goodbye summer

it was fun while it lasted...

hello fall

pumpkin down!

we have our first casualty of the season. having an almost-one year old makes decorating a little more challenging.

an interesting new development

mommy has been remiss in posting this little tid-bit.

waiting for baby

we were waiting for baby to get beautified at the groomers and since it was such a perfect day we decided to pass the time at the park.

a lovely afternoon

So I've been tagged by Leah and Ashley D. (Update) Jennifer informed me that she had also tagged me at one time and was offended that I never responded. So here we go...

The rules are:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules.
3. Tell six unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag six bloggers by linking.
5. Leave a comment for each blogger.

Quirk #1
I am weirdly fascinated by The Mullet. Not an uncommon fetish, I know, but it is something of an enigma that calls to me, "Look at Me! Understand Me! Love Me!" I have so many questions: Why would someone (Redneck or not) insist on such a widely ridiculed hairstyle? Are they making some kind of point? Are they uninformed? Are they oblivious to the shape of their head? I can't help it. A good mullet is an oddly beautiful thing, don't you think?

Quirk #2
I absolutely cannot drink water directly from the tap. I don't insist on a filtering process or anything, but I have to jug it and put it in the fridge before I can drink it. It is completely psychological.

Quirk #3
Ever since we got TiVo I can't watch live TV. I can't sit through the commercials. I can't flip through the channels (or even the Guide) to find something I want to watch. My attention span has definitely suffered.

Quirk #4
Running makes me throw up. I will not run unless I am being chased by a wild animal or a man wielding an axe.

Quirk #5
I love to brush my teeth. Seriously, I am IN LOVE with brushing my teeth. Every time I go to the Dentist, the Dental Hygenist raves over my at-home care.

Quirk #6
I secretly love those email surveys. You know, the really high school ones that are like... "What's your favorite ice cream?"; "If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 CDs would you take with you?"; "Which Jonas Brother would you Make Out With? Date? Marry?"; and, yes, even this one. I have typed and retyped each and every quirk until it was worded exactly. So, Leah, Ashley, thank you for the opportunity.

I'm not tagging anyone else. My Quirk #7 is that I'm a rebel, baby!

ice cream social

we went to autozone park today for the big scoop ice cream festival. we stuffed ourselves full of cold, creamy goodness to benefit the ronald mcdonald house. we saw many st jude families there and were reminded how blessed we are to enjoy our health. we were also blessed to be able to give a few dollars in order to help these families enjoy a beautiful "home" while they are here in memphis.

i had my first ice cream cone -- just my size!
