Snow Day! Let's Play!

The high for today is 34 and we are holding steady at 32 right now in Gantt, Alabama. Go ahead, assume the time is telling you lies because I'm up and at em' with nothing mandatory to do today... Well, it's not! It is 9:45 and I've been awake SEVERAL hours. Give credit when credit is due. Thank-you, thank-you very much! I have to say, it's not too shabby for Alabammy! The local tv channel in Andalusia is one of the things cracking me up right now.... Ziggy is the other! Channel 14 says "If you are not experienced in driving in the snow, stay off the road because it will save you a hell alot of money!" On the other hand was Ziggy, remember? Well, she can't decide if she likes the snow. This morning I was a bit scared that she was going to have no interest. She got all nervous. Don't ask me how I know she was, just TRUST me on that one! But as of right now she keeps prancing around outside in it (showing that she is a true girl because I mean PRANCIN') and coming to me like the sweetest little child showing her mother (who is a very well fit mother might I add) the snow on her nose. Talk about adorable. Ummmm, yea. I'd say so! Okay I'm going to step back out into that white confetti party! I mean, who turns down beautiful white confetti falling from the SKY! Not this girl. Yet, I'm sure I'll have more bloggity blog action later this afternoon! It IS nice to have so much day ahead of you rather than wasting it because you accidentally hit snooze the max amount of times before your alarm just quits going off in spite of your non-intended lazyness.

A case of the Monday blues.....

"Come Monday, It'll be all right.
Come Monday, I'll be holding you tight."


One thing I've come to realize......

Every day I'm blessed with isn't my day to conquer the world. There are plenty of days I am given that particular opportunity and plenty of days I'm just supposed to appreciate being alive and well. I like the thought of living a limitless and exotic lifestyle. It's some part of me I think I have always had and always will have, too.

I hope everyone is having a marvelous Monday! =)
love,

I stole the town mayor card from YOU last night, Mr. Cata. Ahh HA! In yo face! David and I went with his parents to Buck Board for dinner last night and had a yummy meal. I ran into Amy Miller (a sweet sweet pledge sister of mine) and her husband. Seeing her kind hearted self made me so happy.... it has been several years since we have seen each other. I've missed her! Also, I saw Miss Krista's smiling face and found out she is expecting! AND lives less than a mile from David. Score! I get to see her lots more now! She even stopped by this afternoon before she went into work. Gah, I've missed her too! So anyway, needless to say.... Mallory got the Mayor crown last night rather than Daivd. Write that down. =)

grandparents you are special yes you are.

The road to Memo and Grandad's house is never too long.... A much needed (and way overdue) visit with my grandparents completed my Thursday night this past week. It's such a peaceful feeling when I hit their dirt road. I think it is more the anticipation I have about the time I'm going to spend with them rather than approaching the dirt and saying farewell to the gravel. The love I share with them has a special place in my heart and always will.

Now I just need to head on down to Goshen to love on my sweet Meme. That is a much overdue visit as well...... If my seminar (you know the one I thought was last Sunday, HA! Well.... it's THIS Sunday. Imagine that, Mal got mixed up!) wasn't tomorrow I would make that happen then. I am thinking about planning it sometime during the week!

COBY.

Dear Coby,

I know I get on your nerves when we play together but I do want you to know that I hope you get better soon. I got you a little treat and hope you enjoy it. When your eye gets better, can we have another play date? I'll try my hardest to be in control of spontaneous ways. Anyways, paws to da wall- I love you, man!

xoxo,

Ziggy

TGIF!

This Friday everyone needs to wear their shoes on the wrong feet... at least for 22 minutes anyway. If you never have- YOU SHOULD. It makes you appreciate the times you put them on the right feet. But at the same time, it makes you wonder .... (speaking for myself here) Are you the only human that puts your shoes on the wrong feet, at the age 24, and walks in the gas station just to try it out the wrong way?"

Rain, rain....go away! Mallory and Ziggy want (NEED) to go outside to play! Watching the Food Network makes me insane. (and hungry) I want to learn how to cook, I feel. While I'm working up my appetite and desire to be a "cookin' mama" Ziggy is working on chewing a single piece of confetti up with her crooked teeth. And yes, I'd say showing a bit of her ignorance in the process. Gosh, I still love her though. There are just some things in life that she doesn't get. (jumping, biting, digging....ect.) Ziggy does have a 1st birthday celebration coming up though! Mama's got to get on the planning.... I got her the cutest little happy birthday bone/cookie from a precious dog boutique in West Palm called the Woof Gang Bakery. I could have shared with them many hours of my precious time and many dollars from my wallet.....If only we had several more days left in that town! Okay, Ziggy is napping so I'm going to take a quick shower and then maybe take her for a ride....or if it quits raining, A WALK!

Have a freaky-deaky Friday, pals.

attention.

I made up a game today.

(instructions in your inbox)

Only one person in the world other than myself knows the rules and regulations.

It's going to be played every day from here on out in my life until it's over. (until my life's over not the game...because the game is never ending.)

Official starting date of this game is 02-03-10.

READY.. SET.. GO!

Happy February!

Sweet Jay-Lee helped me put the Valentine's Day flag out in the yard yesterday. It put me in a lovey dovey mood or something I feel. I caught myself seeing stars... I mean hearts all day... and red.. and pink.... and ughhhh wanting those fun conversation hearts to munch on. I'm sure you would already anticipate this coming but - confetti. Heart shaped. Ahhhh, where to find?! I need that in my life.

At the parentals....

I walk in and my Daddy has the song "in the year 2525" by Zager & Evans playing (at a volume that's my favorite....fairly loud) while he is strumming softly on his guitar made (well, rebuilt I think) and signed by Denny Zager himself. And the nice little finishing touch I have for you peeps- My Daddy's guitar pick was one he recently ordered made out of a quarter. The quarter was from 1956.... That was the year the wonderful man I call my Father was born.







My lovely Mother hasn't made it home from Jean's Flowers. She puts some talent she has to use with arrangements and such.... It gets somewhat crazy up there during this month if I do recall.... Valentine's Day maybe??! She'll be strolling in before I leave hopefully.... If not she missed a visit from the coolest daughter!


i love the parentals very very much.
love,
