The Team after receiving their trophy..

After the game with Aunt Kim and the stud himself Garrett...Coach Uncle Stan wasn't able to be found......

.........like father like son......... ...........the final score............. ......the best cheerleaders.....

It was such a good game and I was happy we had the chance to go and cheer the Broncos on....It was so good to see all the family as well but totally not worth the speeding ticket I got on the way home...

..someone turned ONE today...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BOY!!

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to go see my favorite MC of all time and the hottest in the game...Mr. Shawn Carter..aka Jay-Z..aka Hova..aka Jigga Man and it was the BEST concert I've ever been too....he can put on a show! Boy was it crazy, loud, and so sur real. Before Hova took to the stage with the one n only Memphis Bleek we got a clip of J.Cole, Wale and N.E.R.D which had a crazy and wild show as well....

Memphis Bleek and HOVA

Before the concert I took Haley for her first flight to the top of the Space Needle...

Haley had a hard time keeping her shirt on and received a new hair-do. I happend to find a very good lookin man eating an enticing pretzel with CHEESE!

Over all we had a great time, and I'm trying to talk myself out of being a Roc Boy groupie..

Ah someone loves me...lol thanks vonni

It's a tragedy to see and hear of all the floods in Atlanta and its burbs....I was happy to hear from alot of you that you're safe and sound, but living on tuna and without electricity....but real sincere thoughts and prayers go out to my buddy Ely whom doesn't have much of a home to come home too...

This is Post Road..on the outs of Douglasville..(My friend and I used to drive this every other Sunday on our counry cruises to Birmingham,AL)

This is the "Great American Scream Machine" rollercoaster at Six Flags which was 10 minutes away from my old house in Douglasville.

Here's a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNSLOBfEPo8 to a really good video...makes ya realize none of us are promised a tomorrow...

So Fresh N So Cleannn

While in the shower this morning I realized Haley and I have an on going trend...

How many sets of Shampoo and Conditioner do two people need?

Their-They-There

It has come to my attention through the texting/emailing world that alot of you do not know how to use the correct spelling for similar words. It's one of my biggest pet peeves. I am a avid speller and try to correctly spell my words, enunciate and speak proper english. So therefore I am going to take this time out of my busy day and help a few of you with one of thee biggest spelling mistakes. Today alone I have come across three of these mistakes.
THEIR, THEY, and THERE!

THEIR
–pronoun
Who didn't give me all their money?

THEY
–plural pronoun, possessive their or theirs, objective them.
Why can't they all just come?

THERE
–adverb, pronoun, noun, adjective, and interjection
She went over there yesterday.
There she goes again.
Why couldn't I find it there?
There! It's finished.

Okay I hope this helps a few of you to remember....If you still need help-pick up a dictionary!

P.S. ASH-What month is it? haha love you sister

ouch...

If replacing a brand new tailight last week wasn't enough.....Saturday night I returned back to my car that had been parked at a friend of mines house for the night.....to find my window had been busted and a rock sitting between my console and the seat. Oh Boy was I heated, and still am! Who on God's green earth would do this? Was it a little cholo thinking he was going to get my gidgets and gadgets stuck on my windshield but ran once my alarm went off or does someone have hate for me? I can't think of anyone that would be so upset with me that they'd go this far. Or perhaps it was mean't for the one of the other three white G6's with blacked out windows in the area? Maybe the one whom lives a couple doors down from where I was parked? I have no idea but it honestly SUCKS...

You Will Be Missed.....

I guess we all take for granite the love, loyalty, compassion and companionship that comes with a friend like SPUD. He was the type of friend whom was always there; waiting, watching and caring for you and just hoping you'd show the same in return. I regret the last few months I neglected him, acting like I didnt have the time to even pet him after a long day away. To think, thats all he had been waiting for- a familiar face to finally come home! He was old, gray haired and tired but that's not the way he left this life, and I really wish I knew what happened and could of helped....He truely was a great dog and a damn good friend!

Where's Mike Going??

Oh My heavens....sorry but I'm sure alot of you could careless about this but it's honestly something thats been on my mind......Is he ready for the Big Timers again, or did he get his work cut out for him in the pen? There's been alot of controversy over wheather he even should come back or not....I'm all game! Everyone makes mistakes...and he did his time so on to bigger and better things, right?............but the question is WHERE? Green Bay?Baltimore? Washington? Heck I've heard Buffalo is talking a contract but would they really consider taking on both him and T.O. together? If So it would be one heck of a season for the Bills!!! I'm pretty sure he's game for anyone willing to take him in...I guess we'll just have to wait and see....

DUMB laws...

I'm sure glad they arn't enforcing alot of these anymore.....I actually know a few of you who'd be in trouble..including myself!

We Hungry!!

OKAY...so abunch of friends and I decided to kick back at the lake and go boating, swimming and of course have a barbeque....we packed the cooler, towels, sunscreen and everything else thought of to make it a pleasant event....we just forgot ONE thing, the barbeque... yeh! And now after being out there for the entire afternoon- we got HUNGRY! We devoured the chips while on the boat thinking we were going to have some yummy food later. Well think again....We sat on the beach debating on which one of us was going to run to town and get some sandwiches or prehaps even ......yah we were "thinkin Arby's"...but instead we put our heads together and came up with this idea........ We used some napkins out of the truck and gathered sticks along the shore to make a fire.....we were just going to put a piece of meat on the end of a stick and act like we were roasting hot dogs but we found an old grill left behind by god knows who, how long ago...it all worked out and we were able to regain our strength to get knocked off the tube a few more times before going home.......

pOP VS. cOKE VS. sODA

okay so the controversy continues.....I was talking to a friend of mine from Tennessee on the phone earlier today and it went a little something like this:

Me: I'm friggin tired..
Antwone: Why?

Me: I dont know, cause its the afternoon, and its hot...?

Antwone: Okay, did you get any sleep?

Me: Yeh, I think I need a pop.

Antwone: a POP?

Me: Yeh, you know a pop? Like a Mountain Dew?

Antwone: Girl- You Stupid, aint no such thing people be callin pop.

Me: Then whats it called?

Antwone: A Coke!

So of course as you can see- the argument persist......All my life I have said Pop, in my opinion its pop and always will be. The southerners tried influencing me into calling even a pepsi a coke but of course I thought they were crazy and just as dumb as the rest of us think they are. I believe the whole "coke" thing came around when CocaCola opened doors and employeed a quarter of Atlanta's population way back when and have continued to drink only that ever since..... So after taking a quick texting vote I have come to a conclusion: People whom say "Soda" are more sophisticated (so they think), those whom choose "Coke" dont think outside the box...and us "Pop" drinkers are just way too cool..... and as you can tell from this poll, in which I never remember participating in- but I accept the results....it just proves us cool people know what we're talking about..

HEY HEY HEY.....

okay...so this is the beginning of the bloggin world for me..I dont know really how this all came about so just bare with me because this is all really new to me... I decided it would be fun...and a totally different way of expressing my feelings...what I see...what I do...how I think and more or less....

I've got a mind of my own, and alot on my mind....
