Mindless Monday

Good Monday morning!

As the Showcase Pic indicates, Miss Roxie is our Special Guest for the month of November. She will share her "story" with us over the next three days. I have to admit, I was a little surprised by some of the answers. You never know someone as well as you think!

Since it is Mindless Monday, I'm letting the pictures in the Gallery tell the story today! It was a beautiful fall weekend, wasn't it? (Remember... Monday is now the day for tons of pictures and a very short post.)

NOVEMBER SPECIAL GUEST - ROXIE FAULKNER - PART ONE - She's mine, but she is still full of surprises. Let's get started!

1. List three adjectives that describe you.

Sassy, sweet and athletic.

2. You are going to be alone on a deserted island for a year, and you get to take one book/DVD/CD. What would you take?

Rascal Flatts... Unstoppable.

3. Describe your perfect day (from the time you wake up until you go to bed).

I would sleep late. I would have bacon, eggs, toast AND biscuits with Grandma’s homemade apple butter and a Coke from Jack’s. I love the ice. I would go shopping with friends ALL day and eat lunch at the mall. I would come home and have Mom’s chicken casserole for supper before watching a movie with the family. (That's a pretty good day!)

4. What movie character would you want to be?

Miss Congeniality.

5. If you could meet a person from history, who would it be?

Adam and Eve. I want to talk to them about the mistake they made. (I get this answer 90% of the time from women of all ages. I think we may be a little bitter toward Eve!)

6. If you could be an Olympic athlete, what would you be?

A basketball player.

7. Where is your favorite place in the world? Why?

Tennessee. I love spending time with my family in the mountains!

8. Name three things you have never done.

Skydiving (over my dead body), swimming with dolphins (not without me), and I've never eaten a fried Oreo (again, not without me).

9. What is one thing you couldn't live without?

Hoodies. (It's true. She would wear a hoodie every single day of her life if I let her.)

10. What is the hardest/best thing about being your age?

The hardest thing about being 14 is drama, drama, drama. The best thing about being 14 is I have a little more freedom.

I know she's mine, but she did a pretty good job, didn't she? Come back tomorrow to check out Part Two.

Have a wonderful Monday. We begin basketball season with a tip-off tournament tonight. Mikie's still in Los Angeles, but he'll be home very soon. On Tuesday, I'll be sharing a yummy recipe, Randomness, Part Two of Roxie's interview AND some "heart" thoughts.

Today's post was short, but I think we may make up for it on Tuesday.

Take care, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

The Enchanting Belinda

Friday...

Friday...
Finally, some new basketball action shots.

The JV team had two 40-minute games Friday, so I thought I would just go ahead and start filming now!

And here's the obligatory Bryant Tuggle pic. He's a HUGE supporter of our baskeball team. Always has been... always will be. Well, until he gets his own driver's license!

Saturday...

Saturday...
We spent the day with the cousins Saturday. Monica, Amy, Roxie and I shopped at Brookwood, ate at Yolo's and went to the movies (Pirates 4). It was a great day, but the best part was our celebrity sighting...

That's right! Will Ferrell! (Please feel free to use your imagination. I know we did!)

Sunday...

Sunday...
Mikie's 50th Family Birthday Celebration! Everyone knows 50 year-old men LOVE the Green Lantern...and their wives really like Ryan Reynolds! (How cool would it be to have your picture on a birthday party plate package? Another goal, perhaps?)

What do you give a 50 year-old guys for his birthday? Cards... filled with money, Ricky Skaggs' concert tickets, a True Grit DVD and a Red Devil's Food Cake with Divinity Icing (from his Mom). It was a very good day!

Lovely Melia gave him the True Grit DVD. (I LOVE that movie!)

And it wouldn't be a birthday without a hug from Roxie!
