"we got lobstered"

Let me take a moment to explain this title to you. Last fall when I still lived with my -Best Friend Forever- Jenn, she and her boyfriend (who is also one of my very dearest friends for life) Shan, had gone out to eat. Well, when they got home for the evening, Aury asked them which restaurant they had gone to. To which, Shan ever-so-casually replied, "We got lobstered." This, of course, referred to the fact that they had gone to Red Lobster. Alas, "getting lobstered" was born and the phrase is still an active part of our vocab.

So, with you all caught up on the background information: Friday night, Aury and I made our way to Norman and... we got lobstered. I ordered salmon and crab cakes. The salmon was absolutely delicious and I vowed then and there to order it each and every time I returned to "get lobstered". Anyway, we had a great night. On our way back to Ada, we stopped by Purcell and met up with Aury's -Best Friend Forever- Jerry. Here are a few pics from the night.

This picture obviously wasn't from Friday night, but I was a little jealous that Aury got pictures with his BFF and I didn't, so I dug one out of my archives.

I love and miss you, Jenn!

Thank you Aury for taking me to get lobstered. I had a wonderful, refreshing time with you.

-Love your Bahama Mama :)

I have officially decided that this new song (well... I don't technically know how "new" this song is in the real world, but to me, it's new) by Carrie Underwood is my NEW favorite song. Ah, I love it. And not only do I love the song ..themusic, thebeat, thefeel, thelyrics, the"girl-powerness", as I like to describe songs like this to Aury.. but I love, love, love the video. If you haven't had the chance to see it yet, you should now make that your sole purpose in life. In the mornings while I am getting ready for work, I like to turn on CMT. Well, no matter how late I am running (which is usually really late, every morning) I take time out to sit and watch the video. Now that's what I call dedication (or obsession, you pick). Here are a couple stills from the video. Go watch it! Go love it!

By the way, I would kill .KILL. for Miss Carrie's legs. I mean, look at them, who wouldn't??

Doesn't it look like SO much fun??

(Sorry this one's a little blurry.)

Now, if I had any idea how to upload an audio clip of the song for you to listen to, I would. BUT... being that I don't have the least little clue how that's done, you will have to settle for finding the video on CMT.com or YouTube. Sorry.

long time, no post

Greetings!

Well, I figured that since it has been over a month since I made my last post, I should grace you with my presence and bring you up to date. I know that since I have such a large and loyal following (Momma, Sister & occasionally Aury), I really need to be a more active blogger. My apologies and I will try, try, try to do better.

It is OCTOBER. Though Aury informed me last night that he doesn't think Halloween is technically a holiday, I have deemed it MY favorite HOLIDAY. I love all things spooky (not scary, just spooky) therefore, I thoroughly enjoy this "holiday". I would be completely happy to spend the rest of my life living in an absolutely spooky little castle, brewing up pretend spells and talking to my black cat. No, I'm not as strange as that sounds, but doesn't it just seems like oodles of fun?! In keeping with true "holiday" spirit, I will share with you a picture of a perfectly spooky place. BOO!

Happy October and Happy Halloween!

Feel free to be as "spooky" as you wanna be!

model material?

About a month ago, a photographer in the area approached me about taking some photos for a calendar he was putting together. Of course, I said "Count me in!" The shoot was so much fun and the best part was that my momma and sister were there to share the experience with me. I even got to take some shots with them! We took over 300 photos and came out with about 50 that we liked. Naturally, I narrowed that 50 down to about 20 that I would like to share with you. Now, for the pictures...

wasted

standing at the back door..she tried to make it fast

one tear hit the hard wood..it fell like broken glass

she said sometimes love slips away

and you just can't get it back

let's face it

for one split second..she almost turned around

but that'd be like pouring rain drops..back into a cloud

so she took another step..said i see the way out

and i'm gonna take it

i don't wanna' spend my life jaded..waiting

to wake up one day and find..i've let all these years go by

wasted

i don't wanna' keep on wishing..missing

the still of the morning..the color of the night

i ain't spending no more time wasted

she looked in the mirror and her eyes were clear

for the first time in a while

i don't wanna spend my life jaded..waiting

to wake up one day and find..i've let all these years go by

wasted
