Dave and Buster's

I have been seeing commercials for Dave and Buster's, but we don't have one anywhere near us. However, my aunt and uncle do have one near them, and they took me there on Tuesday night! Yippee! We had so much fun. For those of you out of the loop, D & B is like "Chuck-e-cheese" for adults (and kids too). With my tickets I earned, I got a Care Bear with an eighth note on his belly (Heartsong Bear), a Dave and Buster's cup, and two mini-ball thingies. I had some extra tickets and didn't know what to get, hence, the ball thingies.

Roger took a picture of me outside by the door of Dave and Buster's.

UPDATE: Peace Lily

It looks MUCH better now. I just need to prune some more yellow leaves and he will be beautiful again! Don't you think? I lurve this plant and its fight to live. I really thought it was a goner yesterday. I'm so glad I was wrong.



Sandy left a comment stating that she thought I needed an aqua globe. I tend to agree with her. I've thought that since I first saw the commercial. I've just never bought one. Maybe now is the time :)

Peace Lily

Ryan's parents gave me a peace lily when Ryan died. I am not able to keep anything alive, so I was concerned. I was doing a good job, but then I went out of town and watered before I left. People have told me you only have to water it once a week. I wasn't going to be gone a week, so I figured I was fine. Not so much...



I came home and found that sad excuse for a plant. So, I promptly watered it last night and again this morning. Now it looks like this. Not perfect, but much better than last night.



I hope it survives and revives. I'll keep you posted.

Six Flags, Again!

I went to Six Flags again yesterday! WooHoo! Anna and Megan met me there. I had Winston, so I had to take him to the kennel. For $10, they provide a cage and water. You have to come and walk and feed your pet. The kennel was air conditioned, so Winston was more comfortable than we were.

We rode Goliath FOUR times! Megan loved it. Anna and I did too.

We took a few pictures. I took some with the characters I didn't see last time. So, please enjoy.

The new warning signs on the fences. The signs used to be MUCH smaller. They fit in between the two rails along the top (about the height of the "danger zone" part and the width from rail to another)

Joy of Singing

Hello all!

The past two days, I have been at a workshop called "The Joy of Singing." We sang all day today and half the day yesterday. We were previewing music for the upcoming school year. I got some great ideas.

Yesterday morning, Shannon and I went to get our toes did. I just had them do the same thing, french pedi. When it was all said and done, we went to pay and I handed them my check card. All of a sudden three people were at the booth looking at the credit card machine (I was drying my toes at the drier thingy). Then someone started making phone calls. I started wondering about what in the world had gone wrong with my card, as I did actually have money in my account. Shocking, I know! They had given themselves a $25 tip on accident. So they had to find out how to void the transaction. Crazy! I'm glad they realized what they did!

This is my last night in the ATL. Tomorrow I am headed to Six Flags again and then back home! Yea! I miss home.

Well, I am having a super time here. I hope everyone had a great week so far.

It is true...

My friend, Sandy, just called and asked me if it was true that I was in ATL (she had read my update on myspace). It is in fact, TRUE! I am visiting my aunt, uncle, and two cousins in the ATL this week. I came over on Saturday afternoon and we went to Moe's for dinner. Now I did not enjoy my first experience with the food, so I have not returned, but so many of my friends love it. I decided to try it again. It was very tasty. Yea!

Yesterday, we went to church in the pouring rain and guess what I was wearing.... a WHITE shirt! Yea! Wouldn't you know it? After church, we went to Zaxby's for lunch. Super yummy. (We don't cook during the summer. It gets too hot in the house) We went home and packed for our super fun evening of music. We went to Turner Field for Leeann Rimes, Brooks & Dunn, and Kenny Chesney. There were other acts there too, but these were the best. We had a great time, despite the rain and the trek through the mud to get there.

This morning I woke up to someone beating on the door. My oldest cousin, Philip, was trying to come home. Imagine that. We had locked him out, so I got up and went and let him in. We sat around and talked a little and then decided to play UNO. My uncle had gone to pick up the youngest, Evan, from his friend's house. Now we are all here. Just relaxing. We may take a trip to the mall later today.

One point of interest (to some not all), my "reunion toes" were totally messed up from walking in the rain, mud, and puddles (in flip flops!) to the concert, so I need a new pedicure! If you remember, my reunion was back at the end of May and my pedi has lasted this long! I only have had to touch up a couple of toes. But, alas, all good things come to an end...

I will post pictures later!

I saw this idea on Leigh-Ann's page and I wanted to do one of my own. You should try it.

You too can do a Wordle!
