Our Football Players Don't Kill People

But they do get tased. Terrance Toliver, a starting Receiver for LSU, got in a fight Saturday night in the parking lot of a bar. He was cited for "disturbing the peace by fistic encounter; disturbing the peace by public intoxication and resisting an officer”. I've never heard the term "fistic encounter". Interesting. Then all the media outlets reported that he “refused to comply with officers’ commands and was tased.” I have questions. First of all, what exactly do you have to do to get tased? What commands didn't he comply with? Also, he was not arrested. He was only "cited". Please, please tell me how you manage to get tased but not arrested. Seems to me they should go hand in hand.

In more disturbing news, Scott Fujita is no longer a Saint. I'm glad I didn't buy that jersey. He's a Cleveland Brown now. They have awful uniforms. That's why I don't like professional sports as much as college. Your team becomes great, you start picking favorites, they win the Super Bowl & then they go & sign with someone else. I hate to see him leave. The Saints were a nice, non thug team. They didn't kill people or even get arrested. Hopefully, they won't replace him with a big loser thug.

Oh & before I go, Lil Wayne did go to jail today.

Toodles!

Bad Looking Out

This morning I went to Babies R Us to by a Wii. They were advertising in their sale paper that when you buy the Wii you get either a case or a charger thing free. A $40 value. Being that everywhere I looked has been sold out I called them before I went over there. They told me they had 2 & would hold one if I was coming today. Off I went. The girls at the service desk gave me a look when I told them why I was there. Then they asked me "we have some?" Um yeh. I don't work there or anything but yes you have 2. Off she goes to wherever & after a few minutes she came back with it. Of course when I ask about the free accessory she acts like she has no clue what I'm talking about. I had my sale paper though. Off she goes again only to come back & tell me that they don't sell the accessories & that I can go to Toys R Us when they get some in & return it & re-buy it to get the free thing. Fine whatever. Off I go to Toys R Us. I know this is a lot of work but it's $40 & it's right across the street. Lucky for me they had the accessory & didn't give me any problems & now I have my charger.

Back to Babies R Us, when I was paying the cashier asked if I wanted to join their reward program, "it's free". Isn't that nice? In the last 4 yrs. I've spent a small fortune at this store because everyone I know has had a baby & this is the FIRST time anyone ever mentioned the rewards program. Apparently, they send you coupons & for every $150 you spend you get a coupon. So sign up if you haven't.

After I left Toys R Us I went to Baum's Bakery. There was an article in this mornings paper about their black & gold fleur de lis king cakes. I thought that would be the perfect thing to bring to the Super Bowl Party we're going to. I get there & they don't have any. They have about a million regular king cakes all over the place. It seems like it would've been a better idea to have a bunch of Saints king cakes made up being that it is Super Bowl weekend & you're going to have an article in the paper. Did I mention that the sign outside said "We have Saints king cakes!"?? However, if I want to come back after 3:00 they'll have some. Sorry, no thanks. Bad looking out I tell ya.

I went to Mass this afternoon. The closing hymn was "When The Saints Go Marching In". I've NEVER heard so much singing. As our Priest left the altar he threw in a "Who Dat"!!! It was pretty awesome!

Speaking of the Saints, it's been more than 24 hours since I've heard "Get Crunk". What's up with that???

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

Oh Bravo How I Love Thee!!!

I stopped on my way home from work today & got my nails done. Such a nice way to start the weekend. I really like the place I've been going. The little guy that owns the place is very nice. Their signs also make me laugh. I swear every time I go there's a new sign. First it was "We open Sunday Saturday", written exactly like that. Then there was "We're Not Accept Check". Today, there was an easel outside the door with a sign that said "WARNING!!!!!! Coming up Valentine's Day. We open Valentine's Day". I don't think they really understand that Valentine's Day is a gift giving opportunity but not so much having to have your nails done on that day! We got back into our regular routine & we went to dinner at La Caretta. It was really good! I haven't figured out what I'll be doing tomorrow aside from cleaning house.

You're probably wondering about the title. Well, while I was getting my nails done the TV was on CNN & I read at the bottom of the screen that Alice Horton from Days of Our Lives died. On our way to eat I was looking at TMZ on my phone to see how old Alice was. She was 95 & she was on the show as late as 2007. WOW! Anyway, on TMZ was the story about Charlie Sheen's stolen car being found at the bottom of a cliff & there was another story about another car that was stolen & found in a cliff as well. The Bentley was owned by Paris Hilton's aunt & in the article it said that she's a finalist for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. OMG OMG!!! SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! I didn't know a thing about it. I didn't even know Bravo was talking about a Beverly Hills show. I just happen to love, love, love Real Housewives of Orange County. Then of course there was New York. It's good. Then Atlanta, which is just completely ghetto. Then New Jersey which I liked except I keep expecting someone to end up in a trunk or on the bottom of the river. OC is definitely my fave but I have a feeling that it will move to second place once Beverly Hills comes out. I can't really explain the greatness of these shows. I can't imagine having the money they have & I just love seeing how they live. Not to mention I love to see where they live & how they decorate. I know it's the epitome of mindless TV but that's part of the greatness!! I did a little research & found this

I just cannot wait!!!!

In less that 48 hours we'll know whether the Saints won the Superbowl. It's all very exciting!!!!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

Who Dat Part Deux

It has been brought to my attention by Lydia that perhaps the reason Shockey's hair is so disgusting is because he's decided not to wash it until he wins a Superbowl. This thought never crossed my mind. Mainly because I don't think that's the case but let's go with it. If that is in fact his intention I will give him a break until after Sunday. BUT if the Saints win Sunday, I expect to see a clean head on Monday in all the interviews & pictures. After all, you can't go to do Disney World dirty.

On another hair note, there was a picture of Remi Ayodele, defensive tackle for the Saints, in the paper today. It was a small picture so I found this one on the internets so you'd get the full effect.


In the paper it says that his hair resembles the top of a Cockatoo's head. Definitely not the first thing I thought of but I can see the comparison. Anyway, when I read this quote it made me laugh. "I call it a Mohawk, but down here it's a frohawk because of the weather," Remi says with a frown. "It's killing me because I can't get it right. It's kind of smushed down because of the humidity. But what can you do, there's no time to see a stylist." Awww, so many comments about his comments. First off, he's talking about his hair being a mess in Miami? Umm, dude, you live in New Orleans like half the year. I'm pretty sure you should be used to the humidity by now. Secondly, he can't get it right? Seriously? It's a mo/frohawk. What's to get right? Thirdly, he has a stylist to do a mo/fro?? I would think anybody could do that, maybe even Shockey. Lastly, I am glad that he realizes there's no time for a Stylist. We want them concentrating on the game.

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

Yesterday I had a dentist appt. & when I was finished I went to my mom's. She had Logan. He's so fun! We played & he attacked me numerous times. It seems he loves my iPhone, my sunglasses, my Dr. Pepper & my pearl earrings!!!! That's ok he gave lots of kisses too! I think he's tired of having his picture taken though.


He had actually just woke up from a short nap. I've tried to tell him not to make that face or those creases in his forehead are going to stay & he's going to look like me.

Toodles!

Who Dat!

It's Superbowl week! Normally, this would not be a big deal BUT as you all know, the Saints are in the SUPERBOWL!! This is big time! Even if you're not a Saints fan you have to appreciate this team making it as far as they have. I'm certainly not a die hard. I've been known to say that I'm waiting for the Saints to be the Saints or to do something Saintly. I won't mention how I would've been correct if Garrett Hartley wouldn't have kicked a certain field goal. Anyway, I always want them to win & this state will go crazy if that happens Sunday. This brings me to the reason for today's post. The Saints have arrived in Miami.


I'm happy to see that just because they're all gazillionaires they still have to carry their own luggage.


Oh little Chris Reis, what are you wearing??



It's time to buy a new suit. Really dude, you play in the NFL & you make tons of money even if you're at the league minimum. Please just buy a nice suit!

Then there's this


What can I say? I know I'm going to take a lot of heat for this but people are all over me because I love McConaughey. Just because there's that vicious rumor that he doesn't wear deodorant doesn't meant it's true. However, there isn't a person out there that can argue that this is clean hair. I was under the impression that his hair only looked like this on the field. I thought he just produced a ridiculous amount of sweat that caused his hair to look like that. I had NO IDEA that it ALWAYS looks like this. I mean if you don't wash your hair going to the Superbowl when will you???

Toodles!

Who Dat & Rats!

Yesterday, I needed to go to CVS to pick up a few things so I went on the way to get my hair done. Imagine my surprise when I'm checking out & there's a stack of Zhu Zhu Pets by the register. I don't know much about these except that my friends little boy wants one & they're nowhere to be found except on eBay. Of course hot toy on eBay a week before Christmas = A ridiculous amount of money to get said toy. So I bought one. Allison is very excited about my purchase. Now, I don't understand what all the commotion is about. This thing just looks like a stuffed rat but whatev! So, while I'm sitting with foil all over my head Allison sends a text wanting to know which rat I got. My response is "the orange one", she says "is it Mr. Squiggles?". Ummm, don't know. Seriously, WTH? They have names?? Thankfully, this information is not so important to Allison that she makes me go to my truck with foil in my hair to see. I think she realized if she asked me to do too much the price might go up from $9.99! So then she wants to know if they had accessories. OK, WHAT?? The rats have accessories? I didn't see any of those. Well, then I think about it & realize that my little cousin Brooke may want one. She got one for her birthday & it was the only gift she was interested in. So, a text goes out to her mom Leslie which results in a frantic phone call wanting to know where in the world I am that I'm able to buy the rats. I fill her in & what does she say? Do they have the accessories? Good grief. Once my hair was done I went to the CVS in Baker & got more rats & low & behold they had accessories. There's a carrying case & blanket, a bed & blanket, a car & garage & some sort of twirly ramp. I got all of that. I'm wondering if I could pick a street corner somewhere & sell this stuff out of my truck for a premium?? This is my stash.


After the Zhu Zhu ordeal I went to mama's. She had Logan & he'd just woken up from his nap when I got there. Perfect timing! He's so fun! He thinks his Tante is hilarious!!!!


Last night was our friends Christmas party. They live next door so that was great. No travel time & when you get tired you just walk across the yard & go to bed. They had a DJ that we had a lot of fun with. This is me & Courtney either before or after Brass Monkey!!!

This is Kitzia, Me, Suzy, Courtney & Sheri somewhere between Tricky & Sweet Caroline!!!


I've learned that iPhones take better pictures than Blackberries.
While at the party it was brought to my attention that one of my neighbors who has a little girl (she's an only child) has 2 pet RATS! Why Why Why??? This is completely stressing me out. The kid is like 8. All I can think of is that they're going to get loose. Crawfish & frogs in the pool, armadillo's in the landscaping & raccoons hanging out are one thing but I CANNOT HANDLE RATS!!!! This is just really disturbing to me. I just really have to question the sanity of a person that buys rats for their daughter & good grief, what little girl wants rats as pets???

Today Dean & I had visitors. Allison was coming over to get the Zhu Zhu's. She brought Cael, Amanda & Bode along with her. Cael was intrigued with all of my Christmas decorations. Magic the Elf even made an appearance which was hilarious! I always love to see Cael because this kid LOVES me! I don't know why but he does. When he got out of the car he came running at me like he was going to tackle me & gave me the best hug & a kiss! He's so sweet!!


The boys were in a trance watching Finius something or other on TV.

We're watching the Saints game. They're losing at the moment but it's still very early. I have to say it's kind of nice to watch a game & not have the added stress of worrying about how our fantasy team is doing. I hope they win but I'm still not fully convinced that they aren't going to do something Saintly to blow everything they've accomplished this season. And what's all this "Special Edition of Thursday Night Football"? Why can't they just say "Saturday Night Football"??? It's ridiculous.


Who Dat!!!
