My new Talent

I went with a few co-workers and discovered I have this new hidden talent. Check it out.. I got home and my husband even ask me where the numbers where..as if I did a paint by number. I couldn't even manage those paint by number paintings as a kid. I had so much fun. You drink a little wine and paint... drink a little more and paint.. this may be my new hobby. Not really as if I have extra time or something HA!. Nice thought but I really did enjoy myself and it even turned out quite nice if I do say so myself.

Turkey Bowl

Every year we have an Annual Turkey Bowl and it is so much fun BUT this year we got our very own team in the Annual Turkey Bowl!! and boy did we come out with a BANG... loud and proud, I say!! We did a WHOLE lot of smack talkin. We told our bosses they were going to be shakin in their boots we didn't think ours were going to be blown off our feet... now we know where they hang out during the day when they are supposed to be in meetings. :0) We had color and the gobble gobble walk down pat so no matter what they say we won the spirit award. We will get em next year!

For the record we look pretty good holding the trophy too... I mean we could say WINNER WINNER TURKEY DINNER!! it is all in the photo ! It was a great day and loads of laughs... these girls are for sure a hoot... I can't wait I am gonna start practicing now heck I may join a league and get my own ball too :0)

An Aggie for a Day

So every year it is the Aggies vs Longhorns on Thanksgiving night. It is a Texas thang for you Tennessee peeps reading. So this year I decided to go for the Aggies since we already knew who the winner was.. hehe. Our friends had a get together for the big and little peeps and we had so much fun...

Hey they have had such a bad season and loosing all their games..they should be used to it by now right?? Either way it was a great party and a wonderful Thanksgiving with a great group of friends!

150% customer service

These days customer service is all but gone out the door. So if and when I ever get good customer service I am sure to tell the world about it. So here is my screaming from the roof top about this one. I have had a Pandora bracelet for quite some time now and have loved it since day one. Don't get me wrong it is expensive to add to it. Each and every charm means something to me and every single time I look at my wrist I smile at each charm I have and that is enough for me. The past almost year I haven't wore mine because the bracelet has stretched because of the weight of the charms and was just irritating. Then I took it to the mall to find out the store I normally went to quit selling them.. Well that did it. NOW WHAT!!
Only to find out randomly over a lunch date that guess what?? If they still stock what you have they will trade it no matter how long you have had it. WOW really.. and now they have a Pandora store that has everything not just a select few pieces to choose from. OK now we are in business. so I went over to the store to make sure it was all true.. and the women in there were so sweet they traded out my bracelet cleaned all my charms with a smile. It was the best experience ever not to mention it is a GREAT piece of jewelry and makes it easy for your friends and family to shop for ya. Makes ya wonder why more businesses don't follow in those footsteps??

Rose Colored Glasses

I like to call these my mommy glasses.. I went out to eat with my family last weekend and had what they call a Ahh-Haa moment. I think because I was single for so long I became good at what I call cross table entertainment. So basically this means any table around mine I can radar in on the conversation and hear almost every word and still look at my husband and act interested in what he is talking about and interrupt him in mid sentence and say "did you hear that" ..is she kidden?"

Before dinner we had a brief wait and a few girls in their 20's looked as though they had gathered for happy hour drinks were giggling and carrying on ...one continued to carry on about how her boyfriend put butter on everything..even her bread.. I mean she said it 30 times. Then the conversation carried on to Levi jeans how it was a disgrace to wear them. Really? ummm So we sat still waiting to be called for our seat looking thru my mommy glasses as an older couple stood across the room smiling at our kids and as I sit drinking a beer out of a fish bowl thinking "god if they only knew the week I have had!!"..HELL surely they have kids she has been thru it she prolly has mommy glasses broken, twisted,& shoved somewhere in a drawer I am sure she KNOWS.. how damn hard it is to hold it all together!! Fu*K who cares if I wear Levis or if I have butter on my bread.. or if the older couple thinks I am of the devil for drinking a damn beer.. I DONT CARE.. I birthed these two damn kids I wear my own rose colored glasses and drink my beer with pride damit.. and listen to these conversations and giggle.

Then while we are sitting on the bench this lady leans over to ask how old my little is I say oh 21 months she says oh really mine is 19 months.. I am looking around like really cause I see no kid.. look up and he is clear across the room with his hand stuck up the bubble gum machine.. kinda funny cause as the night went on he was the kid that ended up at the back of the restaurant by us no parent in site for over 15 minutes.. his parents were somewhat (WHole LoTTA) over weight and stood up at the front and waited on him just to come to the front.. REAllY?? ok so the ROse on my glasses got a little red I was having to explain to my kids how that wasn't the right thing to be doing.. My oldest thought a monster was going to take him home.. umm yeah ok might be better for us all at this point honey!! yeah that was interesting conversation.. kinda messed up my cross table entertainment for a minute.. cause get this...

Ginzel "little man syndrome" and hottie hot sat down beside us not sure why she went on a date with this dude BUT she did.. my hubby knew this one was so over.. so just of the story went like this he had been married for super short time she was drilling him about why he got divorced he had no good answer imagine that.. he was trying to pump her full of Mexican martinis.. it was just so typical.. of course so funny I had mommy glasses on having flash backs and shaking my head... I rested at ease when she was flirting with my oldest. She then turned kinda for my approval and said I have a one year old at home.. ahh yeah ok well maybe just maybe she is safe not to fall for J-Hole across the table. One would hope!! So funny how you see things so different makes me wonder for real how my parents really kept their mouth shut and didn't say more than they did all those years. hummm. Anyway, I worked hard very hard to get these glasses and wouldn't trade em for the world.. just amazes me how different the world looks thru these things!! I guess once we each put them on we never really get to take them back off.. do we?? Oh and did I mention the fact how my husband cant stand that I can over hear all of this conversation and still keep up with his and get on to my 2 kids too...call it being a mommy!!
