Fourth of July Weekend Recap

I wish I would have gotton some pictures from this weekend. Unfortunately, I still have yet to get myself a camera charger. And let me just tell you it has drove me crazy! Although there was no camera, we had a great time that I am sure I will remember for a while.

Friday evening, the hubby and I set out to grab a bite for dinner. I was so excited about going to Anchor High Marina in Hendersonville. Once we got there, it was so packed out, there was no place to park. So, we opted for our Habachi Grill instead, Koi which is closer to home. We rented a movie from BlockBuster called "The Uninvited". By far the scariest movie I have ever seen.

Saturday, we both didn't get out of bed till alittle after noon. It was wonderful to sleep in. Around 4ish we headed to his parents house for pool time, and good food. Although it rained the whole time, I still got some swimming in. Poor Kaci had to stay in the pin outside, which is fine with me usually...but I was alittle perturbed that it was raining like it was and she was getting soaked. She's just not used to that. Luckily, I minded my manners, and just took it all in. It was Papa Ronnie's 49th Birthday, so after eating steak and a bake potato...along with all of the sides, cake and icecream tasted wonderful. It was kind of sad though, that all during the celebration..everyone seemed to gather around the T.V. for the latest of the tragedy with Steve McNair. Aweful what happened, but I just can't stop thinking that if he would have remained faithful to his wife, he wouldn't be dead.

Sunday was a lazy day. Nothing exciting happened in our neck of the woods. We were in hopes of going swimming, but instead mother nature intervened, and clouds set in. I went and spray tanned, and came home to Kaci wanting to play. We gave her a bath, and as soon as that happened, she konked out. Mike's on vacay this week. Who know's what the evening holds. I may see if he wants to go see a movie. :) Any suggestions??

Bling Bling.

This is why I love my trash gossip magazines and websites. You find stuff like this.



Yes sir'ee..this is $25,000, solid bronze, 14-karat gold plated, custom casket was ordered for Michael Jackson.

The casket is called a Promethean and will feature a flame blue velvet interior and a hand-polished, mirror finish.

This is the same casket used to bury James Brown... and is extremely rare.

No thanks for me!

Gone By so Fast...

I know I should probably wait and do this for our 1 year anniversary...but honestly, I am just so amazed how time has flown by. 7 mths ago, already...I was standing with my Honey, family and friends at the Wilson County Clerks Office saying my vows to the man I love. They always say time will fly by, but I didn't realize just how fast.




I was so nervous before I got there, but literally once I saw him, I was so at ease.


Yes!!! Finally, I could say I was Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas!!


My BFF, Jaclyne and I...can you tell I was sooooooo extremely happy and excited??


Newly weds...this was taken after our ceremony at the resturant with family and friends.

What were the last words you said out loud? Thank you! Have a great day!

So Stupid.

Yes, I am going to vent. Customer Service these days just blows me out of the water. In my last post, I mentioned how Kaci chewed my charger up while we were not home. So today was the day I decided to head down to Verizon and ATTEMPT to get a charger. They apparently decided when they made the phone (The Verizon Blitz), that all customers would like the car charger better than the home charger. I must be the odd one in the bunch because I would much, MUCH rather have the home charger. No Verizon store, literally (because they checked) in the state of Tennessee has my charger. And that's only one portion of the customer service I am talking about. I would think that they would want to keep several home chargers on hand, JUST IN CASE, some one out there would want to purchase one. Seriously. And I haven't even mentioned about how long I had to wait just to be acknowledged I was standing there waiting at the counter. Employee's would walk by glaring at whatever device they were holding. Then finally after 15 minutes of waiting, I got greeted. So now to sum everything up, I have to wait till Tuesday to use my phone. Kills me. I guess it bothers me more because we don't use our house phone. I don't even think I know the house number, in which I know I should learn. You really realize how much you depend on something when you don't have it. So to all who try to call and text me during the weekend, I'm not ignoring you, my phone is just literally dead. Call my Hubby if you need me. :)

Thank Goodness

Thank goodness it's Friday. I had the hardest time getting up this morning. Maybe it was because I went to bed at approximately 8:30 lastnight due to a terrible headache. Luckily, it's gone this morning. I think it was just a sinus headache.

Just when I thought this week would be a long, drawn out week, it seemed to fly by very quickly. In which I am surprised considering it's a holiday this weekend. My hubster's on vacay next week. He is in some serious need of a break, bless his heart. Although I wish I could spend the week with him, I'm thankful to have Thursday off. We're gonna be getting a caroet cleaner and doing all the floors throughout the house. WooHoo! Clean, Clean, Clean is what I will be doing on Thursday (maybe). Wink.

Yesterday, Mike had an interview for a Management position at one of the Hermitage offices. He said he thinks it went really well. We have been hoping and praying that this would come available. Our thoughts is whatever is meant to be, will be.

Along with the happenings of yesterday, my phone charger got chewed up by a furocious animal in our house while not at home. Kidding. Our Kaci had the joys of scouting out our bedroom the whole day and thought my phone charger looked chewable. So, my phone has been dead for the past 24 hrs. Verizon, here I come on lunch!

Tonight, I am hoping the Hubster will take me to Anchor High Marina for dinner. I absolutely love that place. It's located in Hendersonville. I promise you, if my Hubby gave me the choice to live in a house or a houseboat, I would pick a houseboat in a heartbeat. I love the whole atmosphere. I love the water. I love, love, love it!! And this marina is nice. Sitting on the water on a deck with the ducks, turtles and geese swimming around you....it makes dinner that much more nicer.

Tomorrow, we are heading to the in-laws for Papa Ronnie's Birthday celebration. The day will probably consist of swimming, laying out and good food. Not to mention Kaci playing with all of her doggie friends. :) Then tomorrow night, we will head to Jaclyne and Matt's like every other year. The 4th is my 2nd all time favortie holiday. I love it!

Hope everyone has a great weekend, and safe 4th! Don't burn any of your fingers off!! :)

Meet Clifton.




"1458 Good Days
The budget car salesman took all of Clifton's money until 49-30-1 football.
500 dollars my sister gives me $100 a month"

This customer is one of a kind. All of my co-workers told me to be prepared when he came inside. Luckily, I was..and delt fine with how he acted. I couldn't help but smile the whole entire time when he was talking about Farrah, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan...and even some news casters. Thanks to people like him, my day has now been just that more interesting!! :)

Oh, and by the way...apparently every time he comes to visits, you get a note. This was mine today! My co-workers and I have no clue what it means!!
