Dicks for New Years

Denise — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 19:49:33 +0000

On our way. This will be fun. Dick’s is always fun and this New Year’s Bash will be extra rowdy. Happy New Year Y’all.

Quiet Christmas

Denise — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 21:45:47 +0000

All the presents are wrapped and the stockings are stuffed. I’m exhausted and have to get to bed. Thank God I don’t have any little kids that are going to wake up at the crack ass of dawn and want to open the presents that Santa brought them. My sister can deal with that joy and I will see my nieces and nephews at dinner tomorrow night.

I’m looking forward to sleeping in, having a late Christmas brunch, and then heading over to my sister’s house for the family dinner around 6:00 pm.

Thankfully, my mom is out of the hospital and will be able to come to the dinner. We have been so worried about her – this will be a special Christmas just having her home and healthy at her age.

Mother Nature

Denise — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 18:49:01 +0000

I spent the night checking in with friends and family seeing how they were dealing with the hurricane on Facebook. It was all a buzz up until about midnight and then it got pretty quite, I got bored and finally hit the sack around 1:00am. Good thing that today is Sunday because I normal don’t stay up that late and I got to sleep in until about noon.

I’m so glad that Irene wasn’t as bad as well all had anticipated. We have had way too much excitement this week, what with the earthquake and then the hurricane.

County Fairs

Denise — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:34:34 +0000

In this area the county fairs are always in August and always after school has started. I don’t see the logic in this. Why can’t they have the fairs before school starts so the kids can attend? And the two biggest counties that have the best fairs overlap, with one starting a week earlier than the other but ending on the same weekend as the other one starts. That makes no sense, either.

Bonna – ROOOO!

Denise — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 18:47:54 +0000

This next week is all about music. The 10th annual Bonnaroo Festival is like Tennessee’s answer to Woodstock back in the 1960′s. There are going to be huge crowds, lots and lots of great music music and many great memories made. I can’t wait!

Great Air Show

Denise — Sat, 07 May 2011 21:11:11 +0000

Every few years there is a group who puts together an air show and it is always great fun. I don’t know why they don’t do it every year, but it’s been a while since the last one. It’s a great day for families, but there are tons of guys who go to this event and tons of serious camera geeks who take thousands of photos of all the planes, jets and helicopters. You can just breathe in the testosterone in the air when you get there.

Busy Weekends

Denise — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 21:07:40 +0000

Next month is going to be crazy busy with things going on every weekend. There are so many things happening that I can’t even attempt to make it to all of them. I think May is the busiest month all year, except for maybe December if you get all caught up in Christmas stuff. This coming weekend starts off festivals, concerts, graduations, birthdays and all kinds of fun things. Bring it on!

Welcome Twenty Eleven!

Denise — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 19:38:22 +0000

This year is going to be the best ever! We have so much to be grateful for and so many things to look forward to. Let’s make 2011 our most memorable year ever! I’ve already done my part – no hangover this morning! Yea!

Thanksgiving Home Movies

Denise — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 18:35:52 +0000

For the family Thanksgiving dinner that was held at my parents house my kid brother had the insight to bring several DVDs that he had made from the old home movies that were on VHS and had no sound. He had them playing on the big screen in the family room so that everyone was able to watch and enjoy them as we were waiting for the food to be ready and then while we pigged out and there was even plenty enough left to continue playing and entertaining until the last people left.

It was awesome to see these videos along with the family and friends that gathered that day. I have to hand it to my brother setting the whole thing up. Maybe one day one of us will take the time and put music together with them all, but that will take a lot of time and effort so I don’t see it happening any time soon.

The Holidays

Denise — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 19:09:48 +0000

Hard to believe that the Holidays are right around the corner. I swear it feels like we just took down the Christmas lights from last year’s festivities all though I know it has been a while. I just don’t know where the time goes. The older I get the faster the time flies right by be. There is something to be said about the old saying of “Youth is wasted on the young”

I’ve all ready managed to get some of my Christmas shopping done through out the year. Picking up things here and there instead of waiting for the last minute like I’ve been so prone for doing in the past. I’m also going to try and stay away from stores and malls as much as possible and get the majority of my shopping done online. That way I don’t have to deal with all the hassles that go along with the yearly task of Christmas shopping.

Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner Thoughts

Denise — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 19:16:47 +0000

My parents are getting up in their years and we have all been trying to think of ways to help them out in any way that we can. With the holidays fast approaching we are concerned about the amount of work that is needed in order to put on the big Thanksgiving dinner and then 4 weeks later having to do it all over again for Christmas. So we are going to approach the folks with the idea of splitting up the holiday dinners so that mom isn’t so over whelmed each year. I don’t know what to expect from her about the issue but it’s worth talking to her about it and soon.

Consumer Electronics Show

Denise — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 21:30:54 +0000

Was able to scrounge up a ticket to the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas this year where nearly 150,000 people attended this years event.Lots of cool devices on display my three favorite were the R2D2 robot projector and the new LG phones that show broadband video on the phone and last but not least was the squid surge protector.

Had a lot of fun prancing around the event and everyone wanting to show off their products to you as you walked by made me feel something I have not felt in a long time “wanted” even if it was just for my money it still made me feel good.
