pictures... 08-26-08 10:11pm EST
I took lots of pictures, and while I haven't had time to upload many, I posted some to the side ;)

I hope you all had an amazing weekend! 08-25-08 09:27am EST
Brea has been trying to grind her little teeth together.. It makes me shiver a little when she does it when I'm holding her.. I'm sure she'll get bored with it pretty soon as she has other things she discovered she could do. hehe

It's amazing how fast time has been flying lately!

We went to see our newlywed friends and their own little place - which is really cute!!
Brea refused to sleep for the most part so we all played with her and kept her happy until she eventually fell asleep while I was holding her on the couch. Poor little baby!
She had so much fun, though. She played with Bethany pretty much the ENTIRE night, and stared at Ashton. ;P She is such a little flirt! *shakes head* What are we going to do with her?

Brea can now stand up!! Sort of. We had to lower her crib on Saturday because when I walked into her room, there she was standing up and holding onto the bar. She was leaning half way over and could have fallen to the floor! So Andy lowered her crib to the next-to-lowest setting. Later when we were sitting on the couch she kept popping up, standing up and laying with the couch cushions!
Imagine that... she skips actually trying to "crawl" and still can't pull herself into a sitting position (we assume she is too fat ;) ) but now she's trying to walk!

When in Kentucky, momma found out I had never watched I Love Lucy and we spent a while watching I Love Lucy clips on the internet, and were laughing SO hard. Now, I've watched it a few times since then, and have thought of momma each time. There are some old tv shows I just love.. the Andy Griffeth Show and I Love Lucy being two of my favorites. And Little House on the Prarie and the Waltons brings back memories of when we were little, too!

I'm still debating what to start studying in the class I'm teaching on Wednesdays. Tina had started a study on Colossians right before she left. That is completed, and Andy has suggested maybe I should just move on into the Thessalonians. I'll have to make up my mind soon!
Any ideas?

I better get off here for now... Brea is trying to chew on my toes, and I have stuff to do!

Y'all have a great Monday!!

Love forever and 45 days,
that one weird girl,
_kimi

blessings_of_a_momThat picture of you on top looks very weird. Almost like a possessed woman. :) 
be_with_me_lordThankfully they teeth grinding will stop when she gets used to having teeth. That sound is so icky. 
verny_mackoh, by the way, I forgot to tell you this in my last comment...I LOVE that picture of you! :D Your glasses are so cute! :) Do you ever wear contacts? 
just2seeusmileMy baby niece is growing like a weed; and tho she's a cubby thang she's healthy for which Im very happy for! :D There's nothing like a home full of baby giggles!! ^..^

There's so many things you could teach on Wednesday nights and I do like Andys suggestion to be honest; I do like the Timothys also. I don't know your Bible students but I'd say personally I'd just get to know them really well and stay in constant prayer and the Lord will guide you what to teach your students :D

Steven's learning the projector at Charlestown Road. We're putting hymns up instead of everyones nose tucked deep into song books. The congregation thinks this would keep our minds from straying off the song (as so many of us know the songs by hearts) and we can lift up our heads and read the songs off the screen... anyways its alot for him to learn cause its Windows based; who knows maybe he can talk them into Macs, that would be cool! ;)

Alrighty dear I need to jump off here and run the vacume over the floors before I head out to see about a job interview. I love you lots, take care and eat something sweet today! hehe

Much love and hugs and kisses to you and the family! 
southernpoet87Thessalonians would be good to study!! 
onelittlecandleI love the old shows like Lucy and Andy Griffith and Little House...good stuff! 
i_am_a_sheepyeah when I get older, I want to own a house by a private beach! and the Andy Griffeth Show is so funny! I used to watch it with my dad when I was little. 
just2seeusmile..near your computer? I IMed you... do you see me? 
mommarnYour little girl is growing so fast! She is a cutie! Have a great week! 
Gods_Country_GirlAwww... She is so cute! :D 
sarahphimSuch cute pictures! I like the ones showing her hair sticking up - so adorable! 
eehiabehiaBrea is adorable! 
field_mouseThose pictures are wonderful! She is soooo cute :) 
southernpoet87awwwww! Brea is so big!! I can't wait to hold her this weekend and give her millions of hugs and kisses!! 
singforjoyadorable pictures! she definitely likes the camera! 
i_am_a_sheepBrea is so adorable!! 
mississippigirlBrea's an expressive little thing, isn't she? 
just2seeusmileOooo what program did you use? Look at my cute lil niece! I'm sitting in Mcdonalds very hungry (dying to the smell of fish and big macs)... haha! love you! 
verny_mackI'm the same way! I write songs mostly when I'm in a sad or strange mood like that. :) I haven't posted any of my songs on pleo...most of them are related to a certain situation, which is probably not smart to post them on pleo...for now. :) You are so sweet!! Love you Kimi! :) 
just2seeusmileOh yes, they are good!!
I lost so much weight this week that my black pants size 10 falls off my hips (and last week they fit perfect!)... :o lol
Mcdonalds wants to freeze us out i think! haha! 
Gods_Country_GirlThank you girl! And yes I know what ya mean about the drive.. ;-) 
princessgirlie25im ok.. learning to deal with jared not here anymore but i guess im doing ok.. its hard! i miss you!! brea looks adorable as always!!!!! 
verny_mackAw, hehe. Thanks!! You're so sweet.
What I do is liquid eye-liner on the top lid, a pretty thick line, and pencil liner on the bottom. I sort of put it like..IN the eye, like...not on the eye BALL...it's hard to explain! lol. and then I normally do like, a really reaaaaallly dark (almost black) eyeshadow just over the lid, until the "crease" in the eye lid. and then I sometimes do mascara. :D
It really depends on what kind/shape of eye you have to pull off certain make-up looks. :) I think I want to be a hair-make-up stylist when I "Grow up." ;) 
mjintexasRe: Sour cream- I shy the water and oil by about maybe a tablespoon (not much at all!) and just add in the sour cream as I'm mixing it. It makes the cake extra creamy! 
be_with_me_lordI love the picture of her saying 'cheese'!

wow! 08-21-08 04:42pm EST
Time flies way too fast.

When I was on the phone with momma last night she mentioned how it seems like it's already been a month since we've been up there - and it really does! *sigh*

We had SO much fun! We took tons of pictures I've yet to get all sized up... but here are a *few*!



Daddy and momma bought Brea her very first puppy! Her name is Lulu.. named after one of Brea's favorite toys (a stuffed spider), and she is a 2 month old black lab - adorable!! When momma and I brought her home, Andy and daddy took Brea out to play with her. Lulu began to lick and nibble on Brea's fingers, and Brea just giggled and laughed sooo hard - it was SO cute! I wish we had a video of it! Lulu is in Kentucky with meemaw and peepaw in wait of our return so Brea can play with her. ;)


Guess what! Brea is working on more teeth.
It's not exactly the conventional one or two at a time teething, either.
FOUR teeth are trying to break through at once!
Now we have to be quite careful when she comes over to play with us now.. if we sit there on the floor with her she will crawl all over us... but now she sneaks up on us and bites us. hehe
She is chewing on EVERYTHING she can find. If there's nothing around to chew on, she chews on her feet. hehe

It's been so weird with Tina gone, now.. I'm used to seeing her a lot and now she's at college a few hours away! Boo. But she'll be coming down the weekend after this one, so I'm excited! :D

I'm happy about tomorrow.. we go to our good friends' new place to eat and hang out. It seems like it's been a long time since we've hung out with them.. they're pretty much the only couple we know that is near our age.

I had a better update written up, but then we had a major power surge and lost electricity for about an hour -_- I lost everything! Ack!

I know I really probably couldn't survive life without electricity. lol :P
Well.. not without the computer and internet, anyway.

I have to go make supper - and quickly! Eeep!

I love y'all!!

Love forever and a plate of spagetti (with garlic toast)
that one weird girl,
_K.I.M.I
mississippigirlI don't miss my teething days.

In Kentucky!! 08-11-08 09:39am EST
That's right.. we headed out late Thursday night and got to Kentucky in the we hours of the morning!

Andy has been so good to offer to let me stay up here while he goes back down to work Tuesday and Wednesday night, just for him to drive back up for Thursday and Friday and take us all home. *thinks how lucky she is*

Late Friday momma and daddy drove up to IN to bring Brandy down so she could spend some time with all of us.
Saturday grandmom and James (from daddy's side) came over and then our neighbor Jeffery came over as well! We all had a really good time, and Jeffery washed dishes for momma, Brandy and I after supper!

Sunday morning Andy and I drove Brandy up to Clarksville where Steven was waiting to pick her up. At first we were afraid we were going to miss seeing his uncle Steven and aunt Pam, but turns out Andy was able to get directions to the Corydn church of Christ and we were able to hear him speak. The preacher was out of town along with his wife to get their daughter Dana settled into Faulkner!
We ate at a Mexican restaurant "Los Napals" or something like that. Chimichangas are yummy!!

After that, we went and visited Andy's grandparents for about two hours or so. They were tickled to see little Brea again!

Andy began to get really tired, and since he had a long drive for today (Monday) we realized how late it was getting.
Unfortunately, Charlestown Rd. church of Christ started earlier than we thought and we were unable to get to see Brandy one last time and return a bag of hers we overlooked in our floorboard when she climbed out. :(
We were going to go out there with her, but Andy was so tired.. any other day and we definitely would have joined her.

As soon as we got home Andy laid down on the couch and crashed. All this driving is so hard on him.. Everyone that has heard what he's doing for me to see momma and daddy have the same thing to say "That man loves you!"
*heart*

This is one of the first times me getting on the internet for a while, now! I've been so sleepy, though.. because Brea has decided she doesn't like sleeping in her playpen and it's more fun to wake up about 2:00 in the morning and "talk" and play than to sleep. Being in the same room of course, we wake up. ;)

I think it's time to get off and make some pancakes! with chocolate syrup! Yummy! :D

Please keep Andy in your prayers during his travels... I know he's going to be really tired! :S

Y'all have a wonderful day!!

Love forever and a happy little grandbaby playing with PePaw and Memaw Blair,
that one weird girl,
_kimbrena


I love and miss you sooo much!!
mississippigirlWhy don't you come over my way? You haven't lived until you've been to Mississippi.

just2seeusmileI had a great time! The washer cables steven was able to get ended up half working..as long as I use cold water, (hot water one is broken) so I can get my cold water stuff out of the way before I see momma and daddy, a little is better then nothing ;)

Thanks again for all the good times! Love you, see you in November! *muah!* 
i_am_a_sheepawww glad that to see that you guys are doing well!! Get some rest:)

just2seeusmileThanks for chatting this morning--wish me luck ;) buh-byes! *muah!* 
just2seeusmileYehaw! :) Husbands are just the greatest aren't they ;) Oh and I've never had bakers chocolate before cause i've been so use to using cocoa so you can imagine my distress after not having a stove for a year and my recipes have ran away how I was when I couldn't find the brownie recipe! I was like ahhh! (*haha*)... but I did find a whole bunch of recipes you wrote down for me when I went to stay with Rita *i -hearts-you~* And yay to stoves! We all get use to washers, dryers, dishwashers and stoves until we're without them for a year and then when we get them back its like royalty dude!! ;) haha! Me wuvs you!! 
just2seeusmilebtw, do you still have the two patterns up there? 
just2seeusmilegoing going -gone! ;) 
brianneyep, i get to keep it in, and the retainer will help keep it open. 
just2seeusmileLulu is beautiful!! Sorry my connection is just not working out for me--I need to hop off here and go get Steven, thanks for sharing that picture with me!!! You look great in it too by the way!! Now i wanna see pictures of my beautiful niece and the puppy! ;) Lots and lots of pictures! hehe :D 
texasboyWell, I plan on bringing a more serious side to me on Pleonast. Talk about things that are on my mind and matters going on around the world.

verny_mackLOL! That song cracks me up. My brother was on Rhapsody last night putting some music on his MP3 player, and he told me to put on the headphones. I had NEVER heard that song before. HAHA! 
southernpoet87Boo.

AHH! :( 08-02-08 11:34am EST
I am thoroughly creeped/freaked out.
*whimper*

Almost a week ago we found a disturbingly large red spider that looked like a huge red ant (not fuzzy) in our BEDROOM! It ran away before it could be killed.

Just now I saw something crawling on my paper/letter organizer that is sitting on my desk, right beside me. It was the huge, ugly, creepy spider. That looks like an ant.
That is like.. two horrible things in one!

I grabbed my shoe to squash it with, but it 'disappeared'. It ran into my large drawer of my desk through the back!

I just tried googling the description of the ant. Bad idea. I spent only a few minutes of looking at hideous creepy spider/ant pictures, and I'm so creeped out/freaking out.

I'm terrified it's going to crawl out of my desk onto my arms .. or get on the floor and bite Brea! If, in fact, it does bite. Which I guess is unlikely, but that's my one and only terror of spiders: that they'll bite.
Either that, or Brea will chase the ugly thing down and eat it.


Do any of you know what kind of spider this is? It looks like one of those smooth, little red ant.. only.. HUGE. The first time I saw it on our bedroom wall I squeeched (combination of squeak/screech), cried out "ANT! It's.. HUGE!" and ran behind Andy. That was when we realized it was a spider.

*sniffle*

This is really, really horrible.

*shudder*

I think I'm going to get away from my desk and clean or something.. I need to vacuum. Maybe I'll unwittingly vacuum him up. :{


EDIT:

I almost forgot to include a link to please keep my sister in your prayers, please!! :{
crystalizedHow many legs does it have? If 8, then it's a spider. If 6, it's an ant. :) 
crystalizedI googled some stuff and it sounds like it might be a sun spider? I don't know though, I've never seen one. 
southernpoet87either one, it isnt a nice bug. 
southernpoet87..though technically, spiders arent a bug. 
cellophaneit it looked like this, don't worry, it's a woodlouse spider, and they feed exclusively on pill-bugs (or roly-poly bugs, or whatever you call them). They will only bite humans if handled. They are poisonous, but it's not considered dangerous unless you're extremely allergic to it and you don't treat it. still might be a good idea to get rid of him. Vacuumming sounds like a good idea. Good luck! :) 
southerngirlthanks for the welcome! I am praying for your sister! 
singforjoyWould love to read your happy list! I miss talking to you, too. Have a wonderful day! :) 
happy_2_be_meEwww no I hate spiders I hope you can dipose of him soon! :) 
trevaesaAw, I'm sorry to hear your parents lost their dog. Yes, please pass the info about Molly along to them. Louisville isn't terribly far from us, so if they were interested, I'm sure we could work something out. 
mississippigirlHey you, sweet thing! 
i_am_a_sheepeeeww!! I'm sorry about that... if it makes you feel any better, we have ants in our kitchen:P 
fireboltany luck finding out what kind it is? i'm scared of spricketts. do ya'll have sprickets? they are what happens when spiders and crickets have babies together. muntant spider cricket animals that LEAP at you...not just jump...leap! and chase. i hate them. they have them in virginia. it's not fun. :(

good luck identifying you spider. 
fireboltyep...the boy comes home today!! :) i'm so excited!!! 
just2seeusmileThanks for bringing me back home and thanks guys for making me feel so special. I love you both and Brea tooooo! Hugs and love!
