I just had a thought that was so quintessentially "me" that I had to laugh. I should probably be embarrassed to admit this, but after reading my friend's post about the royal wedding, I thought, "Oh yea, the royal wedding. Is that thing today?" LOL!

So we're watching G-Force and Andrew says, "Maybe they have guinea pigs at PetSmart and maybe we can bring them home! The super hero ones!" Mmm-Hmm. That's exactly what I need.

is having a pretty good day. We're on day 1 of "Sarah Sans Diapers," Andrew actually *asked* me to take his picture instead of turning away, I was able to fit into a dress I haven't been able to wear since 2004 (which doesn't mean I *should* have worn it, but . . . LOL!), and I got to speak briefly with Leigh Anne Tuohy from The Blind Side. All those things=Supah Cool!

I wasn't so much into the Hollywood talk, but once she finished with that, she delivered a very powerful message. And the sans diaper thing . . . we're on day 2 and it's a little dicey. LOL!

Chattahoochie

Sarah has discovered that Daddy's phone also plays music. So she randomly picked an Alan Jackson song and began systematically restarting it after the first verse . . . "Way down yonder on the Chattahoochie, it gets hotter than a hoochie coochie . . . " After about the third time we heard this, Andrew said, "What's a hoochie coochie?" . . . "Uhhh . . . " (Rock, Paper, Scissors) . . . "You get to field this one, Dad."

Melanie Palmer Mims Funny thing ... I am 2 miles from the Chatahoochee! This year-- Chatahoochee High School = state champs. The Chatahoochee provides 2 of the borders for my Atlanta suburb. Who would have thought this Texas, non country fan, would have so much in common with an Alan Jacks

Elaine Dittmer The Hoochie coochie was a sexually provocative belly dance that became wildly popular during and after the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.[1] Described by the New York Journal in 1893 as "Neither dancing of the head nor the feet," What were YOU thinking?
