Okay, I have been really out of touch this summer with the blogging, but my friend Bob of The Four of Clubbs tagged me with the challenge to come up with 8 random things about me. Here goes, but be warned, I'm boring!
1. I swear I'm earning frequent flyer miles at Lowes! Kenny asked me what I wanted to do tonight after church. We kind of try to pretend we have a life, and I said "Let's go to Lowes!" One hour later, I made it out with a new Hunter ceiling fan to replace the one in my bedroom that sounded like it was about to self-destruct plus lots of ideas about how I'd like to repaint my room and redo a chest I have had for years. Sebrina and Joe warned me that once we bought a house, we'd be at Lowes or Home Depot all the time, and she's right!
2. Speaking of things for the house, I just got my couch in that I purchased for our basement. We had two chairs down here with our TV, but the couch has officially made it our favorite room in our house! It's a sleeper sofa, so feel free to come up and visit.
3. I feel like I have spent the majority of my summer somewhere besides my house. I've spent quite a bit of time with my parents down in Malden and when I have been home, it seems like I have had company (translation my niece and nephew, along with my mom, an aunt, and a family friend). The more the merrier! However, I really need to repack my bags before my next trip.
4. Speaking of my next trip, I'm headed to Atlanta and Savannah next Saturday! Kenny, his mom, and I are headed down there to visit his brother Greg who got a job and moved to Atlanta this spring. Kenny's brother is an environmental engineer, is crazy smart, and loses me in most conversations after the first two sentences! We're headed to Savannah as a side trip. All I can say is here I come! I plan on eating at "The Lady and Sons" along with "Mrs. Wilkes' Boarding House". If I could just catch a show by The Lady Chablis, my trip would be complete.
5. On Friday, Kenny and I went to see the Napoleon exhibit at the St. Louis Art Museum. If you love history, furniture, china, or textiles, it's definitely worth the trip. Plus if you go on Fridays, it's free! Can't beat free!
6. I'm reading a children's book called "The Kingdom Keepers" about a group of kids who have to save Disneyworld. If you've ever been to Disneyworld, or if you love The Mouse, I highly recommend picking up this book for a quick read!
7. Along with deciding to go back to school, I have completely lost my mind and have agreed to consider teaching a 7th grade PSR (Parish School of Religion) at my church. I say "consider" because I haven't officially said yes yet, but I know I will. Will I never learn!?!
8. Two words: Banana Pops. I absolutely love these frozen treats! There is nothing better on a hot, humid, summer day than chowing down on a banana popsicle! If you get the sugar free variety, they're only 35 calories! YAY!

OK we are **totally** jealous that you get to eat at The Lady and Sons. But we're excited for you, too! I expect a bite-by-bite review when you get back from there.
Have fun!
oh my gosh! you have to read paula's auto biography before you go. it will give you a new appreciation for her and her food. i recommend the book on tape. wal-mart has it and your local public library may also have it. it would make a perfect book to listen to on the drive down. have a great trip. do try to blog again soon we miss your wit and unique take on everyday life. of course we will be waiting with bated breath fro the low down on "the lady and sons".
actually it's a book on CD. did i just give away my age? can you tell i'm over 30? heehee
