Stewart-Glenwood Championship Ring

This is a video that I took this past Friday night as Stewart and his teammates on the varsity baseball team got their State Championship rings for the THIRD year in a row.  Stew got his third ring on the varsity team, which to me is a big deal being he's just now a Junior...SO proud of him and the good ball player that he is...I pray for him that his pitching just gets better and better :) 

I am waiting for the day that he doesn't mind me taking pics or videos of him...couldn't get him to do anything but smile at the video!

ALWAYS Try It On!

You would think I would know better by now...One of my absolute favorite clothing stores, The Blue Door, is linked in really well to Facebook where you can always keep track of the latest things in stock...Bad news for this girlie!  I go online or call in and purchase things b/c I'm just lazy like that and don't want to drive across town, plus their stuff is so super cute it sells out so fast! 

Any-who...Lo and behold, I but a cute crimson maxi dress (b/c yes, hubby roots for Georgia, but I am RTR @ heart!)...The dress is sooooooo pretty, but w/ my caboose, it just clings too tightly for me! :(  I know those girlies probably hate me by now, b/c all I do is return and get store credits non-stop b/c I never try stuff on...Lesson to be learned, don't shop online like me if stuff fits funny on you! :)

So sad to have to take back such a gorgie dress! :(  Was hoping to take to SSI w/ me next weekend...Here is hoping all is safe w/ Hurricane Irene...The in-laws will be right down there at the beach house when the Hurricane makes landfall! :/

Here is a pic from last year...Can't wait for quality family time!!!

This was on the casino boat w/ a few family members (l-r - Philip, Me, Alan, Meredith, and Papa Phil)

Different is Good

In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.

-Coco Chanel

I try to remember sometimes that it's okay to be different, and I hope younger people like my brother and some of his friends remember that too...it's being different that makes us all so special...I have needed to remember that and the face that I am strong, smart, and can master this whole Masters Program thing.  The classes have been daunting this week, but I know I can do this, I can do this, I can do this!!! :)

Happy Sunday!

Otis the Skydiving Pug

How funny is this video?!  Otis the Pug took his 64th jump in this video...We have two pugs, and I can't picture Porter or Priscilla skydiving...they wouldn't step near the plane! :)

Sunday Lun-Din

We have started a family thing with my family on Sunday's ....we eat lunch, dinner, or a sort of lun-din between lunch and dinner.  Today was one of those days...It was so yummy!  I forget how grown up my brother has gotten until I walked in an saw him at the counter helping mom cook...he's so tall and grown up now, and I am so very proud to be his big sister!  Just had to be mushy for a second...he doesn't read this, and would be mortified if he did! :)

Burgers, homemade fries, pasta salad, chips, and blueberry cookies washed down with tea...too yummy! :)

Miss Priscilla - on her way to Sunday lunch where she got her very own hamburger :)

Happy Sunday!!!

The Beau

We took a quick weekend trip to the Beau in Biloxi for the Mr's 35th birthday...we had such a fun time like we usually always do there...even though we did get kicked out of our cabana early one day due to severe weather conditions :(

We played slot machines and a new game that the Mr. loves called "Blackjack Switch"...such fun!

We ate too much yummy food, slept late, and enjoyed time with family...

Hoping we get a few more quick weekend trips in before the year is out...for some reason my favorite trips are during the fall/winter when football season is in full swing and I can accessorize with cute coats, pashminas, etc! :)

I didn't get a ton of pics, but did manage to snap a few at dinners...

 one of the most beautiful rooms I have ever eaten in...pic doesn't do it justice!

 Myself and Meredith in the red room...

 Alan and Meredith at Stalla...

 Philip and I at Stalla...

HUGE oil vat in the middle of Stalla with faucets that they used to get oil for all of the tables...

TMJ

I started getting really severe pain in my jaw area on the left side last Friday night...I thought I was getting an ear infection and just didn't think too much of it due to prior issues w/ my ears....Oh no...I now have TMJ. 

I don't know much about TMJ, but I guess I have some research to do, because as of right now I am not a happy girl..I have a sore mouth and can hardly chew anything.  Apparently I have been stressed, and have inadvertently been clenching and grinding my teeth.  Not a happy girl...I have a dentist appointment that I made stat just as soon as I heard TMJ come out of the docs mouth this morning...now if only my ear will unclog from the water pick they used to irrigate it...Once again, not a happy girl after my doctors visit! :(

Praying for good news and quick pain relief before the hubby's bday trip this weekend!
