Okay, so I used to do "Aloha Friday" but it seems that it has died down... I have random questions of things that run through my head and I am going to start asking a question each week...  Would love to hear your answers!!!!!   I would also love for you to join in with me... Ask a Question of your own - either here in the comments or on your blog (leave me a link so I can visit and answer)  If it seems that a couple of you start doing this with me, I will totally put up a linky, but for now, I just want to know your thoughts... Today's Question -  What is your favorite Disney Movie? My answer - I would say that it is a toss up between Frozen and The Little Mermaid. I love the musical parts in them both... and the story of both of them are great...  I love almost all Disney Movies, but these are the top ones right now!

Today's Question - What is your favorite dessert? My answer -  I love anything sweet! It depends, sometimes it has to be chocolate, but other times, it just has to be sweet.  Today, I would say Red Velvet Cake is a must... But that is just because I would love a piece right now!  (or maybe Carrot Cake, I am not picky!

Today's Question -  Do you send Thank You notes? My answer - I try my best to always send them.  Meaning, we always write them. I actually just found one in my purse I meant to hand deliver... but it was never done... I will give it to them the next time I see them.  We especially make it a point to send Thank you notes when Broxton gets a birthday gift or something like that... It is always hand written and sent. ...

Today's Question- Do you acknowledge the RSVP on invitations? My answer- I ALWAYS acknowledge them... From weddings to birthdays and anything else... I find it rude not to do so.  Especially when they made the point to include it.  Some say" regrets only" but if they are asking for an RSVP, why not take the time to say yes or no...   I know that I put it on Broxton's invitations... since I needed to know how many kids to...

Today's Question -  Have you ever been to a blog conference and if so, which one(s)?   My answer - I have never been to one.  I really want to attend several and I am trying my best to do so.  Not only for the knowledge learned about blogging, but to meet some of the bloggers I have made friends with over the years!  

My email has been getting quite a bit of action lately...  I saw a couple emails that I thought some of you might be interested in, so I wanted to do my little "email roundup" and share a couple things with you...  The Big Wedding is headed to Theaters Soon: SYNOPSIS: With an all-star cast led by Robert DeNiro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Amanda Seyfried, Topher Grace, with Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams, THE BIG WEDDING is an uproarious romantic comedy about a charmingly modern family trying to survive a weekend wedding celebration that has the potential to become a full blown family fiasco.  To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long divorced couple Don and Ellie Griffin (De Niro and Keaton) are once again forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son's wedding after his ultra conservative biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly halfway across the world to attend. With all of the wedding guests looking on, the G...

Yesterday, we went to the UGA game... It was Broxton's first game and we had a blast! I will be blogging and posting pictures of all of that soon... But, until then, I had a question I wanted to ask... When we were coming home, we were in the car all of about 10 minutes before everyone was asleep... So, that meant I had complete silence to drive in. It was a long day and traffic was HORRIBLE! Stop and go, stop and go. Tons of cars, lots of red lights... Just nuts... It was getting dark, thanks to that lovely time change that I am STILL not used to. The red brake lights of all the cars were blending together... This went on for miles... A van pulled in front of me (not like my lane was any faster, guess they just wanted to get a change of scenery...) I noticed they had a movie playing from their drop down DVD player... That leads me to my question.... Do you ever try to look and guess what they are watching? I do! I don't know if I do it because I am just that bored or what......

Before Marc deployed, he kept having to go for training... Well, one of the times he was able to be home, we got the boys for the weekend and had family time! (We were at my parents house and my brother was home... ) Now, are you ready? They decided that they wanted to have a hot dog eating contest. I am not sure how the thought ever came about... but, it was going to be fun. There is this place back home that sells hot dogs (it doesn't really look that great, but my brother swears that they are great hot dogs ... I am not a fan of hot dogs , but I will occasionally eat them) So, we were going to go and get a ton of dogs... Well, my mom had us call her when the contest was to start, she wanted to come home and see this... We went to get them and we ended up getting like 50 dogs... ( Hot dog with chili, coleslaw and onions at that!) We got home, had the boys take their shirts off ... ( I was NOT about to try and clean that up!) My brother was ready as well.... They had 10 minut...

So, I am just getting back to the blogging thing... Been a bit nuts around here lately, but hopefully, things will be back to normal soon. Remember, I was sick for a few weeks, then Broxton got it... Well, Broxton FINALLY got over it, but that nasty bug has snuck back up on us! So, here we are again... FIGHTING it! But, I am so happy that I got this award! My sweet blogger buddy, Lorie gave it to me... Go and check her out... Also, if you would, please keep her and her family in your prayers... Her son, Nikolaus, is getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan... I would love to pass it along, to ALL of my wonderful blogger buddies! You know who you are! :) I will post again soon, need to go work on laundry! Oh yeah, quick question, why is it when babies teethe, they get sick?

So, today is Tuesday... Randomness it is then! To start with... If you have not seen MY SISTERS KEEPER, you should definitely watch it! Have the tissues handy! I love Jodi Picoult . Her books are great! ( I will post about all of that soon!) Moving along, I do not know about y'all , but I watched the hangover the other night with my little brother, I was LAUGHING OUT LOUD, like, for real! It was too funny! Now, this movie is not for everyone, so do not go and rent it just because I said so... but for some of you, YOU WILL LOVE IT! Speaking of not for everyone... Have you heard all the hoop-la over this new show on MTV, called Jersey Shore? Well, we watched it the other night... I hate to say it, but come on now... These people are killing me! They say it is supposed to be all about "the Jersey Shore" and representing "Italian Americans ", Ummmmmmmmmmmmm I DO NOT THINK SO! My family is Italian, my husband is Italian... This in NOWAYWHATSOEVER represents ...

So, when I was younger, I paid attention to EVERYTHING! (in other words, NOSY!) I still hear the stories, always me asking questions. One time, we passed a street sign... PED Xing . What did I say? "Daddy, what is PED Xing ?" or at the gas station... We now carry 16 oz coke. "Daddy, what is oz?" Hmmm ..... For sale sign on a tree to sell the lot. "Daddy, why do they want to sell that one tree?" Now, I can not seem to remember to pay attention to anything.. LOL The other morning, I went to get my shower. Time to change the razor blade. I changed it, put the shave gel on my legs and I started shaving.. Ughhhhhhh This razor blade SUCKS! Didn't I JUST change it? What is the problem? It didn't shave not even ONE hair.. Then I realized... Yeah, I put the razor blade on backwards... Next time I will pay attention! Today, I couldn't decide between Banana and Cream or Blueberry and Cream Oatmeal. I d...
