So the other night I’m in the kitchen washing dishes. J’s going in and out of the house taking out the trash. Nelson’s sniffing around the floor near the fridge and around my feet. Nothing strange right? Then J comes in and exclaims “What the hell is that??” I turn around and Nelson and DaBrie…

The Lion King was just amazing! The opening scene is so powerful and beautiful that I had goose bumps and I even teared up a little. The costumes are just incredible and their voices! Oh man can those people sing. It was just such a beautiful show throughout. Oh! And thanks to the celebrity sighting…

Did anyone else see Keen Eddie last night? I thought it was very cute. And I was so surprised to learn that the main character’s name is Eddie Arlette. Arlette is my middle name! I’ve never heard of anyone with that name before. My parents made it up. My Mom’s name is Paulette and my…

After searching for a decent blush forever then reading Rachel’s review of Benefit’s Dandelion I picked it up at Sephora on Sunday. It really is as fabulous as you think. It warms up my complexion- I’m extremely fair skinned. I also picked up some High Beam because you can never be too shimmery and sparkly.…

I’m so excited! Yesterday after working some overtime my friend Jade and I went to this little bead store in Rock Hill, SC called Peacock Beads. The lady working there, Emily, was so very nice and showed us what to use and what to do. We spent our first hour or so just looking at…

J & I saw Finding Nemo yesterday and we were the only people in the theatre without children. And I think we laughed the loudest. It was so great! We’re big Pixar fans anyway, but this was just the most beautiful, funny, film. It really is the most gorgeous Pixar movie they’ve made. Aside from…

Last night after work J and I went to see a baseball game. It was such a perfect night for a game. No humidity, and it was so cool from all the rain it was almost chilly. I had won free tickets from work so we had amazing seats. We were up 4 rows from…

Reading Andrea’s 100 Things list yesterday made me think of all the cars I’ve had. (Her #100 thing was a list of cars she’s owned.) I have some great memories and funny stories featuring my fleet. First car was a 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88. I bought it when I was 16 years old for $568.…

J: Don’t drink the milk in the jug with the white label. Shannon: Ok. Why not? J: Because it’s out of date by 2 days and even though it’s just fine , I know how you are about not wanting to eat spoiled food. *Note that he says this last part in a hoighty toighty…

So we’ve begun construction of our ark. Just kidding, but I swear we need to get started if the weather keeps up this funky pattern. It’s been raining like the end of the world then breaking for an hour or so, then misting, then monsoon again. We had about 2 hours of sunshine yesterday. It’s…
