This ‘n That. . . And I Know He Di’ennn
It has really been one of those weeks. I’ve been so busy lately, I can’t believe it’s already Friday. So, in light of my busyness and my mind going here there and yonder, I’m giving you guys a good dose of this ‘n that.
First, check out my new button! I'm not sure how to get html text to it yet, but Christina over at Pooh's Corner held a great giveaway and gave me my own button! I heart it! Thanks, Christina!
I’ve really been thinking this week about being a Godly woman, being held accountable by others and holding others accountable. But I’m feeling like there’s a really thin line between holding others accountable and being self righteous or looking like a holier than thou girl. No? I really don’t have my thoughts together on this yet, but I do intend to do some studying and praying about this. Stay tuned for a post of that nature. I believe some of you might be my best resources for what I’m thinking and trying to figure out.
On a much lighter note. . .
I love summer time! I love driving to work and feeling the warmth of the sun through the windows of the car at an early hour. Fresh fruits are the yummiest! I love 8pm and still being able to be outside. I love the sound the crickets make at night. Lightning bugs take me back to my childhood. Ferns. There’s nothing like some good ole’ southern ferns to make a house a home. I love sitting in the sun. Beach time is my ultimate favorite. I love grilling out and having a nice dinner outside with fresh veggies, a glass of wine or a cold corona with lime. Is it just me or is beer better in the summertime?
Many of the blogs I read have been talking about creative ways to entertain the kids during the summer months. My cousin, who I’ve blogged about before, has these cool Family Nights at her house. Where she comes up with the themes, I have no idea. She’s so creative! Last night’s theme was top notch! I encourage you to check it out for ideas and details! The best part to me was that she spent very little on the supplies. Well, that’s a great part. The best part? Great family time making memories they’ll cherish forever! I pray anxiously for the baby they’re to adopt from Korea. What a blessing that awaits!!
Yesterday, I went to lunch with my sister and Ellie. Ellie was a complete ham! She laughed it up and carried on so much! Aunt B gave Ellie her first taste of lemon, and she LOVED it. I’m honestly not sure if it was really the taste of it or the fact that the cold felt good to her teething gums. But she couldn’t get enough of that lemon! As we were waiting to check out, we were standing in line with booths of folks on both sides of us. We were eating at Between the Bread (for you local readers, you know what I’m talking about), and it’s a very popular lunch spot. And crowded. People were all smiling and talking about how cute Ellie is (DUH!!!), and Ellie just hammed it up! She was kicking her chubby little legs, smiling and talking away to everyone. This couple behind us in line who were obviously traveling (thick European accents) were also chatting with us and Ellie.
All was well until the man behind us says, “She’s quite a hussy, isn’t she?”
The World Stopped.
WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?
He said it again! And Again! Jenn and I both had the dumbest looks on our faces. Then his wife chimed in, “Yes, she is a little hussy! We have two hussies at home!”
Can someone please enlighten us dumb southern girls on what in the heck he meant? Because if “hussy” to him is the same as it is for us, I’m going to track down his European self and kick . . . . . don’t mess with Aunt B’s Ellie.
Have a great weekend, everyone!!!

Winner & a GPS Mishap
Thank you all so much for commenting and congratulating me on my 100th blog! The winner of my giveaway is Kristin at These Little Girls of Mine! Hop on over and meet Kristin, and while you're visiting, make sure you check out herprecious new clothing line, SummerSuzette! Kristin, your package is coming soon! Thanks for playing along!
So, we went to Birmingham this weekend for a wedding shower for Tim's brother, Josh and his fiance, Kelli. I would've sworn up and down to you that I had saved the address for the party in our until-this-moment-perfect GPS, so we're leaving the hotel for the party with Tim's parents in our car. Kelli's parents and uncle were following us. We assured them we could get to the party. I mean, for goodness sake, Tim went to grad school in the Ham just a few years ago. And remember, we have our trusty Tom Tom.
While Tim's driving, we are busy raving to his parents about the Tom Tom. Telling them how we used it to find that great italian spot in Asheville, NC, on the fly last December. Oh, and just a couple of weeks ago, remember we used it to get to the other party for Josh and Kelli in Tallahassee? Yep, these things are super handy!
A few minutes later, we're in Hoover, turning into a neighborhood. I do remember thinking, for a fleeting second, "I thought Josh said this couple lived in a new house. These houses don't look new." We continued driving, following Tom Tom. All the while, still raving to Tim's parents about how handy these systems are. They'll take you anywhere you want to go! See how easy this is!!!
We pull up at 551 Twin Creek Drive, and there are festive candles in the windows. But no cars. Where are the people?
Kelli's parents pull up beside us. As my mother-in-law and I are trying to figure out where everyone's cars are, Kelli's parents tell us we're on Turtle Creek Drive. Not Twin Creek Drive!
We are NOT at the right house!!! Not in the right neighborhood! Well, at least we're in Hoover!?!?!
At which point I promptly take back everything I've just said about tom-tom and refuse to believe that stupid computer can get us anywhere.
We back track, thankful for Tim's knowledge of where he is and how to get around (at least a little bit). Josh directs us by phone: "Call me when you get to the car dealership." Then "Call me when you're at the school."
We made it to Twin Creek Drive; nevermind we were a good forty minutes late!?!?! It's apparently too new of a street for our not-so-trusty-anymore Tom Tom. Gee Whiz. Sometimes good ole' fashion directions from someone who knows are the only way to go!
