Don't know why...

Today was the sixth time this video has come across my email and desk. It humbles me since only one of the sources directing me to it have known any of my thoughts/feelings on the subject. So-->I will send it out again into the world still wondering why I have stumbled across it so often. Get a tissue if you watch...

Awesome roll!

OK, understand that now, as a homeowner, my initial thoughts when I saw this sight are alarming even to me! BUT HAVE YOU EVER.....I MEAN REALLY EVER....SEEN A BETTER JOB OF ROLLING A HOUSE THAN THIS????? WOW!!! I know, I know....supposed to be an adult now and not encourage this type of thing....and AS A HOMEOWNER it is horrifying to think you may one day wake up to this and have to face cleaning it up!! YIKES!! Even with all that in mind, I still send out kudos to the spectacle just a few houses down from me this morning! OK--> have to put in a disclaimer here to say that ALL houses in which I participated in the ROLL.....(even though one involved a trip to the hospital..oops)...I ALSO participated in the clean up day!!! That is true!

A Blog-go-round!

I'm still making an attempt at blog upkeep! My house upkeep and newly revised 2-year unpacking plan...not to mention 45+ hour work week, have all contributed to my lack of blogging and phone calling! BUT YA KNOW I'VE GOT MORE BILLS THAN FRIENDS NOW!! *LOL* So my neglected friend, Miltie, continues to "tag" me with memes and blog-go-rounds in hopes that I keep on blogging!!! So I keep on trying to post them for whomever is reading! :) Here goes:

Feel your arteries clogging??

I think we have been eating from the moment we hit Baton Rouge until the moment we exited the state! Can anyone identify THIS pic?? Yes, that is the real thing....CRACKLIN'S! We stopped for boudin and alligator meat on the way back to TX and I couldn't help but get M a taste of his first cracklin!! NOW CHER THAT IS GOOD EATS!

HOME :)

Everyone knows how much I love those folks at the Frog Farm on White Chapel Road in Mississippi, right??!!?? :) I DO MISS THEM TREMENDOUSLY!!! I'll include some Andy pics here since he is STILL cute as a button!! The weekend was full of MUCH talking, laughing, hanging out with the fam, and of course there is Mom's AWESOME cooking!! :)
Andy can't deny his Daddy with that RED head or his Mommy with those beautiful BLUE eyes!! He's going to be a heartbreaker! :) The word on the street is redheads will be extinct by the year 2060 so that makes my little nephew a hot one for sure! :)

Congratulations Amy & Matt!!

Matt and I went home for a beautiful wedding! It was hot but picture perfect in every way! The best part was seeing a dream realized for a really special friend! It was wonderful to see many of our friends from Baton Rouge who we miss dearly. We truly had a terrific time in the Red Stick!

I don't think we realized how much we are missing Louisiana! It was great to be soaking up the purple and gold vibe again! We especially enjoyed the rumors about the "new" Mike that may be unveiled by the first LSU football game...back to the Chimes for a cold beer and some blackened gator...chatting with friends we have not seen nearly enough...and of course REMINISCING days gone by!! :)

How exactly did it get to be August??

OH NO!!!!! Another month is gone!!!! I have heard a murmuring that I should perhaps update my blog!! :D I have been so BUSY!!!! .....unfortunately only at work! :P Thank goodness I have been enjoying the job but it IS getting OLD already to be working 10 to 12 hour days consistently!!!! I have a new respect for all of the folks who do this all the time!! WOW!! I really have moments that I think if I just brought a change of clothes it would be more efficient for me to sleep on one of the mats at work.....I mean we DO have a shower....even a pool for some quick recreation in the middle of the night when the gym is FINALLY free of patients!!! ....BUT ODIE would miss me so I can't do that!! :)

OK...I will make an attempt to fill in a few details of the last month below so read down (starting with 7/12/07) if you'd like to be updated on the mundane events of the McMalwitz's!!! *heehee*

Malwitz sleepover!!

Don't you love a weekend where you can get up a bit after the crack of dawn, brew an awesome pot of coffee and quietly sip its deliciousness while you create a terrific breakfast for the household??

We spent a fun weekend with all the Malwitz Texas transplants! I loved it since I got to cook some yummy goodies for everyone to enjoy! I even convinced my SO to try quiche!! I think he liked it! He likes it! He likes it!

The boys gamed, girls chatted and I even got some boxes unpacked! YAY!! All in all a good time was had!
