6 Months..... Going on 30

Well Darcy may only be six months old in the womb but that has not stopped her from thinking she is indepedant. In the last week, she has really started kicking , but everytime Audri tries to get my attention so that I can feel it- she stops. I'm really not amused by the whole thing, but Audri seems to be. Soon- she'll be wanting to drive, or date, this is all moving sooooo fast.

animal... bounty hunter

Dog the semi religious, but mostly redneck bounty hunter will probably be canceled for his racist remarks about one of his 40 some-odd kids girlfriends, but don't worry A&E has a replacement lined up. Here is the greatest video of all time.

No, we are not changing the name!

Have you ever seen the movie Fever Pitch? I saw it on TV the other day and I can not even explain how different a "winter husband" is from a "summer husband". That movie hits close to home. I am however, never allowed to watch it if Corey is around because it is all about a raging Red Sox FANATIC. As you may have read previously from my husband he has declared that "winter Corey" is back! Woo Hoo!! And Luckily when the baby is born "summer husband/dad" will not be out yet (just pitchers and catchers will be reporting). I have recently come to realize that where my husband is a YANKEE FANATIC; I feel I am truly a BASEBALL FAN. I enjoy cheering for a certain team, but I am all and all just a fan of the sport because I can still watch the World Series and cheer for the "under dog". Lets face it, if you are the slightest Yankee Fan you pretty much can't stand the Sox.

With all of this said, I am still totally against changing the name of my somewhat...beloved dog ALEX (she licks me constantly) because A-Rod has opted out of his contract with the Yanks.



In 2004 I gave Corey 2 lab puppies for Christmas. He named them JETER and ALEX.



Named after...yes, you guessed it the short stop and 3rd baseman for the Yanks. This is where I am a Baseball fan and Corey is a Raging FANATIC. He INSISTS that we change ALEX's name to something else. We have had these dogs for 3 years...we are not changing any animals name!

overall a success.

we were not invited to any parties for helloween, not that we care (except all the tears) but oh well. i got my stiches out today and my mouth is healing well, which is a good thing. i did blow $20 on candy for 4 kids that stopped by to trick or treat us. here is the best part of the night- i found my new favorite website. http://www.pageweb.com/topdawg/ not only are the puppies beautiful but the music makes it.

Winter Corey

Baseball season is over, and A-Rod is Benedict Arnold so it is offically time for Winter Corey. That means more attention to other things like music and watching movies (of course when I am not spending time my wife). So the weather has been wonderful in south mississippi and I have missed out on it, Why you ask. because i had a rebellion in my mouth. tooth number 32 tried to take over tooth 31 and eventually it did, resulting in a surgery with the loss of 2 teeth and a swollen face.
This is of course could not have come at a worse time- i had backstage passes to voodoo fest so that i could meet Billy Corgan and Jeff Tweedy, instead I watch countless hours of HGTV with Audri and held a freezing ice pack to my head for hours on end. then that little town in new england won the world series and i could not distinguish why my head was still hurting from tooth 32 or boston winning a world series....EEEWWGGGH.

BUT NOW THAT THAT IS OVER... ALL IS SWELL.

Cattle Sale

Ok, so the ever so anticipated Cattle Sale was yesterday for our Farm. We have a "family farm" where we raise and breed Black Angus Cattle. We have been doing this for over 5 years and we had our first production sale yesterday. I believe it was a great success thanks to the Lord.

This is our family picture the night before the sale.

An Open Letter to Wal-Mart Shoppers in Gulfport, MS store number 873

I understand your love for shopping at America's largest chain, as I am an American and saving money is very attractive. BUT let's not confuse shopping for a great big place to show off your rap skills (or lack of them). When I walk down the aisles in the future I'd prefer not to have to hear you rapping about whatever it is that you are even saying to begin with. You are white and from Mississippi your tounge will never move any faster- unless there is free buffet somewhere to be had. Second, when you are not rapping, please quit adding SSSSSSS'SSSSS to every word. The store is not WalMarts- there is no such thing as a single Waffle Houses, and just in case we ever get one here it is Target, not Targets. Next, to the lady who invaded my personal space yesterday, YOU ARE SCARY. The next time you have heartburn, keep it to yourself, I promise you that neither I nor my wife or the back of my neck needed to know how bad your heartburn was yesterday as you saddled up next to us at the register. As I tried to sleep last night your memory haunted me. Men, each bathroom is equipped with the proper restroom facilites USE THEM, and from now on I will wear my work boots to the store just incase I need to use the restroom.

Here are some other things you should be hip to.

1. The parking lot is not the stage for a Jerry Springer reenactment.
2. The McDonalds in the WAL-MART uses 130% extra fat.
3. I'm pretty sure that drinking a beer in the check out is illegal- even though you had the integrity to buy the other 5.
4. Items that have been stolen from other stores can not be returned to WAL-MART for cash.

As for WAL-MART employees, SMILE- I know you hate your job, but lighten up and try to be helpful. When I ask for help I am not asking in German- I don't even know how to speak German, so please don't look at me that way. Plus, behind each register you have those incredibly squishy floor mats, and you get to wear pins on your vest, it's like working at Friday's without having to serve food. As for the people with the red vest, you are not the police- you are a customer service manager, when I am returning something with the reciept that means I bought it there and when I got home better judgement prevailed and I realized I didn't need that item.

My sincere hope is that with lots of practice and constructive critism WAL-MART store number 873 in Gulfport MS can become a happy place. Thank you for your time.
