Mindless Monday

Good Monday morning!

It's Mindless Monday, so the Gallery Pics are all self-explanatory, and if not, I've added captions to each and every one! Mindless Monday will carry over into Tuesday. There were just TOO many pics to share in one day. (But I will have the recipe, etc. I usually post on Tuesdays.)

I've also continued to add inflatables to The Twelve Days of Inflatables. There's a new one today!

RANDOMNESS #1 - We had an incredibly busy weekend. There is always one week and/or weekend during the month of December where the majority of events "land." For the Faulkner Five, this past week/weekend was IT! But everything we participated in was great fun. From Mikie's office Christmas party to the 12 Tea of Christmas to the Oneonta Bradley Christmas to the Oxford Faulkner Christmas... memories galore were made!

This week is much, much slower, which is good since I am not quite finished with my shopping yet. SHOCK! And since I had to order more Christmas cards, I am also not quite finished addressing my cards yet. DOUBLE SHOCK! Don't worry if you haven't received one... it's coming!

RANDOMNESS #2 - My Christmas card count is now 47! Will I make it to 100? I don't know, but I am beginning my annual tradition of actually calling people who have not sent one yet. I know. It's awkward, and it puts people on the spot, but I enjoy catching up a little before I ask the question, "So why haven't I received my Christmas card this year? Problem?"

If you have caller I.D., today would probably be a good day to use it!

RANDOMNESS #3 - I wanted to pose a question to the masses out there... all three of you. What is your favorite Christmas movie of all times? Leave your answer in the Comment Section of the blog, Facebook or send me an e-mail. I'll post results tomorrow.

Enjoy Mindless Monday... lots of pictures, and few words. Tuesday we will be getting busy, busy, busy on A Simple Life. There are a lot of things to cover before "THE BIG DAY."

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!
