retro week

This is retro photo week on facebook. Lots of friends have posted pictures of themselves, along with others on FB. I must say these pictures take me back to the good ole days of big hair and rotten fashion, both of which I participated. I don't know that I have the guts to put all my fashion fauxs on here, but I do have the guts to put up a few of Clyde's adorable pictures.

The one below is of Clyde when he lived in Myrtle Beach as a young fella. To keep him out of this pool, his parents told him that there were sharks in it. Needless to say, that he didn't go into the pool. Check out his entire body language...scared. to. death.
Clyde's cousin Riah posted this one on FB, to which I had to snag. Here Clyde is with Bam and a few of his cousins; Riah, Billy, and Blue.

The baptism photo. Check out how adorable Clyde is with the nice mustache of his Dad. tee hee!!

This happens to be one of my favorite pictures of my sweetheart. He is playing football in plaid pants. That's right folks...plaid pants. Hello 70's! This picture still haunts Clyde to this very day. He even wrote a paper on it in one of his literature classes @ UNC-G.

7lbs. 15oz.

Here is my new neice, C. Born today, weighing in @ 7lbs. 15 oz. How sweet! She is going home to one big sister and 3 big brothers. C is going be so loved! Congrats to my brother G & family!!

are you for real?

I have never been a Leno fan. ever. I soley stick to being a Letterman gal, so when it was announced that Leno was semi-retiring, I was pleased. I was also thrilled for Conan O'Brien to take Leno's spot. He is funnier than Leno. Let's face it I rarely stay up that late, and if I do manage to, and if I want to watch T.V., it had better be worthwile. Leno was out for me, for entertainment. So, for the past seven months, Leno has been on @ 8:30pm, and O'Brien @ 11:35pm. All was well in the brown house. I think Leno is such a baby for wanting his original showtime back. Conan, you have the support of the Wardlings.

sir??

Today, when Penny and I were leaving the gym, the gym clerk, said to me, "have a good day, sir." Sir? I looked like a sir?! I even said, "sir?" out loud. Within a few more steps, he sincerely apologized and tried to explain that he was on the phone to a man and was checking a man into the gym...yadda yadda. It got me thinking to whether or not I looked like a man. Na...there's no way I looked like a man. I had my hair in a little pony tail with a cute little headband on...not to mention all the girly workout clothes oh and I have boobs. Ok- whatever...

Today on my way to the bank, I saw this lady infront of me, in her red chevrolet, roll down her car window and hawk a loogey out of it. I was grossed out and yet surprisingly amazed, at how far that thing flew. Then again, maybe she was a he...people can't tell these days. oy!

second breakfast

In the film, Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring, there is a scene where Merry is talking to Pippin, about whether Aragorn knows about second breakfast. Merry is speaking in a worried tone. Hobbits of course love to eat. Since our school-aged Wardlings have been back to school, Penny has been asking for a second breakfast. She'll eat whatever we are eating for breakfast and then within an hour, she'll want more food. She always asks to eat @ chick-fil-a on the way home from speech. It isn't to play either because she is terrified of the chick-fil-a cow. She is hungry. Every once in a while, I'll stop to get her something and she gobbles it up like a piranha. Otherwise, she will eat a complete second breakfast of sorts, when we get home. (Her new favorite food is honey/butter bread.) Now, after her nap, she will eat a hearty lunch. Plus a snack when our male wardlings arrive home from school. She is just a hobbit wanting second breakfasts. Oh to have a fast metabolism.
