Thanksgiving Day Parade

I went to the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Houston. It was my first time. I really enjoyed it! Here are some pics for you to enjoy:

Guilty

Do you remember these? (Mema gave me two of them.)

Well, now they look like this!! It appears that a couple of plant bandits have destroyed them.

And, here they are!!!

Bus Beats

This was my bus driver home today. He has no idea that I took his picture. Have no clue as to his name. But, I do know that he talks to hisself (himself?) during the entire ride. He's not the friendliest of the bus drivers.

This is the Cotton Exchange. This building is very old. Not sure what it was born as. I just like it. And, I like it's location.

For Kallie: The Cupcake Test

This one is for you, Kallie!

What Your Cupcake Says About You

At parties, you tend to be a social butterfly. You enjoy making conversation and making sure everyone is having fun. You hardly have any restraint. You only hold yourself back when absolutely necessary. The most important thing in your life is love. You are laid back, flexible, and easy to get along with. To know you is to care for you.

The Cupcake Test

Creamy Wafers - I Did It!

I finally made the creamy wafer cookies that my wonderful sister makes every year for the holidays. They are divine!

Lesson learned: She told me to use a shot glass as my cookie cutter. Unfortunately, I couldn't find ONE shot glass in my house. So, I used a small wine glass. The cookies are too big. I like her smaller ones that you can pop in your mouth. Otherwise, they still have the same delightful taste.

Stole This One From Jeanette

Yeah.. I stole it. But, it's kind of cool.

What's in a name?

What Mary Means

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Gosh Darnit!

You see the time on this post, right? I was jarred out of bed by a huge crash of lightning. Had I not looked out the window, I would have sworn that it struck something right outside my bedroom. It seriously sounded like it hit the light pole or Kelley's truck or something. I DID hear a crash!!! But, to no avail, at this late hour (or wee, wee morning hour), I don't see the lightning's damage other than my sleepy reflection in the mirror. I'm up, gosh darnit!!! And, can't get back to sleep.

So here are some questions that I thought might cause you to wonder as well...

• How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of murdered?
• Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'?
• Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
• How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
• Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
• Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural?
• If the professor on Gilligan's Island could make a radio out of a coconut,why couldn't he fix a hole in a boat?
• If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?
• If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
• Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Sweet dreams!

Saturday Night Sillyness

Here we goooo....

Saturday Night by The Bay City Rollers


Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta


Saturday Night At The Movie by The Drifters


Yes, I was bored.

I Love Technology

I truly love technology. I know that it causes us to be more sedentary than our ancestors. But, man, you can't beat these things:

• Cell Phones with internet, music, bluetooth, email, games and whatever else floats your boat.
• Being able to download the song that you like from an album instead of having to buy the whole thing


• Recording all of your favorite shows on your DVR (I don't have one but hope to get one someday.)

• Blogs
• Car Radios that allows you to plug in your iPod - Just bought one 2 weeks ago and I love it!! Good bye transmitter.

• GPS Navigators - Don't have one of these either but can get it on my phone. One day, I'll have a car with it built in.

And more....

What would we do without it all?

"Animal"ation

Does This Bother You???

First of all, I think I have a bus infatuation. LOL .. here is yet another blog about a bus. But, it's not about MY bus this time.. How about that???

Today, I travelled across town for a class. (Boring one at that.) While sitting at a red light, I watched as a school bus passed me carrying elementary students. To my shock and dismay, there were students standing in the aisle of the bus. What?????

I am one to believe that school buses need seat belts. Why do we make our children wear them in our cars but they don't have to wear one on the bus??? Children standing in the aisle of the bus while it's moving makes absolutely NO SENSE!!! Clearly, the bus was full which caused this scene. I continue to be shocked by the value (or shall I say, devalue) we place on our children.

Tell me.. does this bother you as much as it does me???

Blogger's Block

Sigh!!! Suffering from blogger's block these days. Don't really have any fun topics or even interesting ones to blog about. What do I typically do when I am not blogging and just plain bored?? Play this:

	I love to play Canasta Play with 4 wild cards and a 104-card deck!
Pogo.com — play hundreds of fun games online!

I keep meaning to take my camera to work. There are some really cool buildings downtown that I never noticed.

A bit agitated with the hub tonight. In all fareness to him, I can't really blog about that.

Stay tuned!!! Something FUN has to be coming my way.
