Saturday, I think!

At my house, we have all been off of work/school so long that we don't even know what day it is! I was confused when I woke up and caught up on my blog reading as to why Melissa B. at the Scholastic Scribe didn't have her Sunday picture post up! Then Cameron woke up and looked all over the house for me to ask "what day is it?" So yeah, it's only Saturday and we are happy about that!

I had to laugh at my friend Lesley's comment. We are getting ready for our 2nd road trip to visit JP, which should hopefully go much better than our first road trip! And yes, Sista, Cameron has more electronic gadgets to bring in the car and the hotel than you can imagine. You may not even notice he is with us!! And as for him being mortified at hotel, thank goodness we learned our lessons the first time, because he would probably have slept in the car if he was with us the first time!! The bad news is that we probably can't ride with the top down all 5 minutes like we did when we went without him! And yes, oddly enough, South Beach has a diet challenge that starts January 12th which is RIGHT after our road trip! I think it's a sign Sista! You have to do it with me!!

My friend, Michelle, asked if Cameron has been to visit JP before, and the answer is yes. He's actually been a few times, but it's usually easier just to make a quick weekend roadtrip without him. JP specially requested Cameron's appearance this time, so I arranged the trip around when Cameron is here with me. And people, while I'm talking about Michelle, I would like to encourage you to all go and visit her blog!! She is my real life friend and is an incredible person and is a huge inspiration to me. She has Spina Bifida and is more independant than I am! Seriously! Go check this chick out! She is awesome and would love to hear from you! And yeah, we call her Chelle and you should too!

And Chelle mentioned the cute little blonde girl in the plaid dress in my post. That is Walter's great-niece Claire. She was born with a defect in her heart and had several surgeries early in her life and we weren't sure if she would be ok or not. Let me just say, she is perfectly ok and is the most precious child you'll ever meet! Someone gave her a booksack with her name on it and she wore it on her back the rest of the day! It is actually on there in the picture!

Another chuckle I got today was from my brother. My niece, Daphne LOVED the Sesame Street toys we got her for Christmas!! So much so, that Kenny sent me this message!

Of the three of us, she's by far the happiest about this toy :)

Yeah, I love it!!

Walter and I were able to go pick my car up today after getting good news! It was just out of alignment, but I really appreciate that the first place we brought it was honest and said they weren't sure they could fix it, thinking the problem was worse than it was. We had to pay $50 to get it realigned, then $50 because they pointed out how overdue my oil change was, so we let them do it, so for $100 we got the car fixed and the oil changed and it is running perfectly! Yay!

My friend, Renie, asked who cooked the gumbo for our Christmas get-together. Walter cooked it and it was delicious!!! We fed 50 people, plus sent leftovers home with most of them, and still have some left!!

Veggie Mom, where I got my awesome Pop'rs, asked who dressed as Santa at my brother-in-law's Christmas Eve party. This is actually pretty funny! Nobody ever wants to play Santa anymore, so my brother-in-law's next door neighbor, who is VERY SKINNY, agreed to do it! However, he is an important person at LSU and I find it very awkward that we are all expected to sit in his lap and take pictures!!! I refrain whenever it's him, cause really, he is someone important!!!!

JP called today and is doing fine. He said for Christmas they got a breakfast Christmas tree shaped brownie! He was excited! Thank God for the little things, huh?

And thanks for all the compliments on my hair! And hey, even if you're doing a diet other than South Beach, let me know! We can still all support each other!
