R.O.T. Tankini

We have two season's in Georgia, winter and summer...this weekend it was in the mid to upper eighty's, so I thought I would do something very relaxing and sit by our pool today...I got all jacked up on Zyrtec and was ready to put on my bathing suit, standing in a darken closet half naked, I grabbed the first one I could find....looked good enough....I tried in vain to get the small about of spandex over my chest, but I am sure I ended up tearing my rotators cuff instead....Now, getting this off was much more of a challenge( I have seen my daddy skin squirrels quicker) When my ordeal was over I stood stunned and exhausted in my closet, I was sure this was a practical joke played by one of my niece's...Surely I HAVEN'T GAINED THIS MUCH WEIGHT since last summer.......Either way I spent my quiet relaxing day contemplating if I should call Jenny Craig or do the Master Cleanse for the rest of the spring...One thing I do know, is that little piece of black spandex will NEVER,EVER, EVER bother me again....It now resides in the bottom of the trash can....far,far away..................

Old South Beauty

This is the home of my sister-in-law and her husband, it was built in 1840 and was originally on what used to be the original site of Emory University....The house was supposed to be demolished and then was saved...........It's had several owners over the years, but they bought it and put a lot of love, time and money into it...Now every room looks like it should have in the 1840's...except with electricity and running water......down to the furniture and paintings....it's beautiful.......Scarlett herself couldn't have enjoyed a more beautiful home........We celebrated my mother-in-law's eighty first birthday there this weekend...What a beautiful place for a family gathering.....

Southern Weather

Spring Time! The smell of flowers blooming......fresh cut grass....going barefoot...



And also, pollen that hovers in the trillions....and tornado watches EVERY OTHER DAY.......



We had a storm this evening that left my porch and yard looking like this......



I love my basement in the spring........

What a difference a week makes......

Last Monday I posted a picture of the baby birds looking helpless...Today, one week later, they look like this...The nest is so full they move around together....Like little old people shuffling...They take turns sitting on top...usually two at a time....the ones on the bottom suffer a little........I know they will be gone soon, but I have enjoyed watching them.........

Baby Bird Update

All Five babies survived the cold weather we had and are growing strong...and pooping everywhere....they are keeping their mama busy trying to feed them , and I am pretty sure they have run her out of the nest because I don't know where she would fit....These started out looking like caterpillar's and now they are starting to squeak a little....every time we step near them about five heads pop up with their mouths open...sweet and adorable , but my door step is looking a little messy.......

All About The Easter Accessories

Even as a little hillbilly girl I had a purse fetish...."Gotta love my over size patent leather bag....... Even at three I had style and class.......and one BIG PURSE..........Happy Easter Every One

A new adventure

For those of you that have prayed or were curious about my job status, I thought I would let you know that I start a new job on Monday....One of the hospitals in our system offered me a job working in the Emergency Room.....Now, this is pretty exciting and intimidating for me, I have worked so long in the OR and only worked PRN in the ER...both places are a challenge, and I am not sure if I am young enough to learn new tricks...I am most defiantly a trauma junkie, but things ( and people ) can get a little scary the later the shift gets....I have been working on a new motto for myself, here is the first one: Helping save lives until 6:45, it's catchy.
But I am afraid mine will be closer to this one: ER Angie...Dying slowly, one hour at a time.....These are twelve hour shifts........
I will keep you posted if I'm able.......

There Here!!!

Please welcome our newest additions...... We come home today to find these two little fellas still half way in their little eggs...Two down, Three more to go...

True Story

My husband is as romantic as a paper weight...sad but true...but occasionally he has his moments, this weekend was one of them...he thought it would be great to do something nice since we both had been under so much stress lately....We had already been downtown twice in one month and it wasn't our anniversary, so what now......He was taking me to the mountains for the weekend........WOW!....I TOLD YOU HE HAD HIS MOMENTS.....We live just a few hours from the Great Smokey Mountains, so a little weekend away sounded perfect.... The closer we got to the Smokies the more advertisements there were for the outlet malls....Now, I love a good outlet mall. but what got us was the Big Easter Sales being advertised.......Sounds Good So Far.....Only these were at the Adult Outlet Stores.....Not sure about you, but exactly how does fish nets and massage oils celebrate the risen saviour.......The sign at one store read....Shop early for Easter avoid the rush.........WHERE DO THESES PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH.....And what are they wearing.....I, will admit, I have been in one ore two of these stores in my past and I am here to tell you, they don't sell dresses or pant suits............you can't even buy jelly beans..............
Seriously, Is this what Easter really means to some people.........
