Predictions

Okay, as sweet and precious as she is, I think this little lady is going home tonight. When Simon uses the word "horrendous" I think that is a bad sign. Also, she destroyed that song...Pretty smile though!

I wish that Amanda was going home though. I am over her. I think she is cool and all but she needs to be singing with a band at some cool bar Los Angeles or something. Too nasal for me....

Everyone says that Carly here is one of the frontrunners. Am I the only one who doesn't get it? She has a powerful voice and her pitch is good but her tone is kinda painful for me.... I'm not so into it.

Also, those pants do nothing for her! :)

Last night was a good show, Chikezie really impressed me. Poor little David forgot his words. That was sad and stressed me out for him! My favorite girl, Brooke, did a great job, but did anyone else feel like she was panicking up there? She seemed really tense and stressed, and as soon as she finished the song she immediately began crying. I was yelling at my TV "Breathe, honey. Relax!". She still did a good job though.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this subject? :) You know you do!

Trouser Jeans en Espanol

We had a wonderful Texas weekend! I got in to Houston on Thursday night. Friday morning when I woke up I got to see my sister Jaclyn and her precious baby girl, Grace. That child is unbelievable. She is cuddly and smart and can stand up without holding on to anything! She has all kinds of tricks and she giggles and she fed me cheerios, which was very kind of her! AND, my LINDSEE came over too! Mom, Lindsee, Jaclyn, and Grace joined me for lunch at The Olive Garden. I said "lets go have soup, salad, and breadsticks!". I had no soup nor salad. I did have breadsticks though. And they were delicious!


We went to the mall (PTL!!) and shopped it up. I was really on the hunt for some trouser jeans, cause I have yet to buy a pair. So Linds told me that Old Navy had some that were well priced. We walked through the different sections and couldn't find any. So I saw the Old Navy employee with her little headset on, and I stopped her and said, "Excuse me, where are your trouser jeans?". She just stared at me blankly and said "Um... trouser... jeans? What do they look like... are they high waisted? I don't know what those are". It is my personal opinion that if you are working in a retail store in the mall that sells women's clothing, you need to be up to speed on things like that. Trouser jeans. Learn the term. She might as well have said "Capri pants? What are those?". We did not find trouser jeans there, but we did purchase 2 cookies each from the cookie company. That was a highlight. (By the way, I later returned to the mall and bought some trouser jeans from Ann Taylor Loft. Super cute. Excellent purchase!)


Friday night Grantley and I had to go to the rehearsal dinner for the wedding. While waiting in the restaurant for our party to arrive, I ran into several people from highshool, which is always so weird! But fun! The dinner was delicious and we had a great time.


Saturday Jaclyn and my mom and Grace and me all got mani/pedi's. Ya'll it was hysterical. Jaclyn was sitting in her little chair and one of the ladies who works there decided that Jaclyn needed a magazine. So she sweetly handed a magazine to Jaclyn and said "here you go honey!". Jaclyn said "Thank you!". After the lady walked away, Jaclyn said "JENNY!!!". When I turned to look at her she was holding up the magazine that was given to her: People en Espanol!!! She gave her a spanish magazine! We were not really able to control ourselves. Mom couldn't even look at us or acknowledge the People en Espanol cause she knew if she started laughing we would never be able to stop! CLASSIC!


Saturday night was the wedding. For the record, I wore a black dress with a black shrug, gold earrings, and a long black beaded necklace. It was really cold out so I also were my black pea coat, so the outfit didn't even matter so much! (Thank you everyone who commented! Ya'll were very helpful!) Lauren, the bride, looked beautiful. It was a gorgeous day and everything went so smoothly.


We drove back last night. Daylight savings was getting the best of me this morning. It felt far too early to be waking up! Not to mention that my husband kept pulling me back into bed as I was trying to get ready. He kept saying, "No work! Sleep!". I couldn't agree more, but I had to keep going :)


So here I am now, at work, pretending to be very busy with all this typing. They have no idea I am updating my blog :) I will leave you with a verse that kinda jumped out at me last night:


But I will trust in your unfailing love
My heart rejoices in your salvation
I will sing to the Lord
For He has been good to me
Psalms 13: 5-6

Happy Monday, and have a wonderful week!

Help Me!!!

Ladies, I need your help.

Grant and I are leaving town tomorrow night to go to a wedding in Texas (yay!). However, I am at a total loss as to what to wear. Allow me to explain...

The wedding is outdoors.

It is at 4:00 in the afternoon.

My husband is an usher, therefore he is wearing a tuxedo.

And...here's the hard part.... the vest that the groom has chosen for his groomsmen and ushers to wear is.... camouflage. Hunting camouflage. With leaves on it. I was envisioning military camo. But when husband came home with the tux tonight, I learned the difference between hunting camo and military camo. We are wearing hunting camo.

What do you wear to an outdoor wedding at 4:00 when your date is wearing a tuxedo with a camouflage vest????

HELP!!!!!

March On

I've had this little song in my head all day. I am not sure where it is from, I have known it as far back as I can remember. I used to have all these little Bible song sing-a-long videos as a little girl, and it may be from one of those. But as Grant and I drove back to Baton Rouge from New Orleans this morning after a wonderful wonderful weekend with his parents, I couldn't help but sing it on this sunshine-y day. It goes like this:

It's a happy day, and I thank God for the weather
It's a happy day, and I'm living it for my Lord
It's a happy day, and things are gonna get better
Living each day by the promises of God's Word.

And that is all it is. But it is just so BEAUTIFUL today. Grant feels like the luckiest husband in the world today because I MADE him go play golf! As much as I love Sundays at home with the hubby, I also know that to pass up a "golf day" like this is a crime! Plus, I am also enjoying the E! True Hollywood Story on Renee Zelwegger and napping next to our little Moxie dog.

So here we are in March. (Can you believe it?) 2008 is moving on along at rapid speed. Grant mentioned today how blessed we are. I couldn't agree more. Just the fact that we can go buy groceries every week without sweating the bill is something we take for granted. Sure, we can't fly off to Europe on a whim and I can't buy this new Coach purse I've had my eye on, but the Lord provides food for us every week and we just swipe the debit card without blinking. I am going to make it a point this week to thank God for the "small stuff". I'll even thank him for these comfy gray lounge pants I am wearing. They are nothing short of a blessing.

I was giggling at how many comments I got about Jon & Kate Plus 8! It looks like I am not the only one who enjoys that show. Tomorrow night is the episode showing them skiing. I cannot imagine keeping up with all those kids on a mountain. I can't keep up with myself on a mountain!

I hope all my ladies have a blessed, blessed week. Thank God for the small stuff. And don't sweat the petty things. Also, don't pet the sweaty things. :)
