Blogging on a lazy, rainy Saturday night . . .

-

I’ve been meaning to talk about this lately, but has slipped my mind. For those of you who follow my blog, you know that back in March on vacation my family swapped secret sibling gifts. My secret sibling got me a “BAGGU”. This is a shopping bag with a cute little pouch to put it in. I am officially going green. So, it took me a few weeks to get up the nerve to use it because it isn’t something most people around here use. My bag is very cute, its black with white polka dots. (I got this picture from the BAGGU website and I think this is the one I have.)

So a few weeks ago, I got up the nerve to use it at Red Line Markets (our local grocery store). My cousin, who was the cashier that night, laughed at me when I said, “I have my own bag.” Anyway, I had finally got that first time over and have now used it at Wal-Mart too. Most of the time, my groceries at Wal-Mart won’t fit into that one bag, but I have been telling the cashier she can put more items in the same bag. The cashier at Wal-Mart didn’t look at me funny at all. They sell “going green” shopping bags, so I figure they are used to it! My “baggu” holds much more than a regular sack and I’m having a good time using it! Meg, seriously you should get you one to go with your coffee at your brand new Wal-Mart in Winfield!

Moving on . . . I wrote a few weeks ago that Justin and I repainted our bathroom. So here are some pics. The first shows my wonderful husband hard at work and notice the “beautiful” green we painted 3 years ago. I wish I had better before and after pictures. Second is the completed project with my beautiful new shower curtain.

The pictures don’t do show it like HGTV would ,but we like it!

This week we’ve been planting flowers and the rain today just makes the color look great! We were going to plant the garden today, but we were rained out. Hopefully next week we can get the plants in the ground.

School is winding down. My schedule is Flugtag –this Saturday, MCT the next week, family outing to Rendezvous', one week of school and Justin’s Birthday on the 23rd! Then summer vacation!

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal...

Well you will notice (assuming I get internet and get to post this blog) that it is in fact 12:17am.  If you know me at all, you know that I am not awake at this time by choice!  Also keep in mind that it is technically 1:17 where I am. Let me walk you through the day  . . . Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy arrived in Ecru around 8am to pick us up.  The ride to the Memphis airport was quick and talkative.  We arrived at the airport around 9:30.   We unloaded all the bags at the curb and the men went to park the car.  Just trying to get a jump start on the day, I went to the ticket counter (where there was no line!) to see if I could get us checked in.  The man let me check all the bags and bumped us up to an earlier flight.  He was afraid that due to the weather, our 12:45 flight would be delayed.  When we got the gate we found out that the flight we were put on was also delayed.  The original flight was late getting to Charlotte, ...

First, I would like to welcome our new blog readers to our lives online.  Because of Justin’s heart situation, we have some new readers to our blog.  I would like to encourage you to follow after this is all over with as well.  This is a fun way for Justin and I to share about our “interesting” (although you may not think so) lives! Health Update – Justin and I talked to and received an email from Dr. Gupta, the doc in Tupelo who is taking care of us.  He said that he is sending all of Justin’s info to Dr. Landzberg in Boston.  They should receive the info by Friday and hopefully review his info by Monday.  Dr. Gupta is expecting to hear from them by mid-week at the latest, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday.   So, Justin and the rest of the family are just in the waiting stage.  It reminds me of Dr. Suess’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go”.  There is a page or two about the “waiting place”.  You can tell from the pictures in the book a...
