Good Monday morning!
I had hoped for many, many more pics in the Gallery today, but once again it was slim pickins around Faulkner Farms (circa 1842). Don't worry. Things are bound to pick up with summer fast approaching. (That's what I keep telling myself.)
RANDOMNESS #1 - I brushed my teeth with DEP Styling Gel this weekend. I did not die. I did not even get sick. However, two days after the brushing, I can still taste DEP Styling Gel. I may have to eat chocolate bon bons today to get the taste out of my mouth.
RANDOMNESS #2 - The following is a conversation I had with my Mother this weekend.
Mother - "You know. I always put off buying new clothes and dressing more stylish until tomorrow or next week or next month. NOW is the time to look good. You should do that, too."
Me - "So what you're really saying is you hate the blouse I'm wearing... right?"
Mother - "Oh, yes. Very much."
RANDOMNESS #3 - With only three more days of school left, the Faulkner Five are eagerly awaiting summer break. We are weary. I remember when I was a kid. I was ready for school to end. I was tired. But I never recall my Mother saying, "I am so tired from this school year. I need a break from school."
(This may be a sign I'm a little over-involved in my childrens' lives. Nah! That can't be it!)
RANDOMNESS #4 - The Boy informed me last night he was going to have "people" take care of his banking, personal finances, taxes, etc. He is also planning on having "people" do any and all car maintenance from now on. His "people" will start keeping his calendar and making his appointments. His "people" will call my "people" about holidays, luncheons, etc.
I have to admit, I'm a little bitter my 20 year-old son is planning on having "people" before I do.
If anyone deserves "people," it is ME!
I hope you have a meaningful Monday. I have a really good recipe to share tomorrow, more pics and more Randomness.
Take care, and I'll talk to you Tuesday.
Sincerely,
The Enchanting Belinda
If you are new to A Simple Life, here's a little tip. There will ALWAYS be many, many pics at the end of each post. New pictures are added every day (Monday through Friday). If you want to get to the "picture" part of the blog, you have to keep scrolling down, down, down... but you will eventually find it! Thanks for visiting!

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...
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...
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!
