i'm patriotic too... why don't i get the day off?

Thanks for the reminder - so true! How is it that Veterans' Day gets so overlooked sometimes?

By the way, I saw your thoughts on dress at services, and I agree. Very well said!

Are most aggie gals odd?

^now there's a rhetorical question.

lol

In response to your question, if by "odd" you mean highly intelligent, incredibly perceptive, and all around quite fabulous, then, yes, most Aggie gals are odd. :)

i think your g/f left a few things off the list.

yeah. totally.

Great reminder Amanda. Very sad that so many people in our country overlook Veteran's Day and all the sacrifices our men in uniform have made for our freedom.

whatever... you have stories.

Thanks, Amanda!

I figure since a fellow cub of yours approves, that you all approve :-)

Which was harder to survive?

Super happy you and your family are safe and sound. I know my family is safe, but haven't heard yet if their place was flooded out or not.

I couldn't resist. Love you!

still powerless at the house... can't see my toolbox... better take it to jiffy lube.

and yet tech seems to find a way to beat a&m.

Did you delete my comment??? L

I've been insane for quite a while now. There is a comment missing. Maybe I didn't hit the comment button after typing it...me crazy!

how about them aggies!! :}

so are you saying that the were just one person short for the 12th man to be effective or are you just that important to the football program?

TAG!!! You've been Tagged. You are now to go and read my site, then come back to your site and post 8 things about yourself. lol lol Emmadell tagged me, so I'm passing along the "fun". lol

idk, he didnt email you back??? ill chide him when i see him next for you

shoulda just sent the e-mail to me lol

so a&m was the big 12 champions your freshman year! what happen the other three (or more) years?

^^ That was the only year she went to A&M before she got kicked out.

Michael stocked up for your next visit:

My kids LOVE weenies--just like their Aunt Amanda!

ewwww - i don't know which is worse, something about chocolate chip pancakes and sausage combo makes me feel extremely sick, but the fact that you actually have all of those in your home is pretty disturbing!

Why don't you just tell me yourself

I haven't seen you lately at Cy-Fair, so I just thought I would say hi. :)

guess what you've been tagged twice!!! go see my page and do the same

did you and kelly enjoy the jfk museum and did you do any other site seeing?

Do you do plain, roasted, chili on cooking your weenies? THanks for the help this weekend! lol We are having birthday celebrations, it seems everyone was born in October...LOL

what happen to the aggies??! they were looking so good that first half and the nothing in the second. on the other hand Tech looked good.

it's never a good feeling going in at the half trailing.

gracias

Wow, good luck w/ all of that! Be sure to take some time to relax!!

so....which place?? 5-7-9 or Rave??

no one can ever say you're lazy or idle, even though you might be an american idle.

wow, three jobs!! when you find time to sleep, let alone anything else?

Please tell me you got a job at Zumiez. I could use a discount on some hip clothes.

Re from Bliss' blog: What's a good sunless spray tanning place? I've heard so many nightmare stories...

I enjoy folding clothes too. We must have some OCD in our blood. I compulsively do my job now... its pretty nice.

I don't have a new 3rd job, but I do have a new first job here where I've moved now!! ...does it count that it works me like 2 jobs? lol Enjoy all your new clothes and the giving of fashion advise!!! That is cool! Do you give discounts to poor friends? lol

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday - Funny blooper videos are here

check your calendar... it aint x-mas yet... that's the only "giving" time of year.

what store are you at?

HOpe it was a GREAT Celebration!!!..and you got lots of gifts!! lol =) You the woman!

must be a genetic thing...

didn't need an excuse... was gona use um up anyway... don't wana be wasteful!

so has enough time gone by that you now have a NEW wardrobe from your new job???

Thank you so much for the comments on my post. You give another great perspective, and I love having multiple ways to think about things. Thanks again! Hope you have a great holiday weekend!

No, it really didn't get too wet. There are soap stains on the back of my seat. The water seemed to be angled right at my head, and I got the window up FAST, so it really wasn't too bad. But I think Drake may be traumatized for life.

Yes, we had fun, thank you! TJ especially, since his team won! :)

Is the hurricane stuff messing with your area?

Come see us!

So, I never heard where you are working. In which store are you working?

hey mandy

my email is celtics_fan612@yahoo.com (CELTICS RULE!!!!!!!!!)

so...what's new your way?

Prayers for you and yours during Ike!! We are even going to get a lot of rain and wind here from what they say! Prayers and best wishes!

I wish you had been caught taking the 1st picture--I would have loved to hear the explanation you would have been forced to come up with!!! L

Actually, that applies to the roach picture too! Thanks for a good laugh!!!

I got all excited when I saw that first picture (before reading any explanations) because I thought that your artsy way of showing your new engagement ring or something. Now as I look back, I realize that I don't even think that woman is white. Whoops! Oh, and Lysol is the only way I kill bugs. I don't want raid residue around me! Much less to have a smushed bug on the bottom of my shoe that I will then track around the apartment or room. No way. Lysol is the ONLY way.

there's laws against taking pics while driving

at least she wore an anklet - maybe it was supposed to be a distraction...

LOL...I thought you just got the story sequence messed up...you know, you were on your way home at sunset, stopped off to get a foot massage, you had to make a ladies room stop, but this lady had a gross accident by stepping on a roach, it scared her so bad that the hair on her legs popped out, so you, feeling sorry for her treated her to a foot cleansing, dehairing spa treatment session! And because you were so creeped out you treated yourself to one too! LOL////Yeah, the camping was sooo much fun, however they'll never get the marshmellow off the rug from roasting them in the fireplace...lol

You are dangerous with that phone of your's!!

Feet don't really bother me all that much. I guess its because I gave my grandmas and aunts pedicures and manicures from an early age and liked to do so.

Okay, feet are gross but pimply backs are tolerable? I just want to be sure I understand.

Michael gets no credit for her being feminine!!!

I found it on the web... or did somebody send it to me... cant remember!

come see my post and mark your calendar!! ;)

so you are up to what???

You've been up to that now for a long time! Is there any thing that your tall frame has been accomplishing of late? hmm? lol =)

I wish we saw you more often. I couldn't make out the hairy legs, but man we would have so much fun together!!!

my old lady wants the 4th of july pics

awwwhh that made me sad :( I really did try...but my dad was sick and the n i had to work all the other nights! And BTW when's the last time you came to visit me missy? ;) jk Love you!

so go ahead and get some tickets. hint. hint. i'll give you some money when i see you. or we can just hit up a scalper.

time for an update...

Get me a cd from the singing tonight if you can...

^please and thank you!

it was good getting to meet you last night. i'm sorry I didn't get to spend more time with all of ya'll.

first picture - i really didn't need to see that. second picture - i hope you at least stepped on it before you left. third picture - i don't think that is what jimmy hendrix had in mind with the song purple haze

why?! wasn't the picture of the hairy leg bad enough? there some thing we all know exist, but do we really need confermation?

We actually saw some armadillo skins! I should have put them in a box and mailed them to you!!!

i guess i can make some armadillo skin boots or maybe even a belt if i had to, but i don't think an armadillo skin cap would be a fashionable as a coon skin cap.

Me-ow!

Hope you're feeling better soon! I slept for like 36 hours straight and then I was totally fine! :)

Sigh. who knows. :) Hopefully we'll be there for Christmas this year. :)

April and I both decided if anyone deserved to have their "after wisdom teeth got pulled" picture posted it was you! :)

I didn't notice anything different in that picture up there....

joke

found him

It looks like he just had his wisdom teeth pulled.

nice of you to update the whereabouts of your roomy

You actually don't look too bad in that picture. You should see Barry demonstrate what I looked like after getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Pull up a photo of some knocked out drunk with their tongue hanging out and you'll get the idea. He is so handsome when he shows that to everybody we know.

I can see it, you can't?

Isn

Isn't that what happened to the Joker?

lol...oh that's just terrible...lol

is your face back to normal yet? i just wish you had the swollen eye thing going at the same time...

oh yes...so very loving..lol. Up north is still trying to sell the house, and then find a new job, and when the time comes pack more...lol. Glad to know your trip was productive and fun!!

Are you being facetious? My face looks blown up. I'm thinking we may need to do re-takes!!!

i was really disappointed that we didn't get to come, but we'll probably be there sometime soon to visit andy's parents

You need a new post.

Then make something up!

Why, thank you very much! Why wasn't your pretty face in the idle pictures? Sorry we couldn't come to the shindig. The room was undoubtedly not big enough for all of our amazing talent, anyway :)

hey...I'm almost finished camping in the middle of my mom's living room!! lol I'm so excited!! lol Happy 4th!!!

me too!
