Happy Birthday Mom!!
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!!
I walked in with a cake box and she said "Is that one of Ann's cakes?!?!"
**Vince's sister-in-law Ann makes beautiful cakes***
She opened the box and was so thrilled to see a Quilt cake.
Every part of the cake was edible...and yummy!!
She didn't want to cut it so I did it for her.

Should I Boycott?
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.

George Strait
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.
