LSU vs. Arkansas

OK...OK...so Arkansas won...big deal! It was only by 1 point and hey, you Arkansas fans have to admit you were a little scared there for a while when the score was 30 to 14. I did notice that no one bothered texting me when we were winning. That's how it always goes though. No one texts me when LSU is winning, but the minute we start losing, people start blowing my phone up with texts. I think I had 5 come in at the same time as soon as the game was over. Enjoy your little Golden Boot trophy...we don't have room. Our two crystal footballs are filling our trophy case! Good luck in your bowl game...wait, never mind!

LSU vs. Arkansas

Awww...how sweet!!! Me and my honey before the game...notice how bundled up I am...well, it was cold. Not only that, soon after kickoff, it started raining. Yes, it was cold, wet, freezing rain. It's a wonder I don't have pneumonia.

The gang's all here!!! David, Kim Pilcher, and Mike. I don't know if I've ever been to an LSU game without Kim being there...he's a hoot!

Wait a minute...is someone out of place in this picture??? Oh yeah, it's Melanie...our Razorback fan! Just kidding Mel!!

#1 item on the girls' Christmas list

My brother brought two of his boxer puppies up to Mom's on Thanksgiving for the girls to play with. This is what they want Santa to bring them for Christmas. Can you tell by looking at the pictures who's going to be the "roughest" with the new puppy??? Aren't they precious (the puppies AND our girls)???

BFF's

This is Marcia...AKA Aunt Sha Sha to my kids. Marcia stopped by Mom's on Thanksgiving to say hi. Of course, we had to have our picture made together. Dawn wasn't there or it would have been all three of us in the picture. We were known as the "Three Muskateers" growing up. I've been gone from Louisiana for almost 10 years now, but will always consider them my BFF's!!!

LSU/Ole Miss continued:

OK...this is how close we were...too dang close!!! That's the CBS camera right there in front of me.

This is where we ended up sitting after Mike text me saying there were empty seats around him. This was so much better...at least I could watch the game on the field and not on the screen.

Ever heard of "Big Herman"? Well, here he is...the biggest baby ever born in Louisiana weighing in at a whopping 15 lbs. and (I forget how many ounces). Who cares about the ounces...the 15 lbs. blows my mind!!!

This is "Big Herman's" moma. The back of her shirt says "MAMA HOUSE". What a woman!

LSU vs. Ole Miss

Well, we lose once again. I'm seriously considering following another team! NOT! It's really hard to sit there and watch LSU get beat so bad by Ole Miss of all teams. Oh well, we had a good time. We had tickets on the 2nd row...yes, I said 2nd row. I'll never sit there again. I got some good pictures...of the players behinds!!!! I did get to see them up close...heck, we were right behind the CBS camera. However, I couldn't see what was going on on the field. I kept having to look up at the screen on the scoreboard. Right before halftime, David and I moved up where Mike was sitting. He text me and said there were a few empty seats around him that no one had claimed yet...so we moved. I got some pics, but none of me and David. He was too mad to have a picture made with me. Mad at the game, that is. So I'll share a few (of the players behinds) to let you see just how close we were at the beginning of the game.

Don't forget to unload your car after shopping!!!!

I just wanted to give you all a little reminder (I seem to need plenty these days, I don't know what's happening to my memory)...don't forget to unload your car after Christmas shopping. Anyway, when I got home from shopping Saturday night, I thought, well I'll unload the car later...the girls are still up and they don't need to see all of this. I ended up unloading what I had bought for myself (I mean, come on, who goes Christmas shopping without buying something for yourself?) Well, as I mentioned in my last post, we had company come over to watch the game and me and my wonderful memory forgot to finish unloading the car after the girls went to bed. Wellll, I had to go by Wal-Mart today after work to pick up a few things. Morgan knows the code to my car that unlocks all the doors AND pops my trunk. On our way out to the car, I told her to go ahead and unlock it and pop the trunk for me. Boy, it sure would help me if my memory was a little better than it is. Sooooo, I'm standing at the back of the car...she pops the trunk and walks back to open it for me. As soon as the trunk went up...I gasped and slammed it shut!!!! I'm just thankful her little hands weren't in the way. WHEW!!! You should have seen the look on her face...I think I scared her to death. She said, "What's that?" I said, "Oh,...I forgot to unload all the presents I bought for everyone the other night." She said, "Is any of it ours?" I said, "NO." Then she said, "What was in that box...it looked like a play computer or something?" I said, "I don't remember...it's probably something I bought for someone else...get in the car and get buckled." Needless to say, I had to cram everything I bought at Wal-Mart in the front seat of my car. I sure am going to miss "Jungle Jim" and "Sugar's" house this year. We knew where their spare key was and before I would go home from Christmas shopping, I'd make a stop at their house and unload. Now I just need to remember to unload it all before I pack the car up to go to Louisiana this weekend!!!
