"Time of My Life"




I just finished reading "Time of My Life" last night. It was a book that I literally grabbed from the shelf at Books-a-Million one Sunday afternoon. They say don't judge a book by it's cover, but that's exactly what I did with this one and I'm glad I did.

It's about a young woman that's in an unhappy marriage. Living in the suburbs of NYC in the year 2007. She has a toddler and an immaculate home.

Then one morning she wakes up in 2001. In her apartment in the city. She's still with her former boyfriend. An interesting turn of events leads her back to 2007 where she reaps the benefits of her second chance and better decisions & choices.

I recommend it!

Country Bumpkins

I spent Labor Day at my grandmother's house with my aunts, uncles & cousins. We hadn't all been together since Christmas I guess. So, it was a good day. I took these pictures at the garden the oldest two girls have as their 4-H project. They had okra and eggplant left. The picture above (which took about 15 minutes to capture) is Abby in the green, Emily on top and Rileigh in front.
Sadler Cole almost 2 years old.

The chickens. Also part of the 4-H projects.

Ok. So, I lost my camera. BUT I Found my old camera a couple of months ago. I had given it to my dad. Call me an Indian Giver, but I took it back. I'll spare you the camera story, but I haven't been boring since my last post. I just don't have the pictures to prove it, so I'll move on.

Saturday was the first home football game for the Red Wolves, formerly the Indians, at Arkansas State. I went to the tailgate festivities with my friend Amanda. Pictured at left. I wore a Michael Kors top that I bought last winter. I bought it marked down and specifically for a football game. Mission accomplished. :-)






Pictured at left is junk food I ate from the concession stand. Oh, to have my college metabolism back. I drank a Mt. Dew everyday in college... However, I woke up sick in the middle of the night Saturday. ...as a result of this indulgence.










Ok, I sat behind this fella. The guy that had the nerve to wear a Razorback cap to an Arkansas State game. Big pet peeve of mine. I have nothing against the University of Arkansas. Why would I right? But my thought is this: If you are a huge fan of the Hogs; Then why didn't you go to school there???

Oh, and apparently I also sat behind a girl named Candace. Either that or she got taken for by a tatoo artist. Tramp Stamp on a Very large white girl. Lovely...


Oh, and we killed 'em. 61 - 0. Followed up by a casual evening at Amanda's. The Bishops were in town for Labor Day.
