One minute

Let's see how I can do. I literally only have like, two minutes to post. And for the past couple of Wednesday's I have left you all high and dry with no Wednesday's Word. I know how many of you look forward to it so I will do my best not to disappoint. Today's word will be
Auld. Basically, it means "old". The Scot's used this word a lot. I'm not certain of that fact but it sounds Scottish. As in "O'Riley! Git yer auld pooch outta my bin! Arr." Wait. I think that may be Irish. Or Pirate-ish. Aren't they on the same continent? I once knew someone who went to Edinburgh, Scotland on a mission and one thing I remember {oddly} is this saying: Dunna chuck bruck. Which I believe means: Don't litter. I think it works. So if we plug the word auld in there, it can be interpreted as saying, "Please don't throw your old garbage on the ground. Only your new stuff. Thanks."

How about "Auld Lang Syne" is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song- and there you go! Just in time to sing it for New Years Eve! love you mom

You're too educated for me missy! Glad to see you had such a fantabulously wonderfulific Christmas. Missing you guys.

See my words don't even show up in the dictionary because they are so cool to be only spoken by me. Hee hee.

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
