the rules:

*grab the nearest book
*open the book to page 56
*find the fifth sentence.
*post the text of the next two to five sentences in your blog along with these instructions.
*don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the closet.

page 56, sentence 5: shentrell later told me that the homeowners in the neighborhood had recently celebrated paying off their thirty-year notes.
this is my first book to read about katrina washing away the coast. i just never had it in me to read what happen to coast, but this book was given to everyone at the junior league meeting last month and i had just finish reading another book and wanted to read something else.

i tag whomever wants to do this.

HERE IS HOW MY BIRTHDAY WENT

i went in to get mamie up for school and she was kind of awake. she had her arm over her face and i said "oh my where is mamie". she just smiled and said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA, I LOVE YOU". then nolan walks in and says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY". i just laughed and mamie corrected him right off. nolan didn't like that too much. anyway, i ran around getting mamie ready for school and me ready for work. phone rang it was mom and dad wishing me a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. i asked mom what time i was born and she said "around 3:30". i laughed and said "well i guess i don't really turn "40" until then right". she said "i don't think that is how it works". mamie and i love singing along to music on the way to school so i said "you know since it is my birthday i want to hear something fun". mamie yelled out "HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL PLEASE". o.k. i know it is a little scary that i know some of the words. we had fun singing to the top of our lungs. i dropped her off and then headed to work. i was at a stop light about the third car back, all of a sudden i hear "BANG". well you guessed it, a lady ran into the back of me. i am so glad i didn't see it coming or i would have braced myself and it would have really hurt. so i got out, check my car and everything was fine. she was crying the entire time, saying that she had just gotten in a fight with her husband so on and so forth. i told her i understood, because my husband and i fought this past weekend as well and on top of that it was my birthday today. she started crying more. she gave me her information and off i went. oh, my car is fine and so am i, just a little stiff in my neck and my lower back it kind of tight. i got to work with warm wishes from the guards and phone calls from friends. kyle and i did get to go to lunch today and my judge and law clerks threw me a "80's" birthday party. my judge teased her hair very high, put shoulder pads in her shirt and some how found some blue eye shadow. boy those were the days. one of the law clerks made a cd for the occasion full of the "80's" we had cheese cake and lots of laughs. i picked up nolan, mamie, mason and jennifer so that we could go to the "FIRE SAFETY" thing at the library. (pics of that to come). for dinner kyle grilled salmon. we had a salad and yellow rice to go along with it. very good, i might add. he even bought a birthday cake for me, which nolan licked the icing off the cake. he told me to go look in the back of his truck for my present. i got a sewing table. i having been wanting one for about year now. thanks to jennifer i got the one i wanted. kyle also gave me a new (used) camera. i can't wait to learn how to use it. boy he is too good to me. after cake and ice cream we are all settling down for the night. so thanks to all of you for emailing me, calling me and commenting on the last post with well wishes for a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". WHICH BY THE WAY WAS A HAPPY ONE..................

i can't believe kyle got us all looking and smiling.
the cake was about to fall off the black thing and we just started laughing. nolan is the only one looking at the camera which is very unusual, because he is the one that usually is looking away.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

tomorrow is the "BIG 40". i will celebrate this day by going to work, maybe lunch with kyle (he has court around 1:00 though), cake with co-workers and going to the ridgeland library with mamie, nolan, mason and jennifer for fire safety week. this picture was taken on our trip this past summer. we celebrated our 10 year anniversary, kyle's "40th" birthday and my "40th" birthday. kyle asked me if i wanted to go out to eat tomorrow night and i said "no, not really". he said "oh, o.k. then". i told him maybe a movie friday night. i really don't want anything, i already have very thing i want, a wonderful husband that loves me for who i am and two wonderful children. what more could i ask for????

I GOT MY BIBLE

Last night was the 1st grade Bible presentation at church. Mamie was so excited, I don't think she really understood what this was all about, but I explained to her that Brother Ronnie was going to give her a Bible. She just said "oh, o.k.". All the 1st graders lined up and marched into the church and Mr. Ben called them out one by one, Brother Ronnie shook their hand and gave them a Bible. Mamie looks so proud holding onto her "Red Bible" (as she likes to call it). She said that she will "Cherish it forever".

LOOK WHAT I LOST!!!

Mamie lost her first tooth late this afternoon. My mother wiggled it to make it very lose last weekend when we were with them, but she couldn't get it out. So I told Mamie to start playing with it and she did all last week. So late this afternoon Kyle told her we couldn't go out to eat until her tooth came out. So I took her in the bathroom got a wash cloth and pulled it out before she even knew what happen. When I was pulling the tooth out she said "oh, please don't do that again". I just laughed and said "I wouldn't have to because here it is". It was so lose it was just hanging there. I wish I could have gotten a picture of her face when I told her it was out, but Kyle wouldn't have any part of it, he didn't even come in there. Sissy is what I would say about that. Her other bottom one is lose as well, but not like the one that came out. I told her to start playing with it and maybe, just maybe in a couple of weeks that one would be ready to come out as well. She is so excited about the tooth fairy coming tonight. She said "it is a good day today, because I lost my first tooth and those MIGHTY REBELS WON. Life is good". We are sitting here watching MSU and LSU play and she keeps yelling GO LSU, GO LSU, GO LSU. Wonder where she gets that from.
