This weekend, we are visiting my in-laws out in the country. For those of you less fortunate to head East, here is a small snapshot of what one might see on the way out to the big city of Enloe:
1- Truck Stops
2- Wal-Marts
3- Acres and acres of field-age
4- Some cows and horses
5- More Truck Stops
6- Dairy Queen
The warning I am speaking of is from my husband. He just IM'ed me and said (and I quote), "I want you to start preparing yourself mentally now for shooting my rifle, and my new pistol." To which I replied, "Ok. I will need some eye wear and ear gear- heavy duty on both...and possibly a chest protector (and a bean bag chair for when I fall back from the kick of the rifle)."
Now, I am not so much a girlie girl, but for some reason, shooting this rifle he speaks of makes me uber-nervous. When I see his rifle, all I can think about is the line in the movie Back to the Future, where Doc and Marty are standing in the parking lot of a mall and 'the LIBYAN's!' come flying through the lot with their guns in a mini van. (Tell me you don't know what I am talking about and you'll get a YouTube video personally emailed to you for your viewing pleasure).
So, I guess in addition to mentally preparing for work every morning this week, I am now prepping for a shoot off in East Texas.

I got $50 bucks
Last night we had a double header softball game. My mom was able to attend this game (along with Aunt Laurie and Abe.) I had a few good at bats, but really never had a spectacular hit. So, my mom, carefully approaches me in the dugout and bribes me with $50. She said, "I'll give you $50 if you get a hit and get to 1st base without being tagged out." Right on.
I hit. I got on base. My mom owes me $50 bucks. (Actually, I has requested that she put it on my tab.)

Trying a new look...
I need some comments on the new look of my blog. Likes/dislikes? Comments. For the love.
Not sure how I am feeling about this, as we all know how I feel about "change."
In other news, I am anxiously awaiting my departure from work this evening for 2 reasons:
1. My mom is making us dinner. YUM!
2. The Bachelorette "hometown" date show is tonight.
Ok, send the comments in about the new look. There are plenty more creative templates I can choose from if this one doesn't suit your fancy.

Pretzels from the Mall
It's been a while since I've actually "blogged." I had a "fan" tell me today that he was disappointed when he opened my blog and there wasn't a post. So, "fan", today is your lucky day. Today, I blog.
The past few weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind. My car has been to the shop twice (once because of a hit and run and the second time because the air pressure in my tires had over 50 lbs of pressure MORE than they needed...), I drove a mini van for 5 days, our pool pump went out, our A/C went out, I got some sort of bug and was laid out for 2.5 days, my brother and his gf have been in town for a week, my parents have been here as well, we got new patio furniture, and on top of that- I am working full time and trying to grow/start my business. (Whew!)
All of that to say, I've been busy. Now onto to the good stuff.
Have you ever had a pretzel from the mall? If not, I seriously recommend you visit Auntie Anne's at Northpark. It was the last divine piece of food I ate before coming down with the heinous stomach bug. You may be thinking- a pretzel? Yes. A freaking pretzel. It was delish. I am usually a fan of a dipping mustard, but this go round, I was walking, so dipping and holding onto my strawberry slushie in addition to my shopping bag (and fabulous new patent "leather" purse) was just going to be impossible. Even without the mustard, this pretzel was just perfect. It wasn't hard or flakey. It was soft, warm, and devoured in about 10 minuets. (would have been sooner if it hadn't been for the walking)
Go to Auntie Anne's and order an "OGP" (the cashier told me that was the name for the "original pretzel") and if you need a slushie- get the strawberry. This is a fab combo.
