Tall Black Boots

It's been a pretty non-eventful few days here. This week has been filled with working, sleeping, and watching my husband play a silly little game called Halo 3. I thought my husband was the only husband doing this, but no. Last night he was playing with FOUR other married men, all of which have a job to wake up to, yet they are all playing Halo 3. I am friends with a few of those ladies and we've discussed before that our husbands are using the tv too much :) I'm sure all of the wives are thinking the same thing I am though. Atleast I know I'm not alone.

I am ready for it to be cooler outside. I'm not quite ready for winter weather (not that Louisiana gets much of a winter) but I would like to retire my summer clothes. I have some sweaters I would like to wear. And my boots. And my denim jacket. The south does not get much of a fall, sometimes it seems that summer just turns directly into winter. Joanna (who lives in Montana) is beginning a full fledged winter up there! Sending you big warm hugs my precious friend!

So ladies, what are you looking forward to wearing again as the weather changes? :)

How Not to Work Out

My sweet precious friend Katie sent me this video and I can't stop watching it. I can't breathe it's so funny! My heart goes out to this poor woman, but you can't not laugh at this. Oooh girl!

Ridiculously Cheesy

Hey ya'll! I rarely get to blog in the evenings but I have a few minutes while dinner is finishing! It's been a nice few days here......

Yesterday I got home from work and started right on my new recipe! I made pork chops braised in a white wine sauce. (FROM SCRATCH!) It was soooo good and I am getting more and more comfortable trying new things. Grant liked it too.

We don't have a television in our bedroom. I didn't think it was a good idea, I am SUCH a tv watcher that if I'm not careful I can get way too into it and I just thought it was a better idea for us to keep it in the living room! So last night it was rainy and chilly and we decided to have a little party! :) We folded out the fold out couch and watched all our shows in a more relaxed atmosphere. It was wonderful.

Now girls, you KNOW I watched The Bachelor. Let me just say, I am well aware that it is ridiculous and cheesy. Perhaps I'll even say it is ridiculously cheesy. It is a train wreck. I have already formed opinions though. :) We'll see how they turn out. If you watched it last night, be sure to read "The Bachelor Recaps" blog I have linked on the left. You'll love it :)

Today was a crazy, crazy hectic day at work. The other paralegal, Amanda, is vacationing with her girlfriends in Jamaica, so I am doing work for two. I am ready for her to come back, but I am sure she's having a wonderful time!

Now I am home, waiting for the cornbread to finish so we can have dinner. (I made red beans and rice tonight ya'll, with sausage! Grant is a happy camper). Right now our friend JP is over playing a new video game with Grant. Lord help me :)

Love ya'll!
