Crime and Punishment

As I have mentioned in an earlier post, we have a musician staying with us and Victor is really no trouble at all, in fact other than our dogs acting like complete idiots every time Victor:

* Walks out of his room

* Comes in the front door

* Coughs

* Blinks his eyes

you would never even know he was there.

Our dogs are perfect when it's just us, but add someone they don't know and they are on constant alert and have suspicions that the new person is an informant for Bin Laden. They bark and jump off of the bed, us, etc. You get the picture.

And I have to admit, I am terrible at disciplining them at everything. I don't do to much when they jump off the bed barking like mad, or when the drink out of the toilet, or when they won't move from a spot I would like to sit. The Hubby gets so annoyed at me because together we aren't a united front. But I ask you...could you discipline this little cutie?

I'm in Bitches!

Today is shaping up to be a good day...Dear sweet Hadley Hartz confirmed me as a friend on FB. My week is now complete and it's only Thursday! ROCK and ROLL.


Also...not to sound like a complete stalker...but HH and I have the same bracelet....I am taking a shot of mine tonight to post...this was fate....

Southern Ohio Belle- Updation

Miss Hadley has still not accepted me as a friend. Now I realize per the last episode she was going to quit dating men with no future and focus on her career, but COME ON...Add me already. I really think that the likelihood of her reading my stalking blog is probably very little, so I am not blaming the blog as of yet. But it may come to it.

On other Southern Belles news, I was doing some googling today and discovered that Shea's ex-finance Jeff is now romantically linked to Katie King who was the woman Hadley did some campaigning on the show for...weird....

Yes...I am concerned about my fascination with this show and No...I don't know what I am going to do about it....

Dear M&M Cookies...

Dear M&M cookies and Diet Coke...why can't I quit you in the morning....what makes me crave you at 9:45 every day...

Sex and Santa

This past weekend I took a road trip with my aunt, grandmother and two cousins. Needless to say, I laughed the entire way and had an amazing time. As I was trying to recount the days events to my mother who, was unable to attend, I couldn't really drill down to details that were so funny to explain why I laughed so hard, it was just the whole atmosphere.

There was however one story that was so funny that I wish I could claim it as my own. My cousin Leea, has two boys, one 10 and one 5 roughly. Leea also has a circus of animals at her homestead including large turtles. One day Leea's oldest son, Cannon came upon a male and a female turtle having an intimate moment, let's say...and then Cannon came to Leea for a bit of the birds and the bees lesson. Leea stalling for time, told Cannon to wait till his little brother Aiden was asleep and they would talk about it.

So sure enough when Aiden went down for the count that night, Cannon was right at Leea's side wanting to know some dirty details. Leea's approach was a scientific book, much to Cannon's dismay...but they did end up talking a bit and Leea then feared that Cannon would take this highly coveted adult talk to his little brother. So Leea ended she and Cannon's chat with a quick speech about how Cannon didn't need to share all his knowledge with his little brother Aiden.
Leea said, "Like for example Cannon, you don't need to tell Aiden that there isn't a Santa Claus, even though you know that."
In response Cannon wails, "What do you mean there isn't a Santa Claus Mom!!!!"

My favorite part of this story is that the 10 year old wanted to know about sex, but still believed in Santa Claus. Man...I wish I could claim this story as my own...it was just so cute!

*Maybe Cannon can ask Santa for a sex tell all book this Christmas!

Professional in Pink????

Hmmm....I am quite curious, do you think the large amount of pink in my office makes me look more or less professional?

Reservations for One Please!

In Lancaster, Oh where my husband and I have our crib, we have a 2 week festival call uniquely the Lancaster Festival...This festival hosts many different, fun events with the highlight being two weekend concerts under the stars with a relatively well known musician and a full orchestra. Some musicians in the past have included Peter Cetra, Kenny Loggins, Wynonna, Jodie Mecina, and a host of others. This year is no different, we have The Temptations performing on Saturday, July 25th and LeeAnn Womack performing Saturday August 1st.
Needless to say this is a big undertaking for a community the size of Lancaster. One of the ways Lancaster makes it work is by having local families host the orchestra members for two weeks. This year they finally got to us and we are hosting Victor, who plays the cello.

To be honest I am mostly looking forward to the experience, as we will have live music in the house for two weeks. But I do have some reservations and they follow as such:
1.) Do I have to constantly have a bra on when I walk around the house?
2.) I bet this means I cannot fart and burp at my leisure when I get home from work.
3.) Wonder how many times our crazy ass dog Bailey will pee on the floor in Victor's presence?
4.) Victor does not eat red meat, which I completely respect. However, while shopping at the grocery on Sunday for his arrival...I mostly cook red meat meals and chicken...I am going to have to get creative.
5.) I normally am quite the nosey person, does this mean I am finally getting a taste of my own medicine and Victor will go through my stuff....Will I be forced to learn my lesson?

Goodness sake...how with this turn out? And if you really want the honest truth...my biggest concern is number 2 on the list...mainly because my hubby will adjust to this and expect it on a regular basis!!!!

He loves me...he really does love me....

Sally Field really said it right when she said, "You like me, you really like me." If you recall, sometime ago, I wrote about my husband's facial hair and my hatred of it. Well, he walked around with that thing for nearly 4 months....at 2 months I stopped trying to coax him out of it, at 3 months I tried to tell him I wouldn't kiss him with it, and at 4 months I prayed he would come home from Texas without it. NO LUCK...So I did what any self respecting woman would do, I BEGGED...and BEGGED...and BEGGED. And it worked....Nagging Works! Thank you Baby Jesus! The facial hair is gone...And I am the happiest woman/wife ever, he must love me and it only took him 4 months to make a final decision!

Southern Ohio Belle

I believe I have a problem and I am slightly embarrassed. Number one, I am obsessed with Southern Belles: Louisville on Soapnet. If you haven't caught it, the season finale is on Thursday, July 23rd...but it plays on Soapnet all the time. The show is adorable! My BFF turned me on to it and I could watch it all day. It follows the lives of 5 girls/ladies from the Louisville area in life, love, and misc adventures.
But what I am really embarassed with is that I ask my favorite Southern Belle, Hadley Hartz to be my friend on Facebook. I have never done that, but I do equate it to quite possibly stalking. I honestly don't know what got into me, I googled her name (never a good start) and when her FB page came up it asked if I wanted to request her as a friend. Without missing a beat I hit "ask to be friends."
Now I have regret....because I feel like such a loser and will feel even worse if Hadley rejects me, or simply ignores me...totally passive aggressive....
Stay tuned....
