zeke back to them - i know how much she's missed him! :D hahh!
• i have a terrible headache today. I spent most of the weekend in bed with a migraine and now my head feels "bruised" from that. Let's hope that clears up soon. augh.
• must go get more cofffee... soon.

It's the final countdown...

Yeah, I'm a slacker - completely...

OK, ok - but what can you do? I've been busy slacking off and not posting regularly like a good girl. I will attempt to fix that and get caught up with all of my friends. Truth be told, I'm just spending more and more time on facebook and have slacked here. That's unfair to you, and I apologize. sincerely.

So anywho - did y'all have a great Superbowl party? We really did, we went over to meester and meesus seemons house and had a good time. Lots of friends and TONS of food - but what's a Superbowl party without 10x your weight in food? right. I was cheering for the Steelers, strictly because my brother Kev is a die-hard Steelers fan and I really didn't care much about the outcome otherwise. So congrats to them, it was a good game down to the end. LOVED that both Harrison (from Kent State, my alma mater) and Holmes (from THE Ohio State University) scored big points for the Steelers - that's good stuff. Made it all that much sweeter.

Anyway, I've started on South Beach diet today, trying to get this weight loss kick started. I've had pretty good luck in the past, and hope that I will again - keep your fingers crossed for me! I ran again over the weekend, just 1 mile - but felt good at the end of it. I'm trying to keep it up. I have to build up to 2.5 miles by Mar 4, I think that is definitely do-able... we shall see.

Well, what's going on in your world?

is it Monday already?

... seriously? I've been sick all weekend and spent the entire weekend on the couch in a nyquil induced stupor. ick. what is up with me? I'm getting sick all of the time lately - i just don't get it? I think i must need to start back on a multi-vitamin or something, I know i need to take better care of myself to start with - but hell, - i'm the mom - i get leftovers. LOL. That's just how it works.

Anyway, did y'all have a good weekend? I guess I did - I just didn't realize it was gone so fast. Bama lost to Florida in the Big SEC championship game and I really hated that. I hate the gators! :( Anyway, that puts Florida in the national championship with Oklahoma - GO SOONERS! ;) Bama will play Utah in the Sugar Bowl and my beloved Buckeye's will play Texas in the Fiesta Bowl. GO BUCKEYE's! Should be some good games.

So, have you started your holiday shopping yet? I had intended to start this weekend, but obviously didn't get around to it - so, hopefully this weekend. Not sure that I'll have any money to shop with - but that's the least of my worries! hahh!

ok folks, i'm outta here - hope you have an absolutely mahvelous monday and i'll chat with you later!

TGIF

Yeah! It's Friday and I'm almost outta here. I believe that I will leave early today - you wanna know why? cuz i can. I think. We'll see, i've got a few more things that i've gotta do and get done, and then i'm outta here. I also already have Monday off cuz my son is taking me to school with him for the day. Isn't that great? He actually wants me there - a 6th grade boy - and he still wants his mama to come see him at school - I LOVE IT. I know the time is coming when I won't so much as get a hello from him in public, so I must use it all up now and get what I can! So, I get to follow him around for the day and see how his day goes and meet all the teachers and blah blah blah - mainly i'm going to scope out any of these girls in his class that he's started talking about recently - one of them even called him recently! I'm not ready for all that drama yet. What will i do?

Anyway, big football weekend - The OSU Buckeye's play Penn State on Saturday - in the horseshoe! This is a BIG game for my buckeye's! of course it's a big game for Penn State too, cuz they're actually rated #3 right now in the BCS - this could put them in contention for the championship game and since they are Big 10 - I wouldn't mind it so much. But still, my Buckeye's are rated #9 right now in the BCS and I think we still have good chances at the national title - you know what they say - 3rd time's a charm! ;) haha!

OK - that's bout all that I know right now. I'm gonna go gitrdone (said with a very southern twang) and try to get on outta here! (i just might pick up this whole southern thing and maybe even get my own varmint gun! LOVE IT.)

Happy Saturday

Well, it's been a very bizzy week and i'm sorry that I haven't been available - but you know how it is, shit happens. Anyway, getting ready to go running around today with my mom and then watch some college football - GO BUCKEYES!!! Hope you guys have a really great day today, and I'll chat with you more later and try to catch up then.

ta ta for now...

Happy Monday!

Well, I made it through Quarter-end and lived to tell about it. I mean, I knew that I would of course, but it was quite the challenge this time. I love a good challenge, but this one was, well... really challenging. So anyway, How was your weekend?

First and foremost - since I missed posting this important bit o'news on Friday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Kimpossible! WOOHOO! Our girl turned 34 on Friday and had quite the par-TAY. (which, I of course missed cuz I'm just not the party girl that I used to be.) No, but really - we didn't have a babysitter, so Fuddy and I both couldn't go out there - cuz it's just too far to leave the kids alone for. I couldn't go out there by myself, cuz then how would I drive home??? sigh - you just can't win. ;)

Secondly - How bout that damn TIDE!!???!!! Roll Tide Roll!! Wow, that was a great game - I picked Bama to win, but I didn't think they'd win by that much - that was great. Down with the Dawgs - what a shame. haha. Plus the Buckeye's won as well - woohoo!

Next - well, that's all I've got - I've got to get back to work and get a few things done. Hope y'all are having a great Monday and I'll chat with you later...

Love ya'!

GO BUCKEYE'S!!

Well, today's the day! We're preparing the ribs to get out on the grill and just getting ready for the day. Tonight is the big Buckeye/USC game and I'm totally ready for it - I just hope the Buckeye's are ready for it too! The big word is that Beanie Wells is out for the game and that sux, but we have some good replacements for him in any case. I hope he gets to play, but we shall see. OK y'all - I gotta get outta here and go get some food right now. Have a great day and GO BUCKEYE'S!!!! WOOHOO!

TGIF? Go Buckeyes!

Trick, that wasn't very nice. Why would you root for the Trojans over my Buckeye's?? what's up with that? geez. Anyway, it's a crazy insane day and I really don't have time, so just wanted to say hey and a big shout to my Buckeye's! Go get 'em! Hope y'all have a great weekend, I'll try to check in later.

Honey, I'm home...

Well, I'm back in sweet home Alabama! For a bit there last Thursday night - I wasn't sure that I was going to make it home on Friday. I was sick as a dawg on Thursday night - not sure if I had some food sickness or what - but something did not sit right at all and I spent all of Thursday evening puking in my hotel room - fun. oh yeah, fun. I did make it and managed to get home safe and sound in Huntsvegas again. That was a long day, a very long day.

In anycase - have you missed me? ;) I missed you too! Really, I did. I had a great visit in Seattle, but it's always nice to come home. What'd y'all do for the long weekend? We kept it pretty low key - not much going on. Quick updates...

• College Football is back! yeehaw! Saturday was a great day to just hang out and watch some good college ball - so that's what we did. My Buckeye's won (of course) but Beanie Wells was injured during the game. I haven't heard anymore on him and whether he's going to play or not in the next week or two. I think that's a bit odd that we haven't heard more on that. Hmmm. I think the Buckeye's will continue to play well, even without him - but it will hurt to lose him. How bout that tide???!! Yes, Bama showed up to play Saturday night! Clemson didn't know what hit 'em! No way, they rolled right on over 'em. Loved it.
• Sunday we headed out on the boat with the seeeemons, just went out on their boat this time. We had a great afternoon, it was really fun. The water was very rough out there, really windy. The handley's were out on their boat and met up with us and we all just hung out and had a good time.
• Sunday evening, we went back to the seeeemons house and grilled out and drank - and then drank some more. Ended up just crashing over there that night since we drank so much - don't wanna risk driving like that, especially with my babies.
• Monday morning we headed home and it was a lazy day around the house. I did some laundry and whatnot, we watched 21 (decent movie) and just kicked back.
• More football Monday night too - we watched Tennessee fall to UCLA - another great game!
• I missed a family reunion back home in Ohio on Sunday - hate that I missed it, it sounded like my family had a lot of fun there. I just couldn't afford the gas to get home this weekend, plus our schedule was all weird with my trip and all. oh well, next time...

OK - that's all that I know - I gotta run and get some work done. Hope you're having a great day and I'll chat with you later!

sigh...

... well with my Buckeye's losing last night - today has been a pretty rough day for me at work. It's extra tough cuz I work with a bunch of SEC nuts. Yes - that's right - you're nuts! ;) eh - well... there's always next year, right? right.

I'll chat more later.

I'm back and ready for 2008 - bring it on!

Hi y'all! Did you have a great new years eve? Fun and safe? Yeah me too. A bit of the same ole same ole here. ;) But here we are now in a brand NEW YEAR! woo hoo!

OK, first and foremost a VERY quick recap of our trip to Ohio...

• Spent the first 2 days at my parents and had a wonderful time with all of the family. We did Christmas and I got spoiled rotten (as always). Got lots of cool stuff, as did the rest of us.
• Went to see a play (White Christmas) at a dinner theatre with my family - that was a really cool night and what a great idea. We had a blast.
• Spent the next 2 days at my in-laws and had a great time there too. We did Christmas again, and guess what? Yeah, we got spoiled! ;) of course. LOL.
• We got to watch lots of football, some better than others - but it's all good.
• Gave Hubby and kids a kiss at midnight on New Years - so we'll have good luck this year! :) happy times.
• Drove home on Wednesday (LOOOOONG drive home). Dropped the niece and nephew off at their daddy's and got home and RESTED. AHhhhhhhh.
• Had a very nice, very long weekend to relax and get things back into 'somewhat' order around the house.

NOW... back to reality. sigh... :(

OK - The Ohio State University is playing tonight for the National Championship - I'm all psyched up for the game. Make sure to watch it - it should be a good one! I've got to run now and catch up on some work - but tomorrow, we're discussing resolutions... plan on it!

WOW! Again?

The BUCKEYE'S will be playing for the National Championships! What an incredibly crazy season we had unfold before us this year, it was a great year of college football. Nothing was what it seemed. Yesterday, #1 and #2 both lost and so #3 THE Ohio State University will step up to play in the big dance. Now, the question remains... who will they play for the title?

Re-cap...

Note to self: Do not let lil girl go to a sleepover on the night before she has a sleepover - that makes for one long, cranky, whiney night. sigh. She crashed Sat. night at about 9:30 - barely made it that long. Her friend that she spent the Fri night with, was also extremely tired and she ended up calling mom to come and get her cuz she was whiney and homesick. The other 2 girls were not so tired, and sat up playing til about midnight. AUGH.

So, the Buckeye's pulled it off on Saturday morning - defeating the wolverines once again on their home field (14-3). It was a good game in that we won, but that was about it - it was a fairly slow uneventful game. Oh well... another pair of gold pants for the 2007 Buckeye team! Good stuff!

I have had a migraine going on 3 days now and am miserable. miserable. My neck and shoulders feel bruised and my head... oh my head...

We leave wednesday night to drive to ohio for Turkey day. Have I mentioned already how completely horrible this trip is going to be? Yeah - it is. 10 hours, 6 people - 1 vehicle that is too small. Can't wait. [heavy sarcasm].

OK - must get going now. I'll chat more later. maybe. Have a good one.

That's just not even funny...

Trick - if you have the keys, you must use them wisely! putting up rubbish like that is not acceptable in any way, shape, or form!!! I understand that you are disillusioned and just plain ignorant - I blame it on your upbringing. You are old enough now, to know better! [shaking my head] what to do with you?

Sigh. Well, tomorrow at 11:00 am central time - we will see... THE Ohio State University will meet Michigan at the Big House for another exciting meeting. The 104th meeting to be exact. It's one of the greatest rivalries out there! I'll be watching - don't call me during the game! GO BUCKEYE'S!!!

Fight the team across the field,
Show them Ohio's here
Set the earth reverberating with a mighty cheer
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Hit them hard and see how they fall;
Never let that team get the ball,
Hail! Hail! The gang's all here,
So let's win that old conference now.

Shots and things...

I take FuddyDuddy into the hospital to get his second epidural today. Hopefully this will help his back some more and make him feel better before we go to Ohio next week. We shall see. Keep your fingers crossed for him.

In other news... we watched an HBO Sports special last night on the Ohio State - Michigan Rivalry - it was SOOOOoooo good! Really, that was just a good show - you need to check it out. I am so psyched up for the game this weekend - really, I can't even tell you! It will be a great game, as always.

It's that time again...

This saturday at 12 pm ET. Should be a good game, as always - anything can happen... I'll be watching!
