Lani is getting so big!! My parents traveled to Lubbock to my brother and his family. According to my Mom she is walking all over the place and "talks" a lot to. I was sad that I didn't get to see her but hope to see her soon!
My mom and I started working on a quilt together this weekend. After some time at the store, my OCD self finally decided on several patterns to make a quilt. We cut out over 500 pieces of material. My dad jokes that we cut all that material just to put it back together again. Here are some pictures of the beginning stages. Oh...and just to add a little embarrassment to the mix...we watched Mamma Mia and sang all the songs.
This picture of my niece pretty much sums up my mood today!
Although after looking at her I can't help but smile. Such a funny little girl.
My mom's birthday was 8/9. Since she was in Kansas with my dad, I went home this weekend to see her...with a surprise!!
Let me start by saying that as a recruiter I am unable to hire certain candidates due to their criminal background. Perhaps the professional sports organizations should adopt these same guidelines.
Well, I read this morning that Michael Vick would be back in the NFL on the Eagles and I have to say it struck a nerve. I have already had someone tell me that there are other convicted criminals with drug charges, domestic abuse etc playing professional sports. Well to that person I said this "Perhaps they should reevaluate their hiring criteria".
I have always had a soft spot in my heart for animals...even animated one. Happy Feet was on last night and I had tears in my eyes for most of the movie.
At this point I don't know what action I will take to protest the reinstatement of Vick but at least this blog helped me get it off my chest.
Ever since I was a little girl I have loved George Strait!! My dad and I used to sing "All my ex's live in Texas" so when I found out Vince got tickets for last nights show I was super excited.
We met some friends at El Patio in Midtown at about 2:00...no Margaritas for me though. Sidenote: anyone reading this that isn't familiar with El Patio they have very strong Margaritas. After a few hours there we headed to the concert.
Julianne Hough was the fist act. I give her a C+. Blake Shelton followed and I was very impressed by his performance. Sugarland was next and they were AMAZING!! They sound great live. This is my second time seeing them and I would definitely pay to see them again.
Then it was time for George. WOW is all I can say. He sounded great and just has the best smile around.
The only negative about the show is that I was on the aisle so I people walking by me all night. Since we were in the lower level, the people in on the floor came up to our level for bathroom breaks.
We had a great time...Thank you to Stephanie for coming up with the idea.
