Free Stuff!!

WOO HOOOO!!! I've won a giveaway!! Exciting right? I thought so. I entered Tee's giveaway at Brown Eyed Belle.  I don't normally win things. At least not in my adult life. Back in the day, I did win New Kids On The Block tickets on more than one occasion. Of course, that required me to stay in my room listening to the radio for entire weekends at a time only going to the bathroom & eating during commercials!! Fun times! I love to get mail & what's better than mail?? PACKAGES!! Sooo excited to know that I'll have  one waiting when I get home from San Diego! Tee is from Louisiana too,  has a family of boys that play baseball & she has a GORGEOUS home. Y'all know how much I like to look at houses & see how they're decorated! Hers is fabulous!! Thanks again Tee!

In less than 24 hours Lydia & I will be in San Diego!! How's the packing going you ask? Um, yeh, it's not. Haven't even gotten my suitcase out. We're going out to dinner with friends tomorrow night so I guess I'm going to have to get with it when I get home today. I HATE HATE HATE to pack. I always pack too much & I always feel like I'm forgetting something. I usually make a list which helps with the forgetting, but I haven't even done that. Possibly because I still don't know what to pack so I don't know what to put on a list! Then there's the dilemma of what to put in my carry on in case they lose my luggage. This has never happened but there is a first time for everything.  There's no wood in my office to knock on so everyone cross your fingers!!

Here's your latest McDreamy update. He was running the lakes & at the Oak Villa parks Tuesday night. Yep, I figured that out after the fact as well. I haven't confirmed what he was doing there but I know for a fact he was there. Like I said, no problem finding out where he's been, just where he's going. Ashley Judd is also in the movie with him but NOBODY has seen her. I thought that was kind of weird.

Every morning I listen to Kidd Kraddick on the radio. He's on from 6-10am & I listen just about the whole time. The cast of the show loves Chick fil A. They were talking about the greatness of it this morning & how no matter what time of the day it is the drive thru line is out in the road. How true this is! I went to Target the other day & there's a Chick fil A out front & the drive thru line wrapped around the building & was out in the street (Seigen Ln.). In Baton Rouge if you're just sitting on Seigen Ln. you're taking your life in your hands but I digress. All of the Chick fil A talk was making me hungry. While I was thinking about that Wendy emailed me. She works with me but in a different dept. Her email said "CHICK-FIL-A. Thanks a lot Kidd, now I want that for lunch." HAHAHA!! She was reading my mind so did Chick fil A for lunch. It was greatness as usual!!! A few weeks ago when I went for my free spicy chicken sandwich there was a survey link on my website. If you completed the survey within 2 days they gave you a code for a free sandwich. I'm all over that. So, today lunch was free! Well, I had to pay for the cole slaw & Dr. Pepper. It was a great day for free stuff!

Toodles!

Down In The Count!

In 4 days Lydia & I will be in San Diego. Dean told me that he checked out the weather & the forecast says it will be in the 60's the entire time we're there. Great! Sort of. I'm not complaining about the weather. It will be really nice to get away from the hellish heat we're having here. HOWEVER, I don't know how to pack for that kind of weather. Dean said it will be perfect & he doesn't understand the problem. APPARENTLY, he's forgotten that we live in Louisiana. We don't have perfect weather EVER. How should I know how to pack for it when I don't even know how to dress for it?? It's either cold, freakishly cold or freakishly hot with more humidity than should be allowed. I guess I'll just pack a bunch of stuff that I can layer. I just don't want to exceed the weight limit for luggage & be forced to pay more than I'm already paying to check a bag. With all the new fees, gone are the days of bringing 32 tops on a trip! In my defense it was a trip to Omaha for the College World Series & we didn't know if we'd be there 3 days or 10. Of course being the optimist that I was back then (YES Vicki, we really were that good!!) I was packing for 10 days. It's a good thing because LSU was there the entire time & won the National Championship & I wore 31 tops!!

Update on the McDreamy front. I still haven't seen him. I've got more conflicting information as to where he's living while he's in town. My sources tell me that he either bikes or runs the LSU lakes everyday. No, I haven't been out there. Remember hellish heat? Too much humidity? Yeh, I'm not willing to go out there without a guarantee that I'll see him. Not to mention if I were to see him & get lucky enough to take a picture with him, I'd look horrendous because of the aforementioned heat. Seriously, yesterday I started sweating walking from my door to my truck at 7:00 am. Which is all of about 15 steps! Anyway, after checking out some tweets & doing some stalking detective work, I discovered an hour after that he had lunch at Zoe's Kitchen today. Now, if I could only figure out where he's going before he gets there we'd be in business.

Toodles!

It's Almost Over

I'm so happy that tomorrow is Friday. I'm only working until 12:30 so that's a great thing. I have a few errands to run but other than that I don't have plans. I may do a little shopping. It should be lovely.

Our niece & nephew are in town from Houston. They came swimming Tuesday. I managed to get an action shot of Camille & Dean!

I was surprised at how much they've grown & changed since I saw them last.

Drew looks so old!

Camille's birthday was May 28th. I tried to get a good picture of her but this is the best we could do!! I didn't take a picture of her gift but I got her a cute swimsuit & beach towel with her name monogrammed on it. Dean's Godchild & cousin, Lexie came too.

Isn't she so pretty?? She's growing up. I can remember when she was a little girl & it doesn't seem that long ago.

On the McDreamy front, I found out he was having dinner at Sullivan's again last night. He's also been spotted at Ninfa's. I've heard a rumor as to where he's living while he's here but that hasn't been confirmed yet.

I'm very excited about the Housewives of NY reunion show tonight. These shows are always wild. At some point everyone ends up yelling at everyone else. The NY ladies yell at each other so much during the season I can't imagine what this is going to be like. What's even better? It's coming on at 8:00 so I can watch it live without it interfering with my bedtime. That means I'll be able to discuss with Allison & Wendy tomorrow. YAY!!!

Toodles!

Tuesday....

I've mentioned that Patrick Dempsey is in town. I haven't seen him yet. My neighbor has some friends that did see him in the parking lot at Sullivan's. They took a picture with him & put it on Facebook. It's a great picture.  It brings me to this question, why why why are the 16 yr. olds the ones that actually run into him & get a picture? He's 44 years old. He's old enough to be their dad & he may even be older than their dads! Shouldn't they just stick with Taylor Lautner? He's in town too. I've liked McDreamy since he was in Can't Buy Me Love in 1987! I can see this is going to be a Jessica Simpson ordeal all over again. She was at Albertson's, she was at Walmart, she was at WalkOns, she was at Shucks. Yet the only time I saw her was when I stood out in the cold the day before Thanksgiving to watch her film a scene for The Dukes of Hazzard & when I saw her pulling into the driveway of the house she was staying in. Well, actually, I didn't even see her then because the body guard was driving & the house had a garage. Don't ask how I knew where she was living or what I was doing near the house when she pulled in. (Thanks US Weekly). I have another question for the 16 yr. olds. What are they doing eating at Sullivan's??? I didn't eat there for the first time until I was like 26 & that was for my birthday. For those of you that have inquired about pictures when I track down McDreamy, there's no need to worry.  I will get some!

Here are some pictures of the cute little one from Sunday.

He always goes straight for the cabinets. He loves to bang them. We also discovered yesterday that Logan has a better tan than me. Imagine that.

If anyone was wondering how hot it's been, here you go.

This picture looks like this because I walked out of the cool air conditioned house with my camera & immediately the lens fogged up & I didn't know it & took the picture.  I think it's still a cute picture!

All of the noodles we have have pieces bit out of them. It's the strangest thing but every kid that comes swimming chews on a noodle. SEVERAL times I had to dig pieces of noodle out of Logan's mouth. FYI - his teeth are sharp!!

Anybody watch Real Housewives of New Jersey this week? Danielle is CRAZY NUTS!!! 

Toodles!

Karma's a B!

GEAUX TIGERS!!!! What a game they played last night! It was a little too stressful for me but finally in the bottom of the 11th with 2 outs & 2 strikes they won! What's that mean?? According to Irvine's Coach, Gillepsie, "it was bad karma". Yeh, you know what they say about Karma.  It also means we play UCLA tonight at 8:00. It's going to be a late night. We watched yesterday next door at Cliff & Sheri's & tonight we'll be down the street at Jackie & Dennis'.

After the game we set up for the garage sale. Sheri was having one & invited us to put stuff in it. After all the rain yesterday & the forecast of more today, I was having second thoughts. The thought of getting up at 5:30 surely didn't help matters. I sucked it up & I'm glad I did. I made $170 & got rid of some stuff. Thanks Janice! She showed up & started pointing at stuff saying "I'm getting that"! She bought a couple of watches & when my friend told her that they all work, they just need batteries her response was "OH I don't need batteries, I just wear them"!! Soooo funny!! She went to get the lady she works for because she didn't bring enough money with her. When we helped load her car we also realized that she needed the ladies car because hers was full! Apparently, we weren't her first garage sale of the day! There was a brief moment when I felt a little guilty that I may be contributing to a hoarder but what can you do?

This is Dean on pool duty.

We thought it would be a good idea to have someone in charge of making sure nobody drowned. There was only one close call. Eddie was very interested in the pool & he didn't listen very well. When his mom wasn't trying a purple wig on him, he managed to break an exercise bike. We were happy to see Eddie go. These two had to go inside because they couldn't control themselves & were laughing at how bad he was.

Speaking of karma, I'll remind them of this one day when they have a bad little boy!!!

Not to change the subject but I found out that McDreamy is in town & has been spotted at Whole Foods & Sullivan's! He's here, along with Ashley Judd, filming a movie. I've got people working on finding out where he's staying.  Oh how I would love to take a picture with him.

We're off to watch the game. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

Toodles!
