Hey, I just thought of something! If a woman has a “hysterectomy”, does that mean she will never be “hysterical” again? Oh my. Another thing to worry about.

GF-Gaither Fest

And we are too warmed up–menopause is it’s own personal,portable heater.

Oh, geez, Auburn60 and LindaB should take their show on the road. I should have stopped reading after their exchange because I don’t even KNOW the what-the-heck FF or GF is, but whoa, lighten up – it was a positively HYSTERICAL exchange.

Thanks foe the laughs.

Betty, I bet he has a nice house. I love looking at housese and seeing where people live. It is always very interesting especially when they are known like he is.

Everyone have a great day! Keep on blogging!!!!

If you don’t mind, I will not want the Refrigerator Momma because it reminds me too much of Refrigerator Perry. I just don’t want to feel like a full back or half back, or whatever he was when he played football. I mean, it would not inspire me at all to have that name face me everytime I got ready to blog with Tori. That is what I do, isn’t it? Or do I just post on her blog? Well, you never know until you ask.

But, alas, I will have to stick with my full name because “they” say it can’t be changed. I could change my password but not my name. I don’t know, guess I thought I was getting another driver’s license for a second when I signed on for the first time. Old people do that sort of thing at moments in time. If I haven’t told y’all lately, I don’t like old age.

Good night everyone – will check back and see what is going on tomorrow.

themema which pictures are we voting on? The ones mentioned something about a solution or Madi’s first day?

THAT’S JUST WHAT MY MOMMA ALWAYS SAID! But she had a way of “fettering” it.

Alyson, you don’t have a thing to be “embarrassed” about! We all know you meant no offense to anyone.

Now, let’s see—–a new username for Barbara M. Lloyd? I guess we shouldn’t use her initials—-B.M. What about “Refridgerator Momma” ’cause I’ve heard her fridge door is quite unique and spectacular. When I was traveling last year and entered the state of S.C., in one of those visitor welcoming centers there was a pamplet advertizing her fridge as a tourist attraction.

Belinda, coconut cake is one of my favorites! Got any left for a hungry smart-aleck?

Okay Momma Lloyd – what will it be? Guess I’ll vote “Warm Momma” too. So, will we see you signing in differently soon

Linda & Alyson I needed this! You girls are great, laughter is good and I got a good laugh!! Thanks! (Also a few mental pictures that brought tears to my eyes I was laughing so hard)

To all the newbies – welcome!

Tori and Gracelynn, you girls are making me hungry. I may have to go see what I can come up with, I think I might have a piece of Coconut Cake left…be back later.

Um Tori…..what about Madi’s pictures?

And Tori, I want some B&J’s strawberry cheesecake ice cream so don’t feel bad. LOL Guess I shouldn’t have thought about doing that bulletin board with the ice cream scoop cutouts on it today LOL.

Dear Amazed, I can assure you that Alyson and Linda (see I even know them by their first names) would never be unkind to old folks ’cause they hang out with me. Well, Linda does and Alyson will just as soon as we get a chance. I will be 78 this year and, because I know those girls it didn’t even cross my mind to be upset with them.

You know, I am having second thoughts about my new name. Sexy and Warm Momma might be just a little bit too much of a stretch. After all, if Tori’s blog is going to be read by so many people and then they start telling their friends…..my goodness, my kids might find out what is going on with me when they aren’t around and…..well, let’s just leave it there. I’ve said enough.

Your blog is awesome and my purpose for delurking was simply to remind folks that it is not just read by a “select few” but is very widespread so everything that we write should be written in such a way that we won’t be embarrassed for the “whole world” to read….cause girl the whole world reads you!

I do agree about Linda B!

Now Linda B, on the other hand– she’ll fool ya. She looks like a harmless, gentle, soft-spoken little lamb. But behind that cute-as-a-bunny face is the wild unfettered mind of a born smart-aleck!

Thank you for joining in this discussion– again, I promise you, auburn wasn’t being mean. She just happened to be sitting by a group of people that were really not enjoying FF at all, and were borderline rude to her, which made her feel really embarrassed for trying to be friendly. That is a VERY RARE occurrence at any Gaither-related event! How can you not have fun at a Homecoming concert?!

Amazed– first of all, thank you THANK YOU for de-lurking and leaving a comment! I can’t tell you what a kick I get out of finding out who my readers are! And that I actually have some!

Secondly, please know that auburn of all people is not remotely being disrespectful or flippant or rude about FF or any Homecoming fans– she is a HUGE supporter of both. You’re right, this was a specific incident that not a lot of people knew about because to be honest, she was kind of embarrassed about it–but she made Linda B and I laugh our heads off when she told us the story, and I promise, the only person she was making fun of was HERSELF! She has a heart as big as all outdoors, and if you haven’t ever met her at a concert or gathering, I would encourage you to because you will love her.

And thirdly– are you just kidding me about the fact that there are people actually calling you about this blog??? Or that there are really people that you know of who read it but never post comments? Who are these people?! GIVE ME NAMES AND ADDRESSES!I will track them down to their homes and force my way in and make them cookies and beg them to de-lurk just like you did.

Please become one of the ‘select few’ that regularly stop by and speak up! I am embarrassed to admit how good it makes me feel when that happens. Thank you so much for your encouragement. And please– if you ever sit by auburn, do yourself a favor and laugh at her jokes. She might bust out crying if you don’t. Or possibly slit your tires.

Now onto important things Tori I always enjoy your writings and read but haven’t been posting. Think that might change.
You just keep posting the interesting stuff girl.
Believe it or not humor is a part of my life.

Tori – your prose is greatly appreciated! You have no idea how many people can’t wait to read your next chapter! Keep it going on!

Tori I did love your blog post and most especially loved the previous “looking back” You are a prolific writer!

Alyson, I’d like to “re-focus”, but it’s too late. The cow is out of the barn now! Both of them.

You are all hilarious :o)

Wendy

I’m gonna go jog now…….to the fridge. I’m hungry.

Tori, you better post pictures of Madi’s first day at school QUICK if you want to ‘lift and separate’ Linda and me.

(Alyson, we are SICK. Meet me at the hospital.)

Who egged me on? Alyson??? Shame on ya.

My kids were not morning people either and I certainly can identify with “wrestling” my kids awake during those school years. It’s so hard to do while in a stupor. I hated it!

My husband is one of those lucky persons who wakes up rarin’ to go! At least, I THINK he is——he’s not here when my mind clears. On the weekends, he wants to go out for “breakfast” all the time! I say okay—-IF they serve breakfast at noon. Otherwise, have a good time, honey! See ya when you get back.

Char looks adorable in her uniform. Our little Animal Planet expert! I hope they don’t give her too much homework so she has to miss the Animal channel. Ya never know when her knowledge of animal behavior might come in handy!

Now, I think I’ll go back to bed……….’cause I CAN! (Old age has some perks.)

Charlotte has truly become a beautiful young lady, but then what did I expect, her parents are the incomperable Mr. and Mrs. RT.

Oh I see we now have two Phyllis’s welcome…..

Most I know are not morning people, so I try really hard to restrain myself and not talk everyones ears off LOL.

Hope the bra shopping was successful – I have two teen girls, I can certainly relate!! ( It kills my 16 y/o that her 13 y/o sis is more developed ( and taller) !! No justice LOL

Not having any children of my own, your blog today can only bring back sweet memories of my own school days. Coming from a big family – there are 6 of us – the school bus stop was always assigned to be around my parents house. That’s where all the kids “hung-out”. My mom was the neighborhood “mom”. She was a fulltime Mom and wife. If we were brought home early for some unexpected reason it was my mom who made arrangements for the kids parents to find there child at our house (if both their parents worked and were not home at that time to receive their child…) I’m remembering the metal lunch box of your favorite tv show or some favorite theme on it. Instead of standing in line waiting for the bus to come – man, you put your lunch box down in the line to mark your spot and then you took off running – around the neighbors yards chasing each other, playing tag or sitting on the curb up from the stop – playing in the stones on the street – talking to the other kids… (maybe throwing stones back at the bully until mom catches ya…) until you saw that big yellow bus round the corner and than running to your spot in line marked by your special lunch pale… and if you didn’t come running you’d hear mom’s loud voice (didn’t matter if it was her own child or someone elses…) she’d holler Scotty, John, Sue, Robyn the bus is coming – get in line!!!!

The first couple weeks of school, when I finally get my butt out of the house in the morning and jump into my vehicle and head out to work… as I’m driving to work and I see the school buses and the children in the neighborhoods waiting for them to arrive those special memories flood my mind and it makes for a pleasant drive to work. After awhile when the normal routine of seeing the buses fades away, those memories some how fade too… but in the “new-ness” of the school year – the first week or so brings back some special memories of going to school and some how wanting to be that young and innocent again! I always loved school!

Have a ball when you all go bra shopping. That is not my idea of fun – bad memories I guess. My breasts would rather be liberated I guess LOL.

I hate the ability of morning people to get up and function in the morning. My brain comes awake about 10 PM. I never could study, even in college until after 10 pm. I tried many things to change my internal clock. Nothing worked. I should have just gotten an all night job. I have had many desires, late at night, to see a morning sunrise. But at sunrise, I could care less!

There are many things I miss about the years you are now living, Tori. But getting up early is not one of them.

So how did the bra shopping go? Did you get Madi all ready for school? If I remember correctly she gets up at 5:30 in the morning, well on school mornings? At least that is the story I heard? Will be expecting pictures of her tomorrow right?

I am one of those annoying morning persons. As soon as my feet hit the ground I am ready to start my day. Troy on the other hand is not. I can talk and talk to him when he first wakes up and all I get are stares back, okay maybe glares? I keep thinking he will start liking mornings but after 29 years, nothing much has changed there. I can remember waking up a long time ago when I was a wee little girl and hearing my Mom whistling as she was starting her daily chores and we would walk in the kitchen and my Dad would be there reading and ready to chat. Guess that is what I have always thought you were to do. Yes I do love mornings.

Phyllis, so glad you found me, too! Please keep coming back.

Momma Lloyd– If I start singing on the way to school Madi threatens to jump out, the little weasel. Char IS growing up… though for the life of me, I don’t think we look alike at all!
